vexercises | Vex 3 (Belatedly) Drops! (Reply)

Hi all! It's (past) time for Vexercise 3 to get its roll out. So here we go!

The new summer school version of Vex 3 is:

Vexercise 3 Focus on Color/Color Grading: (1 minute video) Let color guide the logic and flow of this vexercise, either by selection or special effects. Highly recommended: download an LUT or more and try using it!

There are soooo many LUT resources out there. Here are a few links you could try:

Comment below with your favorite vids that use color creatively, or any additional resources you know about coloring, or any questions you have!

And as always, you can also do the older versions of Vex 3, Audio Layering Supercut or Rhythmic Editing.

The OG Vexercise 3:

Audio layering supercut Produce a 1 minute video edit of your selected source, in which you edit together similar visuals (this could be a theme like “hands” or “curtains,” or it could be a type of shot or camera work like “all the close ups”). Your audio for this should be a selection of spoken word from your source, or audio that is not music from your source. You can combine these spoken word or non-music sounds with music if you want! The audio and visuals can line up some of the time or none of the time. If your source doesn’t have audio, you can choose audio from another source.

Vex 2.0 Vexercise 3:

Rhythmic Editing Produce a 1 minute video edit where you focus especially on rhythmic editing. Try your hand at time remapping at least once in this video. Choose an audio track that has a clear rhythmic pattern or interesting rhythmic progressions to make your editing experience easier. Reference the wave visualization of your audio track to help guide your editing choices. (If you’re up to it, make 2 versions, 1 that cuts primarily on the beat, another where you try syncopated editing (cutting on the *and*)

Happy vexercising! Can't wait to see what everyone makes!
