A long, long time ago (well at least a few years ago, anyway) I used to make vids. Then came Ros and the parenting thing, and Taekwondo and hockey and life, and it's been over four years now since I've managed a new vid.

Consequently, I've decided to finally close shop on my vidding site at the end of February.

I do have a handful of vids up on YouTube (it's always such a pain, waiting to find if you're going to have to launch a copyright fair use challenge for each new vid, and seeing if this is the vid that YT is going to kill your account over), and I suppose eventually I'll put up more, but for now, this will be the only way to get them.

So, if you've ever wanted to grab a copy of one of my vids, here's the link:

For those new here, there's a lot of Pros, a smattering of LotR, and a bunch of oneshots for various shows and movies ranging from Withnail and I to Spooks to Life on Mars.

Here's my vid for the takethatslash Reverse Big Bang.



I was pleased for the vid to be the inspiration for georgie_thatter's story I'm Not Me Without You.

Inspired by seeing Kaiser Chiefs this week, I've finally put my Pros vid, Love's Not a Competition up on my YouTube channel.



This is the last Pros vid I made, though certainly not the last one I intend to make. I've got two Pros vid ideas currently percolating, and I'm hoping to get to at least one of them soonish. And I also plan to put most of my older vids up on YT eventually, though that's a long term goal. (I have a grand scheme to re-do my very first I Spy vid to get rid of the technical glitches I didn't know enough to avoid, but that is a long term goal.)

I had a lovely experience working on the vid trailer for JoJo's fantastic story, Touch Sensitive.

Thanks to both ancastar and draycevixen for betaing. And to JoJo for the lovely story and providing a fab song choice.



If you'd like a copy of the vid, here's the Download Link.

And here's the Link to the Fic:

I figured there was no better day to finally put up a streamed version my I Spy vid. It was my very first vid, it's a bit rough around the edges, but it showcases a lot of what I love about Culp as Kelly Robinson.




ETA: I've put the downloadable version up on the password free version of my vid site:

Lo, these many months ago, sarren successfully bid on me in the Sweet Charity auction and requested a Batman vid. Specifically, she asked for a vid highlighting the friendship between Batman and Jim Gordon.

Many months later, this is that vid.

Title: A Pain That I'm Used To
Fandom: Batman Begins and The Dark Knight
Length: 3:58
Summary: Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne embrace their inner bat.
Music: A Pain That I'm Used To by Depeche Mode
Notes: Thanks to ancastar for taking a look, even though it's not her fandom.

I've been mostly MIA these days out of extreme busyness. I hit the ground running at work and don't stop till I leave, then do the same at home until I pass out at night. Hasn't left much time for writing. Or vidding. And I'm really missing vidding.

So in lieu of a new vid, I decided to finally put up decent quality versions of my older vids. Because wow, I've got some crappy wee versions of far too many of my vids up on my site.

I've managed to encode and upload a grand total of 8 vids tonight. First up are Bohemian Like You, Gay Bar, ('cause I had to do the multi-fandom ones first) Until It Sleeps, Wicked Ways, Forget Regret, (likewise with Pros), Old Friends, and I Would Die For You ('cause those were the first 2 vids I ever made and they still mostly hold up.) You can find them at http://przed.com/vids (The site is password protected, but I send out passwords within 24 hours, and usually a lot faster than that.)

I'm going to try and replace the rest of the truly awful ones over the next week.

I'm also thinking I might throw my hat in the ring as a vidder for the last Sweet Charity. Because like I said, I'm missing vidding. And doing a vid for someone else might be fun and eliminate some of the perfectionism that's now had me working on the same Ultraviolet vid for...well, a really long time.

So if you've ever wanted me to do a vid...

ETA Now 8 vids. I just got I Don't Know Why I Love You up. More Pros is never a bad thing.

Fresh from ZCon, I've got my new vid up at przed.com/vids.*
