Day 6 – When you vid, do you like vidding a certain kind of male or female archetype?

I'm drawn to smart, fucked-up underdogs in vidding, who keep a sense of humor about themselves, are able to scheme and are striving for better. Sci-fi elements are also my weakness, I like a dented and bent mirror to explore themes and metaphors. It makes everything more interesting for me, not only visually.

Female archetype would be what I would describe as Queen: Warrior queen, Ice queen, Queen B - I love female characters that are flawed and have a reign over their emotions and are willing to rule, lead, fight and are finally in recent years allowed to fuck on TV. Strong women with their own agendas. HBICs. So yeah, the what I would describe as Bitch is high on my vidding list.

Xandra tells me that I prefer in males the brooding anti-heroes and I would add Chess Masters, Tricksters and Magnificent Bastards.

It's brooding males and Scully.

But look at my character top-15. there are five other females besides Scully. They count for something, aren't they?

And brooding is optional - I actually prefer them with a big brain and insane funny or funnily insane.

The last 12 months? Drusilla, Lilah, Willow, Jane/Joanie and Darla were all vidded pretty purely. Or not so purely. More like dirty wrong in some cases.

go for that 54 frame clip without any qualms that you might need more. Or better. Or different.

example: Shades of Grey was pure Wes.

Yeah, I had to fight tooth and nails to keep the ladies out. Heh.

Are you on? I could get another draft ready for you.
