Vividcon premiere vids poll

[gwyn]

After some discussion with sdwolfpup, I'm doing her annual Vividcon Premieres vid poll, which is a lot harder to put together than it looks. I tip my hat to SDW for doing it all these years. I asked her about whether she was posting one, since she (sob!) isn't able to come this year, because I realized I always liked seeing what others were filling out the poll with. And I need a break from working on my own vid. What are you bringing this year? I know one premieres vid already to a movie fandom so obscure it will not be known by anyone else, and I will be filling it out with Mad Men, if I can finish the damn thing. I'm starting to have doubts about it. I have a feeling I know what the big two fandoms will be this year.

ETA: And crap, I just realized I left out Leverage, which I meant to go in the second set of radio buttons. Sorry!

I may change my mind. *kicks timeline*

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

I have changed my mind three times now.

And I might yet again!

[lapillus]

I may possibly have a vid. I'm not sure as I have other things that have earlier deadlines that are not yet done. Also, frankly, I'm ambivalent about putting one in premieres - it adds yet another layer of complication when putting together the show. Also I have one vid premiering in CV and another in All In The Family so that also takes off some pressure. If I do it it will be short (under two minutes) and without much substance, simply to add a counterpoint to play with when arranging things and give everyone a mental break - not because I expect it to be a superlative vid.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

I totally understand your feelings on the matter. I do hope that you will do one, but that's just because I'm selfish and it's been so long since we've had a new vid from you. (Hey, remember when you were working on the X-Files vids? Those were the days, right?) Also, I'm doing the vid review, so it would be cool to be able to talk about it.

[feochadn.livejournal.com]

You didn't list my show. *pouts*

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

I was going to ask you crankily "well then what show?" but then I remembered you mentioning you might try to do The Beast. I completely forgot you said that -- but you didn't say for sure. And I forgot one of my favorite shows, as well -- Pushing Daisies. I kept trying to think of the things people talk about on their LJs. You never post!

[feochadn.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's the Beast -- currently about 3/4 finished. Would be further if I hadn't spent the ENTIRE WEEKEND watching remastered Star Trek TOS episodes and staring at Bill Shatner's ass a disturbing amount of the time. I suck majorly...but, seriously, have you SEEN these things?!? (The remasters, not Shatner's ass).
I should go to bed.
As soon as I finish "Day of the Dove."
Ooooh, pretty...

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Ch. 11 has been showing Trek in the remastered form, and bless their hearts, they're showing them in 4:3. It's weird because i expect the worst from them -- they don't show anything in HD here and it's disappointing, to say the least. But I recorded Tribbles a couple weeks ago, and have it set for Spock's Brain next weekend, I think. You should come see Tribbles here. I kept it because it's stunning like whoa. You can see the pilling on Kirk's casual Fridays uniform shirt (what WAS that surplice wrap top, anyway?) I didn't think the remasters would look that good on a plasma screen, I was afraid of too much detail, but it does look really good.

And yeah, so does Kirk's ass.

[feochadn.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I have great affection for that stupid green shirt (I'm kinda weirded out by how much he wears it, though, I didn't remember it being around that much!). I'm floored by the quality of these remasters -- not only the pilling, but you can see the nap on the velour and judge the relative temperature of the studio on any given day...even on my TV. I should come over sometime and bring these discs (I found seasons 2-3 at Cellophane, cheap!) -- the tribbles one has ALL the tribbles eps (cartoon and DS9) and it's astonishing how BAD the DS9 ep looks in comparison. All hail 35mm master negs! And call me a non-purist traitor, but I'm diggin' the digital effects; even the Papier-mache Planet-eating Cornucopia of Doom looks good (well, less like a giant grey doobie).

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Totally -- bring them over! Let's ogle that ass!

Oooo, I haven't seen the cornucopia of doom for a long time.

Dude, there were MORE tribbles eps? I never knew that. I knew DS9 did mirrorverse stories, but I had no idea there were other tribbles eps.

Now I really really want to see Mirror, Mirror. Right now. "Your agonizer, Mr Kyle!"

35 mm for the win.

[sdwolfpup.livejournal.com]

It's amazing how time-consuming it is to type up all those fandoms, isn't it? It seems like it should be quick, but it's really not. Hee. Thanks for doing this!

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

It was -- and I forgot two whole fandoms of my very own! I was watching Pushing Daisies and slapped my forehead. I can see why you were happy to take a break this year!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

I was originally doing a Dollhouse vid, but was bitten by a vid bug last month that was impossible to resist.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

What for what for what for?? :: jumps up and down::

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Ha! I just realized that it's actually a choice.

*changes poll answer*

So, yes. Star Trek. TOS/XI.

