NaViMaMo! (National Vidlet Making Month)

[beccatoria]

I'm bored and out of vid ideas that I can actually work on right now (due to waiting for footage, collaboration or inspiration).

Thus I declare NaViMaMo! National (well, you know, for the great state of beccatoria) Vidlet (I'm aiming for about a minute, but it may be half or twice that) Making Month.

Yes, I have started five days late. This is because I only just thought of it. Here are the rules:

Below you will find a list of fandoms I can vid. Comment with a song choice. I will make you a vidlet. If you comment with more than one suggestion, I'll probably just pick one. Unless I'm really bored.

Also, feel free to comment even if we don't really know each other or what have you. PARTY TIEM.

Fandoms I've Vidded Before:

Fringe

The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Battlestar Galactica (okay I'm gonna be lame here; please take pity on my poor soul and don't ask me to vid anything Adama/Roslin related, or anything about how awesome the finale was: beyond those parameters, we're probably good).

Doctor Who (like, season five Eleventh Doctor stuff - I don't have very much of the rest.)

Doctor Song (whut, it's totally a fandom by itself!)

Star Wars (any of it, trust me, if it ever aired on any kind of screen, I'll have it someplace.)

Farscape

Neverwhere

Fandoms I've Never Vidded Before But Would Totally Give A Go:

Jekyll, Leverage, The Middleman, Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, Watchmen, Pirates of the Caribbean, Hogfather, Hancock, Star Trek 2009, Speed Racer, Those Recent Batman Movies, That Recent Superman Movie, Laputa - Castle in the Sky.

YAY! PROMPTS!

ETA: I'll actually post the vidlets in a new post and stuff. Not sure yet whether I'll post 'em all at once or in bits and pieces as I do 'em. We'll see how the fancy takes me! :)

THANK YOU GUYS, IT'S BEEN AMAZING, IT'S NOW DECEMBER AND THE PROMPTS ARE CLOSED.

Ahhh! I have been on a BSG re-watch and I've been dying, simply dying for a Helo vid of sorts and I've spent the last two weeks looking for a song, so if I prompt you with Helo + noble awesomeness, man of intregrity, would that spur any ideas for you? I keep thinking of some kind of traditional Greek music or some hip hop stuff that has some Greek influence.

[rjsteamboat76.livejournal.com]

hmmmm BSG scar, the raider. "war machine" -kiss. =)

[hollywoodgrrl.livejournal.com]

FRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNGE! That's as far as I got.

[tellitslant]

YES MORE RIVER VIDS.

Hm, all my current River songs are deliberately chosen to be slightly obscure Canadiana, though, so I will have to think about what I would choose that you might actually know! :P (either that or finally post that fanmix...)

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Gladly, but at least gimme a character or something! ;)

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

If you can find it on YouTube, I'll be able to, um, get it from there. I HAVE WAYS. ;)

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no worries with trying to do one for Helo. Little stuck on the music though mainly because I can't think where I'd manage to find greek-influenced hip hop, so if you can think of anything, I'd appreciate it, otherwise, I'll, err, try to find something I think will work? :)

ETA: At the moment I'm kind of headed towards a nonverbal classical piece; like a Romantic era piano piece or something? Let me know if that's utterly the wrong direction, otherwise, I'll probably be proceeding in that direction.

[hollywoodgrrl.livejournal.com]

Oh I know, this might be exciting and new to vid...ALTLIVIA!

[tellitslant]

Ha, okay! Here are a couple of the ones that have been on my mind; let me know if any of them ping you. :) I also obviously have copies of them, if that would be easier!

Gosh, I suck at finding songs. Hmmm.

Gosh, I think you've vidded all the BSG vids I think I'd want you to make. I'm sitting here thinking and coming up with nothing.

So! Luke and Leia! Anyway you want. But strangely not rap. :-)

I will try to think of a song but I'm not a music person.

Oh, I have an idea! Remember that song edit you for me for Gaeta's Lament? Maybe a Gaeta-remembering-Dee-vid to that song! (I liked the aired version better, not so drummy but it's your choice for which version you like. I trust you to make drums work. :-)) It would be a sad vid. But it would be kinda cool and I'm never gonna do it.

Yay! Two ideas. Go!

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Excellent - shouldn't have any problems with this one. :)

[kuwdora.livejournal.com]

oooo that sounds interesting! I have found... some interesting tracks but I'm not entirely sure about them and whether or not they'd work, you know? Because your ear is different than mine and I'm still not entirely sure of what would fit for a Helo vidlet like this. How about I fling some tracks at you via PM over the course of the rest of this Friday and you can pick what sounds most interesting or you can go with absolutely whatever because classical piano is lovely. Does that sound ok?

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan! :D

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thanks! :) I think I might go for the Star Wars one actually because it's interesting and new... Plus I love Luke and Leia!

[chaila.livejournal.com]

EEE! *runs around in a circle*

I want to give you awesome songs! Why does my brain desert me in such moments??? I know there must be dozens of songs I should be thinking of...

As for possible options, I have wanted either Stork and Owl by TV on the Radio or My Boy Builds Coffins by Florence and the Machine (I know you have this! I'm sorry if it's super cliched!) to be a TSCC vid for awhile. Sarah and John, obvs, but possibly also with Weaver and John Henry mirrored, or not, or whoever!

Or if this pings you more, I sort of think the already-very-short Happy (Reprise) by Jenny Lewis could be a haunting vidlet for either Sarah or Olivia. And it's not like I'd whine if you combined them. :DDDD

I WISH I HAD RIVER SONG SONGS.

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Ooh, they're all lovely. The second one feels...really expansive, like I think I'd feel I didn't have enough of their tale to tell it right. The third one is gorgeous and I may have to choose it for the tone of the music itself. But at the moment, I think I'm actually most drawn to the first one - it has a straightforward and touching simplicity, plus there are several sections I think I could use and some great lyrics.

[emmiere.livejournal.com]

OH! ANY OF THESE, YES.

Um, for an actual prompt I would die of glee for a Sophie vidlet and I'll hunt around for an appropriate song. And, I don't know, was the first thing that crossed my mind and now I want it like woah (without even having an icon!). And I do have some source for that show too, if you need it.

*reads list again* A Hancock vid be lovely too, and I'll look for a song there too when I get back from the store. I just wanted to get in and register my complete love for this project! :D

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

Yay! I kept gravitating to that one too. Just I can't think of a song, but I'm sure whatever you pick will be great!

Yay, vids!

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

ooooooh. *__*

I think a Rory(/Amy) vid to "Harbor" by Vienna Teng would work well.

OH "Star Witness" by Neko Case for Amy/River?

Whichever you prefer!

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

this is so so exciting because i have no vidding skills at all, but for the longest time have wanted an olivia character study to aimee man's song "it's not" (let me know if i should send it to you). umm, i hope you like the song.

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm happy with either - I'll wait on your song suggestions! :)

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

THERE MIGHT BE A CREEPY MINI OLIVIA/SARAH VID IN THE OFFING. UNLESS I CHANGE MY MIND.

[tellitslant]

I'm glad you like them! There are a couple others I have that are going to be the perfect songs to vid... in like two years, when we have more footage, heh. (Maybe I will have taught myself how to vid by then! Or maybe pigs will fly.)

Whichever one you pick, though, I will be interested to see what sections jump out at you, and if they're the one/s that drew me to the song in the irst place! :)

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Well if you ever want help learning to vid, I'm happy to try and assist. I can't overstate how fun it is!

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I like the idea of Rory(/Amy) to Harbour - I think I'll go with that one!
