Vidding and other sundries
Aug. 12th, 2009 12:40 amDude, vidding Torchwood is hard.
Can it really be that I know the canon so much less well than Who? My canon knowledge is usually pretty good, but I've watched all of New Who like, at least six or seven times, and Torchwood... only two or three times all the way through. As well, with Torchwood, I have a lot of informational knowledge (plot, etc) but not a lot of visual knowledge, whereas I can close my eyes and see the scenes unfolding if I think about a New Who episode.
Also vidding Jack and Ianto -- all their good scenes together are... in my head? Seriously, it's a whole barrel of other issues than writing. In vidding, I cannot just move them around like puppets! (Well, I probably could if I were, a) better and b) had better software, but STILL.) And all their scenes have... not a wide range of position? Nor do they really... touch each other casually? And Ianto, at least, seems to have very few scenes alone, so they're not all-purpose/re-purposable, as it were.
I persevere, but damn.
Here, have some top 5s:
For
such_heights
( Top five Doctor moments! )
For
verasteine
( Top five favourite quotes! )
For
itcamefromjapan
( Top five moments at which you fell completely in love - with a character, episode, fandom, etc. )
For
coyotegoth
( top five death scenes – spoilers for Pather Panchali, Terminator 2, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, Angel, Bridge to Terabithia )
For
jlh
( Five things you didn't think you'd like at first/before you watched them but totally loved. TV/movie/books/music/whatever. )
P.S. How much do I want to teach this course? How much do I want to take this course? SO MUCH.
