Things Not Conducive to Vidding:

[tzikeh]

1) Looking for clips in an episode but forgetting to mute, so you get caught up in the plot and then it's 43 minutes later and you forgot to, oh yeah, look for clips.

2) Watching other people's vids for free-association inspiration and then searching gnutella for an hour for other songs by that cool band that one vidder used in that one vid.

3) Spilling hard cider all over your desk.

Yes, a productive holiday all around.

ETA: astolat made me this icon, so I had to add it. Bitch.

Then of course, there is checking livejournal - just for a second, really.

Don't drink and drive, you goof.

This made me giggle, because I do this fairly often. More often than I'm going to admit in print. *g*

I made a CD of songs i want to vid so I can put it on repeat in the car, and visualize.

"Riders on the Storm" as a three-film Mark Hamill retrospective?

"Happy Together" as the Anti-Het vid?

"Too Much Fun" as a RedK!Clark vid.

I so have to get some equipment!

On the flipside, noting and capturing everything that's even remotely usable, then wondering later what the hell you were on to have clipped 7GB worth of possible source.

No vidding while intoxicated
No very weird Individuals
No vegetables wearing Izod
No Vikings wearing indigo
No vending machines with ice cream
No violating women's iconography
No vortex, wormhole or inter-dimensiona travel
No vampires, witches or imps
No vision without imagination
No videos with inchworms
No villainy while indigent
No vile whiny idiots

I imagine the first one is the correct one. This is almost as much fun as coming up with things that WOAD could stand for. My favorite was War on Absolute Drivel

No very wordy introductions
No virtue, wisdom, or integrity
No validating willful ignorance
No viable way in

Yep and yeah. Next thing you lknow it is 2 am and that quick fix you were gonna do before bed still hasn't been touched. Chalk it up to "research"
