Vidding Documentary

OMG, how cool is this?
I got the Henry Jenkins book on fandom for Christmas and have slowly been reading it. It's too bad he wasn't able to make one on vidding, but I think it's so awesome that a documentary is being put together!

When I first discovered fandom, I didn't read fic. I knew about it, but I never tried reading it, instead I'd spend hours searching for vids, and even longer watching them. Vidding was my first contribution to fandom too. There was a time when vidding was my main focus in life, let alone fandom, I would spend hours fighting and cursing Windows Movie Maker. And while my fervor died down, and fic started taking over more of my fannish time, I still think of myself as a vidder. I still vid (as the hours I have put in this past week have shown).

I am sooo excited about this project. I'm going to have to check out the webpage and see about submitting something about myself. It seems really egotistical to think that a small vidder like me might be included in a documentary like this one, but I sooo want to be a *part* of this.
