Vidder Notes: So, hello once again slayerverse , it's been a year since I last made a vid from these two fandoms. And as I started, it all came back to me, mixed aspect ratios, horrible quality source for S1-3 and some interlacing issues that defied attempts at blending or whatever. The ripping alone was epic - the result probably not so much.  And if that wasn't enough the song was loooonnng and I tried to cut it down without destroying it totally.

Way back in my early vidding years I made a pretty literal and scrappy Faith vid on WMV with *shudders* some effects that are best forgotten. I always wanted to make something dark and disturbed that really showed Faith at her most destructive. In the end I pulled short at the redemptive arc and chose to close with that alley fight.

ETA: This is dedicated to whiskyinmind   My co-conspirator at AvA, Faith fan and a great friend.

So I guess if I had waited a while I'd have been able to have submitted those valetines day icons for this challenge but they were already posted so look! I made some more.

Hope all of you who celebrate enjoy your holiday.

I love the episode 'Pangs' even though I don't celebrate Thanksgiving. One highlight of my entire convention going experiences was listening to Jane Espenson give a live commentary of Pangs back in 2004 at the James & David Halloween Con in London. Afterwards I then had a brief chat with her about ricers etc when she signed a copy of the script for me. Sorry I couldn't think of anything deep or meaningful to ask her, but I remember managing to tell her how much I love her work.   The episode has some of my favourite quotes in the entire slayerverse, a snarky and insightful Spike, broody mopy Angel and Buffy kicking butt. Plus 'A bear!'  Jane is still one of my favourite writers ever,   I love catching her work on TV these days. 

Anyhow way back in 2008 I made a Pangs vidlet  - just a silly bit of fun. I inflict it upon now.  Have a great yam sham.

Title: Those Were The Days
Song: 'Those Were The Days' performed by Mary Hopkins
Length : 3.22mins
Notes : Just me having a bit of fun. An idea which I blame on Angel's comment about not being cheap and my being old enough to remember this song. Definitely a case of Angel using sepia tinted glasses to remember the past. There are lyrics somewhere I just haven't had time to sort them out yet.  Hope you enjoy!

I've not been sitting on my hands honest!  

So a couple of more things I wanted to achieve are finished and / or well underway.  Yay go me \o/

Firstly - The Best of the Best Round (the return) is now open at the Art of Vidding Awards.   We've some wildcard entries too. Please feel free to check out the list of incredibly awesome vids and pick up a code to pimp it.   Next job is to put together the polls for the ' Viewers Choice' voting.

 

If I've not uploaded your links correctly, or you have questions etc contact me.  I'll give everyone notice when polls open.  If we get the level of votes that we had in the first BOTB then I shall be truly pleased.  After this things will change (for the better IMO) over at Art of Vidding Awards.

Secondly,  it's been a little while since I posted some new art. This was for the winter_of_angel  comm - my day for posting  today.  Yes, another sketch of my 'dear boy'. What can I say, he's pretty.    Click the thumbnail.    I have a Dollhouse/Dr Horrible convention in April - not so far away - I guess I'll be starting on some group montage for those very soon.



What I still have to do is watch some vids from my flist - leviathan101   I think after next weeks Bones here in Blighty  I'll be able to watch your latest - I'm really looking forward to it!   Also frivolity65  you posted some too.  I will get there.    I also need to go back to the vid I was a 3rd of a way through - hoping  I can find the flow and get stuck in quickly. I have some other ideas that I'd like to start, but I hate half finished projects.

Description:  Episodic of 'The House Always Wins'   - This was the first ever vid I made back in August '04 - hence the blindingly obvious song choice and some very literal lyric/clip matches.  But I loved the song and the episode, so I promised myself that I would look at it again and tweak it a bit.
