Lost Video Island

SuperKC · Posted: Sun Feb 27, 2005 5:08 am Post subject: Your First Time

I have a question (or two) for you seasoned vidders out there:

1. What got you into doing this?
2. What was your first video of/for?
3. Can we see it? Haha.

Wonder if that third one will get any takers.

Hehe. Your first time.

I'm so immature.

Oooh, what a good idea for a thread!

1. It was about 3 years ago, I'd seen a large amount of Buffy vids and thought they were awesome, I had no idea how to make them. A friend of mine sent me a vid she'd made. I was amazed. She sent me the software she'd downloaded and gave me a few tips and before I knew it I was making my first vid! And though it was challenging, it was easier than I thought it would be.

2. Technically my first vid was a Spike centric vid but it's so bad I don't even want to post a link to it. Full of insanely long clips and parts that don't go with the beats. So you're not seeing that one. No no no.

3. But you CAN see my second vid

! It's a comedy Buffy piece featuring all the characters. It turned out not too bad considering it was only my second attempt at vidding. It still has a couple of parts that aren't too great (like a lot of instances where you can see a few frames of another scene, which makes me cringe), but it's passable.

Here it is if you want to see it:

Can't wait to see other people's responses!

Oh man! That was freakin' hilarious! In combination with those song lyrics and those clips it was priceless! Good job on your second vid! (Three years late.)

Use to make videos for GH (started in 2003) because I started seeing them and thinking--g*d the music these people use sucks. Well being the smart lady i am I started making my own introducing them to british rock

. Deleted all my GH videos to make room for my lost ones, but i'm sure i could find a link out there somewhere. My first lost video was too MUSE's Hysteria. Choppy as hell, but it is on the site.

1. I got into this because I am studying film production in school and I've always had a love of everything to do with film and television. I love watching fan made videos. I became a fan of "Roswell" when I first bought the DVD's so I watched a lot of fan videos from that fandom and some were good and some not so much. I also found it fun watching fan videos for shows like "Andromeda", "Dark Angel", and some "Angel" videos. I always found it fun watching them and as can be expected some were awful and some were great. The one thing I noticed almost universally through every fandom is that you had to search forever to find a single fan video. You had to go looking for videos and be prepared for a long search. So I went into my first video knowing that some way I was going to make things a bit easier for the Lost fandom. I didn't know how and it took a good long time to go from my first video to the beginnings of LVI. I think I'd already completed my first 3 videos before LVI started to come together.

But for those that wanted a really long winded explanation there it is

.

2. No one will EVER see my first film project because that dates back to my high school days and well that was a miserable experience that will never see the light of day. I have several school projects but I don't have any on my computer. Maybe one day I'll upload them onto my harddrive and share.

My first fan video was "You Raise Me Up" a Charlie/Claire video. I made it right after "White Rabbit" which I loved (and am probably very alone in that statement from other forums I've read). I was driving and I heard "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban and all of a sudden it just hit me and I could visualize the clips for this song. Unfortunately, it was done at a time when there was very little C/C footage so it's not a very clip rich video. A lot of the scenes run a bit long, but overall I'm still proud of it because for what little footage I had I think it ultimately worked with the song.

3. Yes, you can see it. Just go track down my vidder profile on LVI and check it out.

Now that you guys have my vidding life story I'm back to trying to find a song for a new video (and yes Laura I still plan on doing that one song but I'm currently on a instrumental song kick...so we'll see what song inspires me the most

).

Since they do this frequently on the Lost message boards, let's explore possible anagrams for Calier that resemble anything:

A Relic
Claire

Doing them for lostcalier pulls up way too many possibilities to sort through at this hour.

After checking into it though, I might start using ElkDNAonJar or DrJanOnLake. LOL. Okay, it's officially bedtime.

For some reason I thought "lostcalier" was kind of like a lostkateer. Only instead of mustketeer it was a play on cavalier. But now that I think about it, it might make more sense to be "lostalier." Hmm...

I remember Broken, but I'd love to see your Captain Jack Sparrow vid!

ALSO! Laura, you should track down one of you GH video links... come on. You know you want to!

1.) My dad bought a computer that had WMM already installed on it. That was 6 months ago, so I started vidding about a month after that, when I started to get torrents and stuff.

2.) First video, a Buffy/Angel montage to Breakaway.

3.) Heck no you can't see it! It's so damn horrible! Actually, my first couple of Buffy vids are extremely horrible. (I went thru this phase of patching Moulin Rouge and Rocky Horror Picture Show songs to Buffy clips, much badness ensued). There's so many blips in them that I couldn't get out, and nothing goes where it's supposed to. Overall, they are grade A bad! I've gotten a lot better tho, as I practice and work with it. Now I primarily vid Lost and Carnivale now cause I deleted all my Buffy torrents (cause they took up a TON of space on my hard drive). I also have a few Lord of the Rings vids that are strictly for non-Internet viewing (I made them for my church). But overall, what I'll submit here is what yer gonna see, if they make it of course (sadly, I do not have a bright gleaming website that'll host my vids yet and being the cheapskate I am, I"m not paying for premium hosting
