Boppy's Journal

Hee I didn't mean to get all angsty about this one specific vid. And I will definitely make it and it will make me happy, even if everyone but my friends hates it. :D I think perhaps I'm just lamenting the. . . hierarchy is not the right word. . . divide, perhaps? in vidding. I'm not sure, I'm still seeing all of this with new eyes, but in my head I've been calling what people here are calling mood vids or thought-association-y vids and meta vids "vidders' vids," because I somehow get the impression that vids that are "just" character vids or "just" shipper vids are somehow less. . . serious? Or taken less seriously? But you have to label a vid something to summarize it, and it kind of feels like the labels/categories themselves have come to be shorthand in the vidding community for many other things, most of which I'm probably not aware of yet. Anyway it's kind of hard to articulate, and is just a general impression so I'm sort of tentative at putting it into words. And it's not like everyone doesn't do this, doesn't have expectations for certain kinds of vids, but it makes me a little sad. :)
