Look at you, Festividder. In the last week or two, you said to yourself, "Hey, I want to make something awesome for somebody (possibly a total stranger) who shares my interests!" Alternately, you said, "Hey, I want to try to challenge myself to make a vid to spec, thus broadening my horizons and/or forcing me to vid when I might not otherwise."
In both of the above scenarios, I salute you. You just plain rock and I'm so delighted that you're making something for me! Since you've probably matched on something that you're interested in vidding, you're probably also making something that you'll enjoy, which will make it all the better.
My general tastes run to dorky fun vids, bouncy dance-able vids, and contemplations of genre. Seriously, I'm obsessed with genre, its tropes, boundaries, and the way we use genre as a shorthand, sometimes to tell very unexpected stories. My requests mostly focus on the first two types of vids, but if you could sneak in type 3 (contemplations of genre), I would be in awe of you.
I didn't make a lot of specific music requests, because picking music is probably the hardest part of vidding for me. That said, my musical tastes are all over the place -- punk, New Wave, 80s rap (Public Enemy, Run-DMC, etc), rock, folk, folk-rock, post-apocalyptic folk-punk (Stuart Davis fans, where are you?), showtunes, comedy (Tom Lehrer, Jonathan Coulton), geek rock, metal (not black metal), 90s pop, 60s pop, bluegrass (not country), mashups, ska.
That said, I discover most new music and artists through vids, so feel free to open my eyes to something!
Now, onto my requests! I have a good mix of the old and the new. All of the additional details are so completely optional -- if you make a vid in any of these fandoms, you will make me a very happy monkey-with-a-jetpack.
( This is behind a cut, because I can get verbose! )
There we go. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
