New Vid -- Runner

[way2busymom.livejournal.com]

Title: Runner
Fandom: AtS
Song: You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son
Artist: Wolf Parade

Notes: A vid about Connor. He's his father's son--but which father? Angel? Holtz? Angelus? A bit of all three I suspect.

Thanks & other miscellaneous stuff: Thanks to crazywritinfool & overworked for putting up with me when I mention that I've got a new shiny vid idea. Thanks to killabeez for the helpful beta & encouraging comments.

And honestly, this vid would still be languishing on the hard drive if not for the superior pushing of sockkpuppett. She was more than a beta...she was an ALPHA. She was also incredibly paitent & generous with her time, advice & encouragement.


Any & all feedback is welcomed.

A Poll

[giandujakiss.livejournal.com]

It's been reported in several places recently that YouTube is developing some kind of software to automatically search its files for copyrighted music, although it's unclear whether YouTube will work out revenue sharing deals with the copyright holders, or whether instead it will demand that the material be removed.

I'm curious about something. In the past year or two, I have made countless, legal, music purchases solely due to vids. Sometimes I'll buy a whole CD, (usually used, but sometimes new), or sometimes I'll just buy a song from a downloading service, but always, it's because of something I heard in a vid.

So I'm wondering: How many other people have made legal music purchases as a result of something they've seen in a vid? And, umm, if you're uncomfortable answering with your name attached, maybe just drop a comment anonymously?

[Poll #916265]

I'll leave this up for a while and summarize the results and comments in a later post.

I tallied the results and posted them here. Thanks to all who played along.

I'm a relative newbie to the world of vidding. ( exposition )

On the offchance it'll help some other newbie out there, I figured it probably wouldn't hurt to type out what I've managed to piece together and put it where someone other than myself could see it. ( my ramble )
