Festivids that I made!

It turns out that my Festivids gifts were both by [personal profile] thingswithwings, which is so delightful because she is one of my BFFs, and I even suggested one of the songs to her unknowingly (5 out of 6 by Dessa).

I linked to those 2 vids at this post: https://sasha-feather.dreamwidth.org/1274468.html

This was my first Festivids and indeed my first fannish exchange ever. I always thought an exchange would be too stressful for me, but this one was fine. I knew people I could ask for help, and there was plenty of time to complete the assignment.

For bironic, I made "I'm an Animal", a celebration of veterinary reality TV shows. I've watched and loved Dr. Pol for years but the other shows were new to me and were a delight. I especially recommend "Critter Fixers." These shows are on Disney Plus, and my local library has Critter Fixers. I used 1-2 episodes of each show; they are all pretty similar in format. "Secrets of the zoo" is slightly different because they are mostly working with wild animals--very interesting. At the last minute I thought I would but in some "Lone Star Vet" but it turns out that her show is a different frame rate than the others, and I ran out of time to learn how to deal with that issue.

The song was a fairly easy choice for me because I love Neko Case's music and have wanted to vid her stuff for a long time. I was delighted to put in a guinea pig for bironic and a horse for me. This vid is very gen / kid safe / you can show it to your non-fannish family.

Then I made a treat for [personal profile] eruthros because I already had source downloaded and rough-clipped for Rūrangi, a trans/queer movie that is on Hulu. I love this movie a lot and had already planned to vid it. I looked for "queer folk songs" and found a list that included this REM song, and they are one of my favorite bands. I thought more deliberately about structure in this one, which I would not say is my forte, so that was a good learning experience.

At my most beautiful:

Looking at these folks' faces in both vids made me fall more in love with them. Jem especially in Rūrangi! He's so cute, awkward, and relatable.
