I don't see your opinion as entirely valid if you haven't read the fic. The vidlet is based on the fic, THEREFORE, the fic is where the content originates. How can you comment on the content of the vidlet without having read the fic?

What don't I understand about vidding? Enlighten me. Is it "the basics" of vidding? What do you think "the basics" of vidding are and why do you think making experimental vids requires me to know them? Is there an outline that's been agreed upon that contains the "rules" of vidding? I don't care about making a vid using these basics of which you speak.
