~Updates Archive~
12.02.08 New
Section! I have just started to experiment with 'manipulations'
in Photoshop and have a couple of my first attempts in a new
section in Digital Art. Click the thumbnail below to check them
out. Also awards for art and fan vids have been updated and
there are a few new icons of some 'alternative' relationships in
the digital Art Icon page.
30.1.08
BUMPER UPDATE !!!!
Lots of tweaking and new
things on the site. The Christmas/Seasonal Sections are
gone for another year. There is now a 'TV Appearances' page
which hosts the David Boreanaz UK interviews. The 'Fusion'
videos have moved to the Conventions section.
Three old vids have been taken down in the hope that I will be
able to remaster them. If I like the results I'll repost
new versions, so 'Monster Mash', 'Viva Las Vegas' and 'Suckers'
are all off line. Awards won for my icons, fanvids
and fan art have all been updated. There are new
icons, banner & Wallpapers in the Digital Art Section (made for
the Winter of Angel comm at LJ). Click the images below to go
see.....
22.01.08
Awards for my fan vids, 'No Self Control', 'Promise' and 'A New
Beginning' updated. Many thanks to
Lady_M4ryjane Awards,
DPTM Awards and
Divine Awards. A new
banner in the Digital Art section. It's 'Waiting in the Wings'
after Degas. Click image below.
21.01.08 If you have
ever wanted your very own original sketch (by me) of one
of your favourite whedonverse characters, then this might just
be your chance. I've put myself up for the Sweet Charity
Auction and I am currently going cheap! Click the link below to
find out more, you'll find me listed as 'thedothatgirl' in the
graphics section. Even if you don't fancy a sketch there
are tons of graphics, fanvids and other goodies all for sale for
a good cause by some seriously talented people. ETA
Auction ended - link removed.
14.01.08 A New
Vid! It seems a long time since I made a Firefly/Serenity vid,
and perhaps this wasn't the sort of thing I had in mind for the
next one but that's the way the vid bunnies hop. It's
called 'Tired' and it examines Inara's true reason for leaving
Serenity. The voices in my head made me do it, click on the
banner to get to the page.
09.01.08 Happy New Year everyone!
Not much yet but a few new icons made for Still_ Grr community
and I have updated awards for my fanvids 'New Beginning'
'Promise', 'Great Escape' and 'Gordon' and some Art awards
Thanks for those! A new Forum/Archive site that will
interest vidders and vid watchers alike - Whedon Video Spot -
don't be shy pop over and join in, click the image below. I will
take down the link to the Christmas page at the end of this
month. Finally, I have started a new video - Firefly
character study but the rest I'll keep to myself for now.
24.12.07 No real updates other than
to say I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. See you in 2008!
20.12.07 Another set of stocking fillers
for the Browncoats & Buffy fans! Footage of guest
appearances (shot on shakeycam by me) at the closing ceremony of
'Fusion' - the first UK appearance of Firefly cast alongside
some excellent BtVS cast. There aren't any Q&A's as that
was not permitted, but there are some speeches which I hope you
will enjoy. Click on the icons to get to the page, check out
Nick Brendon, Nathan Fillion, Emma Caulfield, Summer Glau,
Juliet Landau and Jewel Staite amongst others.
17.12.07 New Banner up on the 'Holidays'
page. Click image to get there.
16.12.07 -Second stocking filler now
uploaded. It's David's appearance on the Graham Norton show.
There is some language, so it's PG13. Click on the banner
to go to the page.
12.12.07 I'm looking around for some
whedonverse related 'stocking fillers' to post for the run up to
Christmas and this nicely coincides with David Boreanaz visit
to the UK this week. He has been on Radio 1 and C4 Paul O'Grady
show and is due to appear on BBC2 Graham Norton Show later
this week. I have the audio clips for just the 'David'
section of the radio show and the TV appearance available for
you to watch/download. Click on David below to go to the page.
6.12.07 I've added some more icons
and updated Fanvid awards. I hope to get a vidlet done for
the Holidays but I may be too busy making mince pies.
