The Sequel Week 6
Sep. 25th, 2019 09:17 amWeek 6 Draft
In six weeks I am up to >50 fandoms collected. For context, it took me about three months to hit 50 fandoms in Warning: Might Lead to Mixed Dancing, and there was a lot more low-hanging fruit that time. There's a few reasons I'm faster this time. One is the help of so many of you. Another is all the stuff I learned about source collection while making WMLTMD. I have a lot more resources for finding source now than I did when I started that process. Third is my overall vidding workflow is different. I didn't know what I was doing the last time, so I ripped all of my sources completely and kept them on my hard drive, and was a lot more thorough in tracking anything dance or dance-related in all my sources. This time around I know what I want. I'm clipping the dance shots and tossing the rest of the source, and letting my collection of clips be my database. It's letting me move faster without being overwhelmed. Fourth, I think I have collected more movies this time and less TV shows, and many of the TV shows I have clipped are the ones that I've watched in the intervening years and made specific notes about what episodes to clip. Last time around I remember I spent a couple weeks hunting for Ziva dancing in NCIS, a week hunting for Josh dancing in the West Wing, and a few other shows required big time investments.
As a result of this progress, I have 'filled' a complete timeline. Enjoy! I know I am. It's important to me, since so much of this project involves the less fun parts of vidding, to make sure I have some fun to inspire me to keep going. A lot of the timeline is wrong for what I'm trying to do, but still!
But filling the timeline has been helpful in giving me intuitions toward the actual timeline. I'm pretty convinced at this point that I do have about ten seconds of space for cartoon dancing. I have some ideas toward opening clips, some ideas toward concluding clips, some ideas for some specific musical cues and how to handle them. I've found a few sequences of matched clips I want to keep. I don't know that it's in it's final spot, but a sequence that moves from non-Jewish Rachel Bilson character dancing with a Jew to Jewish Rachel Bilson character dancing with a Jew gives me joy. As does the pairing of Rodney Dangerfield's character in Caddyshack with Jackie Mason's character from Caddyshack II.
And I was amused to watch back to back movies where Jews dance to Sister Sledge's "We Are Family"... The Birdcage and Private Benjamin. Both of those scenes are likely to be set to the lyric "Ki Kulanu Mishpacha" because the main reason I vid is to slip in inside jokes nobody will get.
