Lyrical Play Check In

[lola]

Hi folks--Sorry for the last-moment-of-the-weekend check in.... (that 2nd dose of vaccine was a doozy and I was a little out of it this weekend!) BUT how are the lyrical play vexercises going? This is a funny one, because a) using text is not a thing that some folks do much at all in certain vidding corners and b) the second version, where the text doesn't go with lyrics, can feel especially out-of-the-norm from a vidding perspective. But it can also produce some really cool results!! Can't wait to see what folks come up with this round :)

I decided to give this a go three days ago, and have managed to complete the vid in all versions! \o/ I kind of prefer the no-lyrics version myself, but I wanted to practice keyframe/masking and so did a full lyrics vid as well. Guardian: Remembering How To Love on AO3.

I actually used keyframes for the vid I did last year - I didn't realize there was any other way to work with text! But I definitely didn't do any masking then, so it was super useful to learn how to do that now.

Oh man you really knocked this one out of the park, your text is so smooth and professional looking, amazing job!!

Thank you! It took me a couple of days of watching tutorials and fiddling about without any idea of what I was doing, and then literally all of yesterday to get it looking nice. I still feel very wobbly about the aesthetic part of it - like, I don't have a sense for what works and what doesn't? But I so enjoyed learning new stuff and applying it! The vexercises are really awesome for that.
