Dear Festividder
Dear Festividder,
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME A VID! I chose these fandoms because any vid to them would make me ridiculously happy as I love all of these shows (Little Miss Sunshine should be a show!), the whole thing not just a small part. So vid whatever you like. Same goes for music. For me, this is about the FANDOM much more than the music and even if I detested the music (which would be hard to do), I honestly would not care because it'd still be a vid in one of my fandoms made for me. So do NOT worry about that or how good your vid is or anything like that because there is no pressure whatsoever. I'm easy, really.
I love all kinds of vidding styles as I'm a huge fan of vidding itself and that is why I love it so much. I love character studies, shipper vids, friendship/enemy/relationship vids, slow vids, funny vids, ensemble vids, crack vids, dance vids, LKBVs, meta vids, sappy vids, effects filled vids, effectsless vids, super fast vids, sexy vids, motion filled vids, political statement vids, vids with lots of colors, vids that makes me cry, avant garde vids, recruiter vids (ALL these fandoms need them!), old style slash vids, action vids, shiny vids and most of all vids that the vidder clearly puts ALL their love into it. I do especially love vids that provoke an emotional reaction but for me aesthetically beautiful vids and deep thinky vids are enough TO make me feel emotional. Another thing I like is character vids that explore a character through a relationship but if that doesn't apply, no worries. I love slash, het, gen, femslash, three/moresomes, and I'm totally cool with any kind of violence/sex (I think my fandoms make this clear). Use of outside source is great if it applies to your idea, go for it!
I love SO many kinds of music. Even in genres I don't mention, I probably like some songs in them and I enjoy hearing new kinds of music so don't worry about that. I know I wrote down some genre and artist suggestions in my requests and feel free to ignore any of that. Here though is a longer list of music genres I am open to and artists that I've loved songs to in case you want any more guidance. However, I LOVE finding new music and learning about artists I've never heard before so feel free to use something in your own library or Pandora one of these artists or use something that's played on the show. And don't worry about if the music matches up perfectly with the fandom in terms of style, lyrics, etc, I mean that's great but as long as it works for your vid idea, it fine with me.
Genres: Pop, hip-hop, rock, rap, indie pop/rock, alternative, musicals, techno, instrumentals, classical, a capella, folk, blues, J-pop, jazz, big band, punk, pop-country, R&B and lots more.
Artists: Adam Lambert, Adele, Allison Iraheta, The Beatles, Coconut Records, Damnien Rice, David Bowie, Eminem, The Feeling, Flobots, Florence and the Machines, Glee Cast (++), Hawksley Workman, Ingrid Michaelson, Janelle Monae, Jason Mraz, Jay-Z, Kanye West, The Kills, Kris Allen, Lady GaGa, Michael Buble, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Missy Higgins, Muse, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, OK Go, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Regina Spektor, Richard Ashcroft, The Roots, Ryan Adams, Stars and Tegan and Sara.
1. Huge - 2010 [TV]
Details: I would love a vid focusing on Becca, Will or Alistair. Other ships/friendships I love are Will/Becca, Trent/Alistair and Ian/Trent. Otherwise an ensemble vid celebrating friendship or just focusing on the campers' struggles would be great.
Music: See Dear Festividder letter.
2. Little Miss Sunshine [Movie] *
Details: I would love a vid about being yourself no matter what anyone thinks or wanting things so bad and dealing with not getting them. A family ensemble vid would be wonderful but I would also love a Olive, Dwayne, Frank or Dwayne/Frank vid. Any vid for this movie though would make me happy so go with whatever you want to do.
3. Mad Men [TV]
Details: I love Sal, Peggy, Don and Rachel the most so character vids about them would be awesome. A strictly platonic vid about Don and Peggy would be amazing especially if you use this season's footage. Anything about Peggy, Betty, Joan or Rachel's journeys so far would be great or just a vid focusing on all the women. Ship wise I like Sal/Elliot, Sal/Ken, Sal/bellhop and Don/Rachel. Please no Pete or Pete/Peggy if possible except in an ensemble context. A vid about the social change or issues of the time would also be fantastic.
4. Modern Family [TV]
Details: I would DIE for a Cam/Mitchell vid as they are totally my favorites and I'm completely in love with them. Individual vids for Mitchell (my favorite) or Cam would also be much loved. I also like Phil, Manny and Alex for an individual vid. Otherwise a family vid featuring everyone would always be fun.
5. Nurse Jackie [TV]
Details: I would LOVE a vid about Jackie, Eleanor and/or Zoey or any combination of those characters (friendship or more) because they're my favorites. Also a vid about Mo-Mo or Thor would be great as well. Pleae no Coop if possible.
6. Project Runway [TV]
Details: The best gift you could ever give me is a Tim Gunn vid because he is a fashion god and rules all. My favorite designers on the show are Austin Scarlett, Jay McCarroll, Laura Bennett, Michael Knight, Christian Siriano, Anthony Williams, Mila Hermanovski, Seth Aaron Henderson and Mondo Guerra and I'd love an individual vid for any of them. Mondo's my current favorite ever so a vid for him would be the second best thing. I'd love to see a vid about the creative process and/or all the different fashion on the show. I'd also love to see a Nina Garcia vid if only one focusing on her hilarious facial expressions. I'd love to see some relationship vids from Austin/Jay, Santino/Andre/Nick/Daniel, Michael/Laura and Kayne/Robert to just a general friendship ensemble vid spanning one or more seasons. On that note, any vid featuring all the drama and great moments throughout the show would be great.
7. Treme [TV]
Details: I'd love to see a vid for Janette or Toni most of all. I'd also love relationship vids for Toni/LaDonna or Creighton/Toni. It would be amazing to have a vid focusing on all the music and dancing on the show or just New Orleans culture in general. I'd also love to see a vid focusing on the struggles of post-Katrina or just an ensemble vid of all the characters rising above it.
8. The Wire [TV]
Details: My favorite characters are Stringer, McNulty, Omar and Kima so any vid about them would be amazing. The kids from S4 (and Wallace) own my heart so any individual/group vid about Randy, Dukie, Michael, Namond or Wallace would be love. Relationships I love either platonic or more are Stringer/McNulty, Stringer/Avon, McNulty/Kima (platonic), Carver/Herc, Omar/Brandon and any kind of Team vid. Anything about Baltimore and more meta thoughts on the series would be ridiculously awesome. Really though, any kind of Wire vid would be the best thing ever.
Feel free to ignore all of this. Thank you again for making this and I hope you have a fun time vid creating :) You're the best!
P.S: Treat vids are always welcomed! And man how I wish I had nominated The Rocky Picture Horror Show (for a Dr. Frank n' Furter vid-a little obsessed right now) and The Social Network (for Mark/Eduardo/Sean-super slashy) as I am dying for a vid from either...although I suppose the latter would be hard to get a hold of source for so I suppose it's for the best.
