And a tip for twincest fans (or haters alike):

Video "Climbing up the walls" - Nathan/Peter (Heroes), Sam/Dean (SPN), Simon/River (Firefly)

Brilliant, dark, intense - and hot IMVHO *G*

After quite a long break (more than two weeks, but it feels longer) I opened my vid project again, ignoring all superspecialeffectsideas I had and going back to the basics. And lo and behold, I have inspiration!

Ah, the KIRK LUV!

(Note to self: Need Serious!Kirk icon, preferably from TMP, the movie that climbs ranks the more I watch it. And I watched it a lot by now.)

Woah.

Everything a girl needs to know about de-interlacing: http://www.100fps.com/

(Not that I've solved my problem yet, but I'm getting closer :)

Just went I went through one of my "oh god this vid is crap and won't move anyone and I don't really know how to make cool effects and I should stop to humiliate myself over doing vids" moments...

...I generated a draft and I think this is going to be a great vid and will exactly show what I wanted to show *hearts it*

Amusing posting - The Life Cycle of Vid and Vidder - and so true....

Ulead COOL3D doesn't seem to do anything I need / wanted / hoped for, so I deinstalled the 30 day trial version.

Instead, reading around in the memory section of vidding again, as I'm getting more and more involved into the finer details. And you know you got a problem if this leads to 25 open tabs with articles in Firefox. Uuups.

EDIT: The problem expands, once you get to narrative vs. lyrical, the construction of reality and gestalt discussion.

EDIT 2: Fitting quotation in a posting *G*
Jessica: This is the most expensive hobby with diminishing returns, except for drugs.
Christy: Well, with drugs, all you get is pain and grief and sometimes an Emmy. With vidding, you get a brand spanking new piece of art that has the potential to get you sued!

EDIT 3: I found out how to export video clips as ulead image series (.uis), edit the images in GIMP and import the series again (either as .uis or rendered to avi). Squee!

The vidding project that ate my life and brain lately is officially done.

Song: "Advertising Space" by Robbie Williams (from "Intensive Care") -> Lyrics

Fandom: X-Files

Character: The Cigarette-Smoking Man, with a fair amount of Krycek, Jeffrey Spender and the Mulders around.

Spoilers: All through seasons 1-7 and 9

Dedication: Thanks a lot to my husband, who was extremely supportive and interested in this vid. But of course, he had to as he's to blame for my whole X-Files interest :)

Remark: It's intentional that there's no text in the vid - X-Files was the first (only?) series that didn't display the episode titles when broadcasting the episodes :) Made me wonder quite a while if I was so blind or my DVDs wrecked up.

Things improved in comparison to older projects: I used freshly ripped, uncompressed DVD source, and a WAV directly generated from CD. Also made a long episode list with marks for important characters and events.

New problem: Getting the large output into a computer-suited, downloadable format. Tried my utmost to get the Multipass function of DivX6.4 to work, but ended always without video output...? (If anyone knows a solution, please tell me!)

Cool White Rabbit Trek crack vid by starcrossinggirl - watch and join the drug haze, lol :)))

Not able to escape a deadly vid bunny, I felt compelled to make a
Chapel vid to the Bangles song "Eternal Flame" *shakes head about
myself*

Download it as usual at http://www.syredronning.de/art.html

Since there's few Chapel around and I needed to stop editing before my
husband and I got sick of the song, the vid is not top notch, but I
hope S/Ch fans will enjoy it anyway :)

Title: Burn in Hell
Movie: "Event Horizon" (imdb movie info)
Music: "Burn in Hell" by Twisted Sister
Length: 4:49

WARNING: It's a scifi/horror movie set to a heavy metal song, and the result is definitely adult. Don't watch if you can't stand violence and lots of blood.

Download: Zipped 13 MB wmv file or 80 MB DivX Avi (this one makes really fun to watch)

Motivation: Was actually about to vid something else, which got on my nerves, so I thought I'd take a little (harhar) break from it. Found lots of 80's songs on youtube and tumbled over Twisted Sister songs. Once I heard "Burn in Hell" again, I just HAD to vid "Event Horizon" to it, one of my favorite B-movies.

After much ado I feel it's time to release it - not that it's perfect, but it's clearly crossing the point now where I can only change it to the different, not to the better. So, with a very big thank-you to Elizabeth Helena for episode recs and to _happyme_ for a fb to my original beta...

DS9 - Sunday, Bloody Sunday by U2 (in two resolutions/sizes)

Enjoy :))
