Dear Festividder

Dear Festividder, before I say anything else let me start with thia: Thank you! That someone else shares my obscure fannish loves is so wonderful.

Song choice I'll leave totally up to you. I've got fairly broad taste in music and love finding new artists and songs, so even if you use something I've never heard of, I'll be happy. Also, if you vid like I do, vidding inspiration is so tied up in song choice that I would hate to muddle you're creative process.

Here's my wish list.

3rd Rock from the Sun
I'd absolutely love a vid focusing on Sally or Tommy or anything, really, highlighting the sheer insanity of the show.

Good Eats
This is my “Please, Santa, bring me a pony” Festivids request. Every year I ask for a Good Eats vid. And every year I do not get one, just like Santa's lifelong failure to bring me my beautiful pony. At this point I’d love any vid at all with Alton Brown and his puppets and his props and his food.

Europa Report
I'm not sure what kind of vid I want for this movie, but I can tell what I liked about it. I am an absolute sucker for stories of space exploration, for examining what it takes to live together in the enclosed space of a ship, for the wonder and terror of the unknown.

Gravity
Ryan Stone’s sheer determination to keep struggling against the seemingly hopeless situation and her drive to survive made me love her and and the movie so much.

Endgame
A vid all about Arkady Balagan, his arrogance and flaws and quirky approach to helping those who come to him would make be very, very happy.

War of the Worlds: Goliath
Any vid at all for this movie would be wonderful, but I particularly like the dieselpunk atmosphere and the way the Eric Wells and his team pull together to kick Martian ass. And Teddy Roosevelt! A kick-ass Teddy Roosevelt vid would be sweet, too.

Queen of Swords
Colonel Luis Montoya makes my heart go pitty-pat. Add a side helping of Dr. Helm and I’d be even more delighted.
