I made my first fanvid twenty years ago for a sociology class about feminist media. It was titled “The Quest for Strong Female Characters in Animation” and included clips from some 30 titles, mainly Disney and anime. I took over my brother’s computer, imported everything from the DVD/VCR through a camcorder, and worked on it my entire Spring break. I even dubbed my own voice over footage of Evangelion‘s Asuka for the introduction. My classmates were unimpressed – animated media just wasn’t feminist enough for them – but I was really proud of it, and became hooked on vidding.