Approaching fast and picking up speed - The Holiday season is
upon us. So whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or Divali
- I wish you all the best. Click the image below to get to
the Holiday Page - you'll find the Christmas vids, walls and
icons.
22.11.07 Happy Thanksgiving to all who
celebrate! Hope it's not a 'Yam Sham' and
everyone has both ears! Some icons too, if you want.
16.11.07 Another snippet of the Big Damn
Hero montage is up on the
Wet Paint Page - This time it's
'River'. Updated awards won by my Fanvid 'Promise' - a
huge thank you to MMVA for Best Video and Best Editing and also
to Poetry in Motion Awards for Best BtVS. There are a few
more icons in the Digital Art section. Many of you may have
heard about the Writers Guild of America Strike. As this affects
everyone who enjoys watching shows written
by members of the guild, I would recommend that if you are
interested in finding out more, and want to show your support
then check out the site below.
13.11.07 New
Vidlet. To celebrate the publication of Angel: After the Fall,
here is 'Angel: New Beginning' a brief S5 recap vidlet to
get you all in the mood. I will be adding a stream soon.
11.11.07 Updated
some awards won for icon/fan art challenges and my Xander vid
'Great Escape'. Also added a new Firefly Wall 'That Went Well'
and more icons. The new AtS vidlet is coming on,
who'd have thought less than 2 minutes could take so long to
edit. Click on thumbnail to go to the wall or icons.
29.10.07 So
who is going to watch a Buffy or Angel episode to celebrate
Halloween? Some seasonal icons, banners and new wallpaper
on the 'Halloween' page, click the wallpaper image to get there.
Enjoy the trick or treating.
18.10.07 Some new
Icons and a Anya/D'Hoffryn Banner in the digital art
galleries - Click the thumbnails below to check them out. All
made for the LJ Challenge community 'Still_Grr' - this month the
prompts are all 'Big Bads' so there's plenty of evil to be seen. There
are some new links and affiliates added to the Link Page and
I also plan on making more banners and icons for Halloween so check
back next week. Another new vid has been started,
it's early on in the timeline right now so nothing much to say
other than it is A:ts - Season Five .
9.10.07 See all the photos and
read some anecdotes from Serenity Infinity - Starfury's latest
Firefly /Serenity Convention. Click the banner below.
3.10.07 Finally
finished the 'BDH' Montage - A sneak peak is on the
Wet Paint Page
- I will be showcasing each character individually. The first up
is 'Inara', the 'Cordy' sketch has moved to the Angel Gallery.
30.09.07 Working
hard on finishing some new art - it's a Big Damn Hero Montage.
Disappointing again that Adam Baldwin has had to cancel due to
work commitments. One day, I hope, I will get to meet him.
Updated some awards won for 'Great Escape' and 'Promise', plus a
couple of Site and Art Awards from BBM 3rd Anniversary round.
Thanks for those. Some new links added for my vids on
stream at imeem. Quality is poorer than before. Once I am
back from the Convention I hope to start on a new vid although I
have no idea yet what it will be.
10.09.07
Serenity Infinity Convention fast approaches and I had planned
to do some new art and vid for the contests held there. The art
is definitely achievable but I am not sure I can wrestle out a
Firefly Vid by then. In the meantime I have updated awards
won by my fan vids and as I have been tagged more than a couple of times
here are the first of the memes. My nano on shuffle gave me the
following - Scary huh?
Paint it Black
- Tea Party
I Predict a
Riot - Kaiser Chiefs
I like the way
you move - Body Rockers
Dancin' Shoes -
Artic Monkeys
Beat of my own
drum - Poe
Fugitive Motel
- Elbow
Processed Beats
-Kasabian
Forfeit -
Chevelle
The Line- BRMC
Blind - Placebo
28.08.07 A long
time coming but definitely worth the wait - New Vid and Site
Choices - These won't be monthly from now on but I
hope to make at least four or five recommendations a year .
