Final Vexercise! :0 The Fan Video of Your Heart

[lola]

Hello everyone! It's crazy that we've made it this far, and it's been so wonderful to see everyone's vidding explorations along the way!

This last exercise lifts the 1 minute "restriction," and there's no particular focus, but it does ask you to draw on the tools we've been playing with throughout the vexercises:

Vexercise 8: Free Vid!

Deploy any and all of these techniques to make the fan video edit of your heart, including but not limited to your chosen source, length entirely up to you! Try to deploy some combination of the various techniques you explored in the exercises along the way.

Now I realize two weeks is on the short side for making a full vid, but it is *possible,* though the process will certainly look different than for a vid that say takes six months. But I know that I sometimes find a release in a tight deadline that helps me loosen up on my perfectionism and just go for it, and then send something out into the world, and so I hope that can be the spirit of this final exercise!

Please share any questions here! Ooh, and any thoughts you have on the Vexercises as a whole! We'll make a post later asking for feedback about particular exercises, which ones could be adjusted, which worked best...but would love to hear any initial thoughts you have about the process overall here.

Oh those poor people, but also, my heart. I like how this showcases how dramatic the source is, while also being full of warmth. For a draft, it's also very rounded.

You're very brave for vidding a source you're not that yet very familiar with, but I've enjoyed everything you made. Thank you!

Thanks! The fine tuning I'm still doing is mostly about figuring out how to balance that warmth:drama ratio. It's tricky.
