Festivids 2011 vid #7: Livin' In the Sunlight, Lovin' In The Moonlight (to Batman for sweetestdrain)
For a long while I thought I wasn't going to be able to make a 7th treat. I'd been looking around for vidsongs to a lot of different sources (Contact, Clueless, While You Were Sleeping, Dellamorte Dellamore) but none of them were grabbing me or at least presenting me with a frictionless vid idea that I could just churn out. While looking at the ( Read more... ) -
Festivids 2011 vid #6: Jailbreak (to the original Star Wars trilogy, for colls)
Making all these vids over my Christmas vacation was so much fun that I didn't want to stop. So when I saw the last round of pinch hits go up, I knew I wanted to grab this one.
Colls had suggested 70s or 80s but was worried about it being cheesy but was happy for something fun and actiony. 'I can do that', I thought to myself. Now, I actually have ( Read more... ) -
Festivids 2011 vid #5: Ballroom Blitz (to Ghostbusters for SDWolfpup)
So by this point, I'm starting to feel pretty good about my Festivids vids. I was happy with my assignment and I'd done three treats! But there I was, on New Year's Eve 2011 thinking to myself "There's still time for more vids". So I go back to the Dear Festividder letters and look over the sources. I'm not sure precisely how it happened, all I ( Read more... ) -
Festivids 2011 vid #4: Papa's Got A Brand New Bag (to Maru for Gianduja Kiss)
Continuing the "wouldn't it be a shame if" theme, I was delighted to see that the internet's favourite kitty had been requested for Festivids but, I thought to myself, what if nobody makes a Maru vid! Of course, my fears were unfounded as unknown to me a very very excellent, vid with humour love and tenderness was being made in the form of Outside ( Read more... ) -
Festivids 2011 vid #3: Livin' On A Prayer (to Rocky and Rocky II for sisabet)
Next up on my "it would be a real shame if there wasn't" list was for sisabet but it wasn't to this song. Originally I really really really wanted to do the Apollo/Rocky slash vid she asked for because damn that training montage footage is about the best thing ever put to film. So there I am listening for vidsongs when I ask braver_creature what her favourite over- ( Read more... ) -
Festivids 2011 vid #2: Doomsday (to Independance Day for fan_eunice)
My rationale for treat-making this year was simple. 1) I would actually make treats this year. 2) They would exist because it would be a shame if they didn't. The reason for this treat was almost entirely due to

Festivids 2011 vid #1: You Make Me Feel So Young (to Mary Poppins for stephantom)
For Festivids this year, I was very conservative in the sources that I nominated. I wanted to make sure that whatever show or movie I was matched on, I would know it really well, would be emotionally invested in and would be able to do fun or interesting things with. When I was matched on Mary Poppins I was delighted. I mean, what a great movie. ( Read more... ) -
Festivids!
Festivids is upon us and it's filled with awesome!
I received two great vids - a totally tripped out and stunning Jigoku vid and a totally charming, sweet and fun Venture Bros vid. Woohoo!
Big long recs list will have to come later but first up is an awesome Festivids vid you've not seen yet. You must correct that immediately.
