So
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.

I've been using Roxio, which gives me fits-- crashes at THE most inappropriate times and flakes out on me with transitions, but it's done it job so far.
Forget even thinking about Media Movie Maker-- what a joke. Crashes if you have anything bigger than 45 seconds.

Some day I will post an extended complaint about the hoops I jump through to make my computer vid, but right now I'm too pleased at the thought of getting into it again, overnight rendering and all. If only I can get slow motion.
