If you are doing a Year-in-Review or other vidding meme, feel free to drop a link in the comments!
I've found a few on my flist or by searching but it would be convenient to have them all centrally collected.
Thanks!

The Vidding Toolbox (VidUKon 2013)
May. 20th, 2013 08:31 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Here's the write up of mine and
beccatoria's technical vidding panel: 'The Vidding Toolbox'.
"Open to all vidders, from novice to ninja. We've got short video tutorials to tackle basic concepts, software-agnostic hints and tips, as well as in-vid examples of more advanced techniques and why you might want to use them. This panel aims to provide a forum for discussion and information-sharing at any level."
Enjoy!

Question: What Inspires You?
May. 12th, 2013 10:26 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Hi - not a vidder, but interested in the vidding process.
I'd like to host a vidding challenge for my fandom (this started with a song I thought would be great for a vid), and wanted some input in order to make this fun for the people who take up the challenge.
So, without further ado -
I'd like to host a vidding challenge for my fandom (this started with a song I thought would be great for a vid), and wanted some input in order to make this fun for the people who take up the challenge.
So, without further ado -
- How long would you need (4 min song)?
- Does working with a predetermined song work for you, or turn you off?
- What do you find fun about a challenge? Not fun?
- What were some of the positives and negatives of past challenges you've run across?
- Anything I've left off that I should know?

Help needed - study on remix culture
May. 23rd, 2012 10:11 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Studies have recently suggested that the general public is getting more open to configurable practices. But what is the opinion about remix culture seen from the eyes of people who actually remix themselves? This, I was hoping you could help me answer.
I am currently fielding an international survey about video remixing cultures. I hope you will spend 10 minutes answering the survey and, if possible, share it with other video remixers (doesn't have to be vidders). It is strictly anonymous.

STAR TREK 2009 - Keep Trekkin'
Jan. 2nd, 2011 09:49 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Film: Star Trek XI
Title: Keep Trekkin'
Music: "88 Rounds Per Minute" by Blue Stahli
Description: Action packed overview of the epic 2009 film. As someone who grew up with the original series and crew, I fully expected to hate this reboot but it ended up being one of my favorite films of recent years. They got the characters and the charm of old school Trek just right while still making it appealing to newer audiences, and the visuals were stunning.
WARNINGS: All fast moving, high-powered action. Watch the eyes.

(An attempt at) De-constructing the Apple Tree (in which I overuse brackets)
Apple Tree, Khameleon808 (Glitch mob fan tribute)
- 15 minute fan tribute to Glitch mob, using 4 of their tracks and footage from dozens of recent movie trailers.
"It is not intended to tell a story. I didn't edit it that way. I wanted to relate sound to motion. So each and every cut you see was picked for a reason."
From a technical standpoint it's wonderful, the editing is superb and professional, the vid itself must have been a massive undertaking. Some of those clip choice to music decisions - the breaking glass, the spatter of gunfire on the sand, they are seriously amazing - Really it deserves a technical review all on it's own. But doing both technical and thematic at the same time seemed too big a mission, so I've focused only on themes for the purpose of this review.

Race and Representation in Vidding
Apr. 16th, 2010 09:02 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
For the Vividcon vidding convention in August,
deepad and I are putting together a combined vidshow/panel called "Race and Representation in Vidding".
The blurb is as follows:
Visual markers of racial, ethnic and cultural identity are inscribed on the bodies vidders use to tell their stories. What are the political and social implications of the choices that vidders make? What narratives of resistance and subversion can be told, and what stereotypes and oppressions get perpetuated? How do the racial and cultural dynamics within fandom affect vidding and its creators? How can we analyse vids through anti-racist, anti-orientalist, post-colonial, and subaltern studies lenses?
From a vidder's technical standpoint, what are the editorial and creative issues you need to take into consideration when vidding characters of color? What implication does music and song choice have? Is there a different approach when you're vidding a character not of your own cultural/ethnic background, and what guidelines or mental reminders have proven useful to you?
We have some ideas of vids that we'd like to show, but we are also looking for suggestions. Do you know of any vids that fit this theme? Also, are there any points that you want to make sure that we touch upon in the panel? All ideas welcome.

I think this is okay to post here, since you're all interested in meta about vidding. I'm a former (& maybe future?) vidder ("Lynn C", vidded as the L in JKL) who feels out of touch. I recently got invited to give a talk to computer science students at University of Illinois, and I wanted to talk about vidding, with a focus on tools and collaboration needs. I'll make the combined aggregate results available to all who want them, though.
Because I'm way out of touch, I've written up a rather comprehensive survey. If you take it before April 25, you'll be entered in a drawing for one of three $20 Amazon gift cards (all I can afford!). Also, I will post the aggregate results here (and in any community that lets me post the link and gets responses).
Topics covered, if you are interested:
Here's the link, please help: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q85QWJS
AMV vidders and non-TV vidders welcome, too - please educate me about the current trends, and I apologize for any biases in the questions that show I come from tv fandom.

- Software used and what you think of it;
- Communities you follow and any issues there;
- Collaboration with others and if/how you do it;
- What's the most fun and least fun during vidding (I sure have my own opinion here-!)

Vidding, the creative process
Mar. 9th, 2010 05:44 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
So, I'm a relative newcomer to vidding and have been vidding for approximately one year. In that time, I've gone through a lot of experimentation and hair-pulling, but feel like I've finally got a relatively good handle on the how-to's, at least technically speaking.
With each new vid, I end up going about the creative and editing aspects a bit differently, ( anyone wanna talk vidding? )

I've always been really interested in the difference between vids based on tv shows and movie vids. There's been a lot of good meta on this (I wish I could find it to link to but my delicious is failing me at the moment), but basically the gist of things seems to be just that the radically different amount of footage we have to work with from a tv show allows us to do more in a lot of cases (obviously).
So I've been wondering lately about slash vids and whether or not it's one sort of genre that is made more accessible with more footage. I mean I guess if the source is just right (Star Trek XI) then it doesn't matter but the likelyhood of specific dudez having scenes in which they touch or gaze at one another does seem more likely in a TV show with a lot more time to fill. ((I've actually never done a slash vid, which is funny because that's what I'm most interested in fic-wise, but I think I'm just really intimidated by the challenge of it)). ANYWAY, this is getting ramble-ish but the bottom line is that I was looking through my vid folders and couldn't find very many movie vids in my own collection that are slash or femmeslash and I was wondering if others had ones that came immediately to mind.
