I'm a vidding machine!

I've posted the just-finished Ocean's 11 vid Tumbling Dice, here at my vids site. This is a very fluffy, lightweight vid that I made in land-speed record time, and had no idea I would ever even want to do this but for a strange set of circumstances and my lack of focus on anything lately except vidding, as escapist entertainment/frustration, I suppose. I've always wanted to vid to a couple different Rolling Stones songs, and had been listening to Tumbling Dice a lot lately, wishing I could find something to vid for it. And then I was lying in bed, agitating over my sister's estate, and this song was running in the back of my head the whole time, and I thought, hey! Ocean's 11! And I remembered the wonderful stories that Dorinda and keiko_kirin wrote, so it seemed like a cool way to thank them for the stories, so I thought I'd put it on my plate. Then the next day I saw that killabeez was having a really really bad time, and I knew she liked O11, and movies_michelle loves it and always remembers to pick up some food for me on Friday nights when we get together, so I thought, hey, maybe a vid would make Killa feel perkier and help Dorinda slog through her dissertation, and so I did it. Really fast!

Two vids in a week, though, is a weird record for me, and I learned a lot in making them -- the fact that I used different software for both, and they are wildly different styles -- one a movie from a director who favors using mixed color palettes, and the other a television show that not that many people have seen. I realize that pretty much no one cares about my process or how I make vids, but I felt like writing it down, anyway.
