My memories of this round will be:

• Impressive vids of atypical source material (comics, paintings, theatrical performances, social movements)
• Lots of space-centric vids -- at least 14
• Being happier with the vid I received than with the vids I made

There are some I haven't watched for spoiler reasons (Pride, Push, Gone Girl), and some I didn't get far ( Read more... )

Festivids is live, and I'm sure there are lots of fabulous vids in the collection, but it almost doesn't matter, because my wonderful amazing like-minded anonymous Festividder

I laughed, I cried, I marveled at people's skills. Or: favorite new & new-to-me vids of those I saw at the con. I only went to two of the ten non-plenary vid shows, so there will surely be more to rec from the streams/DVDs. Stay tuned.

I had a great time at Vividcon this weekend. It was my third time going, over a span of six years, and each one has felt more comfortable than the last.

2. I posted two small fics this week for the book/movie Inkheart. The first has a little primer intro, since I assume few of you know the source:Last Song Before Morning, Dustfinger/Resa, 2,200 words

Happy Passover, Passover celebrators. As I eat scrambled egg over matzoh, I encourage you to (re)watch jetpack_monkey's vid Moves Like Yahweh for a dose of plague-filled, irreverent joy.

Happy National Poetry Month, poetry lovers. I am taking this occasion to -- incredibly belatedly -- rec a podfic (podpoem) susan_voight recorded of my SGA sestina, An Unanticipated Side ( Read more... )

festivids is live. The snow is once more falling thickly. Life could be worse.

This year I received a vid for a source I was particularly hoping for, the movie Take Shelter: Things That Scare Me by cherryice. Thank you, Cherry!

( The vid, like the film, is deeply unsettling... )

1. muskratjamboree is taking suggestions for the vid show. This will be the last MJ and therefore the last MJ vid show, alas. If you are going to MJ and you like vids, consider nominating something to balance out all the One Direction and Teen Wolf recs? Heh. I am scared all over again about Wall Of Squee at the con. Guessing I'll be favoring the meta panel track ( Read more... )
