Vividcon Premieres Vid: Say Aha

When working out a vid concept for gwyneth's auction vid, this idea for a Ripley vid emerged. I was really keen but Gwyn preferred for me to vid The Navigator (link soon) so I did. After the auction vid was done I figured I'd make this for the Premieres show. Problem was the Premieres deadline had passed. So, the day after the Premiere's deadline, I asked for an 'extension' and was given two days to make this :)

I'm happy with how its came out even though it was rushed. I've always wanted to do a Ripley vid and as it happens Gwyn liked the result too!

Vividcon Auction Vid #1: The Death and The Navigator

Gwyn won me for VVC's Auction this year and had a long list of awesome things for me to vid. The first on the list was this movie that I had never seen about a Medieval village in fear of the Black Death. Interesting visuals and an unusual story later, I decided it would be good to try this out. At first I was going to vid it to Iron by Woodkid but when playing with the footage on the timeline it wasn't working and this song came to mind. I'm pretty happy with the end result. Enjoy!

Vividcon Auction Vid #2: Mama Said Knock You Out

Another Auction vid? Well, I stepped in to do a pinch hit for Voleuse and I'm so glad I did. Becca and I were discussing the awesomeness of the Bei Fongs and I suggested this song and... yeah. Major thanks have to go to BigBigTruck as this obviously riffs quite heavily on her classic AMV.

For those of you who don't know the shows, the little girl is blind and is the canonical mother of the 50-something woman who is a police officer. Oh, and they are earth and metal benders. Just watch the shows already.

Spoilers for both shows, esp Korra
