Vividcon: it totally works, ya'll!
I listened to some of my current & future vidsongs on my run today, and had a couple of revelations:
1. My Angel WIP, which I'd nearly given up on because the song doesn't build and I was starting to feel like the vid doesn't go anywhere, is totally salvageable. I just need to edit the song! At 3.5 minutes it is too much song for what I'm trying to say, but at ~2 minutes it will work fine. And now that I attended![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
heresluck and nestra's audio editing panel, I'm more confident I can! (I'd already edited the audio some to get it down to 3 1/2 minutes, but now I'm ready to get in there with a mf-ing chainsaw. First chorus and second verse will likely not survive the Wrath of Fray.)
2. I worked out some point-of-view issues I'd been struggling with in visualizing a Xena vid that I hope to make but haven't started yet. I knew I wanted multiple points of view, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. But I listened to the song once and really focused on that aspect, and it became totally clear how to structure the POV, thanks in part to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greensilver and sweetestdrain's "A Matter of Perspective" panel. (kass's panel notes.) \o/
Now I just gotta make the damn things. :/
(Also, I am posting this in part because of the discussion during joyo's panel on motivation. I'm thinking maybe if I post about my works in progress I'll be more motivated to finish them?)
