December [Festivid Assignment] - redacted until reveals! [Festivid Treat] - redacted until reveals!

Review questions under the cut.

Random process notes:

Well, I have been kidding for *counts* 16 years now?? I guess I kind of know what I’m doing when I have a good idea of what a vid is like inside my head. Which is why most of these vids took less than a week to make and none of them were on my actual to-make list that I had written down at the beginning of the year. Flighty ADHD/anxiety brain just latching onto the feelings of the moment and zooming across the timeline until I can call it done. I think I started two non-witcher vids during the year before Festivids but the witcher hyperfixation remains too strong. Everything else falling to the WIP piles. I tried to finish my Moonhaven vid but couldn’t focus. Tried to finish my Green Knight and Blade vids but no, my brain was more interested in writing +70k of fic this year, aha.

Overall thoughts:

HEY I made Festivid stuff! I can vid-non Witcher things! I was really worried there that my brain was just forever stuck on Witcher but! I did it.

Anyway. I really love vidding The Witcher Netflix and keep building up my clip gallery for easy reference for when I can settle in for the next witcher vid. I keep fuck up my exports though because I’m doing everything too quickly and not paying enough attention. So there’s some export-related things and a few minor clips I would have changed if I weren’t caught up in a in a rush. But overall I’m very, very happy with my crop of vids this year.

Favorite Vid:

Most of the time I have upwards of 8-16 vids a year and it’s easier to pick a favorite. When I do so few… they’re all my favorite. For different reasons.

For my Yennefer vid it’s my favorite editing.

For Mr. Brightside it’s my favorite song choice and tone (this is a cover in the style of The B-52s) for Jaskier.

My Fringilla vid — it’s my favorite thing that came together from all of the season footage of her character from seasons 1 and 2 and the song just makes me so happy that it tied everything together for her.

For the Vilgefortz/Geralt vid, oh it’s my favorite because it’s my pure id, heh, and my favorite build/pacing of all my vids.

My festivids are my favorite because I have been wanting to make things them for awhile now but hadn’t had the focus. And then I did!

Hardest to make:

The only thing that was hard was me exporting shitty stuff and not realizing it until days or weeks after I uploaded and crossposted. Anyway. I took my time with my festivid exports so those should look pretty good. Most successful:

They are all successful in my heart. I love them.

My best vid:

Probably my Fringilla or Vilgefortz/Geralt vid. I’m so happy how they turned out.

Most fun vid:

Mr. Brightside. I love playing with Jaskier’s humor with the song choice and the transitions.

Things I learned in 2023:

Mmm, I am still worked up about my fic WIPs and life anxieties that I wasn’t able to do more vidding things that I wanted. As for the projects themselves, I learned that it’s very handy to have a standing clip gallery all labelled and ready for when I want to make my next Witcher Netflix vid.

In 2024:

I always want to be ambitious in the new year but always end up wandering in completely unexpected directions. In any case I would love to finish my Moonhaven vid and get my brain in order to find the last of the Black Sails source I need for a vid idea that has been eating my brain for 4 months now. I also have my Philippa Eilhart Witcher vid I want to make as well as a season 3 Witcher Netflix vid too that’s taking up space in my brain.

read on for some vid notes

I finished this vid at 11:45pm on the final day of 2020. A two-evening affair where this vid was itching to get out of me for weeks and I didn't do it until the last minute. It took me 50 minutes to export because I had fucked up my sequence settings when I was setting up the project file so I wasn't able to upload it until after midnight. But I am still counting it as my final vid of the year since I had the timeline done in 2020.

I saw Underwater in theaters last January and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the film. I guess some folks had issues with it and there's some things I would have changed but it's very much an homage and love letter to Alien with all the Lovecraft horror vibes one can stand. Also I very much appreciated a stripped-down Kristen Stewart and the camera was not sexualizing her one bit and Jessica Henwick was sooo great too.

Basically this movie is all about living through a state of never-ending shock and trauma and trying to survive with those around you while this giant specter is trying to to eat you and destroy everything. All to an amazing song with a great beat. It seemed fitting to make this my last vid of the year.

Stargate: High Voltage, by kuwdora

Posted by: beatrice_otter Fandom: Stargate Pairings/Characters: Rating: Teen Length: 3:24 Creator Links: kuwdora  Theme: fanvid, fandom classics, old fandoms, gen, psychic powers, science fiction, Summary: High voltage: bringing you up and taking you down. Reccer’s Notes: Can we say it’s character development if it’s species development? If it’s about the development of our understanding of and relation to the Ancients? This fic takes pieces from all of the Stargate shows, as our understanding of the Ancients changes over the years. This is about how they see themselves vs. how we see them, and the terrible legacy of their choices that they left their descendants to pay the price for. It’s so well done.
