flummeryAhem. So, it's been a while since we've posted anything here, which would mostly be because it's been a while since we've managed to finish a vid.
We did plenty of vidding, mind. But the vids we were working on kept going completely pear-shaped, one after the other, and then we needed a break from the frustration.
So there's still no shiny new vid. But we do have a shiny new place to see the vids we've already done:
http://flummery.imeem.com
Imeem is like Youtube in that the videos are streaming, but the quality is higher, so we figured we'd give it a shot. :)
The big column on the right functions as a blog of sort, so our vids are mixed in with playlists we're creating, etc. If you want just a list of links to the vids, scroll down a little and look on the left for the Videos section -- all of the vids are named with an abbreviation of the fandom and the song title (e.g., o5_Haunted).
Downloadable copies, as always, are available at our regular vidpage.

There's probably a weekend of swearing and recoding in everyone's future... *g*

But I also don't think our vids are particularly accessible outside of our fandoms/vidding groups. Many other people's appeal to a much broader range, and humor in particular cuts across barriers. I watched Haunted flop like a giant killer whale out of water at Worldcon -- the one everyone there really *got* was Killa's Razzle Dazzle. They all knew the source, and they all got the point.
And now I am sitting here wondering how I can rework some of the vid exports so they'll look better on imeem, and how much time and efforts and cursing that might involve...

As for accessibility, I do think there's a gap of understanding between the average vid and the average non-vid-oriented viewer, but I also think that providing proper context can do wonders. "I Put You There" had everybody in the room laughing, and I firmly believe that's because I had given the history of our art form beforehand.
I would love to have "Walking on the Ground" shown at the conclusion of a Wayback Machine-like presentation.
Oh, and all the academics are BSG fans, so "Jerusalem" would probably go over well, too. (:
