CON.TXT vidshow & title cards

franzeskaOops. I totally forgot the other thing I found interesting at the dead duck: Someone asked for more vids to include title cards. I rarely make these, and it's almost entirely because I am lazy. I did do some for my MediaWest DVDs because that show has no program and most people go away having little idea what they were watching or who it was by. Also, since I was doing a long block of vids myself, I could see where a longer pause or clearer credits would help the overall flow.
In the style of show done at con.txt, the vidder doesn't know where in the show their vid will fall or what it will be near, and the audience is often provided with a clear program listing exactly what's being shown, in what order, and who it's by. I usually feel presumptuous adding dead space to those shows with credits since the VJ will already be adding whatever pauses they want between vids.
On the other hand, if viewers are requesting title cards, maybe I should make more of an effort.
For me, as a viewer, I don't think title cards would have helped the con.txt show this year. I was in a good mood that night and enjoyed the show, but it felt quite weak to me. The vid I sent was something I did in a couple of days right before the deadline. I never felt like it completely gelled; rewatching it, I don't see specific errors I want to fix, but it doesn't move me, and I normally love rewatching my own work. I think the idea needed longer to percolate. I had two reasons for making and sending it: First, I dislike sending vids to cons if I think the audience has already seen them. Second, I wanted to show people that the show exists at all (i.e. it's a pimping vid, but not a hard sell one). I also made it a weaker vid by avoiding a lot of good material with female characters that would have fit the song better and that was more visually interesting because the con.txt show is slash only. (Though given how many people there ship all kinds of OT3s and other groups of characters, I should probably have just put the women in.) In retrospect, seeing the rest of the vids, I wish I had selected an older, stronger vid of mine instead of adding to the overall "meh" flavor of the show.
OK, so what was wrong with the show? For me, it wasn't just about the strength of individual vids but also show order (intentional), the number of vids total that felt similar to me with nothing to balance them (show order but unintentional), and the fact that the most common tone was more depressing or contemplative. I was in the con suite/noisy room. That would have been a great environment for big, funny, dumb, over-the-top vids. I was expecting a lot of noise and laughter, but the room was almost silent during most of the show. Since I enjoyed the con so much, it has risen up my list of deservingness of my vidding time and effort; next time, I will plan farther ahead and make something that is both a lot funnier and a lot better revised as the show deserved.
The vids:
First Half:
I Just Had Sex: I have now seen this vid approximately 1341341451541 times, but it remains funny. Everyone cackled at the Loki WTF faces, as usual. The sound wasn't up that loud, and I found that some of the jokes were getting swallowed in people laughing at the previous one. (I guess this would be an example of a vid that depends rather a lot on lyrics, though it's really the reactions that make it so funny.)
Your Spanish Lullaby: Ooh, Queen of Swords. This awesome vid shows how completely, totally GAY this show was. The show can try to pretend there was a male love interest all it wants: We know who was really doing it. I found the music choice a little bit jarring in terms of associations, but the sound worked well. Great editing. There was visible interlacing all over the place, but the footage quality was still much, much better than I've previously seen for Queen of Swords. (I'm assuming the interlacing was an unavoidable consequence of what footage is available, not vidder oversight.)
Games: My vid. With an aspect ratio problem. (100% vidder oversight.) Go me. I thought this was a weird placement. I'd have split up the similar-looking historical Spanish shows that most of the audience hadn't watched instead of putting them together.
It's Better to Have Loved: I recall this one getting huge applause, but it made very little impression on me. I guess it was a serious vid, and my interest in serious Sherlock vids is low at best.
Tonight (I'm Fucking You): LOL. I've seen this one a billion times too, but it's still funny. I have huge problems identifying POV in this vid. I had to see it dozens of times before I realized that, of course, the person shown on 'you' is the one being addressed, not the one singing. I think it's something about the facial expressions combined with the onset of lyrics that makes me think the first person I see must be the singer (or, well, the POV character). Maybe it's just me. It's not like it's hard to identify who's who logically by looking at lyric matches, but somehow I don't feel it.
No You Girls: I think this was the fun crossdressing vid? We played guess the fandom a lot with this one. It was nice. I think the song didn't grab me, but I'll have to look up what it actually was to be sure.
Castor's Sparkling Diamonds: I liked this one a lot. It had a lot of fabulous closeups of a scenery-chewing ham, which made it easy for me to get into despite never having seen the movie.
Sit Down By the Fire: Ah, my nemesis. Now knowing who Sebastian Stan is, I had a slightly easier time following this vid, but it still does nothing for me. (This is the one that every single person at VividCon other than me thought was the best thing ever. I'm the lone grouch. Ha ha ha.) I remain unable to tell whether some of the shots are of the same guy or not.
The Only Exception: Aww. This is a cute vid. I would have been more interested if I had seen the source or had not already seen the vid a bunch of times.
No, I Don't Remember: Very nice. Lost on me since I see X-Men First Class and go "Augh!", but it's a gorgeous vid.
