So [livejournal.com profile] bradcpu was having vidding idea angst today, and apparently it's contagious.

Because, y'all, it's Doctor Who, and it's to a song I could stand to listen to over and over, but there are:

Thematic problems: It's pretty much nothing but angst, and also the lyrics are kind of sexual. I like the dubious platonicity of Doctor / Rose love; I would have to really, really work the metaphors both in song and footage to get it to a place I'm comfortable with. Also, the POV isn't immediately clear in my head, but that's pretty standard.

Technical problems: Getting my hard drive clean enough to vid is a massive (if admittedly already necessary) undertaking. Also, I don't know how to do fancy, fancy effects like slow motion. Fade to black almost did me in last time. So the learning curve will be steep.

More thematic problems: Why do I never have sweet, cute, hilarious ideas? No, it's all angst all the time. ::heavy sigh::

Time management problems: or, how awesome is it that I'm on vacation long enough to go "what do I want to do? Work more on fic, or vid?" Maybe I can do both?

::contemplates::



(non-specific, just blathery)

Incidentally, where do y'all get your DW torrents? Anonymous comments are screened, so if anyone wants to drop me a community recommendation, that would be supercool.

Anything I've learned about editing and tech has been purely trial and error. Emphasis on the error. But I agree with you about good editing trumping all.

Good luck!
