Day 7 – Have you ever had a vid (of yours) change your opinion of a character?
Plenty of times. I rarely come out of a vid seeing the character or couple the same way as diving in. So my opinions always change in small ways, but it's harder to come up with a grand example right now. I would like to say, that I had a big epiphany while vidding 'Clear the area' or 'Wood and Nails', but that would be a lie. I knew the character depths were there, diving in and it was just about digging deeper for all I wanted to say.

obsessive24 said in her meme seems also very true for me, it's like getting into a relationship with someone you adored from afar. Either you feel dreamy and have hearts in your eyes every time you talk about the character your currently vidding, see Scully in my recent entries. Or when the pendulum swings the other way and that happened one time to me, I loathed the character by the end of the vid. Needless to say, I wouldn't have chose to finish that vid on my own, because the song was such a bad mood fit for that character. So even I knew my hatred wasn't rational and I had to blame myself, because 'Dear God, what was I thinking?' Nobody is happy in Deadwood, least of all Joanie.
What I find more interesting, is the way I get slutty with the source, best example is AtS/BtVS, I know that by the end of the vid, I always want to vid another character or ship of these shows. Recent example 'Dizzy' made me interested in Xander, because he was in so many Willow scenes, which resulted in 'Broken', because the triangle vid song for Spike/Willow/Xander wasn't showing up on time. And I wouldn't have vidded Willow in the first place, if not for the Remix-Challenge. So the posting announcements like 'I have to vid XXX next - s/he's awesome' are always heartfelt and genuine. It often gets derailed by the next step, not finding a good song first.
