Dear Festividder,
Thank you so much for signing up to make a vid for me! I hope you have fun this year, and I'll appreciate whatever vid you can make for any of the sources I requested.
Copying some of last year's post...
Music:
The music suggestions I made are only suggestions, but I made them in case you need some direction. Otherwise, I'm open to any kind of music that you think will work for your vid. I've loved or made vids to songs I wouldn't normally listen to. I will say when it comes to vids, I tend to prefer songs with strong melodies and some sort of build.
General vidding preferences:
I love all kinds of vidding styles, from those with clean and straightforward cutting to those with fancy effects, and I'm open to any sort of genre from drama to comedy, romance to action, and everything in between. For Festivids, I'd like that your vid showcase the universe of the souce you choose, and be accessible to those who are unfamiliar with it. This might be easier with an overview vid, but if a character study or relationship vid is more your thing, I'd prefer that your vid have a sense of how those characters interact with the world around them.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure/Bogus Journey [Movie]
Music: Something upbeat
Whoa. These movies are so ridiculous! If you need to narrow it down, I prefer the first movie over the second, but I'd love any vid that captures Bill and Ted's wacky hijinks.
The Crow: Stairway to Heaven [TV]
Music: Maybe 90's-00's alt rock
This is one of those shows that had so much promise at the end of its first and only season. It spins off from the original movie (the one with Brandon Lee), and goes off in a different direction. Eric Draven starts to seek redemption rather than revenge. Sadly, the show suffered from airing at odd and inconvenient hours. Anyway, an action-oriented overview could be so much fun. If a character study is more your thing, I'd be happy with that too. I'm especially fond of the three main characters Eric Draven, Daryl Albrecht, and Sarah Mohr.
The Cutting Edge [Movie]
Music: Open
Two words: TOE PICK! (I know there was at least one sequel to the original movie. I'd much prefer that any vid focus on the first movie only.)
Square One Television (1987) [TV]
Music: Something pop, or maybe a math-related song such as one from the show itself, e.g. "The Mathematics of Love"
I loved so many of the educational shows on PBS growing up, and this was one of my favorites. From Mathnet to Mathman, there were so many memorable moments on this show that to this day still help me remember tidbits about math. You could do some sort of overview vid for the whole show or narrow it down to one of the segments such as Mathnet. A vid for this show would be the ultimate mathvid.
The Tomorrow People (1992) [TV]
Music: Open, perhaps 90's pop/pop rock
This is the 90's reboot (not the reboot currently airing) of the 70's series of the same name. An overview vid of this sci-fi show of my youth so that others can witness its adorable cheesiness would be fantastic. If the entire series is too much to tackle, my favorite storyline is "The Rameses Connection." (Wee Naomie Harris! Christopher Lee! Rollerblading/car chase!) This series is a bit harder to acquire, but I was able to get it on DVD from Amazon UK.
Wing Chun (1994) [Movie] (Safety)
Music: Something upbeat, maybe an instrumental
Four words: Michelle Yeoh and tofu. All kidding aside, your vid doesn't have to focus solely on that scene, but that's the one I remember most. Mostly, I'd love to see a vid that showcases Michelle Yeoh and all the jaw-dropping martial arts action.
Whatever you end up vidding, I hope you have fun. And again, thank you so much!
