Vexercise 3 Drops! Audio Layering &/or Rhythmic Editing

[lola]

Hi folks! It's time to kick off Vexercise 3! The two versions of the vexercise this time are fairly different, although you certainly could combine the two and do rhythmic editing with audio play. (The Hannibal Glitter & Gold linked below is a great example of that).

Questions? Additional examples & inspiration? Drop a comment below, and of course when you have a vexercise to share, share them here. Happy vidding! 

2.0 Vex 3 Option: Rhythmic Editing

Produce a 1 minute video edit where you focus especially on rhythmic editing. Try your hand at time remapping at least once in this video. Choose an audio track that has a clear rhythmic pattern or interesting rhythmic progressions to make your editing experience easier. Reference the wave visualization of your audio track to help guide your editing choices. (If you’re up to it, make 2 versions, 1 that cuts primarily on the beat, another where you try syncopated editing (cutting on the *and*)

OG Vex 3 Option: Audio layering supercut

Produce a 1 minute video edit of your selected source, in which you edit together similar visuals (this could be a theme like “hands” or “curtains,” or it could be a type of shot or camera work like “all the close ups”). Your audio for this should be a selection of spoken word from your source, or audio that is not music from your source. You can combine these spoken word or non-music sounds with music if you want! The audio and visuals can line up some of the time or none of the time. If your source doesn’t have audio, you can choose audio from another source.

I may have peeked at this exercise before it was released and tried something with a new source! Not sure how rhythmic the editing is, but it was really fun to make!

I haven't seen the movies but this was really, really a fun video, and definitely very rhythmic!
