Distract me, O Muse!

"Let's see, I'm stressed out over life, what can I do...hmm, edit something escapist! w00t!"
Vid 11 is probably within a few days of being done. I know I could fine-tune a lot of things, but I'm happy with all but about three shots right now, and that's not a bad ratio for me. (Six months from now, those three shots will drive me NUTS. But for now...it's okay.)
Some more checking for outright mistakes, one more image to add and "animate," and the always-painful process of encoding can begin.
I'm hoping by this weekend I can have it all together - that's a week ahead of schedule. Score. :D
This is a short video, just over 2:30 without the credits. I'm liking that. Short video + long series = more choices.

Oh, and AMVs. Right.

I was in a cut-out-the-deadweight mood this morning, so I burned off the files for that random project I was working on yesterday. Meh. I should finish MOTL, I suppose. I really don't feel much of anything for it anymore, and (as those of you who've seen the betas know) it's kind of a wreck.
Maybe I'm just tapped out? I don't have any of these compelling ideas anymore, that stick in my head for years. Seriously, what eventually became "Like a Burning Star" cooked in my head for over a year before it got made. And it survived that time. A lot of other ideas came and went, but that one, Darwin-style, made the cut. Lately I feel like I'm scratching for ideas, or, if I try an idea that's been in my head forever (like Anthy/"Until the End of the World"), it doesn't seem to have any energy onscreen.
I'm not feeling compelled. I just mess around, that's fun, but... really, nothing's been fun from very beginning to very end since "DWR." Everything else has had moments of being hard. This isn't supposed to be hard. I mean fuck, some people knock out six videos a week. This is supposed to be easy. It's just not for me.

Honest to god, is it SO FUCKING HARD to just avoid threads that don't interest you? Do you feel some BURNING NEED to shit all over threads just because they're not to your liking? I don't care for mecha anime; should I go into EVERY FUCKING MECHA ANIME THREAD I CAN FIND and insult the genre just because I, J. Random Fan, don't like it? Who the fuck cares if I don't like it! Why can't people see this? Morons!
Ugh. Hate hate hate.
I'm done.

Welcome to the Throw Stuff At the Timeline And See What Looks Good School of Editing! For those of you who need a break from agonizing over exactly what should go in that low spot at 1:12.
This one will probably not get done, but it's fun to mess with, and dammit, that's a good thing too.
If it does, however, I'm dead. It is tacky to the nth degree and doesn't even have the saving grace of being funny or kitschy. It's just taaaacky tacky tacky tacky tacky. And I like it that way. But whew, any chance I had of ever taking myself the slightest bit seriously is so out the window. XD
I'm feeling a bit freaked out over life, and need distraction - breaking out the Diet Coke with Lime, my fluffy new drug of choice, and we're off.

A while back, somebody messaged me about my old SOEX vid, and I just got a message from them again - they've finished an Ashton Anchors cosplay outfit, and used my AMV as their main source of visual references.
*sniffle*
I feel so useful. ;)
Just hope I didn't lead them astray about the dragons' sides; some of those shots were horizontally flipped. ~_~ Well... anyway. Squee, and stuff.
Ashton is one of my favorite costumes in gaming, so this is particularly cool to me.
Sigh.
Well, speaking of which, I've had to drop my plans to cosplay Dominique - we can't pull together a whole group in three months, plus trenchcoat + July = CRY. I am enamored with the idea of cosplaying random members of the Crazy 88 from Kill Bill, but that would necessitate a few other people, and I don't know if anyone's game for that. Eh, fun idea, at least. ;) I wouldn't make a very good yakuza anyway. Not the cool kind of scary.
