The Life Cycle of Vid and Vidder is a tongue-in-cheek look at the vidmaking process. It was written by Luminosity in 2002 and has been the subject of much discussion at various Vividcons over the years.
- "Certain elements of the vidmaking process have been elucidated more than others. Inspiration, for example, has been much discussed, as has song choice. Editing to lyrics vs to the beat. Handling various technical issues. sockkpuppett's Life Cycle of Vid and Vidder encapsulates (hilariously) a lot of what I'm thinking about here." ~tishaturk, Vids and composing processes, February 5, 2009.
Life Cycle of a Vid and Vidder
- God, this show/character/situation needs a vid.
- What a great song!
- Yes, I'll need clips from X, Y and Z Where the FUCK is Z!!??
- God, I hate the time it takes to capture clips.
- Hey, that's a better idea than what I had earlier! But I'll need clips from A, B and C.
- You know, an exploding head would look really good right here. Wonder how to make that effect?
- I'm so tired of looking shit up. I'm not a techie!!
- I wonder what this key does.
- Hey, it's working! it's working!
- I suck. I'll never finish this. Nobody will like/understand/want to see it anyway, and there have been too many vids made about this, so.. so what.
- I suck. I can't figure out this part. I've storyboarded six different versions of this verse, and none of them look as good as they did in my head.
- I suck. I just saw a fantastic vid about this same subject, and since the definitive vid has already been done, I'll just close up Premiere and dump the project.
- What am I doing here in Premiere again? Why can't I just leave it alone?
- I suck.
- Look at that! Wow! This verse is really working--motion, timing, story. Where there's life there's hope. See how I made that explosion match the whine of the lead guitar? heh. I love this.
- I never want to hear this song again.
- Listen!! they're playing it on the radio!!
- Ok, I have to let it sit here for a few days to gel. I wonder if Ellen or Killa would look at it and ... be kind.
- That verse seemed a lot better three days ago.
- I suck. I want to go for the Big Emotion, and the only Big Emotion I can truly say I've created is... distaste.
- It's done! It's done!! Yay! I've finished something!
- God, I'm depressed. Post vid letdown. It's almost like giving birth.
- Gee whiz. There have been nearly 800 downloads. Why doesn't anyone tell me anything? I don't care. I don't care. I don't vid for feedback, as nice and wonderful as it is, but you'd think... after 800+ downloads.. wouldn't you?
- Wow! A detailed, critical, substantive LOC. And she *got* it! I'm not a total geek loser. If I write back everything that I want to, she'll put me on the psycho stalker list, though. I'll do it anyway. Take the risk and all.
- I'm going to give vidding a rest.
- God, this show/character/situation needs a vid.
