I just uploaded my first fan video to LVI, and I am absolutely sick to my stomach now...
When I first heard "Penelope's Song" by Loreena McKennitt, I knew it was a natural DesPenny video, and I have spent months and months imagining one in my head. Two weeks ago I sat down to finally attempt it. The first thing I did was come here to see if anyone else had used the song, and I could not find it. (I also Googled it and checked YouTube, to no avail). So, I decided to go for it.
I almost had my video done and then decided to hold out for the new episode that was about to air. I ended up using a pivotal scene in that episode for the end of my video, and I did it in a very specific way... letting the sound of the clip come through the music. I had thought my idea was creative and original, and was very proud of my first video.
Today I came here to see that my video had posted and noticed that there were other new DesPenny videos. I watched them and discovered that I was one of several other people who did the exact same thing with that end clip!!!!!!!!
Does this happen often?
Will people think I copied the idea? Or will they know that, since so many did the same thing, it was just a coincidence inspired by the lovely scene that clearly touched a lot of us?
Help!!! I am sick and thinking about asking the LVI Council to remove my video.
Thank you for any thoughts...

Hey Julia!
That scene is so emotional and great that its common that a lot of vidders would think to put that at the end for the finale! I didn't think you copied the other vidders just as I'm sure they don't think that you copied them. I wouldn't stress about it sweetie.

Your reply was so sweet and genuine, it made me feel a thousand times better!
This was kind of a scary thing to happen on my very first submission. LOL!
Thank you for your input.

Hey
Yeah I used that ending too and I don't think that anyone will think that you copied it's just such a great scene to use and I think you need the voice over aswell
Don't worry about it |

*holds up hand* I'm one of the guilty ones, too... I haven't vidded for Lost in nearly a year, then got totally inspired by "The Constant" and did "Only Hope" in just 3 days (which is unheard of speed for me, lol! ). Then when I submitted it, it came on site with both KajaM's "Save You" and Uruviel's "On My Own" nearly literally at the same time! (They were literally just minutes apart. ) We couldn't have planned it that way if we would've tried! And Kaja and I both used that ending scene as well.
Anyway, that scene is going to get used a lot because it's SO wonderfully emotional and just such a great Despenny scene. So don't worry about that at all, nobody will possibly think you were copying.
I haven't had the chance to see your vid just yet but I will ASAP! I just wanted to add my two cents in that you don't need to stress about this at all. We completely understand how you feel and we know what it's like for your vid to show up kinda wearing the same dress as another vid! Except in this case, there's a bunch of us who showed up in the same dress, lol! But hey, when it's a great dress, we might as well all wear it!

Awww yeah like everyone said, everyone does that all the time!!! No one will think your copying, the scene was so great its bound to be used in every despenny vid to come! Ive actually unintentionally in one of my vids did an effect/ scene that was already done in another vid. I didnt find out till a few months after i finished it! So dont fret, your good! |

I wish you guys could see how big I'm smiling right now...
Have I mentioned how awesome you guys are here at LVI? I was sooo freaked out earlier, but I have had nothing but kindness, reassurance, and encouragement. It has made such a huge difference and has really inspired me to keep at it.

Hehehe! That cracked me up so bad, and you're SOOO right! That was exactly the feeling! Although, like you said, it's really more a statement on how great the "dress" is than anything else.
I'm glad I wasn't alone in being so inspired by that scene. Maybe that also means I wasn't the one bawling like a weirdo during it. Heheh.

Sorry I'm late here, but as everyone has assured you - This happens ALL the time. I can't even tell you how many times I've made a vid and then watched another with a very similar idea, manip, etc. We don't think you're uncreative or are copying anyone, so don't you worry. It was a sweet scene and an obvious choice, so no worries.
Btw, welcome! _________________
