I’m really pleased that you like it.
Yes, the memes go fast and I wish I could have found some brilliant memes, in good taste and not mean, that had fewer words. But edit points come where they come, and you fill the space between. There is no option to make the timing just a little longer. You usually have to double your space to the next rhythm point, or find an image that takes less time to read. I, personally, couldn’t have tolerated a slow moving video. Joy, as I feel about Trump and our movement, isn’t slow and lugubrious. It’s fast and yelling all the way. So if slow wasn’t an option, then it was finding memes with almost no words. And that would have lost so many great ones and, actually, there aren’t all that many ones with minimal words. So I figure that, as I do, people watch once with pauses for comprehension, remember, and watch subsequent times for pleasure.
I used to be able to hold an entire television series in my head as I made videos, so I didn’t have to look at lists to know where my edit sources would come from. Three seasons of Star Trek or four seasons of Starsky and Hutch. That’s why I’d stay in one fandom as I worked until I worked myself out of it. Then, I’d memorize another entirely new set of TV seasons and forget the last show. Have to admit that my memory isn’t as good as it was 30 years ago, but I can still handle one short video.
Thanks for your explanation for the speed. I hadn’t thought of that. Fits. And pausing or reviewing works fine. Sure appreciate all the excellent work.
