gwyn: (nikita fatale sinecure)
I feel like my life is TBD right now. I cannot seem to focus on anything much except vidding, for some weird reason. (More on my stupid life later.) So, since I'm all but ADD except for vids, I have my new La Femme Nikita vid up at my site. (It's QT, 22MB, sorry for that but I still haven't found anything I like except MPEG-4 for both audio and video, and so my files are large. I'm a total quality Nazi, and have a hard enough time coping with the tiny pictures anyway, since I make my vids specifically to be watched on a large screen, and I don't like the options I have available, and the QT Divx thing won't even install the #$%$&@# player, let alone allow me to make a Divx file. So there.) The vid is to Sneaker Pimps' 6 Underground (Nellee Hooper edit), and it's kind of a look at what sort of cost Nikita pays for loving that man of hers, Michael, inside Section One.

The weekend was strange, up and down. [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup came down to my house to look over this vid file and help me figure out how to do the effects on one segment that was really troubling me, and that I couldn't feel good about as is. I had a great time, and I just like her more and more every time we get together -- I learn excellent things about Final Cut from her, and we gossip, and it's always fun. So she gave me just the right workaround for the segment, and I was able to finish it this morning, finally. Learning this was a long slow slog, but I think the vid came out way better than I expected it to, considering it was my learning new impossible software vid. [livejournal.com profile] sherrold says I dodged the bullet by it not making the Vividcon dance show cut, because she says there's too much going on for it to be a dance vid, even a slow sexy dance vid, so that made me feel good that I'd achieved something with the story I thought I might otherwise not have been able to because I had such difficulty with the software. Big, big thanks to [livejournal.com profile] morgandawn, [livejournal.com profile] laurashapiro, and [livejournal.com profile] barkley, too, for all the FCE advice they've given me in the months I've worked on this.

Unfortunately I had to take an older vid offline, but not that many people DL it; I will have to start taking things offline soon to make room for more vids. [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup told me about her hosting service, which seems to provide more space for less money, so I may look into moving it to accommodate more vids or something, depending on if they support the things I need. Oh, for limitless vid space!
