vid_bingoHello 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.

Date: 2019-03-16 12:02 am (UTC)Hmmm... I usually start off with a plan for a theme in the bridges/instrumentals and then end up with something completely different. Generally I try to follow the flow of the song? So for example, I did Bohemian Rhapsody at one point and that has SO MANY instrumentals, and each one evoked different feelings so I went with them, like the guitar was Lex and Lionel fencing, and then the big dramatic finish was Lex and Lionel arguing and then Lex considering if he'd let Lionel die or not. But that kind of song is easier (for me) because they're not very repetitive. For songs with a lot of repetition I try to create a theme, but sometimes I just go where the vid narrative is taking me. And sometimes I just fill it in? Hee. Which is the case for All Star, where I vidded the parts with lyrics and then used the instrumental to narratively bridge the different sections. And then there's Bad to the Bone, where I just cut off a lot of the instrumentals (that song is SO LONG).
Sorry this was so convoluted!

Date: 2019-05-16 12:51 pm (UTC)I like the idea of using the instrumentals to cover different aspects of a character or different feelings/aspects of a relationship. I've been pretty literal in my thinking about bridges (using them to cover parts of the narrative.) And it's interesting to think about ways to get outside this box.
Oh! And I see that you did a Killmonger vid. Very excited to watch that. I tried, but the song was tough and my will to finish it wasn't strong enough. :P
