Hi, I finally got around to making my shop post and I was wondering whether:

a) I can promote this in my team comm (Starfish) and
b) promote this in the Gardens comm (I know there is the rule about no promos but I wasn't sure if this applied to internal stuff)

Thanks!

[digitaldesigner]

You'll need to ask your team leader whether they want you promoting in the team comm. That's her call. :)

Sorry, no. No promos of any kind except in the monthly recs post. :)

Could we add vidding to the battles maybe?
Like 10 seconds of vid would be same weight as 100 words of fic?

pretty please ... *batts eyelashes and offers cookies*

[digitaldesigner]

Yes. :) I did make the requirement a bit longer, though (30 seconds). :)

I do love cookies. :D

[colls]

OH, ok. :(
Any chance of reconsidering the requirement?


This is actually the sort of thing I had in mind to do:

I probably wouldn't do 30 seconds each, but I still might do 3 of the 10-second ones I had in mind. If I can talk anyone else into it that is. :)


Also, just from a personal standpoint I certainly don't feel 30 seconds of vid compares to 100 words of fic or 2 icons at all.
Words can be completed quickly and 10 seconds of vid requires ripping/clipping/editing & merging music - it combines graphics and audio and is much harder from a technical standpoint, IMO
I suppose the argument could be made that someone could use longer clips and fill 10 seconds relatively easily, but someone can ramble on and type up 100 words in just a few short minutes, too.

((and sorry for being one of *those* pesky participants - I just have very strong feelings about vidding and it seems to be undervalued a lot when compared with fic and graphics - LOL -- I'm good with whatever you decide))

I suppose the argument could be made that someone could use longer clips and fill 10 seconds relatively easily

This is my whole reasoning. I know vidding is more work than fic (probably why I don't do it more :P), but I also don't want people seeing 10 seconds and slapping together something without any thought or effort. That said, I'll lower it to 20 seconds. :)

For the record, I don't undervalue vidding. I love watching them when done well and I know it takes a lot of effort to do them really well. I just don't people slapping something together because they think it's easy and not because they want to do it.

sorry for being a pain

[digitaldesigner]

Not a problem. At first I was confused when I got your request to join the comms, lol.

[timetobegin]

gotta keep you on your toes :D

[digitaldesigner]

Lol and you do a very good job at that. :D

I enjoy the activities and variety, but am not really active in landcomm-type stuff these days :(
So I'm going to drop for the upcoming phase. I closed my shop and just left a note for skies.

GOOD LUCK!

[digitaldesigner]

Thanks for letting me know. :)
