Festivids recs 2019-2020
So much to catch up on. Let's start with @Festivids recs. These were my faves besides the ones made for or by me:
Horror vids are killin' it this year, pun intended. Heed all the warnings:
Tag, You're It by @winterevanesce a.k.a. Kitty (Tag/Real Onigokko)
Raising Hell by @bingeling (Ready or Not)
Let Me In by @trelkez (Train to Busan) - made me cry
Good as Hell by @findmeinthealps.twitter (Midsommar)
<3 and/or energizing/inspiring:
The Fire by @dirty_diana (American Ninja Warrior)
Body Talks by @odessie (Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movies)
Garden of Your Mind by @sandalwoodbox.ao3 (Critical Role/Dungeons and Dragons) - I did not know the musician behind Symphony of Science did a similar compilation with Mr. Rogers audio clips! Oh no, feelings about a source I barely know
Try Everything by @walkthegale.twitter (Bon Appetit Test Kitchen/Gourmet Makes) - The other Gourmet Makes vid got lots of attention but this one spoke more to me, about trying things even if they're not guaranteed to work
Relationships:
Queens by @thingswithwings (Killjoys) - Aneela/Delle Seyah. I got worried when the first few clips cut off in weird places or had talkyface, but wow, did it pay off to keep going
Children's Work by @trelkez (Star Trek: Discovery) - Michael and Spock, then and now
:D
Untitled Goose Vid by @eruthros and @thingswithwings - Well structured and well cut for maximum enjoyment
Thinky:
Dance Monkeys by @cupidsbow (Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movies) - This vid leveled up when the vidder confirmed that the edge of creepiness in the song choice was intentional. ETA: Definitely read the AO3 notes that were posted after reveals.
what's to come by @skygiants (Jesus Christ Superstar live telecast) - I only know the basics about the story and the production but the song and the editing make it clear there's a lot churning between these two and their frenemyship and power dynamics and desired vs. actual legacies
Also:
Cut Me Down by @seinmit.ao3 (Us) - Did I mention how many good horror vids there are this year?
seven devils by @quizkwatsh (Fantastic Four) - Really interesting focus on the horror of the quartet's body transformations and the power other people have -- or had -- over them
D&D 101 by @silly_cleo.ao3 (Critical Role/Handbooker Helper) - Still a sucker for a well-structured vid. Cute and clever and yes, educational
Money Good by @sisabet (Hustlers) - This will gain depth after I see the movie, but for now, great rhythm and sexy dangerous ladies mood
An American Primer by @JinkyO.ao3 (James Baldwin RPF) - Fascinating both in form and subject matter. The captions were helpful.
Also I think we hit the Vidders' Favorite Singers trifecta this year of Vienna Teng, Florence + the Machine and Dessa. Plus Billie Eilish, so maybe it's four now. Almost a Bingo.