[obsessive24.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping for a BtVS non-attending premiere, but it's looking well shite, so no idea whether I'll actually finish/submit it on time.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

It's a bummer that you can't join us again this year. I do hope, though, that you are able to finish the vid, it would make me really happy to see something from you there, of course.

[trelkez.livejournal.com]

I'm presently undecided between two, one in Jossverse and one that isn't on your list. I may well go down to the wire on picking which one to send, knowing me.

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

I like to think I'll get my Alias vid done for Premieres, but this it patently ridiculous thinking. I cling to hope, however.

[anoel.livejournal.com]

I cling to hope with you!

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I didn't even include Alias because I figured people weren't interested (though I still am!!). So this is very exciting and I really do hope it can be finished.

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

I've got an SPN vid farmed out for beta right now. That'll probably be my Premieres vid, unless a) the beta finds a large number of really, really hard to fix problems or b) my software suddenly decides that it hates the file, and starts crashing every time I load it.

BOTH happened to the vid I was working on this time last summer. *looks frantically for wood to knock on*

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Yay to the beta, but boo to the crashing. I really hope that won't happen and will cross all fingers and toes for you.

[destina.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I'm going, but I am sure I'm not submitting a premieres vid. This makes me...sort of sad? It's hard to tell. *g*

[elynross.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I'm going...

WHAT. Noooooooo! Say it's not possibly so!

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

I'm with Ellen on this -- NOOOOOOoooooooo.

[bananainpyjamas.livejournal.com]

Already submitted my Sarah Connor Chronicles premiere. *kicks back and relaxes* :)

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

W00t!!! Go you!!

[valoise.livejournal.com]

Hmm, my fandom's not listed either. Highlander

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know, I didn't even include some of the older fandoms because it seems no one ever does them for VVC. I''m SO glad to hear that someone is, and it's in premieres!! Yay.

[milly.livejournal.com]

Woot, only one with my fandom!

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Variety, it is a good thing!

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

I was going to do a SPN vid, but then my external hard drive ate my source. :/

I was going to do a Multivid, but then I realized my narrative so TANGLED I wasn't sure how to go about it anymore.

I am doing some kind of film vid for premieres. I've had the idea for a long time but it's so not working out in the vid the way it looked in my head. I might ditch it for yet ANOTHER movie.

Basically, I just want something that I can feel passionate about and not get hosed up in right now. I don't need to be all "I bend your brains and push vid boundaries". I just need something that can be thought well of, since my vidding skillz are not yet that considerable. :P

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

I hear you on that. I've given up trying to even predict what will please people there in regards to the bend your brains thing, and I think the last few years have been easier in that respect -- I just figure nothing will impress anyone that I can do, so I'll just make what I want to make.

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Why do I suspect the other two "Jossverse" answers are Dollhouse vids as well?

{ETA: And a silly/crack Leverage vid is my backup. :)}

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Oh, silly crack Leverage would be most welcome, I think!

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Well, it will be (almost is!) done... it just won't be my selection for the Premieres.

(I know, I know, all the deep/dark/disturbing/depressing types end up in the Premieres, but I'm working *hard* on the Dollhouse one! :-/ )

[bistokidsfan77.livejournal.com]

Well, you didn't list my fandom :D I am VividCon virgin & I'm submitting a vid for my venerable yet durable fandom - The Professionals. It was an auction vid, and I'm happy to say I'm getting ready to upload it this week. I may even finish another vid I am working on to submit.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

That's AWEsome! Two older fandoms represent (someone else is bringing Highlander)!

[bistokidsfan77.livejournal.com]

Oh, gawd, I <3 your icon! I do go for the older fandoms - Pros, Starsky & Hutch, MFU, I-Spy, etc. The classics, baby :D

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

There is a reason they are classics -- they are always in fashion and always relevant. ;-)

[jescaflowne.livejournal.com]

I really want to get a vid done but work has me by the proverbial balls at the moment. If I do manage to finish, it will fall in line with the usual meaningless fluffer-puff themes I tend to go for :)

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

I hope you can!! And listen, your fluffer-puff is genius, so believe me, it's exciting to hear!

[hellpenguin.livejournal.com]

Merlin. am I the only one? sweet.

um, I kind of need episode thirteen to finish it though.

any idea where I can get my grimy little fangirl hands on it?

[rhoboat.livejournal.com]

Hello! First time attendee, and since I just submitted my premieres vid today, I thought I'd finally go back to this poll and answer it. I wasn't even sure that I was going to submit a vid for premieres until this past weekend. Anyway, looks like I'm not alone in sending a Supernatural vid. :D

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Just now found this poll. I'll be submitting a vid for the Hammer Frankenstein series.

It'll be fun! I think.

[jmtorres.livejournal.com]

I couldn't decide whether to ticky "multifandom," "Star Trek series" or "movie fandom."
