Vid Commentary Challenge
Sep. 5th, 2011 08:53 pmGetting interested in vids now might not have been such bad timing after all. After I recently found out that vids are awesome (note to self: rec! Or just point people at kuwdora's SGA vid rec list.) I started thinking that there should be a place to discuss them - what does this image do here, do you think this part was meant to be taken seriously, what is this part supposed to do, how does that image fit the line from the song and all that stuff - and I've found one!

vid_commentary hosts a Vid Commentary Challenge where viewers or vidders post about a vid and how they saw it. Quote:
The original objective of this challenge was to write or record commentary for a vid that is not of your own making. Vidders LOVED them, and viewers got to flex their powerful *cough*geek*cough* analytical muscles. This community was and is still not looking for reviews, critiques, or recommendations, we want to know what you, the viewer, believe the vid is doing. How a vid works, and why it works for YOU is what we are curious about!
I'll sign up as soon as I decide which vid I want to do. :D
To be honest, it's a little bit intimidating: most of the comm members seem to be experienced vidders and I've only started regularly viewing vids about a month ago. But there's no wrong way to talk about how I see a vid, so. :)
Sign-ups are until September 10th, Saturday. Apparently not a lot of people have signed up so far, which is sad, because vid comments are fascinating. There's no way to do it wrong, the opportunity to talk about a vid you love and, in the process, watch it many times and discover old and new things - you could try it, too!
