Vid Show -- Call for Vids

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Hello dear ones,

This is a call a) to attendees, but also b) to those who can't come but would like to have their names mentioned vicariously (and a tear shed) all the same.

I would like recommendations (and links!) to fanvids for the vid show.

Criteria for 2008:

1) Innovation -- while there's always room for old favourites, I largely *have* most old favourites. Not least the archival disks from g/t's past (thanks erilyn), but also a substantial collection of my own. I'd really like recs that most of us *haven't* seen a hundred times. That doesn't mean it has to be a new fandom, but a new vid in an old fandom would be preferable to a golden oldie.

2) Format -- please if at all possible avi files are best and easiest. Another plus for newer vids is the death of ram, wmv etc. Yay! But mov still makes my laptop sad. Apparently my new laptop not so much.

3) Fandom -- obviously pimp your own fandom, but if there's anything cool from elsewhere send that too. Multi-fandom vids are always good. I'd like more range, with an emphasis on individual quality rather than the complete oeuvre of one artiste.

4) Content -- slash, gen, humour, anything goes. Got porn cut in? So be it. We're all adults. Though I will warn for any delicate flowers. Less is more, and epic eight minute vids tend to lose people.

Please link me in a comment so I can download the files and assemble all in advance. If there's anything that's *not* generally available on the net that you're in a position to upload somewhere for me, that'd be awesome.
