seekingferretMy Vids for 2024
סיפור הגולם The Golem and the Jinni - Festivid
Ken Sucks Barbie- Festivid
Luminous Beings Star Wars
Burning Down the House Grey's Anatomy
Only 4 vids, the least I've made in a year since I started doing this meme, and this is my tenth year filling out this meme! But it's been quite a year, so my lack of vidding productivity is not surprising. And also סיפור הגולם was quite a consuming project.
Favorite
"Luminous Beings" was a vid I needed to make. The creative experience was one of the most powerful vidding processes I've ever had. At first, every time I rewatched a draft I was crying, and by the end of the process I'd healed enough to not be crying constantly anymore.
Least Favorite
"Ken Sucks" was fun to make but pretty inconsequential? Always my least favorite question of the year. Actually, I guess I always try to answer based on the vids I posted, but I only post the vids I like. I have several vid drafts in some kind of progress that I am not happy with.
Most Successful
Gratifyingly, סיפור הגולם, which was such a personal project that I'm surprised people were moved or impressed by it. So many of the comments were "I haven't read the book, but I still liked this," and that is such a weirdly enjoyable thing to see, that even though I made this with a tiny audience in mind, I did so with sufficient conviction that it was appealing to people outside the target audience.
Most Underappreciated by the Universe
Yeah, I dunno. Maybe "Burning Down the House"? I don't feel tapped into Grey's fandom, wherever it might be, so my Grey's fannishness is always a little awkward.
Most Fun to Make
"Burning Down the House" was a really joyful vidding process, the song was fun and let me build really good motion stuff. It's funny, I always dread vidding Grey's because of how much of it there is, and then I always really like doing it.
Hardest Vid to Make
Obviously סיפור הגולם, but in a satisfying way? Every time I had a problem, I figured out a way to get around the problem. I think a lot of stuff I did last year for Bicycle Race and The Spinning Plates Reel turned out in surprising ways to suggest editing techniques that were useful for constructed reality stuff.
The Things I Learned This Year
Lots of new DVR tricks. This might be the first year I didn't do any vidding in Kdenlive, though I was thinking of going back to it for some quick things coming up. DVR is just so much more flexible and powerful once you get comfortable.
My Goals from Last Year
I made a Festivid, but I skipped Equinox because I didn't really like the theme. I continued to defer my MCU vid but Cap4 will be out soon! I did some work on the Good Place vid but need to get back to that. I did not return to the Coldplay Suite except in the sense that the Coldplay Suite is very much The Vid About My Job and so some part of my brain is constantly working on it. So I think there's going to be some repeat goals, I didn't make a lot of progress on my more ambitious goals this year.
Planning for Next Year
Target vids for 2024:
-At least 1 Festivid
-At least 1 Equinox vid
-My Captain Americas vid.
-A The Good Place vid (FroYo)
-My Miranda Bailey vid
Also I really want to get an NAS and get it set up to help organize vidding and other file storage this year. That's probably the real goal.

My Goals from Last Year
Target vids for 2025:
-At least 1 Festivid
-At least 1 Equinox vid
-an MCU vid, but I dunno, last year I deferred my MCU vid until Cap4 comes out and now Cap4 isn't coming out until next year, so...
-a TSCC vid, possibly the Coldplay Suite?
-a The Good Place vid
