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.

I've been meaning to reply to these comments and am finally doing so...six weeks later! Better late than never?

I really like this idea of using the bridge as a counterpoint. Fast vs slow, adding in spoken lines. (I know that dialogue in vids generates strong feelings, but I don't mind it, esp. if the vid is set to a source few people are familiar with.) To date, I've used bridges literally - they're a way to get the viewer from one part of the story to the next. It's interesting to think how they might serve less literal, more thematic purposes.
