I've been in love with this video since last fall and under the cut I'll type at length why.

( Process and early drafts... )

Current Mood: enthralled

I finished my first treat, Vintage Clothes, a few days early so I had a few days to futz around with it before the initial deadline. The plan was to submit that vid then start work on my Escapade vid, which would be due in about two weeks. But then! Escapade extended the deadline by a week which meant I had time to cut one more treat!

Last year was my first Festivids and it was a great experience for me. One of my recipients was such a joy to create for in that they wrote a great prompt, I had tremendous fun editing their vid, they seemed happy with the vid and left quick and enthusiastic feedback. Yes! I wanted another hit of that!

This year there were nearly 10 prompts that appealed to me, which was great because my fannish interests tend to be niche. Of them, Black Girl in a Big Dress, sounded amazing. It's a cute YouTube series about a Black girl who loves historical dress but lives in the present day - with all the travails of work, love, and saving the estate.

I love, love, love this vid! It was created for the Fandomtrees exchange and the prompt was music recs for various genre's including ska. Oh, someone in the world wants to talk ska music, you say?

FanWorks Convention 2020 Premiere

The story of the film is about relationships between a family of mothers and daughters. Also, they all have elemental superpowers and the government wants to find them and do experiments, for the good of all mankind. Black lady leads and a climate change bleak future setting were pretty much all I needed to whet my appetite.

As a bonus, one of the characters is a former young punk - well, fuck, I couldn't back away from vidding about a Black girl listening to X-Ray Spex to X-Ray Spex! I was sold on "The Day The World Turned Day-Glo" pretty early in the project, but waffled for a day or so if I should switch it out to "Identity". Neither song is a good lyrical match but in the end, I wanted the sax solos and the word "day-glo". I was able to create lyrical matches in my head as I cut the thing which made the process easier.

Desna and her girls (and the Dixie Mafia…. and the Russians.)

CON.TXT 2020 Premiere
Notes: Quick cuts, blood, violence
Music: Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
YouTube | AO3 | DW

Creator Notes: I started watching Claws years ago as a summer lark. I was initially impressed by the real life diversity of the cast, not the usual 'stick a brown best friend in and call it a day' but a reflection of the real world and real people that I live with. Well, not the drug running, money laundering, mafia parts, I don't know anything about that, but the rest was all familiar. And as it happened, the show was good! It's streaming on Hulu in the USA so if you want something fun for a bit of an escape, I highly recommend it.

This vid started out as a dance show video. The whole idea is based on the line "This shit is bananas". Yes, there are some other great story lines in the show, particularly Desna and her autistic brother, Dean and Quiet Ann's courting her policewoman love, but the show is such a technicolor Florida swamp mess that BANANAS is the only way to describe it.

The first hurdle was this: Hollaback Girl is a banger, but it's very repetitious. The lyrics aren't all that inspired and musically, it's a one-hook wonder. Editing the music turned out to be as much fun as cutting the vid. I went through a few versions of including lyrics before deciding to just go with the parts of the song everyone knows. This made for a shorter vid. The title screen is a bit wonky; with a bit more time I probably could have come up with a different solution, but in the end I embraced the bananas theme and left it as is, and on the whole, love this crazy little vid!

Current Mood: happy

Notes: Premiered in Discovered in Thirty Days and Thirty Nights

Creator Notes: Pros!!! So, this year I fell in love with a very old fandom and had been itching to vid it! The show is super slashy and the lead actors super hot but what I love most is the action so that's what ended up on screen. Unfortunately, I had a serious DaVinci Resolve meltdown mid edit and was working toward a deadline. There are quite a few edits I'd love to make on this but, honestly, I want to re-edit everything I make so this is no surprise.

The song is a banger; I have a strong affinity for beat-heavy songs for vidding. Old canon with modern music worked well here and the idea came out of some aborted Vexercises I did earlier this year.

Title: An American Primer

Footage: Found archival footage

Music: Snowden's Jig (Genuine Negro Jig) (Traditional), performed by the Carolina Chocolate Drops

Length: 3:46

Character: James Baldwin

Summary: James Baldwin on being Black in America.

Content Notes: For seinmit - Festivids 2019

Creator Notes: So, I switched from Premiere to Da Vinci Resolve and updated my GPU last winter. After clearing out some IRL work, was interested in taking my new setup out for fanvid making. I poked around and found a fan exchange then spent days searching for anything with which I was remotely familiar. I eventually finally found a series of prompts that were well within my scope.

Much like, Wolf at the Door, this is a video that I ultimately created for myself. My motivation being, the world and fandom is different for Black folk and I relished the opportunity to play with that theme. And I got to vid so many beautiful faces.

Title: What a Shame

Footage: Person of Interest s1-s5

Music: What a Shame by Shinedown

Length: 4:20

Character: John Reese

Summary: John Reese is a talented killer - and saver of lives.

Content Notes: TV level violence. Created for MnemonicMadness, during Exchange of Interest 2018

Creator Notes: MnemonicMadness provided the song and subject - and it just so happened both of the prompts fell well within my wheelhouse. Reese is a beautiful subject to vid!

From the creation side of things, this is the fastest cut I've ever assembled. Exchange deadlines plus May/June is one of my busiest seasons IRL. I have a STRONG desire to do one more pass on this because there are a few shots that aren't exactly perfect and the color grading is all over the place. I'd also love to tweak the pacing more. The song has a strong beat and I don't think I took full advantage of that. But, I know me and vidding, and I could easily spend the next month tweaking this -and I don't have a month so.

Overall, I'm happy with the end product. I think the song fits the character very well and there are a few edits that I absolutely love: Joan, the Kara kill, black hood Mark to black hood John, young John to smiling John.
