Looking for vids and vidders....

[amnisias]

I'm sure you've all already heard the exciting news that the next VídUKon goes down in May 2013!!

I am playing with the idea of putting together a vid show that showcases European vidding. At the last VidUKon there was a UK themed vid show, but this time I'd like to focus on non-british vidders, source and non-english songs. At this point the concept is still pretty vague, so I thought I'd trawl the internets a bit to see what's already out there. 

So, if you know any other French, German, Italian, Swedish, Russian etc vidders out there that are not on my flist, let me know (I'm guessing there are some vidders who prefer to blog/interact in their own language and I want to make sure I throw the net as wide as possible. I'm also looking for recs for any vids using non-english European source or songs (not neccessarily the vidders native language, though I assume that's the most likely scenario...) Self-recs are defenitely encouraged!

If you know of any non-english vidding coms please feel free to repost this entry with a link to this post, that would be very helpful.

*waves* I'm planning a vid for a German film with music by a German band (although with French lyrics, maybe - not sure how that's gonna work together yet). I'll start working on it after the Festivids madness is over. I can get back to you when it's done? :)

Very cool. I am particularly keen on European source, so that is great news.

Hey! Just stopping by to let you know that I still really wanna do this and I've actually set my mind on making it a premiere. Which sounds a bit scary to me right now, but I'm reading through the FAQ and technical requirements, and I think I can make it work. :)

Gret news! It might be a good idea to let me know what the movie is, because I already have quite a few German movies in the show, and won't be showing two vids for the same source. It does not mean you can'd vid the movie, it would just be to make you aware that I'll have to make a choice between the two vids at the end.

Would be cool if you drop me line every two weeks or so to let me know how your getting on with vid - I need to submit the vid show on the 15th of March, premieres need to be uploaded by the 31st of March.

It's "Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken". (Good thing I didn't settle for "Krabat", as I saw below that legoline's gonna do that. :D But both films have Daniel Brühl in common!)

I'll let you know how it's going!

Lol, I can cope with too much Daniel Bruehl. Heck, there is no TOO MUCH.

Don't know the movie, but it looks intriguing - and noboyd else is vidding that yet, so that's great. Man, I'm so out of the loop with German movies, I think I need to go on a amazon shoping trip....

Hahaha, I AGREE! I love him!

It's a very poetic film starring some of this generation's best actors of the country. I think it's probably not for everyone, as the pace can feel a bit slow and the overall mood is rather heavy, but lovers of European cinema will enjoy it – even if it's just because it's really pretty, cinematography and all. I hope I can make it into something that works in vid-form.
