Should angst be this...happy?

aislynnEeeeee! I'm so terribly pleased with an effect I just did for the Uber-Angst! It took two separate reference shots combined into one, two of the video tracks, some careful cookie-cuttering on a moving target (without being able to mask, which is a feature that my Baby Vegas doesn't have, sad to say :( ) but it worked! *has teh vidding squee!*
Of course, as soon as I was happy about that Veronica my cranky vidding muse reminded me that this is a "for nothing" vid and I'm totally wasting a good effect on it. :S Gee, thanks, Veronica. Way to bring down my happy. :( But I'm leaving it. Just because this isn't a vid that's meant "for" something, that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve the best love and skill I can put in it, right? And I just pour love into these Doctor Who vids, it's still so strange to realize that! I guess Lost vids became "work" a long time ago without my even realizing it. :S That's not to say that I haven't usually enjoyed something about all the vids I've done, of course. But it's been a loooooong time since I knew I was just vidding for the love of it.
It's been a weird day today. I've actually got a lot of stuff done that I was "supposed" to yet I still felt all restless like I was just swamped with things. *sigh* I actually didn't feel any better until I was able to stop and work on the Uber-Angst. I guess it's kinda therapy in some weird way! ;) I mean, it is a SAD vid, so melancholy, so final yet it makes me feel better to work on it. I guess it's kinda giving all of those sad feelings a place to go, rather than let them focus on the things in my life that ARE making me sad. Holy crap, did I just psychoanalyze myself through my vidding? Lol! ;)
Ooo, something that I'm all a-twitterpated for: I ordered those action figures, yay! Hopefully before too much longer I'll have my very own little mini-Nine AND mini-Ten to call my own! Still can't find a Rose, though. :S Nine and Ten were a good deal (only $3 more than Nine by himself, strangely enough and the shipping and handling stayed the same) but I can't find Rose available in the States in anything other than that set of 3 with either Ten and the Slitheen or Ten and Cassandra and once you put the s&h on that it goes waaaaaaay more than I want to pay! :( Ah well, maybe they'll release another version of her in the States or something? I mean, they're still releasing Nine here and he's been gone since season 1 *sniff* (and they're about to start season 4). So there's always hope! Though I may have to buy Martha and let her hang out with the pair of Docs ;) until I can put Rose with Nine and let Martha have Ten. ;) They DO make a Jack but it looks SO not like him that it barely seems worth the money. :S
I love my Ianto icon! *points* You don't often find good "mischievous" pics or caps of the poor guy. He's had lots of angst in the show, you know? ;)
Welp, I was going to random picspams ya ;) but I'm out of time. :( Better get my viddergirl self on to bed since I've gotta get up early tomorrow. Ooo, newsflash, they just MIGHT have the final paperwork on all those house repairs to be signed tomorrow! Of course, they still haven't finished off the last of the things they're supposed to do but that stuff is covered by our warranty and shouldn't be affected by signing the final papers. She says, with her fingers crossed that these people know what they're talking about. O_O But wouldn't it be lovely to know that it's finally finished after 7 MONTHS??? *dies*
Ah, I can't leave without giving you SOMETHING pretty to look at! I can't remember where these motivationals came from, I'm sorry to say. :( I've had 'em for a long time (which is why they're all season 1 material ;) ) and, like a numbskull, I forgot to put in the name of the place where I found them at. :S So, my eternal thanks to the unknown makers of these awesome mock motivationals! (Also, this is the size they were when I got them; I didn't resize them smaller or anything, in case you're wondering. ;) So, sorry for the occasional very tiny text. :( ;) )
*snort* I love John, you know, but that one makes me laugh 'cause it's so true!!! ;)
The line forms right behind me... ;)
*giggles* His expression fits that so well... ;)
Again, my sincerest thanks to the unknown creators of all of those. ;) If I can find where they came from, I'll come back and credit! :D
Nighty-night! *hugs everybody* ♥♥♥!!!

Date: 2007-11-28 06:17 pm (UTC)hehe, those mocks are awesome! ;) (I can't see two of them though for some stupid reason, 3&4 :S)
Yay for vidding fun, it doesn't matter what your actually doing it for aslong as it's what you want and it's fun! ;)
YAY for mini doctors! ;)
Glad to hear the repairs on your house are almost finished! :)

Those posters are awesome. ROFL!

