A Nonexhaustive list of #festivids recs as there are 98 vids and I love them all they are all my precious children but these are my children I want you to pay attention to right now (and also talk to me about)
1. eyes.lips.face - Jenna Marbles is a BEAUTY BLOGGER!!!
6. Personal Jesus (Fleabag): WHO DID THIS OMG WHO IS THE GENIUS??? I sent an all caps text to a friend that read: THIS IS HOW YOU GET ME TO WATCH FLEABAG
7. A Gorgeous Vid Moment (Queer Eye): I mean I am so fucking INSPIRED RIGHT NOW AND IT'S REALLY DUSTY IN HERE MY EYES ARE WATERING and I can't believe I am having all these emotions to this song but I feel like I am hearing it for the first time
9. what's to come (Jesus Christ Superstar): I always thought Buffy was Jesus but I was so fucking wrong. She's not even IN THIS - Jesus/Judas and do what you need to with this information because it is inspired!
14. Higher Love (Xanadu): I am constantly in awe of the shit vidders can pull off and this makes Xanadu the best goddamn movie of all time (which puts present day me in total agreement with 4 year old me)
16. Untitled Goose Vid (Untitled Goose Game): believe the hype this vid does not disappoint and honestly this goose is still the hero we both need and deserve
18. Deja Vu (The Silenced): Chilling, heartbreaking, beautiful - this vid has put the movie at the top of my Must Watch list and this is a super enthusiastic rec
19. Grounds for Divorce (Hamlet 2009): on the advice of my physician, I limit David Tennant sources but damn... this vid convinces me to add this to the queue and I'm kinda mad about it but way more impressed
23. cut me down (US): the tight focus on Red and Adelaide's connection (and disconnect) and identity and just... I mean the movie fucked me up and this vid continues in the same fashion, so kudos (did I kudos? I should)
24. Gravity (Run Lola Run): I haven't watched RLR this millenium but I remember it was the first time I was all "Oh, he's fine but you can do so much better" and it marks a seminal point in my development. This vid kinda redeems Manni for me idek
25. Pity Party (Ready or Not): The editing on this is so tight and every single thing is so well done that it causing me actual despair and I cannot rec it enough
26. Triangles (Pennyworth): I had no idea that Alfred was in a poly trio with Thomas and Martha and I REALLY SHOULD HAVE FIGURED THAT OUT BEFORE, so this vid is doing a public service. So many things now make sense, thank you vidder

That Awkward Moment when you are talking about one husband to the other husband and that husband interrupts & also knows you are totally talking about him and also you are so whipped Lan Xichen and I feel like Hot Daddy would be disappointed in you but instead he's just resigned
Someone needs to sit Lan Xichen down and explain when you have a terrible feeling in your gut like this, it's a warning sign and red flags are not collector's items -- they are RED FLAGS
part of me wonders which face is real, too? I'm like Hot Daddy in that way - is it this total cool placid sociopath thing Meng Yao has going right now? Is it something else? Does he contain multitudes? Is he just chaotic weaponized dimples?
We had the most dramatic death scene ever, One Beautiful But Audacious Back From the Dead and Possibly (!) Evil(?) Dude hiding from his Tragic Widow Husband only to be revealed by his flute and a wrist grasp of recognition that is truly gasp inducing
THEN we flash back to their meet cute where Wei Wuxian is like “I hate you, you uptight fuddy duddy” at Lan Wangji (Tragic Widow Dude pre Tragic Widow), finds out that Lan Wangji did one *slightly* nice thing and is suddenly “DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?”
Lan Wangji is not amused. You can tell by how he doesn’t move his face
Some of you might be kind of puzzled about how the process works “what do I do with a vidder if I win their services?” (and some of you have had an idea storyboarded for 10 years, lol).
There are a lot of different way to approach this
As an example I’ve completed 2 commissioned/auction vids in the last year
You can say “I want this song and I want x to happen and I want it to be this POV and also I want Arthur Dayne in it I know he only shows up once in the series, MAKE IT WORK”
Up next is @lithiumdoll who is offering MCU, Leverage, Person of Interest, Highlander the Series, Farscape, FInal Space and is also open to potentially more sources
