Festivids 2013 Letter
First of all, you are awesome for doing this! I know that I will like whatever you do for me. And if you are not my assigned vidder but are doing a treat for me, I am just absolutely amazed by your kindness. Second, I like all kinds of music: classical, pop, rock, country, musicals, oldies - if you look at my "40 days of music" meme you may get an idea of that. The main thing for me is that the feel of the music should suit the fandom and/or the story you're telling. By that I mean that yes, it's fine to put a rock or pop song to Sense & Sensibility as long as it feels right for the story or characters. The only type music I don't like is rap. Third, I'm a slasher and welcome anything with slashy tones. However, I also love team and character vids, and you aren't required to be slashy. I'm just not much into het romance, except where I've noted it. If you want to check out my site to see what I've done in the past, my site is http://video.inkquill.com
So here is my list, notes I put with the original submission, and general thoughts.
Big Eden - usually I offer to vid this fandom, but this year I decided to switch things up. Henry and Pike are my favorites so something about either or both of them would be brilliant. Or a vid about the people in Big Eden and how the people around Pike and Henry help and support them would be lovely.
Jeeves and Wooster - this is actually a new fandom for me. I have just finished watching all the episodes with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, and I love this show. Anything would work for me, especially with a period piece of music to showcase the characters. Jeeves is amazing, and I love Bertie - something about their high jinx would be great.
Lewis - I adore both Robbie and Hathaway, so anything with the two of them or about one of them would be good. However, I don't really want to see either of them in an overt het relationship - slash or gen is more my cup of tea
MacGyver - I would like to see MacGyver being clever and amazing. Or alternately, something showing his emotional connections to the people he works with. Would prefer not to have an overt het vid, but I don't really ship him with anyone, so minor canon romance references are okay.
Quantum Leap - Music: any, but especially something that Scott Bakula sings would make my day. Sam-centric, Al-centric or a slash vid about Sam/Al would make me very, very happy.
Silk - again, a new fandom for me and I have only seen the first season. I don't mind spoilers, so if you use something from later seasons, I won't mind. I love Martha the most, but an ensemble vid would also work for me. I had a thought that a song like "Pressure" would work for a vid about that side of their court cases and the stuff going on in chambers, but feel free to use whatever song you feel works for you.
Wallander - also a reverse for me, as I did a vid for this fandom last year. You can take a look at that vid if you want to see what I feel about the show. I think music is critical for this fandom, so something atmospheric that fits the gorgeous cinematography contrasted to the horrendous reality of Wallander's world would be great. I don't mind if the music is in a foreign language (I actually was checking out Scandinavian songs for the one I did) or instrumental songs.
Wilby Wonderful - and my final reverse, a fandom that I have vidded for in the past and now I'd like to be on the receiving end. I had thought about the song "Are You Strong Enough to Be My Man", but you don't have to use that, just that I liked Dan's interest in westerns and the combination of a country song. I would prefer the vid to be about Dan and Ducky, not about the het romances, but I wouldn't mind an ensemble vid.
Hope this helps!
