Feb. 12th, 2024 10:53 pmFor Festivids this year I spent weeks trying to find the perfect song that combined 'thirties vibes,' 'murder vibes,' and 'lesbian vibes,' and then threw up my hands and vidded Couple of Mirrors (the romance novelist/lesbian assassin cdrama) to "Anything Goes":
I think of this as sort of the 'once as farce' flip side of the Chicago Typewriter vid I made a few years ago: once again we've got snipers and swing dancing and newsboy hats and homoeroticism and will the rising violent chaos have any lasting impact on the central romance? It absolutely will not, let's finish up this gunfight in the middle of the street and go right back to cute lesbian domesticity and arguments over what kind of soap to buy at the store!
Anyway I had a great time making it, many thanks to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shati for the beta and genarti for kindly agreeing to rewatch the entire series with me as prep, a great time in and of itself.
I did not have time to make a Festivids rec post this year before reveals for anything but my own gifts, but it's really an incredible collection this year -- the several fantastic Moby Dick vids and the several fantastic Shakespeare vids alone would be enough by themselves to make this feel like a banner year to me tbh even without the various other delights I've come across -- and I recommend taking the time to roll around in it!
