balsamandashI am so in love with vidding as an art form.
Just. Holy crap, the things you can do with it, the things you can evoke. The exhilaration of watching a vid that really knows how to work its music and its beats is like watching a really great play. The ways that structure, that the layer of a certain shot over a certain word or line or bit of music can say something in two seconds that you'd need an entire rambling fic to get out. (And the difference between a vid meant for people with no context, or where the context doesn't matter, and one where it's very clearly meant for people who know the context, or means something entirely different for someone who knows the context, because then you really understand the pairing of that shot and that line.)
I love it, I love it so much, and I am not coherent or intelligent enough to talk about it the way I want, to explain the why of how it echoes with me, but god do I love it.
(and one day I will have a decent computer and I will go back to making mediocre vids in the hopes that one day i learn to make a good one. Because I want to be able to do this, and do it right.)
I'm going to go back to watching them, lest this end up turning into A) an even less coherent ramble or B) a vid rec post. I just. Yeah. Vids. They are fucking amazing.
ETA: An hour later I am sitting here trying not to cry because I will probably never go to Vividcon. Also because sad vids. I am getting waaaaay too emotional over vids today. I can't tell if this is subliminating my depression into something else or what.
(But no seriously I would give an arm to go to Vividcon.)
ETA2: Someone should make me stop planning vids before I get frustrated with my inability to make them. (Someone should also make me stop listening to Seamstress.)
