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.

For a source I can absolutely not do justice - it's so gorgeous, and so moving, and so funny. (As expected when directed by Taika Waititi!) They say home is the place where your heart is - Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Using match on action & graphic matching, except for where I wanted to give an impression of breaking off and starting over. (Hopefully it worked! I don't know. This actually does slightly more subtle matching than when I go all out, but I ended up wanting to squeeze some particular imagery/themes in there.)

It's SO stunning!

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

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

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).

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.
