After creating individual Fanlore pages for a few of the Vividcon premiering vids, I thought we might want to start building up the vidding glossary. Terms like "recruiter vid" and "garbage can vid" have already been defined. I've thought of a few more terms, but would love to include more.
When thinking of glossary terms, imagine explaining terms to someone not familiar with vidding.The list so far:
glossary term for VJ
glossary term for "con vid" and "living room vid"
glossary term/history for "vid review"
glossary term for "joxer dance"

Can we have a copy of it here (or a link to the fanlore pages)? I have no idea what any of those mean, and I'd love a glossary.

Ooh! This is a great idea! Fanlore could use a lot more articles. Can we have a copy of it here (or a link to the fanlore pages)? I have no idea what any of those mean, and I'd love a glossary. I think "con" vids vs. "living room" vids is a topic we could (and should!) discuss endlessly here. Basically, it means vids that play well to huge rooms full of people who are going to see them once vs. vids that play better in your living room where you have time to rewatch and analyze. It's a pretty murky distinction if you mostly watch online and different con environments can be really different. Vid review is, what, the vid review panels at cons like Escapade? The "joxer dance" is a VividCon tradition that involves a very silly dance number from Xena (the one with Joxer's overly glam brother). |

Thanks for the links and the definitions
Ooooooh. I agree, we should definitely have a thread to share con vids and living room vids - I'd love to see everyone's recs. It's interesting to think about distinctions like that and see which of your favorite vids they apply to.

It hadn't occured to me until now that there could be a difference but that makes so much sense. |
