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.

Oh, and just remembered Valika who made the Rise of the Planet of the Apes vid I got for Festivids last year is Russian (or I came to that conclusion somehow) but I'm not sure she has an LJ/DW account.

Splendid, I had heard the name before but don't know her. I found her on LJ as valika56. She's Hungarian and even has a couple of vids to Hungarian songs. Total win, thanks!

Oh, I've just read the news about your VidUCon project and wanted to tell you, that I've made 3 Stargate vids for Hungarian songs a couple of years ago.;)

Additionally, I recommend you my German friend, kahesha (http://kahesha-vids.dreamwidth.org)'s videos. They are great and she made some of them for German songs.:)

Good luck, your idea to show different European vidders/vids are awesome!

Edit: I've almost forgot to recommend the most wonderful video I've ever seen, it's The Tree (http://newkidfan.livejournal.com/163585.html) by newkidfan. She's French and it was made for a French song.:)

Yes, you're too late to rec yourself, but thanks for the other two, I will check them out. Same question I ask everybody, would you be able/willing to provide translations for subtitles if needed?

[valika56.livejournal.com]

There are versions of these vids with English subtitles already, you can download them from my website.:)

The above mentioned vids are: Awekening (SG-1), James Bond (SGA) and Since Ancient Time (also SGA).

Found the ones with subtitles! Thanks. I love Awakening - I just wish it was longer, vidlets are not great for con settings....

YOu're welcome. I see your point. Awakening was made for a challenge, where the task was to make an exactly 38 second long Stargate video. Believe me, it was SO HARD to make this as short. :D

I made one more video - The Ballad of the Last Unicorn - for a non-English song, it's not a Hungarian one, it's a beautiful Gaelic song and I don't understand the lyrics at all.:P

Believe me, it was SO HARD to make this as short. :D

Well, I guess this would be your chance to remake the vid full length! Can I tempt you? :)
