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.

Since self-recs are encouraged, I'll point out one of my vids. I vidded My Name is Nobody which is an Italien/French/German co-production. The music is by Ennio Morricone. The vid is here (http://lilly-the-kid.livejournal.com/36215.html). I wrote a bit of meta (http://lilly-the-kid.livejournal.com/36020.html) on it as well.

You know, my first impulse was thinking "Interesting, I haven't vidded anything that's not American." And then it dawned on me, weird :) Also, I'm German, I'm not sure if you know :)

Ah, I see, friending you is already paying off. Thanks so much for the link and the rec, this is a great start! Will you be coming to VidUKon? That would be so awesome!

I didn't realize you're German - I am, too, but I live in the UK so I'm not really in touch with German fandom sites etc. Do you happen to know any other German vidders that are not of my flist? Or any German vidding boards or fandom comms or such?

I'm not sure about vidukon, I'd love to, but I'm not sure I can arrange it... last time I swore to myself to do it...

Mmmh, I'm not so sure about other German vidders, I'm pretty much only here on lj... I know that chaiyana (on lj) is German, though, I know her SGA vids.

There are two German movies I thought about vidding... maybe I can make a premiere vid :)

Wait a second--you're German, too?

May I introduce: Lilly the Kid - Legoline, Legoline - Lilly the Kid

I'm feeling like match making...

I've been told KaheSha is also German.

This is probably a stupid question now, but: is there a German language vidding community/forum?

[legoline.livejournal.com]

Ha, indeed :D

Oooooh, nifty! I know that blithesea is German, also.

Uhm, good question, actually. I have no idea. I don't think so...?

[lilly-the-kid.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, I am :)

[legoline.livejournal.com]

I seriously never would have guessed that :-)

[amnisias.livejournal.com]

Well, she used Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill clips in one of her vids - that kind of gives away that she's European.

[legoline.livejournal.com]

Oh, I must have missed that but yes...that would have been a dead giveaway :)

[lilly-the-kid.livejournal.com]

Funny, you know, people told me that before.
