Hey gang, this should be short, since I only made four this year:

Stronger (Re-Animator)
Fox on the Run (Doctor Who)
Under My Skin (Multi - aliens)
Uptown Funk (Multi - wuxia)
 

Favorite
This is a really difficult choice, because each of these contains moments that delight me and moments that make me go "Make better choices." I think, however, that Under My Skin probably wins just based on sheer audacity of concept.

Least Favorite
Also Under My Skin, because there's a whole 'nother section of the vid that never got made (after the current ending, the song actually fakes you out and launches into a drum fill and another round of the chorus, which I was going to use for aliens on earth). Deadlines can be a bummer.

Most Successful
I make most of my multifandom vids as a way to explore corners of cinema I might have otherwise bypassed. In that regard, Uptown Funk was most successful. I went from having seen one wuxia film to having seen... many. Many many many. Also, people danced at Club Vivid and I was able to share some wuxia love with Vividcon.

Most Underappreciated by the Universe
Each vid received its due in turn. The least popular one is probably Stronger, but I'm happy with the response it did get.

Most Fun to Make
It's a tie between Under My Skin, where I spent most of the time going "OMG I am a monster and I love it," and Uptown Funk, which contains some of my very favorite motion-to-music matches and clip transitions in my entire catalog.

Hardest Vid to Make
Stronger. I was convinced it wasn't going to work. It nearly never happened. I technically defaulted on Festivids!

The Things I Learned This Year / Planning for Next Year
I think my time as a capital-V Vidder are coming to a close. June 2018 will mark my 10th anniversary as a vidder and it's not a bad time to go out. I'm going to do some last hurrahs for Vividcon Finale (and probably Vid Roulette, but the movies I was given are difficult at best), but after that, I think I'm going to turn my focus to my Dungeons and Dragons obsession and maybe my social life.

I hope you don't stop vidding- I love so many of your vids. "Under My Skin" and "Uptown Funk" were both favorites of mine this year. But you do what makes you happy.

Re: Vid Roulette, the risk of difficulty is sort of the point, but I'm sorry you're finding it difficult.
