Festivids 2023 vid notes

I made five vids for Festivids this year! They are:

Moby Dick adaptations: a vulture feeds upon this heart forever (dw | ao3)
Moby Dick adaptations: #teamwhale (dw | ao3)
Moby Dick adaptations: Queequeg and I (dw | ao3)
Moby Dick adaptations: Here It Goes Again (dw | ao3)
Janelle Monáe: I Like That (dw | ao3)

... so yes, bironic was totally right in the Guess the Festividder post, I did indeed make four very multisource Moby Dick vids for Festivids drawing from approximately 100 years of Moby Dick adaptations. These were all for nicosilang!

And then I made one Janelle Monáe vid for livrelibre's great request! (I said to thingswithwings "someone might guess me for this, because I've vidded Janelle Monáe before, but also they might not, because I'm not being completionist about it." Nobody did guess me.)

In the watch party for festivids, somebody said something like "wow, I wonder how long this vidder has wanted to make all these Moby Dick vids." The answer is: since October, during signups for this years' festivids. I didn't read Moby Dick until after assignments went out. I hadn't seen a single one of these Moby Dick adaptations before several months ago.

( So why'd you vid Moby Dick then? )

( Then I read Moby Dick. )

( a vulture feeds upon that heart forever )

( #teamwhale )

( Queequeg and I )

( Here It Goes Again )

I could have made an Ahab/Starbuck vid, because I had incepted myself into the fandom with the help of that section in "a vulture etc" and the Moby Dick webcomic, but I restrained myself to ONLY four Moby Dick vids and jumped into a treat I'd wanted to make!

( I Like That )
