Festivids is nearly here! Now is the time for all good vidders to start looking at their favorite small vidding fandoms and say, "Man, I hope somebody else has seen this thing."

That's where the Pre-Festivids Fandom Rec Festival comes in! Get the word out now and you might get someone else to become obsessive about your favorite thing! Or just find that there are others who love it too, so you can feel encouraged that you won't be the only one requesting/offering it.

How It Works:

Leave a comment in this post (either the Dreamwidth or Livejournal variety) with the name of a fandom you're thinking about offering and/or requesting. If there's multiple possible versions, be sure to be specific (leaving a link to an IMDb or Wikipedia page is useful).

You can also leave a quick description (1-2 sentences) of why the source is awesome and I'll add that to the fandom's entry in Festival master list. If there's a longer description, I may pluck out a short teaser and then link to the rest of the comment.

Example:

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010) -- In this wacky comic book adventure set in the 1910s, intrepid writer Adèle Blanc-Sec faces pterodactyls, mummies, and the patriarchy with equal measures of irritation and determination. Director Luc Besson provides the exhilarating and vivid visuals for this hilarious and weird caper.

So comment away and I'll add your recs to the list behind the cut below.

If you participated in the Pre-Festivids Fandom Rec Festival and you haven't nominated your fandoms yet, get on that! Nominations close at 12 noon Eastern time on September 27th. That's tomorrow! If you're on the West Coast, that's like, really early (I work swing shift, I'm not alive until noon).

Here's a list of fandoms from the festival that have yet to be nominated:

Contact (movie, 1997)
Cracked: After Hours
Heroes of Cosplay
The History Boys (2006)
The Listener (TV)
Suburban Shootout

(Uh, there might also be a few fandoms that I put in the festival and later through better of -- we'll see if my thinking better of them will continue into the next 15 hours).

We're up to 51 fandoms and counting

I just re-arranged the list by media type (movie, television, web/other) and all probable safeties are marked as such so you can easily find that small source fandom to check out before nominations start on September 20th.

Note that the rec festival closes when Festivids nominations open in a little over a week, so hurry, hurry, hurry.

UPDATE FINAL: The rec festival is closed to new entries. Now go nominate some fandoms!

Update, 2013/09/12: The masterlist has been reorganized by media type (movies, television, web/other). Probable safeties are noted with a "*".

Update, 2013/09/04: Festivids nominations open on September 20th, so the recs festival will close on September 20th. Plenty of time to get your recs in!

It has returned! The unofficial Pre-Festivids Fandom Rec Festival is here!

What the heck is the Pre-Festivids Fandom Rec Festival?

I am glad you asked! Let's start with the basics!

festivids is an annual vid exchange for small fandoms. Think Yuletide, but for fanvids! I couldn't possibly get into the full description here, so take it away, community profile page.

Last year,

trelkez /

trelkez had a great idea that maybe we should do some sort of rec festival ahead of time. In the month leading up to Festivids fandom nominations, we list some of the fandoms/sources we're thinking about requesting, so we can all watch them ahead of time and go, "Hell yeah I could make a vid out of that" or "OMG THIS IS THE BEST, someone should make me a vid!" and then offer/request said fandoms.

Sounds great! How do I participate?

Example:

Raumpatrouille / Space Patrol Orion -- This is an amazing black & white space adventure series from West Germany that aired around the same time as Star Trek. It has a semi-serialized storyline, crazy visuals, a lovable cast of characters (including Commander McLane, who is the King of Snark), and it's easy to get into because it only has seven episodes!

So comment away and I'll add your recs to the list behind the cut below.

Current Mood: creative

There's a couple of fandoms that were brought up in the rec festival that have yet to be nominated! Remember, if you don't nominate it, you can't offer or request it! That would be sad for anyone who took the time to watch your fandom as part of the festival.

Submit your nominations here

THING THE FIRST: Today's the last day to submit fandoms to the Pre-Festivids Fandom Rec Festival! There are nearly 70 fandoms listed, so please wander over and take a look at the masterlist, watch a couple, and then request or offer those fandoms!

THING THE SECOND: I have, of late, a sudden yen to chat online with my fellow vidders. While I do frequently lurk in the Festivids chat, I was wondering if there's any of you fine vidders who follow me that are on AIM or GTalk so I may add you and jibber jabber? Comments on this post are screened if you don't want to publicize your info. I am MagneticYapp on AIM and I don't really want to post my GTalk name on a public post, but it is realfirstname.reallastname.realfirstandlastinitials@gmail.com. Which is boring, I know.

We're at 42 sources and still going strong! Head on over and find a previously unknown fandom that strikes your fancy or add one of your own!

The Festival is on Dreamwidth and Livejournal

EDIT: The festival is closed to new entries! Please check over the amazing list in this post, watch some stuff and maybe, just maybe add them to your nominations/requests/offers for Festivids!

EDIT: Wow, this has been amazing! However, it's been so amazing, that I'm going to have to put an end date on it. I'll be taking new additions through 11:59PM Pacific Time on September 13th. Why the 13th? Because nominations for Festivids begin on September 14th over at Festivids.net! Be sure to watch some of the amazing sources recommended in this post and factor them into your offers and requests!

Festivids is approaching! Do you have that fandom that you've always wanted to see a vid from, but you're afraid you're the only person who's ever seen it? Now's the time to get the word out that this awesome thing exists, so others can be drawn into your madness and request or offer that fandom.

My initial post on this is here. Leave a comment there or here with more fandoms for this list. Or make your own post and send me a link!

The masterlist is below. I'm only crediting the person who actually put it up if they had some comment on it. Links are for the IMDb for films and television (except where I can't find a good IMDb page, like for Capital Scandal). Other media will have links dependent on the source itself.

This is all

greensilver's ~~fault~~ ~~idea~~ fault. In the month leading up to Festivids fandom nominations, we should list some of the fandoms/sources we're thinking about requesting, so we can all watch them ahead of time and go, "Hell yeah I could make a vid out of that" or "OMG THIS IS THE BEST, someone should make me a vid!" and then offer/request said fandoms.

Think of it as a festival of new fandoms. I will start off. You can leave your own potential requests in the comments here or make a post in your own journal. If you do post in your own journal, leave a link here. I will probably whip up some sort of masterlist if we have enough participants!

Fandoms/sources I am considering requesting:

After Hours (1985, film) -- Martin Scorsese (yup) directs a madcap everything-that-can-go-wrong-does comedy. It's awesome.
The Black Cat (1934, film) -- Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in a battle of wits fueled by vengeance.
Black Sunday (1960, film) -- Barbara Steele in a gorgeous Mario Bava movie.
Eyes without a Face (1960, film) -- French horror film that is both clinical and balletic at once.
The Howling (1981, film) -- Werewolves. Fuck yeah.
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974, TV) -- X-Files before there were X-Files.
Lisa and the Devil (1973, film) -- Another Bava film. Trippy as all hell (and just as problematic, admittedly). Gorgeous and macabre.
Modern Times (1936, film) -- Charlie Chaplin FTW.

Leave your own lists in the comments or in a post in your own journal (and leave me a link in the comments so I can track it)!
