Papa Bear Awards Voting

just a few hours left to vote!

I didn't get to read or create as much as I wanted this past year. I hope that will change soon.

I'm so behind on reading I'll probably just vote in multimedia. But any votes are good! I want this fandom to be there if/when I get to have more free time again!

Deeply bizarre question probably but is there anybody out there who watched The Sentinel, the 90s TV show, when it was airing — and remembers the music?

I was looking up some of the songs included in the episodes on the DVD box set and realized the song release dates were after the show stopped running but before the DVDs released, which tells me whatever was originally playing there was probably replaced for the DVD version and I’m desperately curious what was in the original.

Specifically, I’m after what was originally playing instead of “Believe” by Maggie McClure at the beginning of S2E21: Pennies from Heaven, and what was originally playing during Alex’s break-in scene in S3E23: Sentinel Too Part 1 instead of “Winter Tan” by Coyote & the Unicorn.

VidUKon 2025: Past Forward Vidshow Recs Wanted

I'm VJing "Past Forward", a VidUKon 2025 vidshow showcasing fanvids that use older media (1980 and earlier) cut with modern  music and editing styles. I would love your recs for fanvids that fuse the past and present and give a fresh perspective on familiar sources.

Click here for my Google Form for recs!

FAQ

What types of sources are you looking for? Films, TV, Books, Comics, and anything else - as long as it features a source dating from 1980 or earlier.

What do you mean by modern music? I don't have a hard cut-off year for music and I don't know what I don't know. So, if you know of a Metropolis (1927) vid cut to "Revolution" by The Beatles (1968), send me the deets and we'll check the vibes.

What do you mean by modern editing styles? I'm particularly interested in vids that do something new with the video sources. This could be in the pacing of the cuts, masking, overlays, cropping, on-screen text, source audio, etc.

Can I rec a vid I made? YES! Self-recs are very welcome!

Are you accepting Premieres for this vidshow? A hesitant, yes. This is baby's first VJing gig and I anticipate a learning curve. If you want to submit a premiering vid for this show, it would be due by April 6. Please shoot me a message first.

More Questions? Feel free to contact me using the message system on the platform that led you to this form.

Many thanks, JinkyO

Submissions open for Issue 2 of Let's Talk About Vids!

Let's Talk About Vids is a zine for talking about vids - otherwise known as fanvids, AMVs, edits, etc.

It was partially inspired by the regular Anatomy of a Vid panel at the VidUKon convention, in which vid watchers choose a vid they enjoy to analyse in depth.

I felt like there was an appetite for more analysis of vids, more detailed discussion about the artistic process of making vids, and more places to share vid recommendations. This zine is focused more on the artistic side than the technical side of vidding, but of course sometimes the latter will come up as part of the conversation!

The first issue of Let's Talk About Vids is available HERE.

The second issue of Let's Talk About Vids will come out sometime in the next few months. It will be a PDF e-zine!

The content of the zine will be made up of submissions from folks who want to talk about vids! The zine is seeking:

quick vid recommendations, for vids both new and old (from 1 sentence up to 100 words)

responses to a discussion prompt (1 sentence to a few paragraphs)

longer pieces that explore a specific vid in depth, whether a close reading or something else (200-1000 words)

vidders' reflections on their artistic process for a specific vid they made (200-1000 words)

longer pieces that explore a specific vidshow in depth, either by the VJ or by someone else (200-1000 words)

If you have an idea for something else not listed here, get in touch! Also these word counts are guidelines to give a rough idea for folks who prefer to have parameters, definitely not a hard and fast rule.

Before you make your submission, a couple of things to note:

1) If you are writing an in-depth piece about a specific vid or vidshow, please do your best to get in touch with the vidder or VJ to ensure they're comfortable with it first.

2) While this zine is a space to talk in detail about vids, right now I'm not up for hosting and moderating conversations about what vids got wrong or could have done better. Submissions should be focused on what you think the vid/vidshow does well, what is interesting to you about it, and how it gets its point across.

3) There's no requirement for any particular level of: formality/structure, vidding experience/knowledge, spelling/grammar, etc - if you've got something to say about vids, say it in whatever way works for you! I may lightly edit for spelling and grammar if needed.

4) You can submit ONE longer piece, ONE discussion prompt response, and UP TO THREE quick recs.

You can make submissions HERE until 30 March.
