Eek, scary! Scary cool though. I love the dancing metaphor because dancing has really helped my vidding a lot. I often use it. However, I have no idea how you made that leap from the stumbling around (which I can see/feel too) to the idea of shaking the frame and separating green and red... I say this only in the interests of helping bridge the gap, but I would visualise the same feeling as internal movement--someone literally stumbling. Or possibly via jump cuts. I guess those are effects? But the idea of changing colour or using blur or something is nothing that would ever occur to me. Maybe because I don't know how to do them, and yet people tell me they learn effects 'because they needed them' to express their vid... so I get a bit confused by that. It's very chicken or egg to me! Learn the effect? Visualise the effect?

I am pleased from this discussion to learn that I do have a visualisation capacity... and it has been liberating to free associate about other people's tracks without knowing the source and therefore without being tied to specific canon clips. I'm interested to see where this goes!
