Humbled by the top fan vidders RE: SPN vids

[Dina Lerret]

Oh man, I must be a masochist... I watched Charmax and Luminosity's
vids again.  These vidders are considered among the best in any fandom
and I know after over five years of going in and out of the vidding
circles.

These gals produce *amazing* vids and watching them is like they do it
so *right* and I can't reach that level of artistry.

Charmax's Protege Moi (Placebo) SPN vid is partly in French and partly
in English.  Editing is amazing, starting with clip choices to color
palette.  She opted for a B&W color scheme and selective color
screening (I have the notes on how to do it in After Effects) to
emphasize red and you can see the bonds shared by the Winchesters.

Luminosity's Supernatural vid, Bricks (remix of Aretha Franklin and
Metallica).  I attended her convention panel on color palettes and
utilization of harmonious color schemes, and she *definitely* has an
incredible sense of aesthetics.  A high energy vid that includes what
makes SPN 'spooky'. :-)


If you're even remotely into watching vids, doesn't matter if you're
into Supernatural or not, these gals have done a wonderful job.

Heh, since Lum isn't here, even her hair is amazing because she's let
it go naturally grey with a mixture of her own color in these
cascading waves.  Looks *good* on her.  I'm in my late twenties and
have been dying my hair since my early twenties to cover grey hair.

The upside about being in the SPN fandom is that there are so many
places that have uploaded the episodes.  Most under f-lock but a few
like http://dunkle-feuer.livejournal.com/348327.html exist--hm, anime
LJ banner and jokes about Jensen Ackles having 'anime' eyes, wonder if
an anime fan started that one.  Ackles certainly has very pretty green
eyes, even when they're swollen from crying:

2-3 eps this season.
