Vexercise 7 Drops! Multivids FTW

[lola]

 Hi everyone!

 

Wow, here it is in June and we're on to the 7th vexercise, Advanced Round: Multivids!

 

And we're on to Vexercise 7!!! After this one, there's only one more, the free vid, when you get to vid (to) your hearts desire! 

 

For this vexercise, the guidelines are as follows:

 

7) Advanced round // multivid:

 

In a one minute video, put your media source choice in conversation with other media using match on action, graphic matching, audio layering, and lyrical play.

 

If this is your second time doing this challenge, then the 2.0 version is:  same prompt, but try using more sources than you did the first time for your multivid!

 

Here is the round up post from the multivids folks made in the last round of vexercises: https://vexercises.dreamwidth.org/10255.html

 

Also, I always want to shout out one of my favorite multivids of all time, the classic vid, Data's Dream. Please rec your favorite multivids in the comments!

 

This vexercise will be "Due" on Saturday June 25th, with a check in midway. In the meantime ask any and all questions that you have in this post!

I've posted "It Never Seemed So Strange" (Gravity Falls, Ghost Hunt, and xxxHoLic) on AO3. Tagged for horror and blood.

I haven't watched all of Gravity Falls, but xxxHoLic is perhaps my favorite series of all time, and my daughter has been after me to vid it for ages (and I'm gonna give in soon I think :D) I loved how you drew out the parallels here... is Gravity Falls really that creepy? :D You had these amazing parallels and match on actions that made me feel yes, at least in parts, perhaps it is. This was super super cool.

Gravity Falls definitely can get creepy, but the visuals are creepier without the context, I think. There's a lot of humor in the show that alleviates the horror. Thank you so much; there was a lot that I remembered simply from having watched xxxHoLic recently (the hand sequence in particular) that made it easier than I thought it would be, but collecting every image was still work. I'm happy it paid off!

I'll definitely be watching for that vid. xxxHoLic is such a lovely show.
