Vid Commentary Meme 08

[beccatoria]

I saw this like...a month ago on kiki_miserychic's LJ and thought, wow, awesome! And meant to comment and meant to post it here and like the punk I am, forgot. Anyway, I accidentally stumbled across the meme again while LJ surfing on someone else's LJ and thought, dude, I totally forgot to post that!

It might be more apt to do this once my vidlet series project thingamabob is finished, but frak it. By then I'll probably be burned out with vidding or something, plus I'm bored and trying to stretch out my Saturday because Saturdays > Sundays.

SO:

If you want commentary on aspects of any vid I've made, post a comment. Let me know if there are particular questions you'd like me to answer, choices you'd like to talk about, or elements of the vid you'd like me to expound on (favorite moments, etc.).

I feel vaguely presumptuous assuming anyone really cares about why I did what I did in my vids, but whatever - like my entire LJ, commenting is entirely optional! :D

also because they can't make Tigh the symbol of the jailer and then have her have his baby. Nuh-uh, I won't accept it

OH WORD. One of the things that made me fascinated rather than repulsed by that pairing was my genuine belief that Caprica was the instigator in the sexual part of that relationship and it was genuinely not something Tigh ever expected. Of course, that's not to say that her sexualised response or his violence toward her or, well, the entire damn situation isn't due to exploitation or the things that have been done to her to leave her character in this situation, but it was certainly a different vibe than stockholm syndrome ickiness.

It was more, I'm so desperate for love I'll take anything ickiness...

I'm still disturbed by how hard I fell for that effed up relationship since like...90% of the avenues they can take the story in from here are WORLDS OF SQUICK. *le sigh*

(Gods if I now want to make a vid about Laura-as-jailer and force and power, I will BLAME YOU).

HOW CAN I ENABLE YOU INTO DOING THIS?

Seriously that is...a vid I want more than bread. If I can increase the likelihood of it happening through bribery, encouragement, or sacrificing things to dark gods, TELL ME!

Eh I don't have a song in mind and I'm not very good at finding a song for a vid idea; so far I've only vidded when the song more or less hits me first. And I have like three other vid ideas I want to make! At this point, I'm pretty sure there's actually something WRONG with me. But five minutes of thinking about the idea have me really wanting it to exist, because it could be AWESOME (OMG Laura going from not wanting the gun in season 1 to being totally at ease surrounded by and directing force OMG), so something tells me it will have to happen eventually. Although since it was your awesome thought in the first place, you could very well make it too, you know, and save me the trouble. :D

Late reply!

Stop trying to foist your awesome vid ideas off on me, woman! :p It wasn't really my awesome thought, it was an awesome thought you had extrapolated from my awesome thought but still a) different and b) in the form of a vid!

Seriously, though, I understand what it's like to have a vague vid idea but no concrete idea of how to make it. Just...let it live in your head for a while, and if you want to make it, you'll find the song.

Anyway, if there's something wrong with you, there's something wrong with me, so I'm probably not the person to go to if you think this is a problem... *enables you* :p

Hey, to be fair, this is the first time I tried to foist. The other time, the idea was totally independent but mutual (and, I still vow, will someday exist). :D

I get very impatient. But there's no reason. Laura will always be around rocking my socks and it's not like canon can supersede this idea. So yes, I shall let it simmer and we shall see.
