Conclusions, Thoughts, and Such

So, I've posted nine vids since last year's Vividcon. That feels like a smaller number than it should be, but it's not counting the two vids that I've completed but haven't posted yet due to concerns of relevance and it's also not counting my premiere vids for 2007 (or my innumerable works in progress... well, I say innumerable, I mean 13). Because I've only posted nine vids, but I've been playing around with Premiere a lot. Discovering new things, messing around with audio and different types of music and mostly just having a ball figuring stuff out.

I found out what key frames were at my last Vividcon and have been enjoying using those. I've been working out new-to-me ways to use color and cropping and opacity levels. All in all, I feel like I'm learning a lot. I still have a lot that I feel like I can learn, which is good, I think.

The only thing that feels better than posting a vid is *creating a vid*-- at least to me. Learning new stuff every day and knowing that I'll never learn all of it.

sigh. yeah.

Yeah, exactly. The act of creation and the process of deciding and fine-tuning (and sometimes throwing whole sections out and starting anew) is incredible. I really, really love it.

The more I learn, the more I can do. Then comes *synthesis*!!!

I don't think I've ever told you how much I loved Be Like Water. Fandom knowledge = 0, but that didn't stop the vid from becoming one of my favourites on the DVD where I saw it. Must have been... *squeezes brain* Escapade? Or was it Bascon? Either way, fab, fab vid. I loved it so much.

Aw, thank you! That is really spectacular to hear.

That's a respectable vid output, don't worry. I'm sorry I haven't seen a bunch of them (love the PB one!) as a lot of new vids get lost in my vid folders but thankfully now I can check them out. Along with the DW ones as soon I'm all caught up. It's great that you're learning things! That should definitely help with future vids.

Thanks!

And, yeah, I'm in a continual process of 'huh, wonder what that effect does... oh, that's interesting. I wonder if I can use that.' And there are so many ways to combine effects and transitions and to make everything cleaner and shinier. So much fun. I just discovered a better way to desaturate than plain old 'desaturation' (which always made things look not quite the way I wanted), so I'm thrilled about that.
