Title now. Though it's still #8b until it's closer to done, *I* feel better about it.

...except that it has no title. This annoys me. I can't even imagine what I MIGHT use for a title. I don't want to use another lyric line as a title; I've done it before and it was lame. Something tells me that if the concept doesn't even suggest a title by itself, it's probably weak... eh.
I like the progression through the vid, if that can be called a concept; it just doesn't suggest any titles that don't suck or sound ridiculously sappy.

I love that moment when you look at the timeline and instead of thinking, "God, how am I going to fill all this time with something meaningful?", you think, "This is *all* the time I have to get all these ideas in there?"
Hit that point today with #8b. It's quite nice. It's also round about the point where I can see the progression of the whole thing in my head, and I just have to scan through the clips and think "Oh yeah, this belongs *there.*" Falls together more easily. Not that it *falls* together, but that things seem to find the place where they belong more easily.
8a is a bit more steeply uphill. I ended up sorting clips, which is probably a bad idea. It's less organic that way. (Instead of leaving all the source piled at the end in chronological order as I tend to do, I set up a bunch of useless tracks to sort clips into by mood or subject. All of character X's scenes got sorted into one pile, all the violent scenes got sorted into another pile, etc.)
Last time I sorted clips in a video was "Fate and Frustration," and that ended up sucking - whether or not this was because of the clip sorting is another matter, but still, that video had sorted clips and it sucked. Make of that what you will.
Though then, 8a is inching closer to the point where I could probably just scan normally. Even though it's harder in that it deals with some minor charas.
Bah. Anyway. 8b is proceeding. The timeline is about 25% full, which probably translates to about 10% complete overall, but I don't hate it yet. Good sign.
It's very simplistic. Very. But then, I guess that's what I do. As long as I have something to watch in the end, I guess the effort wasn't wasted. -

*sends a crate of [beverage of choice] to everyone making Yaoicon videos*
Best of luck, guys 'n gals. ^_^ I so wish I could pull something together, but my best bet (Weight of the World) is on a CD so scratched I can't rip it, and after Otakon I don't have the money to buy a new copy. (Hell, I can't even afford blank CDs right now.)
Sigh. See, I'm always a month behind. I managed to finish DW&R a month after the Shoujocon deadline (not that it matters much, with stuff like TTSM out nowadays), and just as I start warming up to make these vids, I miss the Yaoicon deadline.
I don't have much chance to get into that either with some of the editors working in the genre now, but it would still be nice to TRY to enter. Ya know? I'm never going to enter one of the big cons, but Yaoicon, Shoujocon, and Yuricon are specialized and small. And I keep missing all of them. Meh.
Meh, I say.
I have heard that there's a loser's exhibition in one of the cons, where people who can't get into regular cons can just have their videos shown anyway. Eh. I *could* do that, but the idea depresses me so damn much that I don't even want to try. I don't want to be condescended to. I'm not that desperate. Heck, half of the reason I plug my videos at all is to plug the music I like. I get excited about the stuff I like, and I want to share it with people. I am a pop-culture evangelist at heart. ;)
