Festivids 2019 Letter
Dear Festividder,
As always, thank you for making a vid for me. I don't really have any specific prompts for you, just me rambling on about why I like the thing. Which often just turns in to me saying I like the thing so I don't know how helpful my letter is going to be for you so... Have fun!
Music
I like all genres of music so feel free to choose any song you like but I do appreciate unlikely song choices for vids. And to be honest, a not so insignificant number of songs are songs that I love because they were used in vids that I love. So I am very easily won over in terms of music.
General Vidding Likes
I also like all sorts of vids whether they be ensemble or character driven vids, vids with dialogue audio, vids with heavy effects, vids that are serious, vids that a funny, etc. So really, go with whatever angle or direction you want. But the thing I really love in vids is "flow", where the movement and shapes in one clip flow in to the next. It's my jam.
Planet Hulk (2015)
I'm not a huge comics reader. I'm kinda a little scared to get in to them but I know I would get too in to them and end up buying them all. Planet Hulk was really just a series I read because of Steve & Bucky (sorry Hulk) and the setting sounded really cool. Gladiator style AU, cool costumes, dinosaurs and of course Steve's unending love for Bucky.
So I would love a vid about Steve and Bucky. I know vidding 2D stuff isn't the easiest so however you want to do it, kudos to you.
Monument Valley (Video Game)
I think I have requested this nearly every Festivids and look... I know there are significant hurdles in terms of vidding a mobile game that is played in portrait. But the game is just so pretty! And the puzzles are so cool! So I'll probably continue to request this every Festivids just in case someone wants to take this prompt on. And if you do, you will have my utmost respect.
Florence + the Machine (Music Videos)
I am a huge Florence + the Machine fan. She is probably my favourite singer and I have certainly made a lot of vids to her songs. But I also really like her music videos.
So I would love a vid that brought all her music videos together, whether its with an overarching narrative or simply just a visual exploration. I also don't mind if its to a song that is not by Florence either.
Jenna Marbles (YouTube Videos)
I don't really watch a lot of "YouTube" YouTubers and I know I don't know a lot of the big names. Jenna Marbles was a name I had heard before but I assumed I wouldn't be interested and that is certainly the case for her earlier content. But it turns out that her videos in recent years such as A Full Face of Rhinestones, Giving My Boyfriend Acryclic Nails, I Made A Train For My Dogs and My Dogs Try On Halloween are actually right up my alley. And I'm not saying I am the same age as her but her adventures as a (now) "33 year old lady!" really speak to me, you know.
So I would love a video about all the random stuff she has done in her videos in the last couple of years.
Mortal Engines (2018) [SAFETY]
I haven't read the books so I know don't know how accurate the movie is but I enjoyed this movie a lot. I love the steampunk vibes and it reminded me a lot of the Bioshock games (which I also love).
An ensemble vid or a character focus vid on Hester Shaw or Anna Fang would be great.
李子柒 Liziqi (Web Series)
This is also a YouTube channel I only started watching recently but it is absolutely gorgeous. I think there is something very calming about her videos that make them lovely to watch.
So I would love a video that shows all the lovely the things that she makes and the lovely way that it is filmed.
Midsommar (2019) [SAFETY]
Another movie that I watched recently that I like. I'm not a huge fan of horror but I like films like this instead of your typical slasher horror. I also like the visuals in this with the brightness and the colours.
So a general overview type vid or a vid that just focusing on Dani would be cool.
