Two Vids - "Welcome to the Black Parade" (Supernatural) and "...and the Hero is Me" (Heroes)

I did two vids this month as a part of the sweetcharityho Winter, 2008 fundraiser in support of the WGF-ISF. The next auction in support of RAINN is coming soon, so I hope a lot of you will participate as Ho's or Bidders!

I really want to thank the two wonderful women who won me, for giving me amazing, exhilarating challenges. They gave me inspiration and reason to really stretch my wings as a vidder, to try new things, technologically, in terms of edits and image choices, and in working with a collaborative process that was completely different from anything I had ever done before, and I have so many thanks to both seimaisin and minim_calibre for bidding on me, and for giving me such amazing songs to work with. It's been a fantastic experience and I am so grateful to both of you.

Watch or Download: There are three slightly different versions of this vid. The first is on YouTube, ( + behind the fake-cut. )

Watch that first, then download one or both of the differentiated versions:
The images are in separate windows, one above the other
The images are in separate windows, side by side

Since I was playing with the visual effects in this vid, I'd love to get some input from all of you as to what you think about the different "layouts" of the vid - there's a poll here asking you to compare the various versions - thanks in advance for watching, taking the poll and commenting!

Jim Dale at Portus - 2008 in Dallas in July!

I'm crossposting from portus_2008:

The Portus staff has had their lips sealed for the last few months (a very hard thing to do!), but we can no longer keep quiet. It is with the utmost pleasure and greatest honor that we divulge our most guarded secret…

Jim Dale, the voice of Harry Potter, will be joining us this July at Portus in Dallas, Texas (July 10 - 13) and we're more excited than a gaggle of Leprechauns at the Quidditch World Cup!

To celebrate, we are offering a special springtime registration discount for Jim Dale fans. Register by March 15th and use the special promotional code WELUVJIM, and you will receive a regular Portus registration for $180. That's a $40 savings! Imagine all the extras you can add on to your registration with savings like that. *
( Jim Dale info behind the cut, just in case... )

Mr. Dale will be delighting us with a presentation and Question and Answer session from 9am to 10:30am on Saturday, July 12th followed by two autograph sessions from 11am to noon and again from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. The presentation and autograph sessions are free to all Portus attendees, so be sure to register today.

And don't forget - you can get a daypass for either Friday or Saturday and enjoy a day's fun, excitement, discussions and learning at Portus for only $75 - it's $80 on Saturday if you also go to the Ball.
