Dear Festividder (2017-2018)

Dear Festividder,

Thank you so much for making me a vid! I am so excited to see what you come up with and I'm sure it'll be amazing. I love all kinds of music so follow your heart and what suits the vid for you. If you're looking for any guidelines, I tend to prefer indie pop, indie rock, hip hop, mashups, top 40, instrumentals, any kind of music that's emotional or that includes dynamic instrumentation. I love all kinds of vids, character studies, feels vids, shipper, meta, experimental, effects-y vids, dance-y vids, fast or slow, dark, angsty or happy. Any rating or content is fine with me. If you need to use limited (not including Uprooted obviously) external source for your vid idea, I'm totally cool with that. I love Festivids so please enjoy yourself, I'm sure I'll love whatever you make!



American Ninja Warrior [TV]

I particularly love the women on this show so I'd love a vid that focuses on them. My favorites are Jessie Graff (Parker's stunt double on Leverage!), Jesse Labreck, Meagan Martin, Allyssa Beird and Kacey Cantazaro but any or all of the women would be amazing to see a vid of. I also love Flip Rodriguez and Jesse La Flair so a vid about either of them would also be great. I think you could make an awesome vid of the narrative of a season (especially Isaac's last season) or of the whole show in general so I'd love to see that as well. If you have a favorite contestant I haven't mentioned, go ahead and vid them as most of all I love the physical challenges on the show and the way the contestants overcome it leading to emotional moments. Outside footage is also encouraged if it helps your vid at all!

Atomic Blonde [Safety]

My favorite part of the movie was Lorraine/Delphine so I would particularly love a vid focusing on them. But I thought the movie was super beautiful and would also love a gen vid about Lorraine being awesome, stylish and kicking ass.


Billy & Billie [TV]

I would most love a Billy/Billie vid but a character vid of either of them would also be wonderful! My favorite episodes are 4 and 10 and I love the shared history aspect of their relationship. I'm less into their work lives (and work friends although I do love Billie & Drew) except for the Billy/Billie scenes that involve them. Feel free to make something happy and shippy or dark and angsty or both!

Halt and Catch Fire [TV]

I would absolutely LOVE a character vid of Cameron who is the cool genius programmer of my dreams. Anything focusing on her being awesome with computers and/or handling her emotions and dealing with other people would be amazing. I also love Donna especially her rise to do her own thing in S2 and would love a vid focusing on that. A Cameron/Donna vid (platonic or romantic) would also be incredible as it's my favorite relationship on the show. I have a serious thing for Lee Pace and love how he infuses Joe with charisma and captures his desire to make a visionary product while struggling with his own demons. I do enjoy the Joe/Cameron relationship as well (Cameron/Tom is cute too) but don't like Joe/Sara so less of that. I hate Gordon (he's the woooorst) and would prefer to only include him as much as necessary in an ensemble vid or vid focusing on one of the other characters. I would love to see an ensemble vid about the work involved to create the Giant in a S1 vid or the struggles of creating Mutiny in S2 and beyond. I'm not a fan of Joe and Gordon's plot in S2 (except for the Mutiny stuff) so would prefer less focus on that. A vid celebrating computers and their possibilities would also be awesome!


Just Jillian [TV]

So I've been in love with Jillian Michaels since 2008 and I've listened to her podcast since then so when I heard she was doing a reality show about her real life that I've heard such amazing stories about, I was ecstatic. I absolutely loved the show and how it showed how hilarious, badass, sweet, awesome and gaaaay she is. I would really love a vid that focused on Jillian's life and highlighting her personality and overcoming the obstacles that come up for her. I think Jillian/Heidi are super cute and while I'd prefer the vid not focus exclusively on Jillian and her kids, her interactions with them are great as well so feel free to include them. A vid focusing on how hot Jillian is would make me super happy too so that would be amazing. It would also be fun to see a vid celebrating Jillian and any/all of her friendships (including Janice!). It's fine to use external footage if needed but please keep it focused on Jillian herself.

Uprooted [Book]

The magic in this book touched me deeply and I would be so honored to receive any kind of vid for it. I would LOVE a vid about Agnieszka's magic and how it's connected to nature and the power that she gets from it. I ship Agnieszka/Kasia SO MUCH and would absolutely love to see a vid about them and the deep connection they share. I also love the complementary magic of Agnieszka and Sarkan's magic and how it becomes more powerful when they join it together so I would love a vid focused on that. Plus I ship Agnieszka/Sarkan too and I am completely for the OT3 so vids for either would be great. I would really love to see any vid exploring the themes and storyline of the book and I am excited to see what a vidder could come up with for this!

The Wire [TV]

I love this show completely but if you're looking for what I'd particularly love vids for, here are some suggestions: Randy, Stringer/Avon, Stringer/McNulty, Kima, Wallace, McNulty, Prez (particularly S4), McNulty/Kima (platonic), Snoop, Dukie, Michael, Omar/Brandon, Carter&Randy or Lester. I'd also love to see vids focused on Baltimore as a city (I LOVE cities) and I would die for a vid that's very meta about the show itself. This fandom needs ALL the vids so please, I'll take anything.




Thank you so much Festividder!