A new Firefly/Serenity Video from Bradcpu 'Working Class Hero' -
go watch and marvel - and the Site is 'Aimee's Sanctuary'
a fantastic collection videos from the whedonverse and
other film and TV Fandoms. Check out the banners at the
foot of the page. New affiliates - CEC & Kaycee's site
'Indifferent Obsessions' 'Fairy Dust Productions' and Nikima's
new information site 'Crossroad Times' please check them out.
23.08.07 A few new
icons themed with the new Vid 'Promise' click teaser below.
I have also updated my fanvid awards. I successfully made
it through to the Sweet Sixteen of the Vidding Tournament over
at
Friendly Neighborhood Video Awards
- which considering the competition I am very pleased
about, classed as a 4th seed was an achievement in itself. There
is now a HQ version of the new vid but no imeem stream - quality
is so poor that I decided not to upload until that improves.
21.08.07 Another
New Vid - BtVS S2 Angelus/Buffy/Spike/Drusilla angst -
'Promise'. Click on the banner to get there. There is no Imeem
stream of this yet and I may still upload a HQ version.
Feel free to send any feedback or leave message on the tag
board.
07.08.07 I'm
back with just a brief update. There are a smattering of
new icons here - I'm gradually working my way through screen
caps that take my fancy, click the image below.
Unfortunately I am having some issues with the Imeem video site
so you may have problems accessing some of the vids on stream,
you should still be able to download them though. Our
viewers choice poll is still open in the Best of the Best Round
Art of Vidding
Awards- there are some excellent vids which you can
watch and then vote for your favourite. And finally 'Great
Escape' has won it's first awards - thanks to Sunnydale Stories
Video Awards. Also some more for Gordon & Signal To Noise.
17.07.07 Just
before I go off on my summer hols - A New Vid! - A
fun, fast Xander study 'Great Escape' Click on the image
to go to the page. Enjoy and please feel free to feedback.
14.07.07 It's
exactly a month since my last update - Sorry folks but it's been
busy over at the
Art of Vidding Awards. So
- what's new you say? A few more icons added, click the
image below to get to them. I have added all the awards
won recently for fan vids - 'Gordon' has won a further
sixteen which I delights me, and some more for 'She Visits Me'
'Siva' & 'Signal To Noise'. I have also added links
to the streamed versions of the latest vids if you'd rather
watch online than download. All feedback is appreciated.
I'm two thirds of the way into S1-3 Xander vid - it's up tempo
and in a lighthearted vein. It seems that I have no
inspiration for a dramatic or serious vid at the moment so I am
just going with whatever takes my mood. In a couple
of days I hope to have a new vid/site choice of the month.
14.06.07
'Gordon' has won it's first awards along with more for 'She
Visits Me' & 'Siva' - thanks to Sunnydale Stories Awards,
Supernatural Freak Awards and BtVS Vidding Awards - Links to
these sites can be found
here Finally New
Icons ! As promised a clean slate with the icons and
a new batch of 23 are posted.
03.06.07 - A brief
update of some links,
New Award sites to check out. I have also updated awards won for
fan vids - 'Signal to Noise', 'Ghost Story', 'No Self Control'
and 'She Visits Me'. Thanks to all the sites for those -
they're wonderful.
24.05.07 Just a
brief update - check out the Vid of the Month Choice below, '
When You Were Y0ung' a beautiful and nostalgic BtVS fan vid by
Elisha Marie.
19.05.07 Well you
could say that it's a bit like buses - nothing for ages and then
two come along together. Yet another new vid - This time it's my
first AU - Buffy/Angel crossover about a love triangle -
'Gordon' Once again click on the image to go to the page.
17.05.07 New Angel
The Series Vidlet - 'She Visits Me' Song By Vast. Made for
Reverie's Style Contest. Click on image to go to the page.
14.05.07
Finally chosen a Site for this months choice. It's
Sensue's
'The Database' - not only whedonverse vids but other
popular TV and Movie fandoms. A good place to check when you are
looking for your latest fan vid fix. So if you make vids
or just love watching them, click and check it out. My
next Vid choice will be from the Reverie Style Contest - when
this closes and the vidders are revealed I'll be posting a new
recommendation.
