Calling Sentinel vidders

[starwatcher]

.
In Sentinel fandom, a new vid was recently announced. In the comments, one person said, "There aren't enough good TS vids being made seems like," and another responded, "I always try to look up vids for [a new fandom], so I can get a visual feel for it. I could only find a couple for The Sentinel..."

Now, I know that there are LOTS of great Sentinel vids out there, by some extremely talented vidders. The problem is finding them, if you're a new fan, or an older fan who ditzily forgets to bookmark sites. (That wouldn't be me, of course. ::whistles innocently::)

So, I contacted the Cascade Library staff, and they are willing to put up a page of vid-links. Cascade Library is gen only. But when I mentioned this on the Senad mailing list, Tamy at Senad.org said she'd be willing to do a vid-link page for slashy vids.

Consequently, I'm collecting vidders' names, sites, and vids, slash or gen. But I don't know many, since I'm on dialup; downloading takes so long that I don't do it often. However, I'd like to see a full page of links; interested fans should be able to find vids as easily as they find fanfic.

So, if you'd like your vids listed on the link-page, and if you haven't already heard from me (I've been emailing anyone I could find), visit my post here, and leave your information.

For those in other fandoms -- I have a poll up; do you prefer to be known as an 'author', 'creator', or 'vidder'? Feel free to leave your opinion; I'd like more input.

And -- if you like this idea, and would like to see it implemented in your fandom, the idea is free for the taking. Maybe you can convince your own archive-sites to implement a similar page.

Clip conversion question

[dkwilliams.livejournal.com]

I'm making a vid and I've ended up with a mix of 4:3 and 16:9 clips. In the past, it's usually been a majority of 4:3 and I've converted the others to that format, but in this case, I want to use the letterbox format. So - what are your suggestions for the best way to convert these clips to letterbox without messing up the aspect ratio?

Torchwood - Banned From Argo

Not my work, but this beauty deserves more attention. A Torchwood fanvid set to Leslie Fish's classic Star Trek filksong "Banned From Argo".

This is the project

It's Inside the Vidder's Studio!

I will be conducting a series of interviews with several of the vidders at Supernatural Video Station and elsewhere. The title and idea behind this project comes from the infamous and long-running Inside the Actor's Studio hosted by Mr. James Lipton.

Listen to the first Skypecast interview with dayln03 (vidder of Lost, Supernatural, Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica) at my journal.

Links To Vidding Tutorials

WikiVid

edited to add: my only cautionary comment is that we do not know who is running this - nor if they are fannish.  Great set of links - do not post any of your vids or weblinks there without checking around first.

Look at this interesting set of diverse topics they have there - many have nothing to do with vidding.
