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!

Here is the link to last year's round-up post if you want to see previous exercises for inspiration!

Vexercise 6 | 2020

This is my favorite exercise, to be honest so I'm excited to see what everyone makes.

... Not gonna lie here, I feel like I might've painted myself into a corner for this one. Somehow, at least as much as I did last year.

guys, I think I probably like shows that refuse to stay in one genre box.

I was trying to think of an angle into this exercise all weekend. Then, an alternate narrative popped into my head while I was at work today. I'll have to see if I can figure out how to make the program do some of the fancier things I haven't tried yet. Geez, why can't I just mind-mend with my laptop and download the vid from my brain?!? 🤣

Okay, I just had a super fun idea for this in one of my current fandoms, so I'm totally gonna try to do this one. :D

I have had the most terrible idea for this and I should really be ashamed of myself. And yet...

[sholio]

This was too much fun. :D

The Falcon & the Winter Soldier heist/con artist AU, set to a '70s punk cover of "Mony Mony."

A canon divergence 'bad ending' vid for Gravity Falls:

thread the needle through, on AO3. Content warning for possession and physical triggers.

So I am waaaaay behind and wil likely submit late but I had to share this vid that surfaced this week and I am OBSESSED WITH:

CQL RPF and Kingsman fusion

It has sex scenes, voice acting, the works! They even invented a CP name for the characters :D

[seasaltmemories_14]

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

[nu_breed]

Okay so this came to me after hearing bonibaru talking about her Vexercise 6 from last year at VidUKon so you could say I shamelessly stole her idea or you could say "was inspired by" either way, here it is. Also inspired by that amazing CQL RPF constructed narrative vid I mentioned above, obviously this one is not in the same league haha.

Portrait of WangXian on Fire (陈情令 | The Untamed (TV))

Audio is the trailer for Celine Sciamma's Portrait of a Lady on Fire (French, with English subs)

Oh and also went way over the time limit oops. Breaking rules!

Here's a fun example that I found:
