Total: 13!
Favorite Vid: Scratch. I don't know if I have a reason for this.
Least Favorite: I'm answering this first because it is, hand's down, Times Like This. I just look at that video and absolutely cringe. It is all over the place and just, ugh. I dunno what I was thinking.
Most Successful: God I don't know. I think that my promo was pretty "successful" if you count the sheer volume of comments, but I think that Battlestar Inferno and probably Taking Control are comparable to that, especially given the subject matter. I think the Supernatural fandom is kind of a different animal when it comes to vidding or writing fic, or anything fandom related. (Especially if it's Sam or Dean centric.) So the fact that Taking Control got the attention it did, was featured at WinCon, etc., even though it didn't focus on either of the main characters, means a lot more to me.
Re: Battlestar Inferno. I haven't been in the fandom very long, but the BSG fandom at this point in time is a bit more of a low rumble compared to SPN. So the attention that Battlestar Inferno got was phenomenal, imo.
Vid that I think should've gotten more attention: Hmm, most of my vids did as well as I expected them to, and most times better. Maybe I thought Swallowed would be more appreciated, simply because there just aren't a lot of Jack/Sawyer vids in fandom and there are shitloads of Jack/Sawyer fangirls.
Also, I think All Fired Up, but I understand why it didn't get more attention, being brand new to the fandom and all.
Most fun to make: Oh gosh, I dunno. I think every video has a moment when you're vidding and you're just so sick of the song and you want to get stabby. I would say that Battlestar Inferno was pretty fun as far as clip searching, re-discovering just what a big bunch of boozers those colonials really are. But Swallowed was just... I had a smile on my face the entire time making that. Those boys.
Hardest to Make: They're all hard. I tried someMAN-ips manips in Swallowed, but I could have done better. Um, I don't know. All of them, haha.
Things I've Learned: Gosh, I've learned so much in vidding over the year. I'd be typing until this time next year if I mentioned everything. I think philosophically speaking though, maybe that... simpler can be better, that effects are not always evil, and you gotta enjoy what you're doing, because if you don't it's definitely gonna show up in the vid. Oh! And there can always be more Callum. *wink*
Things to work on: I'd really like to work on created stories and AU. That's something I have yet to master.
Vids coming soon:
I don't typically have a lot of videos stirring at once, but for once I have a lot of ideas brewing. The list goes as follows:

I don't typically have a lot of videos stirring at once, but for once I have a lot of ideas brewing. The list goes as follows:
One Week
Multifandom, buddy video
The Day
BSG, Kara/Lee, Kara/Anders (non-triangely, imo, half finished)
Post Blue
BSG, Kara/Leoben
Scummy?/Something else?
Shameless Callum Keith Rennie fangirl video
Mary Jane's Last Dance
Friday Night Lights, Tyra Collette character study
- Also, once I finish watching Due South I'd love to do a video for it.
