Dear Festividder,
Firstly, a pre-emptive thank you for making a vid for me. I find Festivids ridiculously exciting regardless so if you want to ignore my prompts below and make whatever vid inspires you then please go ahead. I will still love any vid you make in any of the fandoms below.
However, if you would like some more direction (or someone out there would like to make me a treat :) then read on!
The music that I listen to and like tends to have a lot of variety, I have everything on my iPod from Metallica to Lady Gaga and country to rap. But if I had to pick a genre then it would be alternative I guess, although don't ask me to define what alternative is. But I do like music used in vids that you wouldn't expect would fit ie. 'Vogue' being used for 300. This is probably why I requested heavy metal for an Angry Birds fan vid. But seriously, if the music works with the vid then I will probably love it.x
Let me also just state up front that I have no ideas for the music for a lot of my requests. The only idea I had was for the aforementioned Angry Birds. So really, music is completely up to you and I have generally left it out of the prompts.
El Mariachi Trilogy
I love these movies for somewhat shallow reasons. I like Antonio Banderas in them. I like Salma Hayek in them. I like Johnny Depp in them. I even like Enrique Inglesias in them when I can't say I really about him otherwise. I also the guns in this. I like Antonio shooting guns, I like the guns in the musical instrument cases, I like the rocket launcher in the guitar case. I like Agent Sands shooting blind. I like Salma throwing her knives. So shallow prompt is shallow and somewhat violent. So I would love an action heavy vid, full of all the cool shootouts and action sequences.
Or a vid focusing on the Mariachi would also be cool.
Or a general ensemble vid will also be equally cool.
And I haven't watched these movies in a while so you can probably make any type of vid you want and I will be overcome with joy at just seeing the footage again.
Mirrormask
I love Neil Gaiman as a writer. The stories he writes and the themes he explorers cater exactly to my personal tastes and Mirrormask is no exception. I love the story, I love Helena and I love the visuals of the movie. So really, anything at all to do with movie is fine by me.
But if you want a prompt, I have always been interested in exploring how the drawings on Helena's walls correspond to the land. So I would love to see something along those lines.
Angry Birds
Okay, I'll admit that I only requested this to see if someone would actually vid it but the more and more I think about it, the more I love the idea of an Angry Birds fanvid. I never would have thought about nominating it as a fandom (so thank you to whoever did) but I think it has the opportunity to be such an epic vid.
That is also why I suggested something heavy metal for the music or perhaps something dramatically over the top.Requiem for Dream! Dammit, now I really want an Angry Birds fanvid to Requiem for a Dream. That would be hilarious!
But seriously, any vid at all would be awesome and you would have my utmost admiration if you do make a vid for Angry Birds. I do actually enjoy the game and I am so very close to finally finishing all the levels so a vid would be like the best cut scene ever.
Moulin Rouge
I do love the visuals in this film, the colours and the sets and the costumes. And I do love the story as well but I would love to see a vid focusing on the background characters, specifically the other courtesans there and how they never had a Prince Charming come to whisk them away from all this.
But failing that, DANCING!
Chronicles of Riddick
I would love to see a vid focusing on Kyra (or Jack as she was known in the first film)
The Mighty Boosh
I am actually only halfway through the second season but I am totally fine with being spoiled for the rest of the seasons so go wild. The Might Boosh is such a *unique* show so anything highlighting that *uniqueness* would be awesome. I think in my original prompt I just wrote: The songs! And the dancing! And the outfits! So really, if you pick this, just have fun!
The IT Crowd
Office shenanigans! I love all the characters in this but I think I may love Moss most of all so if you want to focus on him that would be fab but otherwise, exploring the sheer amount of crazy things that happen in that office would be hilarious.
Red - 2010
Firstly, there are so many awesome actors in this that I will be perfectly happy with an ensemble action-y vid.
But if you want a further prompt, I would love to see a vid focused on Victoria's character. I think the moment I fell in love was during the banquet when she took off her heels and put on combat boots. Long have I lamented the sheer ridiculousness of movies and tv showing women deliberately going in to combat wearing ridiculous shoes so I actually cheered when I saw that little moment.
So, dear festividder, if you needed some extra info I hope my rambling notes help otherwise have fun vidding and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Cheers, Mith
