I really ought to be in bed...

First order of business -- go watch permetaform's new vid NOW. I saw it a while back (perk of living within walking distance of her), but couldn't tell anybody about it since I was sworn to secrecy until after VividCon was over. She vidded The Ring. I think that bears repeating. She vidded The Ring. You will crap your pants in fear and bow in awe. Download here.

Also? I am omgsojellus of everyone who got to go to VividCon. Vids in every color of the rainbow. I'm dying to know what people thought of my vid. People usually give their thoughts on the premiere vids. Still, I don't know if my vid will be mentioned since they didn't have room for it in the premieres show and had to put it in with the nearly new (or so tzikeh told me). Either way, I'm excited for the reviews people give because I'll have new shiny vids to look up, download and enjoy!



As for my Butterfly Effect vid -- it's going to be the death of me. Tonight I opened up my vid project to add on clips. I decided two clips didn't work and fiddled with the color, brightness, contrast, etc. until I came very close to having a breakdown. I closed Premiere. No new clips were added. I am my own worst enemy. I knew this already.

It doesn't help that the vid still has no plot.



Oh, QaF fandom. You are so wanky. I boggle at your wank. I wonder why I put up with you -- and then I remember the porn. The porn makes it aaaaalll worth it.

Heyas! You don't know me, but I asked this question in the vidding community awhile back and permetaform referred me to you...so I've stopped being lazy and here goes!

Do you know of any Nummy Treat esque vidding communities/mailing lists focused on vids in the QaF fandom?
*needs an excess of QaF vids*

Sorry this was rather random/out of the blue...
Thanks! ^^

(Hee! I'm envious of all the Vividcon attendees too...but at least there are the con reviews to read/newly uploaded videos to watch! *goes gleefully to download this Ring video...*)

I wandered by here by way of...someplace else which escapse me in my post-VVC tiredness, and wanted to take time to say that I enjoyed Superman because of what it had to say about Brian, and the emotional arc for him regarding Justin. I'm so glad you sent it!

Your vid..

Objectively, I think the lyrics of the song do match, and I like the story you were telling with the shift of Brian not wanting to be Justin's superman to not being able to be his superman.

But emotionally, watching this vid on the screen, I (as I think I mentioned previously) was creeped out. And I think it's because I don't think of QaF as a "bitches and ho's" kind of place. Brian just isn't Eminem to me. A lot of people really seemed to like the vid when it played, but they aren't QaF fans, so I think it was different for them. But as someone very emotionally invested in the show, Justin being Eminem!Brian's "bitch" made their relationship feel cheap to me to a point where my tummy was uneasy.

Again, your editing was good. But I don't believe that the feel of the song matched QaF.
