What is Vidding?

For some people it is love, for some it is connections while for others it is life. But Some may even find vidding a stupid hobby. What is actually that thing called "Vidding"? To my understanding, it is somewhere we can create music videos or more visual media sources. We can take our favourite TV show and our favourite music and merge them together. It can act like a mashup in  a way as it is combining things together to produce something else. Vidding started in 1975 using many technologies. It comprises of slide projectors, VCRs, and computers. When home video-cassettes recorders became available in the mid-1970s, vidders began to produce live-action vids that were recorded onto media that could be shown at fan conventions and further distributions to fans. We should be able to differentiate good vids and bad vids. Bad vids are vids which have no sense. It is like they want to make something but could not really figure out what they want to do. Bad vids suffer from bad planning. The most important component of a good video is good choice of music or song; a song that mean something and also that is easy to understand the lyrics too. The song has to be related to the source material. A good vid should have a strong story to tell. It should also contain movement and good beats. Moreover. it should contain a message and it has to have something to say.
