Dear Festividder
Yay Festivids! Thank you for making a vid for me <3
I'll outline some prompts and ideas in the following, but my genuine preamble to the whole prompting bit is that I'll always rather watch something you enjoyed making that doesn't fit my prompts than something that does but that you made without feeling it. If you have an idea, go for it! If you don't (yet) have one, keep reading and (hopefully!) get inspired.
General likes: fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek, movement-oriented, heavy on settings and context, character-driven, atmospheric/thematic
Some of my faves, in a thoroughly incomplete list assembled off the top of my head: Just Dance by hollywoodgrrl, OMG by obsessive24, The Monster by violace, Supremacy by Rhoboat, There is Too Much Light in This Bar by AbsoluteDestiny, My Metrocard by seekingferret, Starships by findmeinthealps
I have no hard DNWs or visual/audio triggers; I just have a few preferences:
Last Night in Soho (2021)
This movie was absolutely stunning! As so often with Wright's films, I was much more interested in the visual spectacle of this movie than I was in the plot. That said, if "look at these visuals!" kind of vids are not your thing, I would love an exploration of the parallels between Eloise and Sandie, and also Ms Collins. (This is a safety fandom, so if you decide to watch this movie because I'm prompting it, there are some CWs about portrayal of mental illness and violence against women that should be google-able.)
Nope (2022)
I found the themes of this movie fascinating. This idea that the fascination of the spectacle completely overrides common sense in people is so interesting. I would love to see a vid that explores all the irrational choices people end up making in this movie, and the magnetic pull of the alien that leads them to making these choices, and the absurdity that results from all of it. If that's not your thing, I'm also interested in the Haywood siblings and their family history and how it's tied to the ranch/ the horses.
人生大事 | Lighting up the Stars (2022)
I am a simple fan with simple needs, and those needs are Zhu Yilong playing a human disaster. This movie was just cute, and I so enjoyed seeing him getting to flail around and pull faces and fall off of chairs. I'd love a vid about the human trainwreck that is Mo Sanmei, and about the disaster duo that he and the kid are.
原生之罪 | Original Sin (TV)
This show is SO SILLY, but in such a charming way. I would love a vid about the two leads in the vein of this one -- there's plenty of romantic vids on YouTube (well, not plenty, but a number), but barely anything that gets into how much of a gremlin both Lu Li and Chi Zhen are, and how their disaster energy intensifies whenever they're together. (CW for unapologetic Mainland China copaganda both in the vid and in the show.)
猎罪图鉴 | Under the Skin (TV 2022)
Visuals! Art visuals! I adore all the water visuals in this, and all the arting that Shen Yi does, and how being artistic is used as a stand-in for being queer (no idea if that's intentional, but the show is certainly easy to read that way). Would love a vid that uses all the art stuff, and that focuses on Shen Yi's instability and insecurity -- will be very happy if there's some shipping with Du Cheng in there; they are very cute together.
盗墓笔记 | Daomu Biji Adaptations
TOMB SHOWS. I love cutting them all together. I'd love to see a take on a vid that attempts to capture the chaotic nature of DMBJ -- all of these shows are so different, but they're also kind of all the same, right? What's holding them together? What's the core fascination that makes it all DMBJ? Is it the tombs? The characters? The nonsensicalness? I am most keenly interested in the Iron Triangle over the years, will also happily take a vid that focuses more on Wu Xie, or Pangzi, or Xiaoge separately. I'd prefer a vid that doesn't lean too hard into the Pingxie stuff, just because there are so many Pingxie vids already out there. If you don't care about the Iron Triangle, I'd also happily take a Heihua vid, or maybe just Xiao Hua ... or maybe even Sanshu???
盗墓笔记重启 | The Lost Tomb Reboot (TV)
I would love an emotions vid for this show: middle aged men confronted with their mortality, middle aged men having to figure out their polyamorous relationship. I like the Iron Triangle and have many feelings about them and will take any vid that deals with them either as a close friendship or as a relationship.
Good luck with your vid! <3

I have no hard DNWs or visual/audio triggers; I just have a few preferences:
- please no German lyrics; I'm very picky about what kind of German lyrics I like and it's more likely to be a miss than a hit
- I struggle with traditional romance themes (including queer romance), especially to slow songs
- very subtle facial expressions often go over my head, so if a vid requires being able to read those, I tend to struggle
- I prefer vids that give me some context to the emotions it's showing me; I often end up confused otherwise
