findmeinthealpsDear Festividder,
As I say every year, please feel free to take my ramblings below as mere suggestions, and make whatever vid you feel excited about making first and foremost.
Rocky (Movie Series)
So, I watched all the Rocky movies this year, including the two Creeds, and I loved them (for the most part). Most of all though, I fell in love with Apollo Creed. His over-the-top showmanship, the chip on his shoulder, his hubris - he just hits a certain character archetype that I always fall for to a T. And the rivals-to-lovers arc he's got going on with Rocky over the course of the movies is just so sweet. (Still can't believe he gave Rocky his boxing shorts.) So basically, what I would love most of all would be an Apollo vid, or an Apollo/Rocky vid. For obvious reasons I would prefer you don't show or reference Apollo's death, unless it's really important for your vid idea to work, in which case I'd prefer you at least not show it in too much detail.
Blade (Movie Series)
I'm just gonna copy and paste what I wrote last year:
Obviously I'm hype for Mahershala Ali as Blade, but before that happens I would like to revel in the Blood & Gore & late-90s-early-2000s-goodness of the original Wesley Snipes trilogy once more. What I love about these movies, especially the first one, is how non-self-serious and corny they are. A vid that showcases the bonkers gory effects, amazing fight choreography and Blade's great reaction faces would be lovely.
I'm also going to add that I haven't seen the third movie, and likely won't before reveals, but don't let that stop you from using it if you wish.
Mythic Quest
Poppy Li, light of my life. I love her in all her messy, unapologetic cringefail glory, and I would be so happy to see a vid that's just about her. I also love her relationship with Ian, though I wouldn't say I ship them in a romantic sense, so a purely (romantically) shippy vid wouldn't really be my thing. But that doesn't mean it has to be strictly platonic, if you want to go for it - I do really appreciate the very undefined messiness of their whole deal, and love to see it explored. I know that's kinda vague, but I hope you catch my drift.
Search Party
This show went so bananas in its final season, I loved it. Would honestly love any vid about this, I love all the main characters (though Elliott and Dory are my favs), I love how terrible everyone is and how much it leans into the insanity.
Paprika (2006)
Also copy & pasted from last year:
This movie has sooo much fun with its creative visuals and I would just love to see someone play around with that in vid form.
The Righteous Gemstones
It's Bible Belt Succession! I marathoned through this show in January and immediately tried to come up with a vid idea that would take these incredibly silly characters and treat them with the gravitas of a typical Succession vid - something about the ugliness behind the veneer of the Gemstone family, idk - but then I got sidetracked by my karate dads show, so I never got around to it. Maybe you can help me out? :D?
Benedetta (2021)
Verhoeven doing nunsploitation? Sign me up! In all seriousness, though, I enjoyed this movie immensely and think that the visuals alone are begging to be used in a vid. I am certain I will enjoy anything you might come up with for this.
Thank you so much for making a vid for me and have fun vidding!