10.05.07 The
Sketch of Charisma Carpenter is now on the 'Wet Paint' Page -
click the link to the left to view. I've been slack but I
will be back in a couple of days with some new Month's Choices.
Also I have updated awards for my fanvids - 'Signal to Noise'
did marvelously at 'Path of the Heart Awards' so thanks to the
judges there. Also some awards for 'Fix You' 'I'm Too
Sexy' & 'House Rules' - thanks to Bring on the Night, Beautiful
Lie and EHI Awards Sites.
07.05.07
Back from Collectormania this weekend. There are a couple of
pages of photos of the beautiful Charisma Carpenter, and
snaps of the other whedonverse guests too. Click on banner below
to view.
25.04.07 The
vidding Timeline has been opened once again. Hopefully
there will be a new vid of some kind next month. Very soon
I will be removing and revamping all the icons/walls & banners
- it seems that some people know how to hotlink images here
but not how to read the requests not to do this . Peculiar
and strangely irritating. New awards won for 'No
Self Control' and 'Black Tangled Heart' Thanks go to Flip Side
Awards, Driver Picks the Music Awards and Sunnydale Stories
Awards. Next original art project will be 'Cordelia'
Charisma Carpenter for Collectormania 11 in May - when I
hope to be able to see the only cast member of Angel I have yet
to meet.
11.04.07
NEW ART !
Original sketch of Christina Hendricks as 'Saffron' (aka
YoSaffBridg) on the
Wet Paint Page
Also just a reminder PLEASE DO NOT HOTLINK
IMAGES - that means anywhere including forums, MySpace or Jappy
- you can easily upload them to your own server and post them.
I have also updated awards won by my fanvids. My vidding
muse appears to have deserted me so I am off to look inside the
Sofa in hell. Wish me luck.
06.04.07 - Happy
Easter to you all - A new Wall to celebrate and a couple of
icons. Click on Images to get to the page or full size wall.
More updates soon.
27.03.07 New
Affiliates - Brighette at 'Different Sun Vids' - A multifandom
vidder whose work is well worth checking out and Shona's
'Pointless Nostalgic' Fanfic/ Graphics Archive, a
great place to browse- check the links below. I have
also updated the
awards won by my fanvids - 11 For 'No Self Control'
including Best Video from EPMVA, some for 'Halo' , 'Too
Sexy' & 'Signal to Noise' so I am feeling very happy about that
. Thanks go to EPMVA, MMVA, SSA, PIM, FNVA, BOTN , BKSL and SFA.

26.03.07 All
the photos from Serenity Four are now posted in the Convention
Section. To go straight to the pages click the image below.
12.03.07
10th of March marks the 10 Year anniversary of 'Buffy The
Vampire Slayer' first Television appearance. It arrived a little
later here in the UK so, in keeping with that sentiment, my
tribute graphic art set Wall & icons is a little late too.
Click on the image below to view them. Nothing much to
report other than my total failure to start a vid yet - the plan
is to do some last minute artwork for Serenity 4 this Friday.
Charisma Carpenter has been added to Collectormania 11 signing
event in May so I have hope to meet her there too. I have
updated my Fanvid awards, more for 'No Self Control' & 'It Had
to Be You', thanks to all the awards sites for those.
28.02.07 I had
hoped to have started a new vid project by now but February as
flown by without a trace of a clip on the timeline. Still
wavering between a couple of frivolous ideas and I just need a
kick start. In the meantime I have updated awards for my
Fan Vids, thanks to BOTN, MMVA, Beautiful Lie
Awards, Sunnydale Awards and Army Awards. In
two weeks I will be attending Serenity4 in Glasgow - another
Starfury Convention for 'Serenifly' fans. I am looking forward
to that and may get a chance to do a YoSaffBridg sketch before I
leave. In the artwork side of things there is
a preview of Lorne from an AtS Sketch montage on the Wet Paint
Page.
