December - Silent Night, Broken Night - Harry Potter, Harry, Hermione & Ron (vidlet)
- Sleigh Ride - Firefly - Ensemble (vidlet)
In terms of productivity that's thirteen (unlucky for some) and even the vidlets are over 2 minutes each. I'm pleased with that. It's the most since I started meme-ing her at LJ.
Favourite Vid
Oh I always struggle with this one. So Elizabeth for my choice of music and for actually having a go at making the vid. A real personal favourite but perhaps not with anyone else. I also love how Signal To Noise turned out after it's remake. I started again from scratch and changed whole sections. I still wonder how I managed with WMM when I first made it.
Least Favourite
Fireflies I suppose - I don't hate the vid but it felt the most 'forced. I didn't come up with the song/vid idea personally. This was a 'surprise'birthday vid gift for my daughter, much time spent second guessing what she expected to see and why she always saw this song vidded to that film (and would constantly remind me that I needed to do it)In the end it was for the very literal 'firefly' scenes which whilst very pretty, wasn't much to hang a whole vid on. I was pleased with the final closing sequence and Ellie loved it so not a failure in that sense.
Most Successful
Based on LJ comments/ recs and YT thumbs up it was Spitfire - Zoe from Firefly. I feel that this is mainly due to the popularity of the character and that there's not that many videos around for her. Despite the mind numbing music choice even! Good way to start the vidding year.
Most Under appreciated, IMO.
I always feel churlish when picking one out. 'Elizabeth' I understand to be a very acquired taste so I wasn't expecting much response to that. 'Sing' made barely a ripple but episodic vids are tricky and perhaps this didn't hit the mark - relationship vids tend to garner more interest and as I wasn't trying to focus on one in particular, that may account for the lack of comments.
Most Fun to make
Dragula - Rob Zombie, vampires, action scenes in sexy leather and latex. What's not to love. I don't usually make challenge vid but when Driver Picks the Music posted the Halloween song round I had the urge to make the underworld vid I'd been promising myself a while. Didn't have to make sense I just loved playing with the motion. Also a mention for 'Sleigh Ride' tiny seasonal Firefly vidlet with a very limited amount of source. A two day
Biggest Vid fail.
Really? Not making more relationship vids. My Dollhouse vid bunny is still in it's hutch. Perhaps the biggest sin is using The Prodigy for Zoe. My ears still bleed. Then again perhaps the biggest fail is not being able to spot them.
Hardest to Make
History Repeating had a couple of tech issues. A series renowned for sparkling wit and dialogue with less and less sight gags as it progressed. Stop talking for just a few seconds please! And possibly the worst quality DVD source I've had the misfortune to vid. Far grainier and murky than even early BtVS which gave me grief in 'Be With Me' gah! As none of the vids were too deep this year I wasn't troubled with narrative issues.
Kick Ass/Sexiest
There's many a moment in Dragula that fits the bill.From 0.36secs to 0.41secs always raises a stupid grin from me. Plus the whole 'Do it baby, Do it Baby, burn like an animal'. Yeah. Dragula.
Unintentionally telling video.
Not one single vid but looking at the collection as a whole. Four kick Ass females in 'Spitfire', 'Elizabeth', 'Extraterrestrial' and 'Dragula'. That's telling right?
Things I've learnt this year
Pretty much a a repeat from previous years. Please yourself. Always. Pick the fandom and the music you love and don't worry about whether the vid will be popular. This is supposed to be fun.
Things to work on
I was given Sony Vegas for Christmas so when time permits I'll be playing with it and see what happens. I'd like to tackle new styles of music. Sure I'm pretty varied at the moment, but there are whole genre's of music that I haven't worked with that deserve some effort. It may not work out but I should give it a go. I also want to tackle some old source (films ideally)
Vid Projects that I want to finish
Looking back I was pleased that I at least managed to remaster 'Signal To Noise' as threatened. Plus there were those two relationship vids. Dollhouse still remains high on the list along with perhaps more comedy vids(it's been fairly chuckle free this year) and I would love to make a Buffy (the character) study and the same for Angel (the character) separate vids though - let's not get those kids get together it'll all end in tears. Or we could and that could be one of the ship vids. Oh and I have a seasonal vid that's quite long on the time line now - that needs completing.
Thoughts anyone??
