Life has been busy and I keep forgetting to post things. This vid was for romancingmcshep in February and had companion fic written by danceswithgary! Also claiming it for my vid_bingo card guardian square. I think I got bingo a while back but I didn't keep good track and I'm pleased to say I underestimated my potential vidding output by just getting a 3x3 grid. I should go get a round 2.

This vid is just an enormous compilation of the way John and Rodney look at each other in joy and confusion. I probably could have done entirely sitting next to each other clips but there were too many other good options to pass up. I'm kind of weirdly most proud of the fact that I completely eviscerated this song into 6 parts--to shorten it up because I couldn't face 4 minutes--and I think it's completely unnoticeable except for the fade in and out. Also on AO3.

In other vidding news, vidukon_cardiff is open for registration! I really enjoyed it last year. It's sadly a weekend I have plans but it's virtual and I think there's a way to replay and watch as if you're real time.

vidukon_cardiff has been amazing so far you guys. So many great vids! This also made me make the leap to trying out Discord although I'm still figuring it out. I had two vids in the Premieres show today and people said really nice things!

Vid 1 is a fan trailer I made for Naomi Novik's Temeraire book series. DRAGONS!

Vid 2 is a Lord of the Rings vid focusing on all the gorgeous nature shots.

I've been working on this for a few weeks as just a pick me up for bad days. I hope other people might enjoy it too! Marking off my friendship square for vid_bingo.

I made a vid! For crossovercoffee. Two of this round's prompts were Parker from Leverage (character) and using the ventilation system to get around (trope). Using the vents to get around is of course a thing that Parker does all the time so there were some good clips. These are from 1x08 The Bank Job (technically a money deposit drop and not a vent but close enough), 2x07 The Two Live Crew Job, 3x03 The Inside Job & 3x11 The Rashomon Job. There are probably more instances but I couldn't think of them offhand and I currently only own the first 3 seasons.

I was able to use VLC to get clips off my DVDs and I feel very powerful! There may be more ambitious future vids! This was also 100% easier once I realized the version of iMovie I had was somehow from 2009 and I downloaded a newer version that is much more user friendly.

Anyway, this was fun! Many thanks to colls for vidding knowledge and encouragement :)