16.02.07 Vid and
Fan Fiction of the month are now posted. The Vid, by
the talented Jessie is a AtS overview inspired clip
to lyric choices and a fantastic trip to the dark & twisted
world that was S4 Angel, the fic is a Faith/Giles story
post 'Chosen', a prelude to further adventures of Faith,
by the awesome MaraSho. I hope to have the site choice
here soon. Please check them out, they are definitely worth it.
Also welcome to new affiliate MessyJessie.net
15.02.07 I am
delighted that 'No Self Control' has won Best Video, amongst
other awards in the latest rounds at
Sunnydale Stories Awards and
Beautiful Lie Awards - Thanks
so much, that's something special. Haven't started a new
vidding project yet but I do have a couple of lighter themed
ideas I would like to try after all the angst of the last two. I
will update on any progress.
14.02.07
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY To celebrate I have made some
new Icons, a banner and a new whedonverse Couple sketch. Click
on the icon below to go to the page.
07.02.07 Some new
Icons in the
Digital Art section - just 16 assorted Angel, Buffy, Firefly
and celebrity images. Vid, Fiction and Site of the month should
be up by the end of the week and I hope to have some more art to
celebrate Valentines Day. 'No Self Control' has won it's
first award - thanks to SpikeJem over at Army Awards.
02.02.07 New
Art - The sketch of Elisabeth Rohm as 'Kate Lockley' has moved
to the Angel Gallery and there is now a sketch of Mark Sheppard
as 'Badger' on the
Wet Paint page. I
have also updated awards for my fanvids - thanks to Evil Hand
Issues & Breaking Free Awards. Hope to have some more
icons in the next few days and I am starting to think through
the next vid project. After all the angst of the last two I am
hoping to do something much more frivolous and silly.
25.01.07
I would like to say a huge thank you to CEC & KayCee over at
Bad Bad Man Awards for the
'Vidder of 2006' Award - I am so touched by the kind things they
had to say and I will treasure that award which you can see
here. Also
some more awards for 'Signal to Noise' and 'Swell Party' and my
original Artwork & Walls from Reverie, thanks to everyone who
voted there.
NEW VID!! - It's a
S7 Spike overview called 'No Self Control' - song by Peter
Gabriel. Click on image to go to the page.
20.01.07 So
it's come to this and all I can say is I am very sad.
I post artwork for people to see and hopefully appreciate. Yet
now I find that someone, named (according to Buffy and Angel
Magazine) 'Samantha Jones from Australia', has seen fit to
send in two copies of my group montages, cropped to remove
identifying marks and my signature in Black & White and claimed
as her own, it seems that they liked them so much they gave her
the star prize. I have written to the editor and I will
let you know what transpires. To say I am disappointed could be
deemed an understatement. In other news I am half
way through the next vid and hopefully this won't put me off
finishing it soon.
12.01.07 - 19
Icons - 2 animated, now up in the Digital Art gallery - all from
the Buffy Episode 'Lovers Walk' - please upload to your own
server and credit as usual. Updated my awards - more for
'A Christmas Ghost Story' thanks to MMV Awards & Sunnydale
Stories Awards. One more fan vid now on stream BtVS 'Hush'
episodic. Started preparing clips for the new vid -
if all goes well and I don't change my mind it will be Spike -
S7 study.
06.01.07
The Vid &
Site of the Month Choices are up! 'Hair of the Dog' is an
fun character study of Dean Winchester from Supernatural
by Wolfpup - all his snark, cheek with a good helping of
violence! The Site of the month 'Slayerversathon' is
a LJ Community which will have Fanfiction, graphics and
hopefully vids posted over the coming month. Check it out
- and if you want contribute to the collection I am sure it
would be appreciated . All my previous selections will be added
to the recommendation page if anyone wants to back track over
old choices. More of my fan vids are now streamed,
if there are any that you want to see added, tag me.
I am delighted to have been awarded 'Best Vidder of 2006' over
at Evil Hand Issue Awards - and my new vid 'A Christmas
Ghost Story' won it's first award - Best Video - and others over
at 'Bring on the Night Awards' - which is great!
And finally I have a new
affiliate 'Charming Like A God' please check out the site
by the link below.
