newbie vidding confessions

[schmerica]

1) The number one thing I have noticed changing since I started learning how to vid is how many levels I'm balancing in my head at the same time. Because before I started, that was very definitely a singular category for me, and now -- now there are two levels I can work with at once! Sometimes three! It's all very thrilling.

2) The other major thing is the difference in how I watch vids, just as much. The more I'm learning and practicing, the more I'm learning how to watch them, how to get more and more out of them. Watching stuff by an experienced, talented vidder, even when I know I might not be getting everything out of it they wanted, I'm still getting much, much more now that my eyes are getting trained to it. At the very least, I can tell how they're balancing anywhere from five to dozens of levels there themselves.

[Um, I will talk about non-vidding stuff here again. Soon! I promise!]

Isn't that great? That's one of my favorite things about living in a high-quality theater town like Ashland, and hanging out with good writers like y'all on LJ, that you get better by noticing more things and notice more things because you're getting better, and it's just this super-awesome process of learning-curve osmosis. It's one of my favorite feelings in the world.
