Dear Festividder,

I am [archiveofourown.org profile] SweetPollyOliver. Thank you so much for offering one of my fandoms! I'm really excited to see what you come up with.

In terms of my general vid preferences, I really like both uptempo vids with a strong beat and lots of movement and slower, more contemplative character studies with lots of long clips. And everything in between those extremes! I'm pretty easy to please, so whatever you feel inspired to make will be amazing.

In terms of my specific preferences:

Gattaca
My strong preference for this is not to include any footage of Eugene's suicide at the end of the film. Other than that, I'm open to anything! It would make my entire year to see a Gattaca vid of any kind.

Galaxy Quest
Oh man. There are so many ways you could go about this, all of which I'd love. You could frame it as a love letter to fandom (or SF, or Star Trek), you could make a shippy vid (I am partial to Gwen/Jason/Alexander, Jason/Alexander, Gwen/Jason and Fred/Laliari), you could make something funny highlighting the many shortcomings of our intrepid crew, you could break my heart and do something sad centred around the Thermians. I'd be so thrilled to see anything for this movie.

Singin' in the Rain
I think some kind of a vid centred around dance (or ~showbusiness) could be really fun! If you made it polyam I would love you forever and ever.

Buzzfeed Unsolved
I'm very open to you pulling footage from other sources (e.g. other Buzzfeed videos with Shane and Ryan, Watcher content, etc.) if you want to. I prefer Supernatural to True Crime (also I think it's more visually interesting footage a lot of the time from a vidding point of view) and something spoopy might be fun, but equally something funny would be very much in the spirit (heh) of the show. I would also love something about Ryan and Shane's friendship, because they are my brotp.

Much Ado About Nothing (1993)
I'll be completely honest, I don't have many ideas for this one, but I saw it in the tagset and went completely feral. I love this play and, specifically, I love this adaptation so goddamn much. I successfully campaigned for my sister to be named Beatrice because I loved this adaptation so much when I was ten. Something snarky/funny for Beatrice/Benedict would be amazing. My main request here, I guess, is to keep it fairly light. I know that there is some Dark Stuff with the Hero/Claudio plotline, but what I really love about this play is the silliness and hijinks. I would not be at all averse to you pulling footage from other adaptations (e.g. the Nothing Much To Do webseries or the David Tennant and Catherine Tate stage version, although not the Joss Whedon version which I have Opinions about) if you wanted to!

Some Like It Hot
Again, something silly would be so welcome for this source. I would request though to try not to frame the dressing-as-women part of the plot as being funny in and of itself.

The Road to El Dorado
Another source where wacky hijinks abound! Again, if you could find some way to make this polyam, I would gladly swear a life debt to you.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Baby!Art would be so happy if you made a Power Rangers vid! And by baby!Art, I mean of course 33 year old Art, because I still love Power Rangers to distraction. I would really, really love some kind of a Bulk and Skull (or Bulk/Skull!) vid, or something feauturing the villains (maybe a Rita/Zedd vid!). I do also love Our Heroes and would be very happy to see something with them.

Dear Festividder,

Thanks so much for creating a vid for me! I'm SweetPollyOliver on AO3. This is my first year participating in Festivids and I’m very excited. As a quick disclaimer, I am signing up at the last minute and have not been able to find a lot of Dear Festividder letters to model mine on, so I don’t know how useful what I have written is. I hope it is some use!

In terms of accessibility, I don’t have any particular requirements. Generally speaking I like a lot of uptempo vids with a strong beat (although reviewing my requests, I don’t know how many of them would lend themselves to that kind of vid), but I have also enjoyed a lot of slower paced ones with a more contemplative vibe so don’t feel married to doing the former.

Gattaca
My main request here would be to not include scenes of Eugene’s suicide at the end of the film. Beyond that, I’d be very happy with anything for this little fandom! I’ve loved the movie for years and, as a disabled person, find it very resonant with contemporary ableism.

Buzzfeed Unsolved
This might be a tough one to make look dynamic, since there is a lot of sitting behind a desk, but (if this is permissible - I am a n00b and do not know such things) maybe borrowing footage from the Test Friends series or other Buzzfeed videos with Shane and Ryan would help things along? I mention this purely in the spirit of wanting to be helpful; if it’s not helpful, feel free to ignore.

Galavant
I feel like a musical theatre song would be a lovely choice here. Something comedic, for preference, but again, do be guided by your own judgement.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1981)
Oh the cheesy sci fi comedy of my heart! This is very near and dear to me and there is little you could do that I wouldn’t adore. Again, I think something comedic in tone would fit well with the source material. If you wanted to make it a bit shippy with regards Ford/Arthur that would be a delightful bonus.

GLOW
Something showcasing the ensemble cast would be lovely, but equally something about the relationship between Ruth and Debbie would also be amazing.

Star Trek: Discovery
I’m torn here, because, again, team/ensemble stuff would be fantastic but also a character study vid focusing on Michael Burnham would be great too! I’m not picky though, anything would be very much appreciated.
