Vidding Chatter

[colls]

Hello vidders!!
Welcome to the monthly(-ish) chatter post. Feel free to talk about any vidding topic at all, it doesn't need to be related to your bingo card - although it can be!

How are your current projects going?
Are you nominating any fandoms for festivids? Which ones?

My current project is going okay. I was not supposed to be spending so long on it, because I want to start planning out my festivids options. Also I'm realising I have extremely mixed feelings about this character, but maybe that helps keep the vid interesting.

my festivids noms:

S.W.A.T. (2017)
Medici: Masters of Florence
Medici: The Magnificent
Lost in Space (2018)
And a bunch of kinds of rpf only I care about

I was not supposed to be spending so long on it...
My last non-exchange vid took nearly 2 years, so I can sympathize. :/


Lost in Space has been in my Netflix queue forever. It's in space, how can I not want to watch it?
Are the Medici noms the shows that are also on Netflix?

[dirty_diana]

Spaaaaaace. Definitely a ton of fun space stuff on LiS and you should check it out and fall down the lady Robinsons stan hole with me.

Yes, Medici on Netflix. I nominated the two parts separately for reasons, but I recommend them both if you enjoy cute Brits or cute Italians or Tuscan scenery or dramatic Renaissance plotting.

[colls]

Perfect timing. I just finished up re-watching Star Trek Voyager and have a space (pun intended) to watch something before the new seasons of Mandalorian and The Expanse come out.

An who doesn't enjoy cute Brits? ;)

I'm trying to decide which bingo square I want to tackle next. On one hand, I'd like to do another Rebels vid now that I have the source clipped. On the other hand, Star Trek Enterprise is calling me for the romance square but I don't know if I'm keen to clip another 4-season show at the moment. I have vague Rogue One ideas, too.


My festivids noms are:
Star Trek: Enterprise*
Roar
Space: Above and Beyond
The Unicorn Store (2019)
Mortal Engines (2018)
Juanita (2019)
Always Be My Maybe (2019)


*I'm pretty sure this will qualify because I haven't seen but a couple vids in the past 10 years *crossing fingers*

[dirty_diana]

I support you making more Rebels stuff! Or, you know, whatever you want to do. I hope you get your Star Trek in. I am waiting next year for the trap where it's impossible to tell a vid's premiere date on YouTube to be less relevant, since so many are labeled 2009.

[colls]

Rebels! ♥

For me it's mostly a case of so many vids, so little attention span. (LOL)

Interesting. Was 2009 a banner year for YouTube and fanvids? I don't remember.

[dirty_diana]

I am having that focusing problem right now and I'm not used to it.

Interesting. Was 2009 a banner year for YouTube and fanvids? 

I'm in a specific fandom for which the answer is yes. :)

[colls]

Og god, now I have to know.

Trek AOS?

[dirty_diana]

Ha, good guess but no. It's Fast & Furious. We all thought canon was dead between 2006-2009, so suddenly there's new stuff but also a bunch of reuploads that weren't redated.

[colls]

Oh!
Really liked the movies, didn't dive into fandom though. But fun!!

[dirty_diana]

The fandom is great, they've made some cool stuff. Also after I posted this comment I poked around YT some more and found a bunch of Dom/Letty vids I'd never seen before, so they've probably still made too much stuff for festivids, but that is a good thing.

[aurumcalendula]

This reminds me I really need to watch Rebels!

[colls]

I really like Rebels, so I'm a bit biased... but YES!!!! ♥
Sabine!
Ahsoka!
Hera!

I'm pretty sure Sabine is a bonafide space lesbian, if that helps encourage you at all.

[aurumcalendula]

One of my current projects is going well! (the others are stalled because I'm waiting on more footage for one and and I need a song for the other)

My noms include:

Batwoman*
The Covert Captain by Jeannelle M Ferreira
The Expanse
I Can't Think Straight
Killjoys
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Prey (Video Game 2017)
Saving Face
Strange Empire
Stumptown (TV)

One fandom I didn't nominate this year (ran out of slots), but definitely will next year is The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco


*[I'm pretty sure it will qualify since only two episodes have aired]

[dirty_diana]

Yay Killjoys and The Expanse!

[aurumcalendula]

They're two of my favorite shows at the moment!

[colls]

Thank you for nominating The Expanse. I put Strange Empire on my list because Cara Gee (Drummer) is in it, but haven't watched it yet. I've heard good things about Stumptown and Batwoman both, I'm waiting for a season to drop/be available. :)

It's shaping up to look like an exciting festivids this year. I was drawing a blank earlier because the fandoms I'm in are too large for it (*cough Star Wars) but it's exciting to see so much interesting stuff coming out. :)

[aurumcalendula]

No problem! :) I was kinda surprised The Expanse is still eligable, tbh. I spent a decent chunk of season 2 going 'where do I know her from' before I remembered Strange Empire. (I'm sad it didn't get a second season - I heard it was because an issue with the network, not lack of ratings)

I'm excited about the existence of Stumptown and Batwoman (I hadn’t expected either to be turned into a tv show) - I like what I’ve seen of both so far!

It really is!

[maristu]

I'm finally finishing my fanworks auction vid, yay! I'm so excited to start working on my bingo vids!

I'm not doing festivids this year. I need to just not have a deadline for a bit. But I'll be on the lookout for pinch hits because I hate it when people don't get their gift :)

[colls]

Congrats on finishing the auction vid!

I can sympathize about the deadlines, sometimes they help me finish a project, sometimes they can be stressful.

[smilebackwards]

I'm enjoying my new project a lot. The music is messing me up though. I want to cut the song down but trying to splice things in a way that isn't jarring is proving difficult.

Just got my Yuletide nominations approved. I'm going to have to look into festivids.

[colls]

Oy! Editing music is so tricky!! I've only ever faded out early or faded in late, I've not spliced something out of the middle (I toyed with it once upon a time, but gave up).
I do know that some vidders have done it successfully. I just don't know their magic.

Hope you're able to wrangle it
