Vidukon Panel - call for participants?
Mar. 16th, 2019 09:24 pm....so it is apparently exactly one year since I last posted on here?? Oops. I have written many posts in my head about many things but not, you know, actually done anything about sharing them with the world. Ah well. As per this time last year, I am lured back on to Dreamwidth to talk about VIDUKON.
I've decided this year to make life especially terrifying for myself, and for the first time ever I am going to be running a PANEL. This is what Captain Pike on Star Trek Discovery would call 'a deeply insane plan'. I truly hate and fear talking in front of groups of people, I hate and fear being the centre of everyone's attention, and honestly this is probably going to be a complete disaster and ruin the whole con for everyone but I am DOING IT ANYWAY, FOR REASONS UNKNOWN /o\
The panel is going to be called something along the lines of Anatomy of a Vid and I am hoping it's going to be three people each taking 15-20 minutes to enthusiastically analyse the structure/content/editing/etc of a vid they really love. I will be one of those people (aaaaaaaah) and I would love to find two more volunteers! Otherwise my long-suffering friends are going to be roped in :P (thanks guys)
I have already chosen the vid I am going to be talking about (and have the vidder's permission). It's a character study vid, and I'll be enthusing about the clip choices, about the vid's structure and the clever methods it uses to make its points, and the way it vids both with and against the source canon. Somehow I will be condensing all my MANY, MANY thoughts and feelings about how this brilliant vid is made into just 15 minutes of actual words.
Ideally, I'd love to showcase three very different vids - so the others could be vids that use a lot of special effects, or have interesting sound editing or colouring; they could be shippy vids or comedy vids or constructed reality vids or recruiter vids or meta vids or...anything else you can think of. They can be vids by someone else (provided the speaker has the vidder's permission) or vids by the panellist themselves (which I would love!) and in an ideal world they would be for a reasonably big fandom that it's likely at least some people in the room will be familiar with.
So, er, if you'd like to join in...message me? Comment here or dm me and we can chat! (aaaaaaaaah)
