Fandoms and characters I am offering to vid:
Supernatural - any of the recurring women characters, except Lilith
Game of Thrones - any women characters
Star Trek: TOS - any woman characters
The Old Guard - any woman characters, except the evil scientist lady
The Witcher - any woman characters
Our Flag Means Death - I know this fandom doesn't have many women characters, but I be willing to try with the few we do have
Things I like to vid: short, snappy vids
Other preferences (genres/pairings/music/etc): I prefer music that is fast or up tempo, I am good with vids focused on either just one character, or multiple characters.
Things I can't vid: rape, character death
Where you can find samples of my vids: AO3
Other things bidders might want to consider: Music vids only, meaning I won't be including dialogue. My vid will be short, somewhere between 00:30 - 01:00, I can do longer vids, but they take me a really, really long time complete usually, and I find I have more patience with shorter vids. I use a free video editing software, so my choice of effects and transitions is limited.
