winding up Vex 4 -- side characters!

[lola]

Whoops, I didn't manage to post this yesterday, but the Vexercise 4 deadline was officially last night, though as always late vids are always welcome. How'd this go for folks? For me, I felt like once I dug in, I wanted to spend *all* the time with my character--and also I had trouble choosing between a bunch of wonderful side characters! How about for you?

Vexercise 5 drops! (lyrical play + )

[lola]

Hi folks! We're on to Vexercise 5!  You can of course do the OG version, as follows: 

Produce a 1 minute video edit from your selected source, in which lyrical interpretation ( guides your shot choice. You could interpret the lyrics literally or metaphorically/suggestively. Once you have completed this video, choose selected lyrics to incorporate creatively as text within the video. Then make a version of this video with the text, but substituting the original audio with a different piece of music that has no lyrics.

OR you can do a version with keyframes for moving text and text masking: 

Follow the guidelines for the OG version, but try using key frames for moving text or text masking. (Links for tutorials and examples coming soon)

Here are a couple of short tutorials for Premiere that I've found helpful. If you know of others, for Premiere or for other editing tools, please share in the comments and I'll add them to this post.
