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.

I continued with my SWTOR Jedi Consular journey, this time restricting myself to footage I had of Tython. This turned out to be a bit of a mistake, as ... there was not that much motion to match. *g* I succumbed to the sunk cost fallacy, did my best with graphical matches and intentional de-matches, and then added some extra pizzazz in the form of a charcoal filter (with the original footage on top with Screen blend mode). If nothing else, the effect looks fine?

I haven't tried to tackle video game footage, so anytime I see it done I'm impressed. And I can see where you have some motion flowing from one clip to another - if that helps at all ;)
The comic filter effect gives it a whole other artistic quality that I find intriguing!

[extrapenguin]

I do know I have some matches, that was just me complaining that I managed an insufficient quantity of them. I'm glad to hear the filter worked!

Oh wow, the filter effect throughout gave it an interesting feeling. I think the first few graphical matches were especially effective.

Thanks! For something that was in effect a last-minute whim, it really does add something.

Oh man the filter is SUCH a great choice! It really helps the shots flow.
