Snowy Monday, with vids

festivids is live. The snow is once more falling thickly. Life could be worse.

This year I received a vid for a source I was particularly hoping for, the movie Take Shelter: Things That Scare Me by cherryice. Thank you, Cherry!

( The vid, like the film, is deeply unsettling... )

I also received a teeny tiny microvid as part of the incredible effort that ghost_lingering put into making Silent Fandoms. ( Dozens and dozens of minivids + a meta tribute to Festivids itself )

I have conflicting feelings about how the vids I submitted are doing, and the limits of my own capabilities, and aesthetics and trends and stuff. Holding those thoughts for later, if at all. Aside from that, the viewing experience has been good so far. Vid quality is pretty consistent. I've made it through less than a third of the collection 99 vids and am holding recs for now. Meantime, I will leave you with some choice quotes from a Festivids-watching get-together last night at laura47's. Another way to play "guess the vid."

laura47: That's the best way to be bisexual.
scribe: Be Batman?

meretricula: That was actually pretty sweet.
shati: I thought his hand would get sliced off at the end.

meretricula: The one with the kind of blank-stare face is the protagonist.
