Dear Festividder

First of all, this is absurdly late, I am very sorry! In no way should this affect your existing vidding plans in any way, I can't wait to see what you've made. But in case it's helpful, and for anyone who might want to make a treat, here's my Festivids signup. You can see previous signups here as well (a lot of the below is copy and paste anyway).

Some kinds of vids that I like include: vids that explore the world of the source, swishy dancey action vids, emotional character-driven vids, vids about awesome women whether focused on one individual or a group of them, vids about people who love each other, vids exploring big thematic ideas and imagery, vids about comedy hijinx.

Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series) RPF, Dropout TV [UMBRELLA], Dimension 20 (Web Series) RPF, Make Some Noise (Web Series), EPIC - Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Albums), The Great Pottery Throw Down (TV), Spy (2015) [SAFETY], Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Concert Film) [SAFETY], Stardew Valley (Video Game), Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (Movies)


Critical Role (Web Series) RPF
I love these nerdy-ass voice actors, and I love how much they love each other. I'd be delighted with anything here, including guests and the wider CR/LA ttrpg scene (if you felt like a crossover with Dimension 20 I'd be thrilled!). I love Matt, Brennan and Aabria as a trio of DMs with their own takes on Exandria, the ways in which the show and the cast has grown and changed over time, and how it still feels like they're just getting started.

I'd appreciate you not using footage from any of Brian Foster's shows on the network.

Dimension 20 (Web Series) RPF
Oh I adore this show. I love every season, but particular faves include Unsleeping City, Escape from the Bloodkeep, The Seven, Starstruck Odyssey, A Court of Fey and Flowers, the Ravening War and Mentopolis. Anything focused on a particular season/world or celebrating the anthology nature of it all or anything else you heart desires would be just wonderful.

Dropout TV [UMBRELLA]
I adore these weirdos so much. Dimension 20 has been my point of entry but I also deeply enjoy the rest of their output and I'm very fond of the whole core cast - Brennan and the Intrepid Heroes, Erika, Sam, Grant, Lily, Trapp, Rekha, Ross, Izzy, the whole gang. I'd love anything about this, whether something about absurdly funny they all are or an ode to the little streaming service that could.

EPIC - Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Albums)
EPIC is a concept album based on The Odyssey, that's being released in a series of 'sagas' of a few songs each. It's all out now apart from the final saga, due soon. I love the music and also the cast and community around it, there are so many amazing animatics etc. I'd love to see whatever you did with this, including incorporating other adaptations of The Odyssey or anything else!

The Great Pottery Throw Down (TV)
I love cozy making things competition shows, and I think this one is one of the best. Keith's frequent tears alone make it incredibly touching, but I love the contestants on every series and how much they grow as artists, plus all of the friendship and camaraderie.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (Movies)
These films are far more charming than I was expecting! The video game jokes alone really tickled me, and while I went in expecting to love The Rock and Karen Gillan's characters, Jack Black as a teenage girl was also surprisingly touching? I'd love an ensemble vid or a vid about Martha and/or Bethany.

Make Some Noise (Web Series)
Another Dropout offering, this is probably my favourite of their shows after Dimension 20. I love all the shenanigans very much!

Spy (2015) [SAFETY]
This is pretty much my favourite film of all time. It makes me laugh so much, and also seeing Melissa McCarthy not just be a brilliant comic actor but also getting to be an action star as a fat woman makes me so so happy. I love Susan, I love Susan and Nancy, and it truly is Jason Statham's greatest film role, I'd love a Rick Ford vid too.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Concert Film) [SAFETY]
I don't have a very specific vision of what a vid of a concert film could look like but I'd be excited to find out!

Stardew Valley (Video Game)
I have spent an ungodly number of hours playing this game over the years, it's just so soothing and delightful.
