No vid for you

[bironic]

Oh, #$%&!* -- Vividcon premieres are due midnight tonight, not midnight tomorrow night. So the post I was just going to make about how there's still a chance, albeit a slim one, that I might get this vid done in time is now a post about how it's not going to happen.

Sigh. Disappointing, but I'm not torn up about it. I would rather not send a vid than send a mediocre vid, and the reason it's not done is that I was being good these last few weeks and doing my work.

I suppose I could skip fangirl Farscape Friday and try to hash this thing out, but I might be too lazy. Besides, how much would it suck to actually finish it in time only to find that I couldn't get LlamaEnc (Vividcon's EZ encoding software) to work? I'm already fighting Premiere over limited working memory and the number of clips this vid involves.

.

On the brighter side, had an awesome weekend last weekend; synn came, and con_txt happened. Will write something up soon. Possibly even sooner than expected, if tomorrow's not going to be All Vidding, All Day as planned until 10 minutes ago.

Arrgh, that's so frustrating! I'm sorry. But you're still going, right? You'll get to bathe in the vividcon atmosphere! If it's anything like I experienced, you'll come back with your inspiration dialled up to eleven. And I know it's not the same, but we your flist will still be here when one or many of your vids are ready to see the light of day. *hugs*

Oh yes, I'm very much still going. And there are two vids-in-progress now that are fairly close to being done - the one you looked at, and the one I'm talking about/working on now. So life is not bad.

w00t, that's good, then! And dancing your heart out at Club Vivid cures all ills! (Those of us with that inclination also have the opportunity to make out with cute vidder girls. All in all, a wonderful party to attend.)

Or, for those of us made of elbows, watching the goings-on from the sidelines, but yes. :)

True, there's that, too! The parade of awesome costumes is an amazing thing to behold. Fandom is never having to say, "But where would I wear that?"

: ( I wish I had a better reply than frowny face and a 'that sucks'... it does. But, as you say, better no vid than a mediocre one, and at least you found out today and not tomorrow when you tried to turn it in?

Ack, yes, that would have been terrible.

YAY VIDS! Wish you could've had an entry, but oh well. I will love the vid all the more!
