and sometimes you get blown up

How productive am I today? CRAZY PRODUCTIVE. At least fannishly.

So here's the thing. This is not the sort of vid you would ever expect me to make. Completely different style and song than I would ever dream up myself, and that was ridiculously challenging for me. Not in a bad way, mind! It is good to expand one's creative horizons.

So let's call this an interesting experiment. And it's all for newredshoes, who did dream up this song/fandom pairing and style and focus. Since she's the one who turned me on to the fandom in the first place, I sure did owe her one.

Esther, this one's for you.

I use MPEG Streamclip for the clipping, and iMovie 6 for the actual vid-making. Apparently Mac upgraded iMovie into the WORST VIDDING PROGRAM EVER (I have seen it, it is truly tragic), and it can be tricky to track down version 6 if your Mac came with the later version (9, I think). Good luck! BoB is a very viddable fandom -- the cinematography is so gorgeous that it's virtually impossible to make a bad vid. :D

I have iMovie 6 if people need it! I saved my .dmg just in case you ever upgrade, Kaydee-my-dear. :P
