Dear Festividder 2022
Oct. 23rd, 2022 02:22 pmThank you for making me a vid! This is my first festivids, and I'm super excited (but also don't exactly know what I'm doing with this letter sorry). Generally, feel free to ignore these specific prompts and make whatever you want to make :-)
Music-wise, I listen to a lot of folk and pop, but I love discovering new music and would be equally happy with something outside of those genres. I'm very bad at parsing lyrics while watching vids, so please include subtitles if it has lyrics (or other dialogue).
Everything Everywhere All at Once [SAFETY]
This movie was so good, and I'd really love any vid for it. Something that focused on aesthetics and matched the over the top energy would be really fun, as would a character study for any of the main characters, or something that focused on any of Evelyn's relationships. I particularly have a soft spot for Waymond and how the Waymond/Evelyn relationship plays out in the various universes.
Fire Island [SAFETY]
I loved how much this was both very much a modern queer friend group and also a beat for beat pride and prejudice adaptation. I'd love to see something focused on Erin, though I'm not sure whether she got enough screen time for that, or on Noah's friend group and the ensemble cast energy of this movie. A Noah and Howie friendship vid would also be great.
Couple of Mirrors
This was a fun show, and I really enjoyed the republic era setting and the murder mystery/coverup aspect. I'd love something that played with those aesthetics, and/or a character study for any of the female characters, or a Yan Wei/Xu Youyi ship vid.
Daomu Biji Umbrella Fandom
I love tomb shows, and I love that there's a multi option this year! I'd be excited about basically anything you want to make here. I love the iron triangle, I love heihua, and I'd love to see a character study for any of those people. I also love side characters, particularly the female characters (though I would prefer something that isn't super focused on how they all die). For more major characters, it'd be cool to use the umbrella fandom format to focus on how characters grow and change over the years or to do something chaotic and cut them all together. I'd also be happy to see something that was more focused on the plot (such as it is), either in a look how chaotic and contradictory this all is way or trying to piece together a single coherent explanation way. An action/tomb puzzle/monster focused vid would also be fun.
dnw: Wu Xie/Xiaoge only
I haven't seen mystic 9 so feel free to use shots from that or whatnot, but I'm not going to be able to follow anything that focuses a ton on that era.
Tomb of the Sea
Full disclosure I'm writing this letter having only seen 8 episodes of this show. But I will have finished it by January, and I'm already far enough down a tomb show rabbit hole that I know that I'd like to see vids for this. General dmbj likes/dislikes more or less apply here. To give some sand sea specific thoughts, I love Su Nan a whole lot, and I'd love a vid about her being badass! It'd also be super cool to do something with the tone shift of this show and a focus on Wu Xie being the villain/falling into the same role as Sanshu did for him but for Li Cu.
This is How You Lose the Time War
I loved this book, and I loved how detailed its aesthetics for everything were. It could be cool to have a vid that portrayed one (or several) of those very specific settings where they find letters, or the contrasting aesthetics of the two factions, or some kind of red/blue ship vid.
The Wheel of Time
This show is gorgeous, and also full of cool characters and worldbuilding. It'd be cool to do a magic/worldbuilding focused vid that did something with the expansiveness of the world and everyone's focus on history and how it repeats itself. I'd also love something character or relationship focused for Moiraine or Nynaeve or the whole two rivers ensemble.
I'm fine with some gore, but please don't include the torture parts of the whitecloak torture scenes.
I haven't read the books (and definitely don't plan on reading 14 wheel of time books before January), so nothing that will be incomprehensible without that please.
