Spring Equinox 2019 Letter
Feb. 3rd, 2019 11:52 pmHello vidder, thank you for making a vid for me!! I signed up at the very last minute so I’m going to keep this letter brief. I’m not at all picky about music—use what makes sense for the vid you’re trying to make!
Here are my requests:
Romeo+Juliet (1996)
The aesthetic of this movie is amazing—I’m fascinated by it as an adaptation of Shakespeare and I’d love a vid focused on exploring the absolutely wild world created here. I also remember really liking Harold Perrineau’s performance as Mercutio, so a character vid for him would be great!
Neon Genesis Evangelion
I’ve only recently watched this show for the first time, and I have a lot of feelings about it. I love mechs and these are GOOD WEIRD MECHS. So creepy! So traumatizing to children! I’d love to see something with creepy alien stuff and/or the kids and their relationships and/or the horrors of war. Also Misato/Ritsuko is a good ship and I’d be super happy to get a femslash vid!
Immortals - Tamora Pierce
I loved these books as a kid, and any version of Tortall rendered in a visual format would be so cool to see!!! Women warriors! Animal magic! DINOSAURS! I love Daine and Numair individually as characters but I’m not huge on Daine/Numair, so I’d appreciate it if that wasn’t the focus of the vid.
But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
This movie has a really over-the-top aesthetic and wacky energy that I think would be really fun to play around with, especially the absurd parodies of gender norms and the absolutely surreal use of color. Gotta have a happy gay ending, of course!
Mononoke-hime | Princess Mononoke
I think about this quote all the time: "Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living." It’s a very beautiful movie, both thematically and visually!! I like that it’s not a simple ‘technology=evil/nature=good’ narrative—the morality of the situation is much more complex than that. And I just want to look at Ghibli plants forever.
