Some Excerpts

I started vidding in 2004 when I was obsessed with the show Farscape and stumbled across Farscape Fantasy, proceeded to watch all the fan vids there (even spoilers didn't phase me then), and decided that vidding was the best thing ever! It took me a while to figure out the technical logistics of making a vid but I managed to use Windows Movie Maker to make 4 vids that no one ever saw because I couldn't figure out how to get them online.

Fastforward a couple of years, past a half finished Harry Potter vid and I started watching Supernatural which rapidly also became the best thing ever! The show was just somehow extremely viddable for me, and armed with sufficiently more techincal knowledge, I started vidding again.

For those interested I now vid using Adobe Premiere CS4. Though I want to start using After Effects for fancy titles and effects since I do technically know how to use the program but I am lazy and it has been years since I have last used it and the prospect of remembering how to use it again daunts me.

I also tend to plan out my vids extensively. I have found that if I don't know where I am going I tend to get stuck. For those interested, I have uploaded the vid plan I used for Goodnight, demon slayer, although that it one of my more extensive plans. Usually, it's not quite so long or detailed.

I also have no clue what my next vid will be. Based on my list of vid ideas I have 43 vids that I have ideas for, 21 of which are Supernatural so I don't plan to stop vidding any time soon. Although if any one wants to offer an idea for a vid I am all ears.
