Consuming Fanworks in the Worst Timeline
Consuming Fanworks in the Worst Timeline
1 hour
The pandemic changed everything, including how many of us interact with fandom. Reactions ran the gamut from people who consumed ravenously during quarantine to those who couldn’t engage with fanworks at all. Maybe you spent all your time rewatching your comfort vids; maybe you specifically sought out brand new content. Did you avoid pandemic & apocalypse-themed material or seek it out? Let’s have a conversation about how we experienced fanworks during these troubling times and how it’s changed us going forward.

Commit to the Concept
Commit to the Concept

Sometimes people wake up in the middle of the night with an idea, and think to themselves, "What if I... no, that would be too much." Other times, they lean into it and make these vids. Nothing fancy. Just one idea, executed well.

The Scenic Route
The Scenic Route
1 hour
It's easy to focus solely on characters when we make a vid, but the world in which they live can be just as important. Whether it's minimal use of establishing shots or a vid in which the background takes the forefront, how can vids best utilize shots of scenery -- oceans, mountains, cityscapes, etc. -- to add visual interest and symbolic or emotional depth to our understanding of the character or situation? What about other elements of setting such as long corridors, vast halls, and rooms either luxurious or stark? We'll explore some examples and discuss what setting can do for a vid and what works well.

Elements of Musicality in Vidding
Elements of Musicality in Vidding
1 hour
Music is an important part of vidding, but how does a well-crafted song shape our vidding choices? How do the elements that lift our emotions and make us want to put a song on repeat interact with visual clips to form a unified creative work? We'll talk about rhythm, structure, and more, and how we use these to express ourselves through vidding.

The pandemic has affected everyone's ability to get shit done - some people haven't been able to create at all, where others have been able to spin out more than ever, due to a combination of factors - the state of our mental health and the amount of free time we have, among other things. This panel will be a conversation about how our motivation to create, and what we gravitate towards creating, has changed as a result of the pandemic.
