We promised a list of what clips came from what sources, so here it is! We've got episode titles for tv shows where we remembered them. In some cases we got footage off Youtube and don't know what the original ep was; in at least one we forgot to mark anything down when we grabbed the clip and there's not enough there for us to identify it beyond a guess. Sorry!

( clip fandoms )

Phew.

( Lyrics )

We didn't realize until after we were done that we had managed to get in footage from every decade from the 1960s through the 2010s. \o/

At some point we'll post clip notes listing what sources were used for what, but we didn't have time to finish that before the con, and are currently too fried to tackle it. Soon, though!

ETA: The clip notes are up!

We couldn't go to Vividcon this year, which was very sad. But we were poking desultorily at vids anyway in hopes of getting something done, when

cesperanza and

astolat roared into town, said, "We've got music! Let's vid!", and

astolat pulled

merryish into one room to vid real people, and

cesperanza pulled us into another room to vid... everything else. Seriously, those women are a force of nature. ♥

And this was the result!

Title: Metaphor

rhoboat's very useful tutorial. We're hoping to get streaming versions of all of our vids up on our website soon, along with ipod-formatted versions if possible, for one-stop shopping.)

Feedback is most welcome!

Our Vividcon Premieres vid is up now:

Vidder website: http://flummery.org

Notes: Thanks to

merryish for the all the help, and especially all the baking, without which this vid probably never would have been finished in time. (she made us say that -- but it's true anyway.)

~~There's a streaming version up on our imeem (http://flummery.imeem.com), but it's a little stuttery in spots and we're not sure why. Hopefully we'll get it figured out and fixed soon.~~

Imeem went boom, so we put a streaming version up on our site, which you can watch there or here:

ETA April 17, 2012: Our streaming vids are temporarily offline while we look into a technical issue. Sorry! The download still works, and we'll get the streaming version back up as soon as we can.

A little late, because of tech issues:

(We'll probably be remastering this vid sometime this fall/winter, actually -- the DVDs came out incredibly fast, and we'd love to have a clean-source version. But this is the version that aired at Vividcon, and that's on the VVC discs.)

In other news...

We learned many things at this year’s Vividcon! Among the more mortifying -- we clearly have no idea what the hell we’re doing when it comes to aspect ratio.

absolutedestiny’s enlightening Vid Tech Panel of Doom helped resolve a few things for us -- and break the bad news that our shiny, newly remastered version of Haunted was actually remastered with the wrong aspect ratio. As of this post, though, we’ve replaced all the remastered versions with newly remastered remasters! ... Yeah. *facepalm*

On August 7, 2007, everything changed.

To commemorate the occasion, we've remastered our Odyssey 5 vid, Haunted, with DVD source. We've also put up some notes about it, for anyone who's interested, linked on our main vids page.

Downloads:

Haunted 2007, large version 45.5 MB

Haunted 2007, small version, 12.2 MB

Both are XVID. Please right mouse click and choose "save" rather than streaming.

If you want to point people to the downloads, please link to http://trickster.org/vids, not directly to the vids themselves.

Better late than never *g*

Below are some thoughts on what we were trying to do with the Metavid (link to actual vid here in case you want to watch before reading. Or, link to the lyrics). It's mainly me (Thing 2) writing below, with occasional input from Thing 1.

But first... we owe an awful lot of people thanks for this one, it just could not have been made without all the help, so thanks to everyone who let us use vids, clips, their thoughts, shouted "LLAMA!" at us, and all the rest.

( The Metavid (or, Walking On the Ground) )

Current Mood: accomplished

We sent in two vids this year, one for Premieres, and one for the Challenge Show.

Our Premieres vid:

Jerusalem
Artist: Anouk
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica
Size: 48 MB

Our Challenge vid:

Walking on the Ground
Artist: Sheldon Allman
Fandom: Multimedia
Size: 32.9 MB

I have linked to the divx versions of the files here, but these are also available in Quicktime and WMV format at our page: http://www.trickster.org/vids. There are also smaller file sizes at this location.

( Some background on the Challenge Vid )

Current Mood: accomplished

These two vids were our Premiere entries for VividCon 2004.

Vid: Big Red Boat
Artist: Grey Eye Glances
Vidders: Seah and Margie

Vid: What It's Really About
Artist: Northern Pikes
Vidders: Seah and Margie

Location for both: http://www.trickster.org/vids
Available in Quicktime and WMV.

All types of feedback welcome.

Thing 1 and I are slow and slower, and taking our own sweet time writing up our VividCon Con reports (Okay, I'm taking my own sweet time, Thing 1 is actually writing some kind of dissertation on the Con, complete with footnotes), but in the meantime, we've finally put up the two vids we premiered at the con this year.

Haunted -- Odyssey 5 -- Seah (Thing 2) and Margie (Thing 1)

and IBS -- Stargate -- Margie

Vids by Seah and Margie

This entry is backdated to reflect when the vids were actually made; we premiered them both at Vividcon 2002.

If we ever get season 2 Inivisible Man on DVD, or seasons 2-4 of Sentinel, we'll remaster these; we desperately want cleaner footage than these old VHS tapes. In the meantime, we've at least put up a larger version of each than we used to have, back in the days when 360x240 was *huge* and we figured no one would ever download something so gigantic. And we've added streaming versions on our website.

Title: Black Cat
Song artist: The Northern Pikes
Fandom: The Sentinel
Vidders: Seah & Margie
Website: http:flummery.org
Summary: Who says a black cat has to ruin your day?
