New Challenge: First Vid

[aethel]

A Thousand Ships challenge is now closed! Pages created for the challenge include Eric/Tami from Friday Night Lights, Arthur/Eames from Inception, and Jim/Molly from Sherlock.

Our next challenge is First Vid:

Start a page about the first vid or AMV you ever saw, the one that made you want to see more of them!

This challenge will run for roughly two weeks. Feel free to drop a comment on this post to let us know what you've added.

Here are a few resources to get you started: the Vidding category, a help page for writing about fanworks, and a vid template.

The vid template is also provided below for your convenience. You can copy and paste this template into a new page:

{{stub}}
{{Vid
|vidtitle=
|creator=
|date=
|format=
|length=
|music=
|genre=
|fandom=
|footage=
|externallinks=
}}

Hello by Merry

[tai]

I've started on a page for Merry's SGA vid Hello - it could use more reviews/info on reactions from SGA fandom.

One thing not in the template it might be worth linking to (if your song/music has words) is the lyrics - both for accessibility reasons and because they often give greater depth to the vid when you read them and then go back and see how/if they relate to the editing and footage used by the vidder.

Hello was a vid I saw recced all over the place when I first looked into SGA fandom. I could never understand why, though I think I didn't get that it was Atlantis saying "hello". (It was the city, right??) Reading the lyrics might have helped.

Canadian_Actor_Bingo. Not even close to the first vid I ever saw, but I had a few sentences to say about it. Maybe I'll be able to remember something earlier tomorrow....
