buy yourself a vidder!
It's time once again for the Vividcon Vidder Auction! Bidding starts on Monday and runs for a week; available for purchase are dualbunny, jmtorres, lithium_doll, sisabet, and... me!
If you need a reminder of the kinds of vids I do when left to my own devices, you can check out my vids at my site.
In an entirely transparent attempt to wheedle money out of those of you who are too kind-hearted to force your ideas on other people (even people who asked for it!), I'm offering two separate possibilities for bidders.
OPTION 1: make me vid your idea
Viddable fandoms: Battlestar Galactica, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who (Nine and Ten), due South, Farscape, Firefly, Gilmore Girls, Heroes (contingent on getting viddable source), Lord of the Rings, Slings & Arrows, Veronica Mars, Wonderfalls; plus pretty much any movie, if I have or can get the source, although I can't promise to vid it WELL if it's something I haven't already seen (feel free to check with me about this).
Music: I am willing to try almost anything, although I reserve the right to veto a song in the event that I absolutely cannot stand it; check with me in advance if you're worried. My vids will give you some sense of my eclectic and occasionally obscure musical tastes, but be aware that I also love hip-hop and alt-country and world music and all sorts of other stuff I haven't had an excuse to vid yet.
Genre: I've vidded slash, femslash, het, gen, character studies, ensemble pieces, angst, schmoop, snark, thinky stuff, and fluff. Apparently I fear no genre except outright comedy, which I have never tried and am not at all sure I could pull off, but if you've got an idea, I'm happy to make the attempt.
Supervision: I'm pretty flexible about the bidder's degree of involvement. If you have a very specific idea (particular visuals with particular lyrics) I'm happy to simply be the conduit for your vision; if your idea is more general ("this character! to this song!"), I'll do my best to work with that. However, if you're asking for a vid that necessarily involves several seasons of source (BtVS, Farscape, etc.), I will really appreciate whatever direction you can give me.
OPTION 2: make me vid my idea
Instead of giving me your idea, you can instead choose to bump one of my existing but not-yet-started ideas to the top of my To Do list. I occasionally ramble on about these ideas in my LJ; not all of them are vids I could complete in the auction timeframe, but I do have a number of projects that you could choose to force me to finish by VividCon:
BSG - Six
BSG - pilots
BtVS - Buffy
BtVS - Buffy/Faith
BtVS - Buffy/Angel
ETA: due South - RayK (yes, again)
Farscape - Aeryn
Farscape - John
Gilmore Girls - Lorelai
Veronica Mars - Veronica (2 ideas)
and several movie vid ideas:
Dead Man
Lost in Translation
The Quick & The Dead
If you want details about (or want to hear the song for) one of these ideas before you bid, let me know. Should you choose this option, I'd proceed with my own existing plans for the vid, but I'd be happy to give you as much of a window as you'd like on the process of creating it; for example, you could have dibs on seeing any early drafts.
Details about how and where to bid will be forthcoming on the vividcon LJ and list. For those of you who think you don't have enough money to buy a vidder, I will simply remind you that dualbunny and I pooled our resources last year to buy sweetestdrain (whom neither of us could have afforded alone) and made her do our bidding.
In conclusion, I am starting to freak out slightly about having volunteered for this craziness terrific opportunity. Eeek.
