Vexercise 2 (Visual Matching) drops!

[nu_breed]

Please let us know in the comments of any other vids you would suggest as examples of motion/graphic matching!Hi all! Firstly, thank you for all your amazing Pechakuchas for Vexercise 1! Lola and I have been so thrilled with the engagement and creativity we’ve been seeing, not to mention the wide range of fandoms represented! So great 😀

And of course there is no “final” due date so if you feel like you are as bitten by the Pechakuchas bug as we are, please feel free to keep posting more! And don’t forget to add them to the Vexercises collection on AO3 (if you are posting there, that is).

Now on to Vexercise 2!

Your task for this one is to produce a one minute video edit (with an audio track of your own choosing) on your selected source using match-on-action and/or graphic matches as your primary editing logics. The motion of each shot should seem to continue into motion in the following shot and/or connect through images that are similar to the eye. 

Here's a really helpful video on different types of match cuts (with lots of helpful Sherlock examples!) This video is about match cuts in cinema and TV, but it's really cool how we can adapt these techniques to vidding/fan video editing. 

And here are some vids that use visual continuity, match on action, and graphic matching (feel free to rec others in the comments!)

General note: most of these vids contain a bunch of visual triggers (immersive motion/kinetic editing as well as light flashes) and timestamping every potential trigger in the below is a massive job so please bear in mind if you are sensitive to these types of visual triggers.

K9!!! I loved the movement in this a lot.

[lizardjay]

Oh I love this movie! This is so sweet. And with such good matching!

[lizardjay]

This was so much fun :D

[lizardjay]

Thank you!!

[lizardjay]

Thanks! I normally would've picked a pop song or something for the action, but this was fun too :D

I have made a second Vexercise 2 offering this one more in the style of the vexercise (vs. my previous TKEM camera movement focused one).

So have some forward momentum pondering for My Country: The New Age here

[pi]

This is so delightful! The matching makes this feel very sharp/clean visually in a really engaging way. I have all the feels, but I also with the matching and the sword section feel like I'm watching them dance with each other. The romance and the pain <3 This minute is a gem I will cherish!

[pi]

This is lovely! The matching of the staring down a well (?) to the glasses circle is amazing, you have such a beautiful, seamless flow which makes the impacting the wall section breaking that up hit harder. Like I haven't actually seen this show but I really feel for these characters getting hurt and you set it up really well.

[pi]

Oh this is very sweet, sad but then also heartwarming, just lovely and the visual matching makes for a very smooth through quality which I think fits well with the going on a journey together to find their home (which is each other).

[pi]

This is really fun! Excellent song choice and use of theme (and K-9!). This makes me smile.

Thank you!! ♥

Thank you! It's such a wonderful movie, and it really made it easy for me to do something for this exercise.

a journey together to find their home (which is each other)

Yes!! Exactly this is what it's about, and I love the movie so much, and I'm so glad you thought the exercise was a good fit for it.

Nice action, like everyone's already said, I like good swordplay

[valoise]

Very impressive visuals. The director has a great touch and you've highlighted it really well. I haven't watched this series, but I'm a sucker for good directors so I might look it up.

[valoise]

Thanks, I've got a real soft spot for K9

[valoise]

Thanks, it was fun to make

[valoise]

Glad you liked it.

[marah_sarie]

I did it! I tried to focus on matching clips with similar internal motion, for the most part.

[lizardjay]

Thank you!!

[lizardjay]

This is lovely! It finally made matching on repeated actions make sense to me. I really struggled with understanding that myself but you made it really natural and flowing.

[lizardjay]

This is really nice, it doesn't feel like it's nearly as long as it is! I really like how you go back and forth so much between the same things, it feels like that has a lot of narrative meaning (though since I haven't watched the canon I don't know what that meaning might be). And that first footstep is so good.

Less cohesive than I would have like, but I had fun experimenting
