Vidding! <333

Hello vidders and vid-fans! How has your vidding year been so far?

Congratulations to the TWO vids set to 'Level Up' so far. extrapenguin & atamascolily both posted a vid to our challenge and in such amazingly different fandoms - it's really awesome to see how widely the song can be interpreted.

For those still working on theirs - how's it going?

I remain incredibly amused that we both used the exact same title which was not the title of the song.

Right?! Ha - that was amusing. I wonder if others are going to follow suit?

You might have to call the resulting vidshow "Level Up and Call Your Vid Begin Again", in that case! :P Though I suppose at least someone will turn up with a vid called, if not Level Up, then at least a quote of a different line of lyrics.

I spent a long time agonizing over this, because I knew you had also done it, but "Level Up" feels like a very modern expression, one that doesn't quite fit with the time period of the fandom I was referencing, whereas "Begin Again" not only did, it also reflected the core themes better.... I figured "you know, we're working from the same song, it's only natural there's going to be overlap in the titles as well".

...but yeah, it is hilarious, isn't it?

And meanwhile, I chose against Level Up because it fit the fandom a bit too well, video game and all! I wonder how many people will go with Level Up in the end, and how many will end up with a Begin Again vid.
