Favourite vid
It’s a toss-up between I Want to Destroy Something Beautiful, and If It’s All I Got. This has nothing to do with Lee Byung-hun’s face; I was just very happy with those two vids and proud of how they turned out.
Most successful vid
Lucky Strike, which was in Festivids that year.
Vid least appreciated by the universe
If It’s All I Got. I know, I know, this is always true for movie vids, unless maybe they are part of an exchange, or maybe if there is a franchise involved. I do it to myself, though.
Most fun vid
Lucky Strike. Neither of our leads dies or horribly betrays the other! It wins by default!
Vid with the single sexiest moment
Nightwalker, except if you want me to pick a moment I am going to feel overly exposed. Not one of the obviously sexual moments, we could say :P
Hardest vid to make
I Want to Destroy Something Beautiful. Not because it was hard to make technically or anything. But I did put more conscious thought into structure and some of my technical choices than I usually would do.
Thinking some more though, Nightwalker had the biggest ‘barrier to entry’. It was straightforward once I was making it, but it involved the most source, and I also had to rewatch and finish Hannibal in order to make it. There were also a couple of points when I was making it where I was struggling, and wondering whether using Killing Eve as well would make all my problems go away – except that would have changed my central conceit, and if I opened the vid up to that there were other sources I would have had to consider as well. So that was a bit of a battle.
Most unintentionally telling vid
NO UNINTENTIONAL TELLING, ONLY INTENTIONAL.
That is, With Knives is a vid made using only shots that have blood in them from my other vids. So I guess you could say it is an intentionally telling vid made from unintentionally telling source material :P
Things I learned
I should try and acquire all my source at the same frame rate … sigh …
Things to work on
Relating to an in-progress Evangelion vid: incorporating still images in with other sources. I’ve never done it before! I don’t watch a lot of comic vids either to give me a sense of how to go about things (recs welcome).
For 2026
Finish the Evangelion vid! Or at least, make some progress so I can come back and finish it another year :P
