I really love either rhythmic editing that hits what feels like every beat or lyrical editing that captures the source material really well, so for this exercise I just kinda had to let go of those perceptions, I actually ended up specifically picking music sources I wasn't too attached to so I wouldn't feel like I was "missing" out on making this perfect vid I could fantasize about in my head

With that in mind I also looked for songs with a more or less consistent tempo so that I could somewhat follow the changes in the music, for "The Pain of Coming Home," there were still a lot of very prominent music cues I wanted to catch, so I kinda focused on those and then built around it

Ironically I ended up really preferring "Generational Mistakes" usually I struggle with editing repetitive songs, but "Anthems For a Seventeen Year-Old Girl," has this six second refrain that is actually perfect for pechakuchas, almost feels like cheating to use it, still I found some really amazing examples of sync purely on accident

Overall I think this exercise helped me loosen up some, I can get caught up in trying to find the perfect clip, from hours of footage, have restrictions really can encourage creativity in ways too many choices sometimes hinder
