Put down the mouse and step away from the editing software

I am floundering with the writing, though it is coming along. Chapter 9 of Measure of a Man is getting done, but I'm at the action set piece and I hate writing action, even though everyone tells me I'm great at it. It's almost as painful as writing sex scenes. And Part 7 of Ciudad de Estrellas is coming along, just very, very slooowwwlllyyy. Apparently we are now at the all-talking portion of our event. Now that I'm out of vid farr, I don't know what to do. I have all these projects on my list, but these are the only ones really burning a hole in my pants. So tell me what to do. I don't see the point in wasting my time remastering No Way Out, frankly, but I put it on the list just in case there is one person who cares. And I keep thinking about my Keen Eddie vid, but I don't know if I should save that for Escapade, or ditch it because I did Keen Eddie for the con two years ago. I'm never sure if movie vids are worth it, either, considering the movies I like tend to have smallish audiences or they are vidded out. Just don't get too ticky-box happy, because this is more what I should do next, not whether I should make them at all.

Small comment on the Firefly: I wouldn't wait for movie footage. For one thing, some of the characters look quite different. Mal and Inara and Wash are close to the way they looked in the series, but Kaylee and Zoe and Jayne are much thinner, and Book has changed.

I don't know if you've seen one of the previews for Serenity yet, but if not, it's possible the plot could affect the content of the vids you've planned, as well.

Yeah, they do look different, but honestly, if people changing physically prevented you from doing vids, I'd never have been able to make any of my X-Files or Nikita or Buffy vids! Buffy especially changes so dramatically from the beginning to the end it's almost like seeing another actress. One person remarked on a Scully-centric vid that I did that "it's like a catalog of Scully's hair syles." So, you gotta go with what you're given. And yes, I've seen the movie. It really doesn't affect any of my ideas, just that it provides more opportunities.
