When it came down to brass tacks, it took some effort to convince my brain that by its very nature this pechakucha is not supposed to be 'perfect' and so it not being 'perfect' isn't failing. Ugh, my brain is evil. But letting go of that perfectionism mindset might be the single most effective skill the Vexercises will teach me, so I'm glad I joined the comm and I look forward to doing more :)
As for the vidding process itself: Starsky and Hutch; I used one episode only (The Fix, because I lurves teh waaaangst). I chose "Blinding Lights" because I thought the energy and pace of the song fit Hutch's desperate need to get back to Starsky, without feeling like I had to be matchy-matchy to the lyrics. For the second song, I looked for one that more explicitly honed in on the drug addiction aspect. Voila, "Cold Turkey."
Overall, I enjoyed the exercise! Using two different songs was a very illuminating twist. Now, to start thinking about #2...
