Vexercise 1 Check-in!

[nu_breed]

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!

I don't think I consciously realized how long six seconds is until I started on this vexercise. I haven't made much useful process on the vexercise yet, but I have make a vidlet as a result of procrastinating on it. I'm going to see if using a different source helps.

Yes it is long! My advice would be lots of internal cuts/movement if possible? You’re doing SHL right? Fight scenes are probably a safe choice here I think? Feel free to hmu on Discord if you want to talk it out <3

tbh part of the problem is I decided to try to make a femslashy vid for two side characters in Kei×Yaku that have a few scenes together. SHL would probably work way better for this

[nu_breed]

You can always use SHL for Pechakuchas and switch for the next challenge if that works for you :)

[aurumcalendula]

Switching sources helped!

[nu_breed]

Yayyyyy I’m so glad!!!

[lola]

Ohhh I am watching Kei x Yaku and want to vid it too!!!

[aurumcalendula]

Awesome!

I set out with the assumption that 6 seconds was really long and got it totally wrong in the other direction... kept thinking clips that were 10+ seconds long wouldn't be long enough haha

[nu_breed]

That's because you chose an extremely dynamic source lol
