Festivids insta-recs
Masterlist is live, and there are more than 200 vids to ingest. *evil mastermind hands* So much for getting work done today.
A few links straight off:
Mine mine mine. Someone made me a vid for the underappreciated Ralph Fiennes/Angela Bassett SF Y2K movie Strange Days, Strange Times, which somehow manages to cram in pretty much everything I mentioned in my Dear Festividder letter. Action, confusion, anarchy, virtual reality, corruption, drugs, sex (consensual and non-), betrayal. Set to The Black Keys, no less.
And hey, not one but three Strange Days vids this year! Sleep No More by ? knocks it out of the park with a Janelle Monae song and great editing. From all the different facets of "walking dead," to Mace shaking Lenny back into reality physically and metaphorically, to perfect little moments like the "bling" watch/"soul" hand shake. Meanwhile, Head in the Sand by ? uses a dark, Rammstein-like song in I think Afrikaans to great effect in capturing the whirl of perverted action and the confusion of reality and VR that so many of the characters deal with.
Then I watched the two vids for Defiance, because I like that show and it was another source I'd requested. Promptly teared up at Breath Me by ? (which I think is supposed to be "Breathe Me"?), a delve into Irisa's fragile/troubled side and the importance of her father-daughter relationship with Nolan. And! Turns out I am among the several recipients of Who will save us? by ?, a vidlet set during the pilot in which the motley crew of outsiders joins together to fight a common enemy before trying to integrate into the town-family. Yay. I have never received a treat before.
Soooo many morrrre vidsssss to try.
