festivids

It's really, really hard to come up with requests for festivids sign-ups without giving myself vid bunnies I really, really want to keep. I also thought it was going to be hard to come up with six requests; I think the harder thing for me is going to be coming up with a set of requests that is balanced in terms of gender if nothing else--I think there should be more vids about women, and while I don't think that this should exclude the existence of vids about men, I do think that if I only ask for vids about men I close off any possibility that I will get a vid about women; this is common sense on the face of it but something I have to rewrite my socialization to recall. If I were making a feminist statement I could draw up a list of requests that were only for vids about women, but instead I am drawing up a half-and-half list and letting fandom match-up and vidder preference fall where they may. (And the details are optional. I could still get things other than what I ask for: an uncertainty of unassignable awesomeness value.)

what was that I don't even

I should have expected Glee fandom would deal with Emma's OCD with all the sensitivity of a piano to the head. I... don't even... I think my key complaint here is that... no, I can't even.

maybe this time we could avail ourselves of extant resources before beating our heads on the wall

Does anyone have any experience with lip syncing live action vid material? Or hell, know anything from anime vidding that would translate? Or if you don't have any personal experience, do you know of any tutorial/technical meta written on lip syncing?