Soldier: I liked this better but mostly had the same reaction I had at Escapade: This vid makes me very, very curious about what happens in the show, but I still can't get into the vid itself. I'll have to rewatch it after I've seen Haven and see what I think then. (I'm guessing I will be less "meh" and more with the slobbering all over the internet about how their love is True And Destined and OT3ful, but we shall see.) Certain People finally cornered me at con.txt and forced me to watch the scene that most struck me the first time I watched the vid. What do you know: it totally is exactly what it looked like! I wasn't sure since it goes by so fast in the vid and it seemed like a surprising plot development (I should know better given the genre of the show). Also, YES FINE OK, I obviously need to watch Haven.
The Homo Song: Given the concept of the lyrics, I was expecting a faster, bouncier, more upbeat song. It was cool to see femslash for a cartoon fandom as a change of pace in the show, but because I didn't like the song that much, I ended up feeling like the vid dragged after a while. It felt kind of repetitive, though it's possible what I was taking for repeats of the same scenes are actually different significant plot points in the source. It's a lot harder to tell different episodes of a cartoon apart if you haven't seen it.
Crush Story: Everyone loved this one. I think it's cute, but I haven't seen the show, and I don't have any investment in this relationship. By this point, I probably would have felt that most vids dragged anyway.
I Do the Dumbest Things for You: I don't like SGA very much, but Rodney is a great fit for this song. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this despite competition from that Doctor Who vid that I adore to the same song. Well done, vidder!
Second Half:
Whenever, wherever: Another one I've seen a number of times, but I love it, and it made a strong start to the second half. I could hear a lot of muttering going around the audience as we started to the effect of: "Twilight? Wait, did someone really...?" The "Team Edward/Jacob" text at the end got a big laugh.
Soccer Practice: I don't like SGA, and I've only seen the first season, but this was fucking awesome. Ridiculous song. Ridiculous reaction shots. Lots of different characters prancing around being ridiculous. I wish there had been more of this kind of thing in the show.
Whole New Way: I think everyone loved this one. It mainly reminded me that I need to see the second RDJ movie and that Sherlock fandom makes me want to throw myself under a bus, but that's not the fault of the vid. That's the impression that stuck with me, but rewatching, I now remember that the T-Rex got a big laugh, that I loved the music choice, and that this vid has some seriously awesome effects and uses of text. Lots of the text got a big laugh too. ("Gary Stu" ha ha ha.)
Deep: Augh, augh, Farscape torture vid. This was visually interesting and well done, but I felt like a little of it went a long way for me since I haven't seen the source. It's not that the vid dragged per se, but the most I was going to get out of it was that Farscape has angst and that creepy dude who reminds me of Voldo, and I could get that pretty quickly.
867-5309: Yuck. Hated the cover of this song. I was hoping for a funny crackvid. The fact that I stopped watching SPN in disgust ages ago makes me... not the most receptive audience for SPN vids.
In Shadow: Sorry, guys: I did not like this one. I once shipped Jack/Daniel like burning, but my memory of this vid is that it felt extremely slow and long at a point where I was already checking my watch. I can't remember it well enough to say more, and I'm too lazy to log into whatever site it's on to preview/download.
Do It Like a Dude: Yay! This is a fun vid. Again, it's one I've seen quite recently and remember well. Too bad I haven't seen the source, so it wasn't enough to re-involve me in the show and chase away my growing "meh" feeling. (If you're thinking there's a pattern where I always like talitha78's vids no matter how many times I've seen them, uh... duh?)
Jet Boy Jet Girl: I enjoyed this one but don't remember it. Someone commented that it seemed like it really required contextual knowledge, which I agree with, though I still got something out of it.
Boom: I was completely confused by this, as was most of the audience. It's a vid with a fairly specific concept, which it executes well, but not knowing that concept, I kept expecting it to be a pairing vid or to have a plot. However, it has big hair, gross violence, and 80s awfulness all over the place, so I was mostly going "Is that Terri Hatcher? LOLOLOLOL!" the whole time. Proof that sufficient EIGHTIES trumps everything else for me.
Kiss with a Fist: Yet another vid I've seen and remember well, mostly because of the hilarious comments at VVC. It's not a source I've seen or care about, but I like the vid.
Superman: Yuck, yuck, yuck. This music choice freaked out a bunch of people. I wasn't upset by it, but the beginning of the vid made me assume it was a campy crack parody, which it most certainly wasn't. It went on and on and on in the same dimly-lit sets in an incomprehensible muddle of things that were probably extremely moving and significant if you had the slightest idea who these two people were. All I know is that Self Destructive Jerkass mistreated The Girl a lot and then someone killed themselves and boy do I never, ever want to watch Queer As Folk. Sorry, vidder, but this was the wrong audience for this vid, and you got stuck at the end of a long and not very cheerful show.
The Test: The audience perked up for this one and even requested an encore after the show. It's a good vid. I wasn't as into it as everyone else.
Somewhere Out There: LOL. Adorable. Fandom, you are seriously testing my resolve not to watch any sitcoms. I hate sitcoms. Why are you doing this to me? This was a good choice to end on. I wish there had been more like this in the show overall.
So, yeah, boy do I wish I'd sent something much funnier and punchier to a source people knew, not half-baked prettiness to a song in Spanish. Next time, Gadget. Next time!
In the style of show done at con.txt, the vidder doesn't know where in the show their vid will fall or what it will be near, and the audience is often provided with a clear program listing exactly what's being shown, in what order, and who it's by.

