Friday, Food, Festivids

[grammarwoman]

The weekend is soooo close now. We're having a potluck today at work, and I am about two bites away from uncomfortably full from the sheer deliciousness available. (And about two blinks from a nap, too.)

I could/should be working, but there's a code freeze right now as an urgent project gets approved to go live, so everything I do has to wait until next week anyway.

Instead, I am working on my Festivids offers and requests. I copied the whole list of available entries to a spreadsheet, then went through and deleted everything that didn't immediately pique my interest. Now I'm going back and removing those items that I merely own and/or have enjoyed, feel like I should want to do, or would like to see a vid for, in favor of the ones that really resonate with me, because 60 fandoms is kind of a ridiculous amount to offer. This is so HARD. I need to make another list of things I would consider making as treats, so I don't feel so bad about cutting them from the list.

Vidders, what's your winnowing process and criteria?

I don't offer anything unless I have a solid idea for it or if, in watching it, I get ideas for what I could do with it visually.

My offers tend to be low, but I also fill in later with treats for anything I'm iffy on at sign-up time. This way I can guarantee that if only make the one vid, it's something I am absolutely going to be proud of and that my recipient will likely love.

That is simply brilliant - yes! Of course! If I had an idea going into it, I wouldn't have such a hard time making the vid, and I could get it done with time for treats!

Thank you. :)
