When a minute seems like a year...

[gwyn]

Vidding is the strangest thing -- we get so excited about... like, 12 seconds. We will email all our friends and say, I have 12 more seconds on the vid! And we all go yay like it's the biggest thing ever. I think 10 seconds of vid time is equivalent to writing about 1,800 words of fiction.

So I'm all excited that feochadn and I finally -- finally! -- got to work on our Deadwood vid after a million missed starts, and we have a minute and 11 seconds. W00t. I mean, in what universe is a minute -- we're up to the first chorus -- a w00t? It is in vidding. I love what we have here. But sometimes I worry about us. I worry that Jo and I love violence and see beauty in film violence just a little too much. I mean, we're poring over clips, looking for something bloody or brutal.

Sample conversation:
me: Oh, this is a great clip -- doesn't get much more brutal than that!
jo: Eh... not enough movement. Or, maybe more blood.
me: This one's really nice and gruesome.

I think people are going to look at this vid and either go, What the *fuck*?, or they're going to think it's cool. And maybe give us business cards for their therapist.

I was just thinking the other day that with all the supernatural shows coming out on network tv now, I'd like to see someone with some REAL TALENT resurrect The Twilight Zone. I mean, Rod Serling was effing brilliant, and the new writer(s) better be as good if not better, especially since Americans aren't so easily scared these days. Stephen King will not suffice.

That said, I think Fichtner could star in every episode and still creep the shit out of me.

Glad your TiVo didn't fail you. *G*
