Checking in: Haikus, Pechakuchas, Tech?

[lola]

Hello summer school vexercisers!! How’s it going with the first vexercise? Did you decide to try the haikus, pechakuchas, both? If you did the haikus, how do you feel about the short length and the particular 5/7/5 second structure? If you’re doing the pechakuchas, how did you feel about the two different versions? Which version did you like best of the two you made, and why? And if you’ve done both haikus and pechakuchas, how do they compare?

I’ll admit, I’m kind of dying to hear about the haikus especially, and the difference in experience between haikus and pechakuchas, since we’re the first group taking them from theory to practice pretty much, and I do feel like they have a pretty different flow (both creating them and then the final product) than the pechakuchas.  

Also, let’s have a convo about tech! What editing programs are you using? What computers/devices are you using, for that matter? Does anyone have questions about how to get source etc., or how to do certain steps of the process?

Hope you’re having fun vidding/vexercising!

The rhythms of 5-7-5 were weird. I kinda cheated by cutting the song so I started mid line to balance out the oddity of the rhythm, and also a lot of my 2 second clips used internal motion so they were effectively hitting both one second beats. But there's something to be said for a vidding format where you just quickly knock it out and there's not a lot to fiddle with.
