Dear Festividder,

Hi there, fellow vidder! Here's my requests for this year. Not to worry, I'm super easy-going when it comes to receiving vids -- you're making a vid for me, after all, so thank you in advance!

* The Expanse (series):


I've loved the visionary, system-spanning scope of this show since I first saw it, and the broad ensemble of characters offers a wide range of possibilities. I'm interested in something to do with the crew as a whole, something to do with Detective Miller, or anything to do with Martian Gunnery Sergeant Bobbie Draper. Bonus points if you somehow manage to relate and/or include scenes from The Martian (2016) (which I note is also on the tags list, and which (IIRC) canonically did happen in the history of the book series).

* Kubo and the Two Strings (film):


I remember being idly curious about this feudal-era samurai-esque fantasy when I first heard of it, and then being absolutely blown away by the amazing stop-motion animation when I actually saw it. Matching it with any guitar-heavy song would be really interesting to see -- any characters or matchups would be fine.

* The Forbidden Kingdom (film):


Enjoyable young-adult-ish crossover martial arts fun starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and a cast of interesting fellow adventurers and villains -- this movie's one of my guilty pleasures. I encourage any setup or pairing for the vid, as long as it doesn't involve the song "Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting", because... well, cliche. Moreover, if you can focus on something other than the boring whitebread Caucasian "protagonist", more power to you!

* Journeyman (2007 series):


This glorious, complex time-travel show from back in 2007 didn't get a long enough run before getting screwed by the newtork, sad to say -- just 10 episodes before the writer's strike that year shut a lot of things down. That said, the performances are top-notch and the plots (while a situation-of-the-week fix-what-once-went-wrong episodic format) interrelate from week to week over the course of the show, and there's definitely a larger plot arc that was planned before the early cancellation. I'd be interested in anything you care to put together -- but bonus points for using songs from the 70's, 80's, or 90's.

* Baby Driver (2017) [SAFETY]:


I loved, loved, LOVED, this recent Edgar Wright film. The whole way it was put together is almost like a fanvid in and of itself! If you decide to vid this, go crazy and do anything you'd like -- I'll be curious to see what the end result is!

* Westworld (series):


This HBO series has been a dark, speculative-future favorite of mine since I saw the pilot episode, and I love both the twisty plotting and enigmatic motivations as much as I do the growth in characterization over the course of the show. I'd like anything to do with either Dolores or Maeve -- and please, nothing to do with Logan in any sizable way.

* The Man in the High Castle (series):


Based on the Philip K Dick novel, this alternative-history show (wherein the Nazis and Imperial Japanese won WW2 and occupied North America) is a twisted, dystopian look at how things might have gone -- and yet the performances and the twisty intrigues fascinate me. With two 10-episode seasons completed, there's a reasonable amount of vid-footage available. I'm most curious to see something about Juliana Crane, but beyond that I encourage you to create whatever strikes your fancy.
