[X-posted to vidding]

The Vividcon Premieres show is over, alas, but on the other hand: that means I can post my vid. Yay!

Fandom: Labyrinth
Music: "Blue Jean" by David Bowie
Format: .avi with the DivX codec
Size: 14.4 Mb
Description: You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: galumping great thanks to elynross, halimede and both halves of flummery for beta-ing and to sockkpuppett for teaching me how to mess with motion settings and track mattes at the very last minute. You all rock.

Should you have any trouble playing the vid, I have outlined some solutions on my vids page.

I would love to know what you think, and that includes critical feedback, here or at marycrawford@squidge.org .

I'll probably do a post about the making of this vid later, once I have recovered from Saturday's fantastic family wedding.

Hey, thanks very much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

I commented elsewhere that this vid is like a present to my fourteen-year-old self, who saw the movie in the theatre and was bowled over by it. *g*

That reminds me

I've been meaning to ask you: at some point when we both have time (meaning after I'm done with this friggin' exam), would you be willing to talk shop about vidding with me, either in e-mail or in chat? I've been wanting to have a try at it for some time, in an idle sort of way, but now I have an actual idea, with clips mentally matched to music and everything, so I'd really like to learn.

Absolutely. I don't claim to be an expert, but I should be able to point you in the right direction, at least. Plus, shoptalk is fun, and I want to see your vid. :-)

Mail me at mcvices at gmail dot com, or I'm rearsandvices on AIM.

And good luck with the exam.

Cool, thanks! Expect to hear from me in late September. :-)
