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.

Sounds like it's gonna be a great vidshow!

My Arrivée (http://laurashapiro.dreamwidth.org/312042.html) uses a French source: La Belle Et La Bête (Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast). The music is by a French-Canadian, incidentally.

I've also vidded a K-drama -- are you thinking of just Europe, at this point?

I think all the European vidders I know are known to you as well, but I'll let you know if I come up with any.

Weeeeeell. Having an idea (particularly a vague one like this) is the easy part. I've never done a vid show before, but after attending Greensilver's pannel at VVC I feel at least marginally qualified?

Thanks so much for the rec, that's a real contender. If I'm honest, I'd love to have an all European vid show, if I can find the diversity of vids. The challenge will be to tap into the more local communities, I would love show case vids and vidders that are normally not that visible in the LJ community, either because they prefer different platforms or due to language barriers.

I will definitely ping you if I encounter any other European vids/vidders.
