For me choosing clips is one of the most rewarding things of vidding. I mean obviously it is the reason why we vid in the first place, but watching the song meaning evolve with certain scenes and hinting at underrepresented nuances with others? It’s just amazing. Seriously, the moment when you drag a clip on your timeline and the vid becomes alive right before your eyes? Always the Best moment, only topped once you watch an export and you know bone-deep that this vid is finished for good.
Clip choice is also such a manipulative act. It’s astonishing how you can convert different emotions simply by picking a certain scene. You can make your main character look like a saint or an asshole and there lies the real power of vidders. So you should definitely reconsider trying it again, because you obviously have already learned the most important lesson of vidding: Chose your clips wisely and give them thought.
And thank you so much for this feedback, I’m happy you enjoyed the vid so much and the ideas it plays with.
