Date: 2022-07-11 05:40 am (UTC)Fandoms and characters I am offering to vid:
TV fandoms:
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- The Good Place
- Hannibal
- Leverage (including Redemption)
- Mad Men
- Person of Interest
- Revolutionary Girl Utena
- Steven Universe
- Sense8
- Ted Lasso
- Yellowjackets
Movie fandoms:
- Studio Ghibli
- Disney
- I have a ton of queer movies, female coming of age movies, and horror movies (Stephen King adaptations, Scream, Nightmare on Elm St, and others) on my hard drive from past multifandom vids
- If you want to know if I’ve seen and liked a movie, I have everything logged on Letterboxd (https://letterboxd.com/tafadhali/films/) and I’m generally up for anything!
Things I like to vid: Character studies, ensembles, romance, humor, horror, meta vids about tropes
Other preferences (genres/pairings/music/etc): I like a range of music, but tend to prefer vidding to something up-tempo with a good beat and I’m very lyrically driven. I have a Spotify playlist of songs that I’ve thought might make for a good vid if you’re looking for any ideas (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3m9Xd2x2Id0cq1lCHXjOCY?si=783107fefe804c0d&pt=d6a0eb76a83af78a350e33954d8b5d0e). I’ve also made a lot of vids to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend songs and would love to make more. In general, I’d appreciate a few suggestions for possible songs and that songs be under 4 minutes or editable.
Things I can't vid: I’m okay with vidding most content. I don’t usually make vids that incorporate source audio and might struggle with making a highly visual effects-heavy vid.
Where you can find samples of my vids: AO3 or YouTube
Other things bidders might want to consider: I co-vid frequently with my sibling Periru3 and would be happy to discuss making something with them if that was of interest! Also, I really love to make multifandom vids — they require a lot of work, so I can't promise to take one on but I'd be open to it.
