beccatoriaShamelessly stolen from frayadjacent and chaila! Give me a number (or a few) and I will try to answer things!

YAY ME.

Date: 2014-09-23 10:23 pm (UTC)I will be honest I don't always have a game plan going in. I usually have like...a starting clip or two, and then I wing it? Like I genuinely find, having started, ideas present themselves. Editing structures reveal themselves. Ideas feed ideas?
But it can be overwhelming when you don't know the source so well which increasingly is what happens to me and I think it's part of why I've slowed down. I end up reviewing more for inspiration before picking the next clip, etc. I mean, in totality, I suppose that's just time I'd otherwise have to spend clipping but it still feels slower.
Then again, I recently thought, "Shit I should just clip for this, it'd really help me do this faster, because I want it to be real and I can't stand how long it's gonna take me otherwise," and I got so far as opening the first episode in my clipping programme and PANICKED.
Like it suddenly seemed so overwhelming and I couldn't face deciding what I should clip vs what I shouldn't, like what if I need that thing I've decided not to clip! So I gave up and went back to my old style. Which is going slowly, but it's going?
...I have the worst vidding method. *facepalm*

Date: 2014-09-26 12:56 am (UTC)I really do want to get back to that BtVS project and use a method more like yours, because I know that show so well and it would just be so much faster than going through all the episodes and clipping. Which I did for all my previous BtVS vids. Clipping for Tightrope took like 3 months or something. That was all I did, vidding wise, and I did it probably 3-6 days per week. /o\ I DON'T NEED TO DO THAT AGAIN.
