I am in a terrible mood and discouraged about the vid I'm (not) working on, so let's resurrect this meme:

Pick any section of a vid or a paragraph or any passage less than 500 words from any fanfic I've written and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet of what I was thinking when I made or wrote it, why I wrote it, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the vid or fic, and anything else you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Thanks! That was what I wanted. I tend to write a tight third-person (very focused on immersing you in the POV character) and that carried over to vids. Sometimes too much, because I can get so focused on showing what the character sees that I don't show enough shots of the actual character, which is not something that works in visual media. (I know there's that one film noir which worked around a change in actor by showing you strictly what the character would see and never showing the actor's face, but there's a reason nobody followed up the experiment by doing that for more than a few moments in a row.)

I tried Continuum, but it didn't work for me.

Character studies are AWESOME. Yes.


.....for all its flaws (omg the last ep with the giant guy who was, what, eating girls dumb enough to Internet?) I really wish I had The Inside on DVD. Nichols was so great.

Me too. And really, I would love to have decent versions of all of the episodes -- some of them were so degraded they were a struggle to work with, and every torrent I tried was just the same versions seeded by different people.