Date: 2012-06-22 02:29 am (UTC)Most iterations of Sherlock Holmes have fandoms with a complicated relationship to their particular version of Irene Adler, and this one actually does really well there overall, but the fandom's unending and pathetic hatred for Sally Donovan is disgusting. It's not everyone in the fandom, obviously, but I grew bored with people over-identifying with Sherlock and crying about the mean girls in high school very quickly. As a show, it does interesting things with female antagonists (not villains, but people who are unfriendly to Sherlock or in his way in various senses). As a fandom, it's full of twits who can't see that Sherlock is more like every sexist douche guy women ever have to face in the workplace than like us geek girls ourselves.
I absolutely loved the show and watched all of it close together, but my enthusiasm just couldn't be sustained when most of the fic and most discussions are all about how nothing is Sherlock's fault, the poor w00bie, when this is one of the most assholish incarnations of the character ever. I find what they've done with him in canon really interesting, but this is not a character I want to see excuses for.
It's also full of asexuality fic (not a bad thing, just not interesting to me), extremely fanon-tastic Moriarty/Moran stuff, and the occasional sanctification of the female characters who are in no danger of getting laid with a lead guy (at the expense of anyone else with a vagina). Oh, and there's the Superwholock phenomenon. I don't think everyone finds the fandom all super awful or anything, but after the first excitement of watching the show wore off, I found it was not for me.

Date: 2012-06-19 02:22 pm (UTC)1) It clearly sets your vid apart from what came before, and can serve as a visual palate cleanser for that.
2) It gives you an opportunity to set the tone and give additional information about how you want the viewer to "read" your vid -- not just by showing hey, this is the character this is about, but whether it's a character study, a relationship vid, a world vid, etc. Granted, you can also intentionally mislead your viewer (or unintentionally) by, for instance, having a cutesy title card when the vid itself is not really cutesy. On a pro scale, the initial credits for the Norton Hulk movie gave the audience everything they needed to know about the Hulk's story, so that actual movie time didn't have to be used, they could just move onward. And the Game of Thrones credit sequence gives clues as to what the episode is going to be dealing with.
3) Even if you have a program, if you have to fumble and try and look at it during the vidshow, then you potentially miss part of the vid. An initial title card can clearly let the viewer know the fandom, the vidder, and the song. Of course, if you don't want them to know that, then end credits make sense.
There's nothing wrong with end credits; I do hate it when vidders don't have credits at all. I think it's an assumption that hey, all the info you need is on the website/vid post, so why waste time with credits? But a lot of people download and don't watch immediately, and then may have no clue who even did a vid, let alone any other information. I think it's a valuable element of the vid that gives the vidder more flexibility and opportunity; Merryish's Numb3rs vid and Lum's Matrix vid that both used elements of the show's/movie's credits/style were an enjoyment in themselves.
no subject
Date: 2012-06-19 02:26 pm (UTC)This is another thing that I think has been impacted by the online experience/people not going to as many cons. I don't think many newer vidders really consider the oldtime distinction between "con vids" and "living room vids". It's not that both can't be appreciated in either space, but having seen a LOT of vids pre-con, then at the con, for VVC, it's amazing how a vid that seems totally flat on your own can really go big in front of an audience -- often broader humor does this. And gorgeous, intricate vids may not play as well in a group, because the environment isn't as receptive, although those may be the vids people watch and enjoy more in a smaller setting.

Date: 2012-06-25 02:23 am (UTC)Honestly, I think part of the reason that funny vids go over well is because they tend to be done to songs where the singer enunciates a specific story clearly, so people know wwhat's going on because the song is telling them.

Date: 2012-06-25 02:07 am (UTC)867-5309: Yuck. Hated the cover of this song. I was hoping for a funny crackvid.
IA - when I saw the initial "867-5309=CAS-TIEL" title card, I was hoping for a humor vid about all the times Dean bugs Castiel over the phone, and instead it was a weirdly dark vid that seemed like it was about Castiel abusing Dean.
The QaF vid to Eminem initially made me relieved that it wasn't to that mopey song by Five For Fighting, and then increasingly bored. I may be one of the few fangirls who doesn't dislike Eminem, but that song's probably one of the longest things by him that isn't "Stan," and it needed to be cut down to at least half that length. Even without the lyrics/musician and audience mismatch, the vid was way, way too long.
I once shipped Jack/Daniel like burning, but my memory of this vid is that it felt extremely slow and long
No slash vid show is complete without a long, slow Jack/Daniel vid to a slow, sappy song.
(I missed the Piratas vid, btw - I need to look it up online and watch it)
