Would anyone on my flist be willing to beta a vid for the movie Big Eden? I'm almost finished (I have the last 1/8 to go) and it's for Escapade so I'll need to be done by end of month with my own tinkering and any beta input (that is, assuming we have a vid show, which I'm starting to wonder about by now). It's very very slow and still kind of long, even though I've cut a minute of song.
All I ask is that you 1) follow through if you volunteer and 2) don't try to remake the vid as you would do it if you're a vidder yourself. I've had a lot of people bail on me without explanation on vid betas lately, and it's left me feeling kind of demoralized, especially when they criticize something later they could have helped fix if they'd followed through. So, I'd really like you to want to help me make the best vid I can that is still, you know, my vid. (I understand the temptation to tell someone how to make something as you would do it, and do it better, honest I do. But I don't think that's very helpful to anyone in terms of critique of the work someone's done... call me kooky.)
And put your hand down,
mlyn -- I know you already are willing.
