Vidder Notes
   
I've always been a fan of vids, dating back to the videotaped ones I used to collect for The X-Files. Though I'd longed to try my hand, I'd never owned a computer that could handle the software. That changed in 2005. At the time I was immersed in the final season of Enterprise, a show I followed largely because of one character, Trip Tucker. To me, he was the heart of the crew, and I was angry and saddened when his character was killed off so needlessly in the series finale. I bought Premiere Elements, and was up and running, leaning helplessly on the shoulder of another Enterprise vidder, Erin, who could not have been more helpful to a newbie. This vid clearly illustrates that I didn't know what I was doing. I have aspect ratio problems and my footage was low-res. But I like the story the vid tells and hope one day to remaster it. I include it to show my growth as a vidder.

Superman

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it’s not easy to be me

Up, up, and away, away from me
well It's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me
