Seeking vids about work

[frayadjacent]

Hi everyone! condnsdmlk and I are running a vidshow at this year's VidUKon and we are looking for recs. The theme is work.

Any vid about work or workplaces, or about striking and workplace organising/action, would be lovely to hear about.

Vids focusing on work that is unwaged -- for example slavery or housework -- are very much welcome.

Self-recs encouraged!

Eeeee this is an awesome show idea! Ok, some thoughts off the top of my head:

-What A Way to Make A Living by Gwenfrankenstein (Black Books) - there are loads of great vids to '9 to 5' but this and the lego stormtroopers one by Eruthros are my faves, and if it's ok with you guys I'd love to show the Stormtroopers ones in my comedy vidshow? OH and there's also a great Merlin one by Chayana.

-This Sullen Welsh Heart by Lila Futuransky (Pride) - a vid about many things, including striking and aaaaaargh feels /o\

-The Fucking Manual by Trutgras (The Thick of It) - how does the country even work we just don't know (spoilers: it doesn't)

-Workin' It by Brokenmnemonic (Magic Mike) - does this need an explanation

-Working for a Living by thingswithwings (Leverage & Hustle)

I'm sure I know more than that so I may be back!

Thanks for this! I'm totally glad you mentioned the stormtroopers vid, because I had indeed been planning to use it (if Eruthros OK'ed it). But since there's another 9-5 vid I'm very happy for you to show it. :)

Are you sure it's ok? I haven't checked with Eruthros yet, so technically have no prior claim :-) but there are loads of great 9-5 vids out there, besides the two I recced already.

The reason I really wanted to use this one is that my show is for funny vids - and like 90% of the ones I've found or been recced so far are all about white dudes. It's really quite stark. So I pegged this version of 9-5 as one of the few that's Not About White Dudes. I mean, it's not about women or people of colour either, but it's a low bar...

Sorry for the delay. Yes it's fine, go for it!
