Two vid-related things.

balsamandashStory shortened: If I started doing weekly vid recs, would anyone have any interest in that at all, or should I just keep to myself?
Slightly longer reasoning: So I start a lot of my weekends with a vidspree. Lots of rewatching and some new. It's a good way to zone my brain into relaxing a little bit and I just really like sitting there and marathon-watching vids. Sometimes I crave bad ones, but mostly I end up rewatching really fantastic ones over and over. It would be nice to feel like I'm doing something when I'm rewatching vids all over again.
I tried to start recs at one point, but failed miserably, mostly because I have the self-discipline of a toddler about some things, but I think having a narrower idea of what I'm doing might help, and 3, maybe 5 tops vid recs a week is pretty narrow. And I desperately want to try vidding regularly one day, when I have a computer that won't cry if I try to, and I think trying to start articulating what I really like about good vids, and what makes them good, it might help me when I can finally start trying to make them myself.
In other vidding notes, you know what I want to exist? A comm where vidders can go and request help finding footage, for when you're doing AU vids or non-canon ship vids or vidding a non-visual medium or whatever. Put in what you want, maybe broken down into necessary details (say maybe, two people kissing, both female, one shorter than the other) and details that would be great but could be worked around (in that example, maybe something like, both blonde, height difference of about a foot, dressed for winter, the more desperate it looks the better). And then people can help you locate footage that might help.
This note brought to you by my brain finally clicking all the pieces in on a Newsflesh vid I've wanted to make for ages, and knowing that if I ever do, I'm gonna need some very specific footage to flesh it out. Something that I'm pretty sure exists, but have no idea what to look for it in.
