I did a write up of the show I VJed at VidUKon this year over on DW, and I wanted to share the playlist here as well! The theme was Costume Party, and I was interested in taking that in every direction I could — not just vids that celebrated pretty clothes, but vids that really played with identity. What does it mean to put on a costume? What do we learn or reveal about ourselves as we play with outward expression? But, also, I did want this vidshow to feel a bit like a party, fun and energetic.

Here was my final playlist:

ad astra per a cappella | Lower Decks loves Star Trek.

This is my first ever Vidukon premiere! I got the idea from @hartknyx's Festivids letter a few years ago, but it took a while to find a way to vid it. The title is from @twwings, who made a series of great jokes while I was despairing of titles close to the deadline. (She also betaed the vid and made it much better!)

Lower Decks ties itself into the Star Trek universe in so many ways; I couldn't fit everything in but I am pretty pleased with the result.

And I contain multitudes." - Stephen King, The Life of Chuck "Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it, and welcome every moment." - Ted Chiang, The Story of Your Life "Every human is a little sad all the time, because you know you're going to die. But that knowledge is what gives life meaning." - Megan Amram, The Good Place
