Vid
I really want to make a Supernatural vid. I'm sick of having ideas (especially this current idea) and not being able to do anything with them. So, my question is:
Do you think that I should try to make something with MS Movie Maker (which I believe I can get for free) or do you think I should wait until I can afford better software? What's the consensus out there amongst people who are good at this kind of stuff?
Timelines and Clothing Catalogues
I'm still waiting on my S6 DVDs. I should be getting them soon though. Then I can confirm the timeline, start cataloguing S6 clothing, and do my rewatch posts.
Of course, sadly, I don't have a bluray player...which means I don't have access to the bluray features. So, if anyone out there has the bluray and notices any timeline information in the bluray extras, please let me know!
I'm also thinking of maybe doing a "Knowledge Timeline" - that records things like the fact that Sam and Dean hadn't encountered a demon before Phantom Traveller - or that they didn't know that a demon killed their mother until Scarecrow....facts like that. It's just an idea. Mainly because I'm tired of pre-series fics that have them naming Azazel when they're 15, even though they didn't actually know his name until after he was dead. And I know me doing a timeline won't change other people's inaccuracies, but at least I'll know that I'm contributing to solving the problem! Anyway yeah, just an idea...I don't know where I'd get the time for it really, but it sounds like a fun project (to me, because I'm crazy and I really like making timelines.)
Fic
I'm being extrodinarily slow, and I apologize. I've got one piece nearly done and ideas for more demented'verse related snippets. I've also got a major non-fanfic writing project in the works, which I'll tell you more about in October.
Life in General
I still don't have a job, but I'm working on it. I have to find a job soon or I'm screwed...but I'm trying not stress too much.

I know nothing about making vids. *sadface* I hope you get an answer because I'd really like to see what you'd make!
Good luck on the job hunt! *fingers crossed*
I just really want to make this freaking vid.
And thanks for the good wishes on the job hunt and the support for the additional timeline :) Much appreciated!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the encouragement!
In my head!canon, Bobby built the panic room BECAUSE Dean went to hell...because he was sitting there drinking, mourning his pseudo-son, and thinking "if only I had a demon proof safe-room that I could have locked him in..." so he built it...and then sat in there thinking, "too little too late, Singer."
Uh...sorry, that got depressing. What I meant to say was: I agree completely.
So yes, definitely a need for the knowledge timeline. I will pencil it into my schedule. ;)
It's only a matter of time now...
And, also, detailed information about alternate Earths, even if I have no involvement in the fandom other than reading about them... I don't know... it's a fetish or something.
So, I say: If you wish to spend the time, then for goodness sake get busy! I HAVE SPOKEN [in my own mind, that means something].
As to the VID, I alas, have never made the attempt. I, though, would also love to see what you could come up with. You're so detail oriented, so I've no doubt you could find songs that fit your images perfectly and perhaps in clever or unexpected ways. I just have one request [and, this means something in my own head] ... NO MORE Evanescence!
Me and my bestfriend were once going to write a story that took place on an earth that was sun-facing...like, half of it was always in the sun and half of it was always in the dark, and you could really only live in between.
And don't worry, I will not use Evanescence! :P At first I was thinking Sarah McLachlan, now I'm thinking Stone Temple Pilots - I've got a theme, so I have to find a song that fits it...and oddly enough, those two artists so far have the only two viable songs I've found. I'm still keeping my ears open though.
I think in consensus Sony Vegas is the best vid maker so far; the things that can be done with that takes your breath away. HOWEVER, most of it does rely on the filmmaker's vision of the vid, cuz it doesn't help if you have a great software and your vid went in all directions. WMM is the basic, maybe you can meddle around with that to test the waters?
For BTVS/AtS, it is Charmax76
For a combo-verse, I haven't found anyone that I favorite a lot, though I do have favorited YouTube vids.
My mum first got a cellphone around 1995, I believe...haha, but yeah, we definitely weren't calling each other in the '80s. This is what happens when teenagers write fic ;) I remember the big thing was that we had a portable phone in the house that had a range that went half-way down the block. So technically, we could take calls in our friend's house.
