I'm just like that, I feel a strong obligation to stay true to the source material (and canon). For some reason I have no problems with adding effects to the material but I can't seem to bring myself to using secondary sources. It kind of seems like cheating, I don't know. And then I see something like Nikki's Fall Of Man, and feel really stupid, because being more flexible means being able to really make meaningful comments and bring out the meta in a vid without being tied down by what's in the source. This is definitely something I will want to explore in future.
