Hi all! One week in--how are your pechakuchas going?

There have been so many posted already, so awesome!!! Lola and I are both super thrilled that you are all so engaged and inspired :D

For those of you that have already posted, what was the experience like? How did you go through the process of narrowing down your visual source, choosing your clips, choosing your music? Were there any tech issues or other challenges you ran into?

For those of you who haven't yet started where are you at with it? Do you have some things you're still trying to decide on--like your focus, your source, etc? Let us know, maybe we can help you figure it out!

One idea I didn't end up going for by heavily considered with my pechakucha was for the two songs to promote completely opposite readings of the vid – so if song 1 were "there's a hero who's going to save us" then song 2 would be about corruption, or despair, or "we can only rely on ourselves", or something with a contrast to the first song. And then check for the song on YouTube to see if the copyright demons are instadeleting all of it.

That attempt at getting multiple readings of the same clips using different songs is what I think is tripping me up. As for the vid I mentioned, that was years ago, and was a problem with me letting an unedited clip in the vid run for too long, not the song choice.
