Hi there, and welcome to the club! Happy vidding!!!! I think you are already doing a lot of the right things in terms of getting involved with the community and improving your vidding - following other vidders, commenting on their posts, watching their vids and so forth. I used to have a lot of other resources on my web site but that is currently down and I am not sure I will get it up again. In terms of more hands-on support with vidding you can think about getting a beta or mentor, somebody to give feedback on WIPs and talk to about vidding stuff in general. On DW/LJ most people will just give positve and ecouraging comments on vids that are posted and only offer suggestions, constructive critizism or critique when specifically invited to do so (e.g. as a beta or mentor)to make sure it's wanted and not upsetting anybody. However, you need to build a bit of 'social capital' first, e.g. interact with people on their journals and threads so that they get to know you and what your are into as most people are fairly busy and might not respond to requests otherwise.
I've chequed out your vids and as you vidded Christine F I am assuming you are German??? In which case you might also want to join the VidUKon community on LJ/DW/tumblr/twitter. This years con was the weekend just gone and we do have attandees from all over the world, but even if you can't make the way to Cardiff it's a good way to get more involved with things. If you are open to the idea to get some feedback on the Christine F and re-edit it I'd be open to the idea to beta it as I might consider it for next years Eurovision Show at VidUKon. Feel free to PM me via DW.
