Dear Festividder
Overview: I'm pretty open musically! There's music that I've never been able to get into at all (very scream-y music, stuff without a strong melody) but as long as the song fits the vid, that's the priority. In terms of vids, I hate dialogue in vids, and I get migraines, so strobing/very quick flashing lights are maybe something to be avoided, but other than that, there are no strong dislikes. I do tend to prefer serious vids over humorous ones, but my definition of "serious" is pretty broad, and I've definitely seen humorous vids I've liked, so again, whatever works for the vid. Mostly, what I want out of a vid is to feel something, or to see canon in a new light.
Bright Summer Night: First of all, if you actually matched on this, way to go. I love the atmosphere of this series, and I love its humor, and I love love love its character work. I'd really love a vid that captures the feeling of watching BSN.
Elementary: This is maybe a really boring vanilla prompt in some ways, but Watson and Sherlock's relationship is both incredibly lovely and heartfelt, and in some ways a kind of strange ferris wheel of power dynamics and emotional turmoil, and I would be interested to see a vid that captures that.
Higher Ground: Lean into the late 90s angst of it all. Shelby/Daisy/Scott are the characters that amuse me most, but you do you. Also, that slash there is intentional; if you want to make an OT3 vid, I can handle it.
The Brothers Bloom: There are really only four characters in this movie, and I love them all, so I'm not going to ask for a specific character's arc—although I would be happy with a vid focused on any of them, or all of them, or the relationship between any two or three of them. Mostly, I love the aesthetic of this movie, and—to quote Bloom in one of the deleted scenes—"I love a good tonal shift." I love the way it hops between funny and sentimental and menacing and wry on the turn of a dime, and you're never quite sure what's next. I would love a vid that reflected that feeling.
The Baby-Sitters Club: Just give me good old-fashioned friendship feels, and we'll be good.
Into the Woods: I may have aimed too high with requesting this one; Into the Woods is my favorite story in any medium. I don't really know what to ask for. Pick a theme from the show and make a vid about it. Or follow one of the characters. (Maybe not the men? although I dunno, there are interesting parallels you could make between the Baker's story and the Witch's...) Or break down the Act I/Act II dichotomy. Celebrate all the children of the show. Or all the parents. Make a vid about metanarratives. Or about grief, or wishes, or bargains. I DON'T KNOW, don't talk to me, I have to go cry about Into the Woods now.
