Vexercise 6 Drops: Genre mashing/Alternative Universe/Constructed Narrative vexercise!

[lola]

 
(So I just am a day late on everything this week... whoops sorry about that)

We're on to Vexercise 6:

The OG Version:

Genre-Mashing/Alternative Universe: Produce a 1 minute video edit that combines your selected source with another source from a different genre (i.e. fantasy, western, sitcom, film noir), and/or use editing to transform the genre of your source text. Audio can be of your choosing.

And the Vexercise 2.0 version:

 

Alternative Narrative: 1 minute vid where you create an alternative/constructed narrative. (I know this is a possibility with the OG version, but it’s hard, and no one really went for it last time--we all leaned much more to the genre mixing side of things!) 
 

Both versions of this vexercise is inspired by the many amazing genre shifting AU/constructed narrative vids coming out of Chinese vidding these days, but there are many histories to these types of genre mash ups. Share your favorites (or share thoughts/ask questions) in the comments!

It seems like I always struggle to make my first idea work, but then just as I relax and wing it, and stuff begins to come together for me lmao

Anyway more Fruits Basket (Spoilers up to S3 episode 2), think of it as a No Tohru!AU where Shigure decides to be his worst self even more in regards to Akito

Self-Immolation

Me: Wow, I like this ship.
Also me: Context, what is context?

I'm a sucker for relationships like this and even though I know nothing about it, it works for me!

Ah that's high praise, thank you, I always have the most fun editing characters who have really tense love/hate relationships, lots of room for drama and intrigue

YES MORE DESSA VIDS YAY

I do not know the source at all but I was really drawn in and wanted to know more about these two! Great editing too :)

Love to see another Dessa fan! I've wanted to edit to her for ages, but matching a flow takes a specific level of skill, and it helps having the right combo, as for this source without giving too many spoilers, their relationship asks the question "what if a soulmate bond was used for evil," and about a sort of push and pull that works really great with "Matches to Paper Dolls" and for the edit itself I went with this idea of what if they skipped all the questions and just gave into the pull.

Thanks again for the comment!

Love it! And yes I am a massive Dessa fan. I just vjed a Dessa-centric vidshow at VidUKon on the weekend and I've personally made two Untamed vids to Dessa (so far lol).
