Fly my pretty fly!
So finally the vid I’ve been working on intermittently since January is done. Done and uploading to VividCon as a non-attending premiere. Yay!
But already there’s somewhat of an empty nest feeling in its wake. What next?
Back in April when I thought it might be almost done and posted in the normal way the follow up I had planned was a BSG threesome/Three vid mostly because I needed to vid something faster. Less serious, more shiny and not requiring seven seasons (plus some comics and chunks of AtS) of source material. I have that clipped and the song edited but now feel a terrible reluctance to get down and actually do it. It’s the song mostly, I like it but it’s turned out to be more of a surface attraction and it’s not going to be able to sustain the level of repetitive obsession that vidding requires. I also think there’s too much going on in BSG to want to vid any of it before the end is clearer. So no Battlestar, which also puts the class struggle with robots option up against the wall.
I had a Heroes idea. Two actually one about Nikki and the other a sort of Guinness advert crossover about Mohinder’s evolutionary imperatives. But about halfway through season two the love is just not there. It’s patchy, there are still characters and story lines I care about and potential for more now Hiro is back but the Nikki vid is definitely off. Which leaves, and I fear this, a completely new idea about Faith and before this Slayer opus I was so not the person to vid Faith. Probably still not but there’s this perfect, perfect song, which is Faith and no-one else and comics Faith. Comics!Faith wants me to make this vid. It just has to be a really bad idea.

You. Must. Make. This. VID.

You *are* Comics!Faith admit it. But seriously the one problem with vidding her is the sheer weight of brilliant viddage that precedes any attempt. Your Living Dead Girl for one. And all I really have to bring to the table is a convert's zeal but whatever. Would Faith care? Just do it.

I know what you mean about the weight of previous Faith vids (believe me! I felt that way a lot when doing Living Dead Girl!) My policy? Do your own thing, and your unique voice will bring something new and worthwhile to it.
Personally I think you're the best Buffy vidder I've ever seen, so I'm just beside myself thinking about you doing a Faith vid. I know you'll treat my girl well.