04.01.07
Just a
quick update mainly about
my fan Vids - I still continue
to get problems with people downloading my vids and using them as clip
source, and posting the 'results' over at YouTube. There are two older
vids in particular that seem the most popular so I have decided to stream
these only. In addition I will be offering some of my other vids in
stream format as well as download. The
quality will not be as good as download but it may help those of you who
can't always get to see the vids. I
will be adding more as we go along. Please wait for the vids to buffer
before playing - it just makes it little less jerky.
01.01.07
Happy New Year to
you All!! Most of the recent updates have been made over
at the Art of Vidding Awards so it's time for something new
here. NEW ART -
Elisabeth Rohm as Kate Lockley now on the
Wet Paint
Page. The sketch of Shepherd Book is now in the Firefly
Gallery. I hope to have new choices of the Month in a couple of
days and a new feature for some of the vids the Moving
Picture section. The
Christmas Page with all the
graphic art /vidlets will remain on-line until the end of
January and then 'get packed away' with all the other
decorations until next year. I have also updated the
awards for my fan vids - New ones for 'House Rules',
'Black Tangled Heart', 'Santa Baby' & 'Swell Party' -thanks to
all the Awards sites for these. Finally some of my vids
are in the Peoples Choice 2006 Polls over at
With Silence & Tears
and another Best Of Round at Serenity Awards - any support is
appreciated!
22.12.06
New Vid! - Another
seasonal of sorts - more of a traditional ghost story than
festive fluff with snow. ' A Christmas Ghost Story' contains all
the angst from 'Amends' that was omitted from my other
Christmas vidlets. Set to Transiberian Orchestra's instrumental
medley - Christmas Eve Sarajevo. Click image to go to the vid.
I have also updated my awards for Fan Vids - thanks go to
Sunnydale Stories Awards, Beautiful Lie Awards, Poetry in Motion
Awards & Bring on the Night Awards. I
hope to post some last minute icons and update my choices
of the month very soon.
10.12.06 My other Seasonal Vid -
Santa Baby is now online - click on the Christmas Present to go
to the page. I have also updated my awards. Thanks to Bad
Bad Man Awards and Poisoned Kiss Awards. Also there are a
couple of my Firefly fan vids in the Best of Year Round at EHI
Awards, so if you liked them please vote for me. Click link
below. I hope to be able to start on a new Seasonal vid in
time for Christmas, plus more banners and icons. New
Affiliates added to the link pages, please check them out.
4.12.06 Merry Christmas everyone (I know it's early but
have you seen how fed up Angel is, waiting in that box?)
An early Christmas present for you all - Click
above to go to my Seasonal page with Icons, Wallpapers and my vidlet 'Let It
Snow' - I made that back in 2004 and I hadn't been vidding very long,
so it's fairly simple. The other vidlet 'Santa Baby' will be up
hopefully by the end of this week. If time permits I may do another
seasonal vid to add to this. I will also be adding more artwork as Christmas
approaches. Nominations are coming along wonderfully for the Art
of Vidding Awards, click on the link left to see. A huge thanks
to Tami over at
Sunnydale Stories Awards, my vid
'Temptation won eight awards including Best video, I am stunned and
delighted. New affiliates for Buffy and Angel Art - Crystal Illusions
- and also for the Art of Vidding
Awards - see the links and the update page.
1.12.06 The time has come! - The Art of
Vidding Awards is now open for submissions. Click image below to get there,
go submit your vids.
Also I hope to have my
Christmas/seasonal vids back online, along with some festive art and icons
in the next day or two, so don't forget to check back.
25.11.06 - Vid Choice of the
Month has been added, I was going to keep these selections to
just the whedonverse but I love Frivolity's vid so much it deserves the
attention - action packed and hilarious in true comic book style
- it will blow your socks off!
Remember if you enjoy the choices too, then please feedback to
the creator - it will really be appreciated. I have
updated my awards for fan vids and there is a new Eliza Dushku
wall in the digital art section. The Art of Vidding Awards
opens in just 5 days and I will also be uploading a special
Seasonal Section with my Holiday Vids, original and digital art
- so be sure to check back.
