Oh shit.

[hmpf]

I just took a look at my unfinished re-edit of my first/only LoM vid (draft version can be found here for those who haven't seen it yet - please keep in mind it's a draft, though), and noticed that I've completely forgotten how to use the editing software.

I'm also scared stiff when I think about trying to recreate the section where the lights switch off on the beat of the music. That was frelling difficult to achieve the first time around, and I'm so not looking forward to doing that another time. Arrrgh.

If I were a bit more intelligent/less perfectionist/less obsessive I'd probably just say the video is done, and move on.

But I want a better version, grrrr. I can see it in my mind.

At least I was clever enough to make a detailed script of the entire vid when I decided to re-edit it. And I kept all the clips.

BTW - the vid has mostly 'plain cuts', i.e. no fades. Do you think I should change that? I'm scared of fades. I find them very difficult to time to the music, among other things, I think.

Can't comment on the technical details, as I have zero experience of vidding. However, I liked the plain cuts. I think fades and swipes and all the rest of it can be overused, but in the end, it's up to you, it's your video.

Also, that vid being to that song? Completely responsible for my obsession with that song (thinking of writing an HB fic with either the same title or a quote from the song - thinking about the 'verse with Matt, specifically, obviously).
