periru3Hello Festividder!
First of all, thank you in advance for whatever wonderful creation I will be receiving from you! I cannot wait to see what I get :D
I guess let's just start with some general likes and dislikes:
Likes: 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, and in general love 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 also love musicals and showtunes (especially Sondheim), but it needs to be a really good match for me to like them in a vid. I also 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.
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. I don't have any particular visual or content triggers to worry about.
Now lets get into specific fandom stuff!
11.22.63
So to the best of my knowledge the only vids for this are the ones me and my sister have made, and I would looove to see more content for it. Jake and Sadie are my favorite Stephen King couple, I love them so much. I love Sadie and her perfect beautiful face and I love Jake looking at her perfect beautiful face. But I also love the actual plot. This is one of my favorite time travel stories. I absolutely love the idea of someone going back in time to change something but having to wait years there to do it. So I'd be here for a shippy vid, or here for a time travel vid, or here for a conspiracy theorizing and saving JFK vid. Really whatever.
Arrival
This is a movie I love a great deal and it has some very personal associations for me. I love how this movie is told, with the twist hiding in plain sight the whole time, and how it changes completely on rewatch. I also love the focus on linguistics as something that would play a crucial role in first contact with aliens. For this, I would love a vid about grief and loss, or a vid about timey wimeyness, or a vid about language and communication with aliens, or some combination of the three! Also it is WILD to me that Amy Adams wasn't nominated for an Oscar for this. Just absolutely bizarre.
Bound
Jennifer! Tilly! My! Beloved!!!! God I love this movie. It has everything. And by everything I mean hot lesbian sex, Jennifer Tilly, and heists! What more could you possibly want from a movie? Truly give me whatever you want for this one and I'll be happy.
Crashing
So I recently watched this show for the first time and like... I like the show, it's very funny, but honestly the central love triangle stresses me the hell out and I think Fleabag is a generally tighter show. That said, I am OBSESSED with Sam and Fred's fucked up little dynamic. They're disasters. And by "they" I mean "Sam." The way he behaves to Fred is kind of inexcusable and if he were actually straight and just that needy for attention he would be repulsive to me, but no, he's repressed and gay and a mess and I absolutely love everything about him. His rituals aren't even intricate. He just touches Fred constantly with no plausible heterosexual explanation. I love it so much. So pretty much I'd be here for a Sam/Fred vid or a character study of either of them (which would obviously still sort of be a Sam/Fred vid since there isn't exactly much footage of them not all over each other)
Face/Off
This is genuinely one of my favorite movies. It's bonkers. Nick Cage and John Travolta are so unspeakably fun to watch for every second of this movie. I just want a vid about the plot of this movie. Make me a vid about Nick Cage and John Travolta switching faces and being absolutely unhinged. That's all I want. If you feel compelled to ship these two weirdos, go for it, and the crackier the better.
Films directed by David Cronenberg
Speaking of unhinged, what I want more than anything for this one is a vid about the absolutely crazy-town-banana-pants sexuality of David Cronenberg movies. Anything can be sex according to David Cronenberg. Video games? Sex. I can't wait to penetrate Jude Law with this new gaming console. Surgery? Sex. Kristen Stewart wants to crawl into your medical marvel of a surgically altered body through your mouth and live there. Car Crashes? I haven't actually seen this one, but that's sure as hell sex. What could be hornier than hurling towards your possible demise in a metal box? Just give me a vid as weird and horny and weirdly horny as befits this man's filmography.
M*A*S*H
I love this show so much. There are lots of vids I'd be happy to receive for this. I'd love a Hawkeye/BJ vid. I'd love a character study of practically any of the main or recurring characters who aren't Frank (and my loyalties have pretty firmly shifted at this point from Trapper to Beej but that doesn't mean I couldn't enjoy a good Trapper vid). I'd love a fun ensemble vid, or a vid about the horrors of war. Really I'm pretty easy to please with this one. I haven't finished the show (I'm in season 9) but I'm pretty well spoiled so don't worry about that.
Phantom of the Paradise
I just think this movie is fun and weird and wish I'd seen it sooner! I only discovered it in the last couple years and it's a delight. I'm pretty easy to please with this one, I'd just love to see a vid for it because its so weird and pretty. I will tell you, though, that I LOVE me some Beef, Beef is my style icon, so whatever you make please at least throw in a little bit of his amazing face and outfits.
The Road to El Dorado
Look, we all know there's only two valid types of vids to make for this movie, right? Give me Miguel/Tulio or give me the OT3, as long as it's queer, shippy, and full of hijinks, please and thank you.
Sports Night
This show and specifically Dan Rydell are so beloved to me. Dan Rydell would be my fictional husband if someone (it's my sister) hadn't called dibs. I just love this anxious little sports guy so much. I'd say my first choice for this one would be a Dan/Casey vid or a Dan character study, but I'd also love a vid about Natalie or Isaac or a nice ensemble workplace family vid.