Date: 2007-11-29 07:27 am (UTC)That made me *sporfle* for some reason, lol! And I'm not even quite sure what sporfling even IS! O_O But I'm pretty sure I *sporfled* anyway... ;)
Wait, I'll look it up, 'cause now I'm curious...
Sporfle (http://www.langmaker.com/db/Sporfle) v. [Note: onomatopoeia] 1. To make snorting noises in an attempt not to laugh. 2. To spew a drink while trying not to laugh. Example: "I shouldn't have watched that web cartoon at work. It was so funny I sporfled coffee all over my computer."
Yep, that was right. Snorting while trying not to laugh, that's me! ;) Anyway, I don't doubt that you'll manage to get the proper sort and degree of uber-angst going eventually, even if it's not quite where you're wanting it to be now. And there's nothing wrong with emo, after all! :P It's just... uber-angst without enough caffeine! ;)
And hey, it is NOT a "for nothing" vid. It's for you (and *ahem* me, me, me!) and that's worthwhile. ;) I can't wait to see the snazzy effect! :D
Aw, thank you kindly! I'm actually about halfway done now! It's kinda falling into place so I hope to have it done soon! *fingers crossed* And thanks again for the encouragement! I really do appreciate it! *hugs!* ♥!

Date: 2007-11-29 01:45 am (UTC)yay for enjoying vidding again!!!! :D It's a hobby and it should be fun, right? :D I really should get into Doctor Who so I get to enjoy fully your new vidding passion. :D
no subject
Date: 2007-11-29 03:21 am (UTC)Yes, you should. ;) At least watch season 1... It's short.
And look at that! *points to icon* Your fortune says you're going to watch it... :D

Date: 2007-11-29 07:31 am (UTC)Oh, that would be so cool! But I have to warn you, don't expect BSG-kinds of drama and seriousness! ;) It's a LOT more silly... *points at icon of Nine being attacked by a mannequin's arm* ;) though I've also found that it does have more depth than it might seem on the surface and there have been plenty of *sob* and *sniff* moments.
Do let me know if you ever decide to give it a watch! The seasons are only 13 eps long, at least, so it's not a huge commitment at first. ;) 'Cause you'll definitely want to start with season 1 and the Ninth Doctor *draws hearts around him* ;) first! ;)

Date: 2007-11-29 11:20 am (UTC)The Oncoming Angst! :D I think I bawled through half of "Father's Day". There have been lots of really touching moments. And the relationships between the characters are incredibly well developed for a show that has mannequin arms and Christmas trees attacking people.
Okay, I'll stop butting into your conversation now. ;)

I've really found that to be true, myself. Although, I sort of *heart* its silly side too. (Whenever I need a laugh, I watch that scene with the mannequin arm wrestling them both around the kitchen, lol! ;) )
And *piffles again* you're certainly not butting in! We're conversating here. ;) (And no, that wasn't a typo; I actually did mean "conversating," which isn't a word but sounds like it should be. ;) ) :D ♥!
no subject
Date: 2007-11-30 03:52 am (UTC)ETA: I just realized that, in a way, timorous_beastie could be construed to have a meaning similar to my current screen name. A frog is a beastie. Jelly is something you might turn into when you're timorous. Hmmmmmmm.
I'm absolutely certain that I've heard the word "conversating" before, so it must be a real word. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've used it myself... So that proves it's grammatical. ;)
I can't take credit for the Oncoming Angst, I saw it on an icon. :D Oh yes, this one:

Date: 2007-11-29 07:37 am (UTC)Im sure theres a comunity though for Dr. WHo fans where you can share them, but remember its not pointless because we will all see the amazing effects also!!!
I've found a couple of comms but so far nobody really "knows" me yet, you know? Guess it just takes some time, huh? ;) And I hope that you guys will be able to at least follow the basics of this vid's storyline. I'm trying to make it canon but not SO canon that non-Whovians will be all "HUH? What was that supposed to be?" anymore than I can help it! ;)
*loves back* Thanks! :D ♥♥♥!!!

I've called up your LJ three times here lately and got called away from the computer before I could actually read anything! Grrrrr! o_O I'll try again tonight, so hopefully I can dodge distractions long enough to catch up a bit! Anyway, so glad you enjoyed the motivationals! They really give me a laugh so I wanted to share! ;) *big hugs!* ♥♥♥!!!

Date: 2007-12-03 02:05 am (UTC)oh, that sucks when you get distractions- that happened to m e last night when I was trying to read moondropz stuff. and hers takes time to upload:;) did you get to ever read my posts? I had some pics - and memes last night.
*hugs* hope you are doing well!!!

I love those Motivational Pics! They're always so clever. *squee*
