Festivids 2022 - Dear Vidder

periru3Hello vidder who was assigned me for festivids! Thank you in advance for the rad vid you're gonna make me! I don't have much in the way of specific requests or ideas for the fandoms I've requested, but I guess I'll give you some little notes on what I like about them to give you some inspiration.
General likes: I like most types of vids I guess, I love a good character study, an ensemble vid, a shippy vid, I'm pretty much down for whatever. I love thoughtful song choices and good lyrical matches, in general I'm a sucker for songs with good lyrics. I like comedy vids a lot (Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Lonely Island, Bo Burnham, Weird Al, are all great musical sources for these) but I also equally love a good tearjerker. Music-wise I like oldies a lot, I love musicals and showtunes (especially Sondheim), but it needs to be a really good match for me to like them in a vid, and I like lots of singer-songwriter and indie type stuff, but please don't feel wedded to these genres - I'd rather you make a vid with music you can get excited about vidding and that feels right for the source than for you to get bogged down in trying to accommodate my musical taste.
General dislikes: not a fan of heavy filters over an entire vid or of using audio/dialogue from the visual source (unless it's used sparingly and not over parts of the music with lyrics), other than that, go wild.
Fandom Requests
Deathtrap - I just love how ridiculous and convoluted this movie is. I want a vid with as much weird-ass energy and as many twists and turns as this movie has.
Promising Young Woman - I mean I think it goes without saying but I'd want a vid for this movie to pretty much just be like... a scathing critique of the patriarchy.
For a Good Time Call... - this is a top tier comfort movie for me, I have seen it at least a dozen times, it makes me so so happy. I'm definitely looking for a fun vid about the central relationship of the film, doesn't matter to me if that's in a shippy way or not
Jumanji - I wish for a Bethany vid!!!!!!!!!! I'd love a Bethany character study but I'd also be pumped for a Bethany/Martha vid.
Cabin in the Woods - I am very here for meta horror stuff! I love Marty a lot, I'm also always here for examinations of the final girls trope, I'd also enjoy a vid about the weird organization/cult running the show. I'm down for whatever.
The Faculty - Just give me a big fun ensemble vid full of good campy horror fun and 90s nostalgia. I love this silly movie so much.
Face/Off - Okay, not to be dramatic, but Face/Off is the best movie of all time. I'd love a vid that leans into the extra-ness of this movie. Like this movie deserves a proper, balls to the wall, wild ride of a vid. Let John Travolta and Nick Cage's spectacular acting choices shine. Go crazy.
Sirens - Okay for reals more people need to watch this show. I would kill for six seasons and a movie. I'd pretty much take any vid for this show, but some of my favorite things include Hank and Johnny's friendship (this can also include Brian, they're a great trio), everything about Billy, everything about Teresa, Johnny/Teresa, Brian/Voodoo, just Voodoo, workplace family, whatever I pretty much love everyone in this bar. A Sirens vid existing would make me so happy. (But uuuuuh please don't make an "Odds Are" vid, not because it's overdone but because I'm.... already working on one)

Arrival - This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love the timey wimey-ness, I love the language stuff, I love that it's about grief and love and how those things are inextricably linked, I love Amy Adams and think she should have gotten an Oscar for this role... I just love all of it.
Bound - So like I was prepared for this movie to be sexy (which it super duper is, please do lean into that) but I was not prepared for what an AMAZING neo-noir thriller it was? Like as a gay I came for Jennifer Tilly but I stayed for the plot. I'd love a vid that gets both the sexy lesbianism but also the suspense and the crime and whatnotDeathtrap - I just love how ridiculous and convoluted this movie is.
