Apparently, I vid completely differently than everyone else

[switch842]

I ranted over in fanvidrants about the current trend I'm seeing of songs being all chopped down to less than two minutes. And how much I hate it. Apparently, no one agrees with me. And all the comments are making me think that I don't vid the same way everyone else apparently does.

I don't start with a story and try to find a song or part of a song that fits it. It all starts with the song and I vid the song. That's it. I'm not trying to shove things together that only work if I use this little bit here and that bit there.

Not that either way is necessarily right or wrong. It just seems odd that I seem to have such a fundamentally different view of creating a vid. It's weird...

I don't vid, but if I ever did, it'd be like what you said there: It all starts with the song and I vid the song. Because it's so often that a song sparks a cascade of mental images from a source material. I understand judicious snipping of a song, but chopping a lot of it down to under 2 minutes? Ew. I haven't encountered any of those though, but it sounds kinda eh to me.

This is exactly what happens with me. I'm listening to a song and I just get flashes of the show running along with it. Then it gets in my brain and won't go away until I get it done. LOL
