wiscon_vidpartyHello, vidders! were_duck and skud asked me to host this discussion for anyone in the process of putting together a vid to submit as a premiere to their Wiscon vid party.
(Info about the party and premieres info post.)
The deadline is in a couple of weeks -- May 1st (with a late deadline of May 13th, do let them know if you’re planning to submit later). Fear not, if you’re still trying to get something together! There is still time.
This post can operate as an open thread when we can commiserate, seek out betas and get any technical or moral support required to make it to the end.
Here are some resources that might be useful, particularly for newer vidders:
Lots of tutorials at Foolish Passion: http://www.foolishpassion.org/

Date: 2011-04-20 01:42 am (UTC)So months later, I get to VVC and look at the program and everyone else's vid summaries are, like, 3 words long. As someone else put it, a typical VVC vid summary is: "John Sheppard: does he?" So my summary sticks out like a great big overgrown tumor or something. It was ridiculous.
/o\
I realise that's not necessarily helpful, but I just wanted you to know that I share your pain.

Date: 2011-04-20 01:55 am (UTC)The funny thing is that as a viewer, I often appreciate fairly explicit summaries that give me a frame of reference for what the vidder is doing, especially if I'm only going to watch the vid once (like at a con!) Yet as a vidder, I tend towards the vaguely pretentious song lyric that probably says nothing to anyone who isn't me. Even now, the summaries Becka and I are kicking around are like, 10 words, and yet I'm like...but they are so wordy and on the nose. :) Oh vidding, never change.
