Dear Festividder
Jan. 8th, 2011 01:29 amDear Festividder,
I think the number one thing I want out of my vid this year is joy. I want a vid that makes me laugh or warms the cockles of my heart or incites squee noises only audible to dogs. I am not up for angst or woe unless we are mocking angst and woe. A couple of my requests fall into this category; if you got matched on those/decide you like them better than the one you matched on, please keep in mind: I only want angst and woe if it is funny! Otherwise: happy happy joy joy. As general vid content and maybe also something to consider when selecting your music.
My taste in music spans decades--I like rock and pop and glam and jazz and swing and indie internet-famous geeks and alternative (whatever that encompasses at this point) and some punk and funk and soul and folk and a little country, mostly if it's funny. I like lyrics with some cleverness or snark to them (I have been guilty of punny vidding the last few vids I worked on). I like stuff with a beat you can bop along to. I've been known to refer to songs as "overproduced, but in that way that I like," though stripped down singer-and-guitar or singer-and-piano or even a capella can work for me too.
I don't have much to add to my fandom-specific notes, other than to say that of course all the details are optional and it's entirely possible you will have some brilliant idea completely different from everything I suggested.
Thank you for making me a vid.
