Festivids recs!
Feb. 6th, 2024 09:07 pmFestivids premiered!!! These are my favorites so far:
You Told the Drunks I Knew Karate; Shane &/Ryan, Buzzfeed Unsolved/Watcher
Why do I do the dumbest things for you? This lyric is EVERYTHING. I cannot stop smiling while I watch this vid. There's so much about their dynamic that is perfectly captured, namely how much fun they have together. Also there's plenty of Ryan facing his fears and Shane just being a goofball, which I can always appreciate.
Trust+Fall; Romeo+Juliet (1996)
Parachute by Ingrid Michaelson as a tragedy?? It works so well! The irony of Romeo being Juliet's parachute! The ending gave me chills. There was so much joy contrasted with violence and sheer stubborness in an impressive way; I felt like this was a fresh take on one of my favorite films!
I'm That Queer; Janelle Monae
I don't know that much about Janelle Monae, but this vid seamlessly weaves together their alter-egos/personas and it feels like an immersive music video and a fight against authoritarianism at the same time! I love how high-energy it is.
We Can Be Anything; Evelyn & Joy, Everything Everywhere All At Once
The editing is so sharp and elegant! The changes in tempo are handled so well, and I loved the uplifting ending. This is a wonderful retelling of the film imo.
Didn't Come to Play; Women's 100m Sprinting
I know nothing about this sport, but that didn't matter because this vid mixed in a bunch of headlines and tweets and news captions to tell a whole story about these incredible women! It's just an absolutely delightful and uplifting watch.
