So I accidentally made a Teen Wolf vidlet yesterday. I was just going to do that one section so that it would leave me alone. *Sigh* Then today I had to remember how to put vids on the internet.

The song choice comes from starbolin's mix for her lovely fic Muerdago.

Hi festividder! I'm so curious what we matched on. Was it Jeremy Renner? Cheerleaders? Zombie babies? I can't wait to find out. I already love you and your potential vid to pieces.

I'm sure I'll like whatever you do, but here's some explanation of where I'm coming from with my requests:

( The Lost Boys, The Unusuals, Dawn of the Dead, Fired Up!, Freaks & Geeks, The People Under the Stairs, So Close, Wolverine & the X-MenCollapse )

Feel free to ignore all that and do what you want. I'm not your boss.

VividCon report! I took no notes this year, so none of this is accurate. I tried not to name names, but it was really hard.

( Con stuffCollapse )
( Vid recs!Collapse )

I can't believe I just typed all that. And now I'm absolutely too tired to go to that faculty mixer, which was the plan all along.

I made it home from VividCon; my suitcase did not. But my con DVD was in my carry-on, and that's the important thing.

I'm so tired that I couldn't remember my address when talking to the United baggage guy, so I'll save all the wonderful VVC things for laaaater.

**Please note that this is a vid for the animated series, not the live-action movie. Wouldn't want to get your hopes up for Renner arms and then disappoint.

You guys. This show. You must watch it. Netflix has the first season online. Go now.

Comments are better than Thor hugs.

Can't sleep. Got pre-flight jitters and "Bohemian Rhapsody" stuck in my head. So I might be hallucinating this: Director Ben Affleck Offered Justice League. Oh, DC people, I am so sorry.

If you see me at VVC later today (whee!), I will either be a zombie or so jacked up on caffeine that I'm vibrating.

BTW, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is totally about Loki.

First: Look at my tiny Avengers. LOOK AT THEM.



The picture came out all blurry. Not sure if camera or pinot grigio. These are from Marvel Grab Bagz. Or Grab Zagz. Fuck, something with a Z. You don't know which toy you're getting until you open the bag, so I'm still trying for a wittle Natasha.

Second: This time next week, I will be at Vividcon!! \o/ I didn't do a premiere this year. Apparently, I can either do a CVV vid or a premiere, but not both, and I did a CVV vid this year. But this will be the first year I'll actually be at Club Vivid when my vid premieres. Aaaand I'll probably be hanging out in the courtyard and miss it. *shrugs*

Third: Where are we watching True Blood???

Fourth: Here are the four vids from last year's VVC that I've watched the most. Like, at least 10 20 50 times.

Dan Harmon leaving Community

This is the darkest timeline.

Ryan Reynolds frontrunner for Highlander remake

So, wait, this is a remake, not a sequel? Can't we just have a Deadpool movie instead?

Just got back from THE MOVIE. OMG it is glorious. From the amount of laughter, I'd say our theater audience (matinee--mostly families) loved it. Yes, Muggles, this is Joss Whedon. Kneel before your new master.

( SpoilersCollapse )

And okay, dammit, I vidded Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (ongoing animated series, which I highly recommend) for CVV, but I want to show you it now. Because stuff.

So I was grading shit at work today, listening to Pandora, and Kings of Leon's "Happy
Alone" came on. The part of my brain that's always auditioning potential vid songs perked up, and I thought, ooh, I wanna vid that.

And then two seconds later, I realized I had already vidded that song. This happens all the time.

And two seconds after that, I though that if we had a vidding meme like fanfic flamingo or podfic platypus, then I could tell it of my sorrow.

So this happened:



And here's the blank if you want it:



Or if anyone would like to improve upon the llama image, that'd be totally super.

I did not, however, make a vidding llama tumblr. I'm not procrastinating that hard.

(Although it seems like alliteration is typically part of the whole thing, I thought I had to go llama with the spirit animal. But I could get behind a vidding vole or velociraptor.)

Festivids reveals are up, whee!

I made Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution (Starship Troopers) for Zhailei/amalthea and I Might Be Wrong (Plata Quemada) for marina.

festivids was even more glorious this year. Hugs to my vidders: boom_queen, mithborien, and laurashapiro! And huge thanks to giandujakiss, lithiumdoll, and patron saint Morgan Freeman!

*blissful sigh* Festivids. You guyyyyyys, seriously. I've been watching vids for, like, four of the last six hours, so I'm bleary right now, but I got THREE vids this year, and I need to show you them.

Little Bad Girl. This is a wonderfully cracky and completely awesome Cry-Baby vid. There's dancing and motorcycle riding and singing and Johnny Depp licking things. I fell completely in love with it in the first ten seconds.

The Devil takes care of his own. Even if you don't wanna watch George Clooney and Juliette Lewis kill vampires, you should watch this through Salma Hayek's dance. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I love the song the vidder used. This vid is my favorite combination of sexy and gory. Whatever that says about me. O.o.

Gone (A Moral Imperative). REAL GENIUS VID. It's adorable and funny, but damn if it isn't also incredibly moving. BLESS THEIR LITTLE FACES. And how perfect is this song?! *screams into fists* Also, LAZLO.

P.S. I haven't really been counting, but looks like some surprise contenders for Festivids patron saint this year are Val Kilmer, Will Smith, Michael Keaton, and Sylvester Stallone? Although Bruce Willis--still going strong. Hmmm.

First sign that I've been reading too much XMFC dom/sub fic:

( cutCollapse )

P.S. Is it Festivids time yet? I'm desperate to see them, but I'm also in that post-vidding fugue state where I have no idea what to do with myself.

So this is probably old news on tumblr, but I haven't been there in ages. And this is the kind of thing I should post to tumblr, but that would require actually going there. *shrugs*

But anyway, here's a bit of Steve/Tony from Magneto: Not a Hero #1.

This is me sticking my fingers in my ears and going La la la about wank at work and scary OTW things I don't understand.

1. I have the weirdest crush on Darryl from The Walking Dead.

2. Finishing vids is hard. I hope to whine about that this weekend at the new vidding forum.

3. This is what happens when Alex Summers uses his hula hoop lasers while wearing street clothes:

( Spoiler: the clothes don't surviveCollapse )

Dear Festividder,

Hi! It's Festivids time again, yay! I loooove getting vids. I'd rather have vids than world peace, which is why I shouldn't be in charge of things. Yep, vids > world peace. But what I'm really saying is that you can't go wrong making me a vid.

And to anyone who has extra vid-making time on her hands, yes, I love treats. *beams*

( Stuff I'm requestingCollapse )

Thanks Festividder! Happy vidding!
