Themes! I'd love to see some thematic reccing challenges run here. Some ideas I have for themes:
* angst * black & white (encompassing both older film fandoms and newer fandoms in which the vidder's chosen to make the vid monochromatic for visual or narrative effect) * character study * characters of color * critique of the source material * crossover (distinct from a multifandom vid; a crossover would posit that the fandoms in question exist in the same universe, e.g. Laura Shapiro's Hurricane) * dance * ensemble cast * familial relationships * humor * instrumental music * multifandom * non-English lyrics * romantic relationships * taboos * threesomes * women
It might also be fun to have themes based on the genre or medium of the source material, e.g. science fiction, mystery, anime, literary fandoms, etc.
