I showed it at the otakon panel...
Ummm...you did? That's a vid I am usually embarrassed to show anyone. It's only the third one I ever made, and even though it was my first prize winner, it's still...boring? Maybe I've watched it too often.
The video was basically an editing exercise. <Note for newbies> The same way a school teacher makes you write the answers to a hundred multiplications, or when sensei Miyagi makes you wash his car ("Wax on, wax off."), this video was how I learned to time clips. The act of timing is easy enough. But by placing a few hundred stills to short beats, the process becomes a habit, and your eye and ear are trained to know when it's right. At least, that's the goal. </end of tonight's lesson

(I won't mention what a pain in the --- it is to collect all those stills.)
