I'm offering a vid over at help_haiti. My thread is here. Bidding ends Wednesday, January 20th at noon.

Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Battlestar: Galactica, Being Human, Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Criminal Minds, Dead Like Me, Dexter, Doctor Who, Due South, Firefly, Glee, Harry Potter, House, Life on Mars (UK), Merlin, Middleman, Power Play, Pushing Daisies, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Torchwood, Wonderfalls. Movies are also doable, as long as you can provide source. If there are any other fandoms you're interested in, I'd be happy to discuss it. Email me or send me a LJ message.

Additional Info: We can set this up however you're most comfortable -- you can have as much or as little input as you'd like. If you have a song and specific clips in mind, we can do that. If you have a vague idea that there should be another vid in a given fandom, that also works. As a note, if you're requesting a vid in a new-to-me source greater than movie length (more than one season), we might have to postpone the delivery date.

Starting bid: $1

I have never actually done one of these, for reasons that should quickly* become obvious. I did do some rambly-rambling at the end of last year, the main conclusions of which was that I should stop being afraid of Real Vidders. February will mark three years since I posted my first vid.

Vids made in 2009:

January
Unsteady Ground - Merlin

June
Convenient Parking - Dexter/Criminal Minds
Dark Room - Merlin

August
Attention: Gotham City - Batman: The Dark Knight

* I am a punny girl! Once again, my vidding output for the year can be watched in less than ten minutes. This is an improvement, as last year's total was three vids and less than eight minutes.

There is a vidding love meme.

There is also a thread that belongs to me!


Hi guys! This is the kind of day/week/month it has been: this evening, I left campus and took the bus all the way home before realizing that I drove this morning.

I have not accumulated any amount of frazzledness, no. People keep trying to cheer me up by reminding me there are only two days left in the term. What they don't realize it that is the precise reason I am said frazzled mess who accidentally leaves her car on the other side of the city. I suppose there is some comfort in the idea that either way it will be over soon.

I have committed video commentary! If you meander on over here, you will find my thoughts on Attention: Gotham City. It is maybe not so much of a proper commentary as a picspam with a bunch of questions stuck onto it, me trying to convince myself I was deeper than I meant to be, and a couple of moments of '... well, I sure did makes the most out of that 1:25.'

zephyrprince's thoughts are here with an interesting focus on media theory and a most excellent nonlinear, clustered, interpretation.

The second round of vid_commentary is this month. As is fitting for a sophomore outing, it is a dual challenge: combined vidder and viewer commentary. Or, as with any freshman, it has the possibility to make it to the second year. Vidder commentary sign up is first, with a second round for viewers to pair up. If arranged ahead of time, it can also be done in pairs.

I've never done a commentary, on a vid or a fic. As such, witness my mad skillz of googling for 'poll'! If my said skillz are mad enough, the following should be an embedded poll indicating the vids I am up for commenting on. This poll is just, of course, to find out what people may have an interest in seeing.

Alas, my skillz are not mad. Am attempting to improve them.

Second attempt at improvement has generated a poll, however, it appears that people may only be able to cast one vote at a time. This is contrary to the purpose of ticky-boxes.



You may note that it is all three (+) years of my vids, save for "What We Had" [Doctor Who]. This omission is because hollywoodgrrl did an amazing commentary on it for the first round, and my stance is now "What she said."

Of course, if anyone has any interest in doing a partner commentary on any of these, they have but to speak.

I was still holding out some hope that my inability to view embedded streaming video from iMeem was a glitch.

However, via dreamrequiem

"This week, we’re making some changes to imeem’s video embed and video upload policies. Starting today, only videos from official artist profiles and the imeem jukebox can be embedded and played beyond imeem. This means you’re no longer able to take videos that you or other users have uploaded and embed them for playback on widgets outside imeem.com. We have also limited the length of video uploads to eight minutes each."

This is exceedingly unfortunate. Does anyone have a different service that they use? Preferably with a higher-quality image than YouTube, and one not prone to pulling vids/deleting accounts.
