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::

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.

I'm not sure if when you say "anonymous comments are screened", you're wanting people to comment anonymously so you can screen them? If so, feel free to delete this. Also, yay DW vid!

For torrents, I usually try here (http://thesprawl.se/) first. Other places I go to when that fails are here (http://www.torrentspy.com/"), here (http://www.tvtorrents.com/), or here (http://www.demonoid.com/).

Is this bad form to link to places? Should I have sent this to you in an email?

hey! Some people belong to livejournal communities that post megaupload and yousendit links, and those communities usually have really strict rules about mentioning them in unlocked posts because they don't want to get shut down. Googleable websites like you mentioned are usually fair game, and quite handy! Thanks!
