Dear Festividder 2020
Oct. 24th, 2020 02:44 amThank you so much for making me a vid!!! I’m excited to see what you come up with.
General vid likes and dislikes: I’ll be happy with any music choice as long as it fits the vid you’re making! I’m very here for unusual and creative sound choices. One thing I’m not wild about is vids that have a ton of source dialogue over the whole thing (especially if it’s a song with lyrics) but a little is fine. If you have ideas for how to incorporate audio for the sources where visuals are scarce, go for it! Feel free to get creative with effects, outside sources, etc. too, as long as it meshes well with the source material and doesn’t deviate too wildly in tone/theme.
Aniara (2018) [SAFETY]
Warning up front: this movie is pretty dark/depressing/existentially nightmarish. I haven’t seen it for a while, but it for sure contains depictions of depression, suicide, child death, and a queer relationship ending tragically. If that doesn’t sound like something you want to watch in 2020, skip this one!
I would never have thought to nominate this but I’m so psyched someone else did!!! This movie is absolutely gorgeous and sad and made me feel a lot of things. I’d love any vid for it, but just to throw out a couple ideas: something about the Mimarobe and Isagel’s relationship, finding reasons to live in deep space, anything using the beautiful space visuals and the rapidly-expanding time scale.
Hadestown – Mitchell
I love this musical, the aesthetic is so strong. The music is widely available (the original cast recording is probably my favorite of the various albums) but I don’t know what visual source is out there other than some clips on youtube. Whatever you can pull together to use works for me, whether that’s the filmed Broadway clips, live performances of the music, behind the scenes, still images, footage from other sources you want to pull in—it’s all good! I’d love a vid about the socialist/organizing angle they brought to it on Broadway, or about Persephone and Hades, or a Eurydice character study!
Hilda (Cartoon)
This cartoon has the sweetest aesthetic and tone. I love Hilda’s relationship with her mom, and I’d dig a vid about that or about the weird and magical worldbuilding and the various creatures Hilda encounters! Her friends are wonderful too, I’m always here for a friendship vid.
Los Espookys (TV)
I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS ON THIS SHOW. I’d be so here for an ensemble friendship vid, or a vid focused on literally any of the main characters. Úrsula and Tati sibling vid? Renaldo horror enthusiasm vid? Andrés magical intrigue vid? General spooky weirdness vid and silly effects vid? All great!!
Speed Racer (2008) [SAFETY]
This movie is an assault on the eyes and I love it so much. I just want to see something fun and visually weird!!! Also, I’m a fan of the Togokahn siblings, bc I’m predictable.
The Strange Case of Starship Iris (Podcast)
Space crime found family of my heart…..this is the trickiest source on this list to vid, obviously, so I would be over the moon about absolutely anything you created for it!! Traditional vid, fake trailer, whatever you want to go for. Arkady/Violet is a good ship but also every character and ship is good. I don’t know how you would visually depict space bees but if you did it I would be in awe of you forever.
