Vidding Chatter

[colls]

Hello vidders!!
Welcome to the monthly(-ish) chatter post.


How're your vids going? --- the ones you can talk about at least, for anyone else participating in exchanges.


What was your vidding gateway?
Either the first vid you made or the first vid you saw that made you think "I want to do that".


P.S. Feel free to talk about other vidding things (or non-vidding things), make suggestions for future monthly discussion posts, etc.

My gateway vid (the one that made me want to vid more than anything else) was GayleF's "Data's Dream'. A decade later I got a chance to help her remaster the vid so we could put it online.

That's a fantastic gateway-to-vidding journey and sounds like it was such a great project to work on.

That's such a great story! *goes to watch*

Darn, I can't find it. It's years since I've seen it, and I really wanted to watch it again after your excellent spruiking. Now I'm sad.

links on the Fanlore page:

" To view a streaming version of the vid, please register an account on AO3 and go here; to obtain a download version of the vid, please contact Morgan Dawn here."

Thanks so much for this. Unfortunately, I'm so burnt out on marking that I can't read the page enough to find the link. Another time.

Thank you. I'd forgotten what a feat of vidding that was. So many sources! Beautifully done.
