Shiny, shiny vid meme

[marycrawford]

If you haven't wandered over to the Great Vidding Truth Meme over at sdwolfpup's yet, it's definitely worth seeing and participating.

This is one long thread where you can leave anonymous feedback on the vids of any vidder who signed up. Criticism, squeeing, "I liked your vid but I don't understand X" ing, it's all good. If you want to tell me something about my vids, but you'd rather do it anonymously, go for it! And please don't be afraid to criticize. I really want to know.

I love seeing this meme grow and grow, and I've found several vids that I had lost track of, by vidders that aren't so well known. Here's a quick rec for gayalondiel's SG-1 vid to "Men In Black", which is a lot of fun and has some really excellent clip choices.

Eee! Thank you very very much - I hardly expected feedback from the Escapade vidshow so soon, and YAY! Am grinning like a loon here.

And yeah, I do remember how you reviewed LTID and I your Jack Sparrow vid, and talking about how different our vidding approaches are. I don't quite know what my style is yet, but I do know that I was pretty happy with the Hero vid. So I just hope I can do it again. *g*

*gloms you* Thank you again, for the encouragement and the kind words!

=) I was a co-mod for the vid review panel and got to see the show ahead of time.

Your vid got a big laugh out of a very many people in the room and was very appreciated. I got the general sense that people were surprised that Holding Out For A Hero could be done *again* and yet reinvented so *well*.

My sense of your style at this moment (I'm still wondering about this because the differences between our styles facinate me) is that it's one based on squeeful poetry. It reminds me of a more exuberant style of heres_luck's work, which is heavily like poetry, and yet your style is more...free verse, than her's. Or that's the general impression that I get.

I love your sense of movement and mood, which I see in your current vid as having carried over from LTID. In a way, I don't think you can lose that, and I don't think you would lose your awesome sense of whimsy and joy that pervades your vids. I'm not exactly sure as what was different from LTID and HOFAH, but there definately is one. I am sorta glad at this point that I gave the review that I did, because any advice I could have given at that point would have lead to changing style, and I *liked* your style and didn't want to accidentally imprint my style on yours.

Anyhoo, your vid brings me glee and joy and fond memories of the show. =) So I thank *you* for making this vid!

I am sort of glad at not having been in the room, because I'd have been a nervous wreck - but at the same time, it would have been wonderful to hear people's reactions. Lovely to get reports from those who were there. :-)

Thanks so much for your comments! I think you're right that this vid has the same sort of feel as LTID, probably more so than the two other vids I've done, and I love the description of 'squeeful poetry'. Hee. I really find it hard to pinpoint what my style is - I think it's one of those things you can't know if you're doing it, really - but I love to hear your thoughts about my vids. *beams*

think it's one of those things you can't know if you're doing it, really

::nods:: I only sorta know what mine is via other people talking about it too. They tell me it's flowy and dance-like, which I 'get' on a mental level, but it's never something I really think about when making the vid, 'cause it's more on the level of the instinctual, no? Is it like that for you too?
