So after the Great Vidding Truth Meme (leave an anonymous comment on my vids there if you like), the Video commentary meme was restored and to my great pleasure, a bunch of great vidders offered to do commentary on recent videos they've made. The links for reference:

At least those are the ones I've seen. It's just so interesting to see why vidders made the choices they made in making different videos and the processes they took to get the final product. It helps me a lot in knowing what to look for in creating my own vid regarding clip choices and narrative, movement, tech effects and other vid related things. I've become increasingly aware of motions in vids now and I keep spotting all these things in vids I'm watching that I've never seen before. It's really cool and definitely something I want to work on. I first remember seeing it movement easily in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) sockkpuppett's vid, "Prophecy" when Wesley walks around and turns right into Angel in a completely different clip and I've been able to see that previously (this was awhile back). But now I see different character all turning their heads a certain way or moving in the same direction and other cool things like that.
In that vein, I'm going to recommend a few videos I'm really enjoying right now where I'm seeing all kinds of movement. First some "old" videos, with a rec for imation's vid Black Suits Comin' which uses Angel source. It's a really fun video and the shot of LA with all the movement and cutting, sucks me in every time. Not to mention the intercut fighting scenes that flow into each other, explosions and people bursting out of doors and windows on the big beat (terminology?). Another Buffy video I'm loving is dualbunny's Volcano Girls (at the bottom of the page) which is a Buffy vid which sucks you in with the action and the fun with intercutting, flowing movement and actions on the beats. Plus, dancing + fight=love for me so I enjoy it immensely along with my music love of it. Also, if you want to check out a Smallville fun video that makes fun of Clark's confused nature, go here and see sisabet's new vid. It makes me put aside my Clark dislike and enjoy the crazy situations he gets himself into.

I got 5 free iTunes songs by taking a college survey :) Only problem is, I'm not sure what to use them for since I usually get my music free anyway. So I'll have to try to find something that makes it worth it. Any suggestions? |
