Dear Festividder
Oct. 24th, 2020 02:52 pmDear Festividder (and passerby who like to read letters),
Thank you for making me a vid! I tend to go into way too much detail when I write these letters – please don't feel obligated to read the things below the cut tags if that would make the exchange less fun for you. I like many different kinds of vids and I like these sources, so you're pretty sure to make something I'll like.
I have one outside-the-cut-tag thing, though, because I have two visual triggers.
1) Super fast flashes of lights or colors that have high contrast. Almost all vids are fine for me, but some that intercut scenes for two or three frames at a time can trigger this. It depends on the amount of contrast between the two scenes – stutter cuts are fine between two similar scenes, but not between one dark green and one bright red lit scene, or between a nighttime and daytime scene. Strobe lights (in the source) or strobe light effects (in the vid) can also trigger this.
2) Frame rate fuckery - when a show or a vid plays 24 fps footage in 30 fps or vice versa. So, like, when a film puts footage at the wrong frame rate to make it feel awkward or tense, which is super common in action films these days. (E.g. the Bucky/Steve knife fight on the street in Winter Solider.) It can also happen by accident, with incorrect project settings for a vid, or when a show needs to stretch or compress footage, or if a show was incorrectly digitized.
If you're concerned about either of these, please feel free to run a sample by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
