Notes: I'm still retired. I just wanted to make a Strip Search vid for seekingferret for as long as he's been requesting it, because I was an avid viewer of the show when it first ran and even own the Blu-ray. I thought it would be an out-of-nowhere surprise, but he absolutely no scoped it the first day.

Edited to add: This is the first vid I've made in a long time that wasn't something sitting around from a while ago. Basically the first new idea I've executed in 3-4 years. Song, concept, clipping, editing all happened in about 2-3 days, with some additional toying around with it after.

Also, you should all watch Strip Search, which is an adorable reality competition that's supposed to set web cartoonist's at each other's throats, but honestly they're all in it for the friendship. It's really great.

Notes: Obviously I had to make a vid for sol_se . I mean, obviously. I sneakily asked her for some music recs and then got down to work. The vid came together relatively quickly. Thanks tothirdblindmouse for cheerleading. Thanks to Ray Harryhausen for the memories!

Hey! Looks like I can fess up to my Equinox vids now! I made two:

Under My Skin - Multi-fandom, alien horror in space, for caramarie

And I can now properly thank violace for Infinity, the fucking amazing No Man's Sky vid I received (will update link when signed version goes up). She ROCKS.

Notes: This vid is sort of a dark mirror to Fly Me to the Moon by thirdblindmouse (with her full approval). I knew that this vid was the right call when I told settiai the concept and she responded with the textual version of facepalming. I made the whole thing in about nine days, I want to say. Also, I am very grateful that the trailers for Alien: Covenant have contained so much stuff, because I'm not sure the vid would be nearly as good without those contributions.

Notes: The last time I made a Doctor Who vid, Catherine Tate had just ended her run as Donna Noble. It's been that long. However, in a lot of ways, it's a bit like visiting an old friend (with a new face, obviously). Purplefringe wanted a River Song vid that encompassed all of the Doctors she tangoed with and I did my best to accommodate. Oddly enough, the song didn't come from the Guardians of the Galaxy trailers, but a Youtube trawl I was making for unrelated reasons.

Fandom Catch-up: Festivids and Equinox

2017-02-27T00:12:17Z

Hey guys! In all the personal hub-bub (bub), I forgot to post some fannish things of note.

I made one vid for Festivids this year -- Stronger (Re-Animator series)

I am participating in Equinox Vid Exchange: Vids in Space! Here's my letter.

I'm requesting Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965), Star Trek: DS9, No Man's Sky, Flash Gordon serials, Rocky Jones Space Ranger, Vorkosigan Saga, and a multi-fandom vid about hope and optimism in space (because I want to believe we're going to survive and do better).

Hope that your fannish endeavors are going well!
