Vexercise 1 Check In (2021 edition!)

Hi all! Here we are, it's been one week in--how are your pechakuchas going?

So many have been posted already, I'm kind of amazed!! For those of you that have already dived (dove?) in, what was the experience like? How did you go through the process of narrowing down your visual source, choosing your clips, choosing your music? Any tech issues or other challenges you ran into?

For those of you who haven't yet started (um, this includes me) where are you at with it? Do you have some things you're still trying to decide on--like focus, etc? I'm working with a new source and haven't yet decided on which eps I'm going to use, I might just mess around and see what feels interesting!

I downloaded Resolve last night and blew through two sets of pechakuchas this morning. It's been a literal decade since I dabbled with vidding if my Vimeo account informs me correctly, so I was pretty rusty but it was a lot of fun to get back to it again. This was a great exercise for me to start off with actually, both to learn new software and without getting too fiddly and exact about juggling loads of clips. I picked a single favourite episode from an old fandom that I could quickly rip from a video site to also keep it casual, and I think narrowing my focus made the relearning curve more enjoyable (way less clip searching!) for sure.
