Reinventing the wheel

[maristu]

You know what's the worst thing about arriving late to a fandom? It's that everything you want to do has been done, sometimes more than once, sometimes in a much better way than you'd have done yourself. I've had about 5 ideas for vidding Buffy, and they've all been done already! With the character I was thinking of doing, with other characters I hadn't thought of, sometimes the song has been done 5 times! Seriously, how is this possible?

So... I have two sort of obscure songs (by pretty famous bands, actually) that I was thinking of vidding to Buffy. Not my first choices, but I still like the ideas. And they haven't been done yet. That's how obscure the songs are... :P We'll see how things go!

I've always wanted someone to vid Buffy to the song Do the Vampire by Superdrag.

Don't know that one (which is a Good Thing in my book). Am downloading it right now *g* Thanks!

Just vid whatever you want. Chances are that whatever's been done already, won't be as good as what you can do with it *g*

Thanks for the compliment and the confidence boost! *g* In fact, there's one case where I decided that I'll vid it anyway, mainly because there's just the one vid (not 5 or 6), and the idea I had was so completely different than the vid I saw (although it's with the same character)... And also because the damn vid just won't let me sleep, so I'll just make it and get it out of my system :P

I should have a first draft done by tonight, if the ripping process works without problems... BTW, you wanna beta? *g*

SURE!

Huh. I tried to send you the incomplete vid through YouSendIt twice, but I don't think it worked. Did you get anything?

Nope!
