People believe that critiquing = not a good fan. Enjoyment of something is all or nothing. People believe that if they acknowledge something they love is problematic, then that means they are then bad people for liking something problematic.
But I mean, look at it this way. A person loves their cat. They LOOOOOVE their cat. But sometimes, cat will scratch you, or pee on your pillow or something that you really don’t like. Does this mean you are a bad person, because you love your wildly urinating cat? I don’t think so. But it is good to acknowledge that cat can be a badcat. And then maybe train it to not be a badcat. I mean, who likes to sleep with cat urine on their pillow, no matter HOW much you love that darn cat, right?

Vidding Diary pt 2: Now we’re cookin
Okay, okay so I haven’t actually been slacking about this vidding diary. No.
I have been slacking about the *vid*
What happened since pt 1 and now: Laid 7 seconds of footage for the intro the day after post 1, got massive creative block. Broke it only *last night*
Apparently I was initmidated by this vid.
We’re back on track now. I am working on “section 1”. It is odd trying to get over my pesky need to know ALL OF HTE FOOTAGE.
For my most recent vid, that wasn’t a problem. I had all of the footage in my head, I had a clear simple purpose and I could make desicions based on what I thought *somebody else* wanted.
This is a very different animal. It’s 26 episodes, plus a movie that is actually an alternate final two episodes to the series. I don’t even know who the audience is. Well, the audience is *me*, really. AMV folks? Dunno. I’m not quite techno-slick enough for them, I don’t think. After Effects is probably not gonna enter into this. I’m submitting to a fan convention dance night, but it’s not an anime fan convention by any means. My beta is the only person in my “besties vidder circle” who’s seen the series, so given that I’m not doing my usual “try to make it accessible for people who haven’t seen the series” there’s really just him as far as feedback.
Fundamentally, I’m still doing what I’ve done for every vid: I’m telling a story. But I’m doing it primarily for me. I’ve never finished a vid for that reason.
The deadline helps, though!
p.s. omg it’s so easy to “fudge” things with animated footage. Especially budget-restricted mid-ninties anime.
Chris Brown is performing at the Grammy Awards and it’s a big fuss! I had to remind myself why so I went and looked up this old newspaper from 2009.

A little bit of bluster and a whole lot of sass.
