My contribution to vividcon

I, er, forgot that I had previously uploaded this a month ago to let [livejournal.com profile] keelieinblack take a look at it. So I could have posted yesterday immediately after it aired. Whoops?

Vid: Tokyo Sling: Remix (please right-click and download) (Link updated 21 March 2019)
Vidder: [livejournal.com profile] jmtorres
Created For: [livejournal.com profile] keelieinblack, for the [livejournal.com profile] vividcon auction
Source: Weiß Kreuz (Kapitel, Glühen, Tokyo Sling)
Song: Waste by Smashmouth
File specs: 42.7 MB Quicktime movie encoded in H.264, 3:14 duration, 352x166 frame size (aka, the size of the Tokyo Sling source, and astonishingly, it up-resed decently at con--artifacts are less obvious in anime?)

I have remarkably little to say about this, but I am willing to take questions from the audience.

Oh, great vid! I love the song choice, it fits/sets the tone really well.

And yet is totally unlike the original!

I like that about it, though. I watched Tokyo Sling after watching your vid, and 'Waste' really works well and possibly better.

*laughs* One of the common complaints about Tokyo Sling is "I don't get it. What the hell just happened?" I have not actually found that looking at the translation of the lyrics actually helps any.

I still love this, you know. (And I feel sort of bad for asking you to make it.)

Because out of all the many things I could have chosen, I picked the vid idea you'd mentioned ONCE, for the really old fandom with the really LQ source material. As though I was thinking, "ha ha, let's see how much harder we can make her work!"

Er, I mean, I wasn't thinking that, but I don't think my choice made the overall process any easier. *flails*

You've read the life cycle of a vidder, right? You know I would always go through "OMG HATE THIS" stages regardless of WHAT I was vidding? It happens to everyone.

And you actually made my job pretty easy: Limited source = less work!
