Festivids 23-24 Requests!
Dear Festividder:
Thank you so much for making me a vid!! I would love it if you could lay on your creative juices on some of the following:
- Brassic (TV): Just started this show and I love the "thieving screw-ups with hearts of gold" vibe. I really enjoy the comedy and the gang's hijinks, as well as the heartwarming stuff. Whatever you can make about this makeshift family would be lovely!
- Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead + Hot Fuzz + The World's End): These movies are just amazing! I feel like every time I pick a favorite of the trilogy, another takes its place! Of course, I'd love a focus on the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost characters, but honestly, fun ensemble videos showing parallels and whatnot are fun too.
- Dead Like Me (TV): I will never not love this series. I will take anything, whether it's a humorous vid, ensemble vid, or character study (Mason is my favorite --- oh, my Callum Blue crush had no bounds for this then teen --- but I truly love each of the reapers). Honestly, anything will do here because this show was so poignant and wonderful. My only request - no George/Mason shipper vids. I always saw them as siblings and much preferred the dynamic between Daisy/Mason.
- Father Ted: OMG, now I know why this series is considered such a classic! It's so irrelevant and funny! Dougal is adorable, but Ted is also fantastic. Just all around hilarious so highlights of the characters' shenanigans would be fun!!
- Flight of the Conchords (TV 2007): Gosh, I loved this show back in the day! Bret and Jemaine were so adorkable and of course their songs were great. A cutesy vid showcasing those two in their adorkable element would work well here!
- Ghosts (TV 2019): Just a wonderfully endearing and heartwarming show with an amazing set of actors and characters! Would love an ensemble piece that focuses on the silliness, while hitting the family-esque feels of the show!
- The IT Crowd (TV UK): This show is outrageous and often cringey, and I still laugh and love it every time! Maurice Moss is my favorite, but Roy & Moss are excellent bros and the cast as a whole works so well off each other! Much like Father Ted, anything highlighting the characters or their craziness would be great!
- Peep Show (2003 TV): This is a show whose comedy really sunk in as I kept watching. The dialogue (and inner monologue) is incredibly clever and probably my favorite part, but that's probably hard to capture. I like all of the characters, but Jez has this endearing naivety about him, even when he's a complete ass (which is often). Also, despite it being a comedy, I do think it'd interesting (albeit maybe challenging) to highlight some of the sincere moments in a vid.
- Seinfeld: OMG, anything, honestly! I grew up watching this show so any fun hijinks video would be amazing!
- Snatch (2000): Gosh, this movie is a riot! The gritty, dark comedy is so well-done and balanced with genuine moments of tension. Would love to see anything about this - whether it's focusing on the humor, the intriguing characters, or the action-packed boxing!
