Warning: Vid-oriented, potentially egotistical naval-gazing follows! :D
BSG is ending, and hopefully I'll get a chance to learn how to vid other shows but at the same time, I really like the idea of my backlog of vids standing as some kind of visual archive of my Battlestar experience, and the more of the show I can filter through my perspective via vids, the better. I especially want this because so much of my love affair with vidding is tied up in my love affair with this show, it seems right to mark it this way.
So I'm looking for help. Suggestions on what I haven't vid-babbled about yet. It's not quite a call for prompts, more a call to identify segments of the show (character-wise, thematics-wise, plot-wise) I haven't said anything about yet. Although any thoughts on what you'd do with that kind of vid would be welcome as they might jumpstart my brain. Because these are probably not going to be things I'm all that comfortable and familiar with, or I'd have vidded them already.
So screw it, yes, I suppose I am asking for prompts, just...prompts I probably will not be fulfilling any time soon as I have other vidding projects; prompts I may not ever fulfill, and prompts I will almost certainly twist to my own nefarious purposes? But if you'd be willing to take a second to say, "Hey, you know what you never vidded?" I'd be totally grateful.

Things I already know I haven't done (but would still be open to ideas about):
- Full-length Kara Thrace vid (I know I've vidletted her a bunch of times, but I want at least one full-length vid for each of the seven credited cast members). I've always planned on doing a vid for Kara, but...she's so fascinating in terms of the show's plot and mythology, I need to wait until her story is finished before I can do this, I think. But...this item probably stands alone in that I'm not stuck, just choosing to wait.
- D'anna. I do have some vague idea of a song I could use for her, but...we'll see. (Vid or Vidlet).
- Gaeta. I have...no ideas here. And I don't want to seem like I'm just jumping on the bandwagon of being interested now he's dead. I always liked him well enough, but he never really jumped out at me. (Vidlet?)
- Dualla. Same as Gaeta. I like her and all (actually I like her significantly more than I like Gaeta) but I just...I can't think of a good thing to say about her. So much of her plotlines were tied up in the quadrangle of doom or her very messy death and I just...I don't want it to look like I only made a vid because she died horrifically or something. (Vidlet?)
- Sam Anders, maybe? I've vidded him both for comedy and as part of the final five, but his only play as Sam was in the last third of Scar. I love him there, but maybe he deserves some screentime of his own? (Vidlet? Or a vid about him and something?)
- Ellen Tigh. Given her recent meteoric rise in importance. Although that's probably one best left on the backburner until the end of the series.
- Various 'ships. I'm not fussed about vidding every 'ship because there are too many and honestly, if I can't vid my second favourite (Laura/Maya) due to lack of source, why should I care about the others! :p But I know that there are some fairly significant ones that I haven't touched like Kara/Lee, although to be totally honest, I'm not really sure what I could that's interesting with that one. But hey, I admire crackship vids, so if anyone has any out-there ideas, shoot. Also, I should probably be ashamed to admit, I kinda 'ship Chief/Sam a little, but no vidlet ideas are hitting me right now.
- That whole parents/children/reproduction/cylon/human mess. I've dealt with cylons and religion thing a million and a half times, but the other half of their obsession - babies - is something I've only skirted the edges of and it also ties into all the parent-child issues among the human characters. So like, at some point I want to make a big messy vid about parents and children and humans and cylons and how babies get made. But...I don't know if I ever will.
Halp?
