VfXercise 2 drops

[lola]

Hi all! For those of you who want to try your had at learning special effects/vfx, you can join in with the VfXercises (in addition to or in place of the regular vexercises, whatever you want!)

We're on to VfXercise 2: 

20-30 second edit, with transitions between shots (bonus if you use 3D transitions). You could put transitions between all of the shots, or just some of them.

Transitions are huge on tiktok and instagram edits, and there are a million tutorials for AE transitions (or video star); I played around with them, but also wanted to tone them down a bit for a more vidding-like aesthetic

I made two videos as examples/learning the ropes myself!

Oneus Got A Secret (glitch transitions)

Worship Me (oneus stage mix) 

I used this tutorial for the glitch transition video - he goes super fast but I paused a lot :D 

And I used this tutorial (though just the radial wipe) for the stage mix

Ooh, I love this, I love the way the glitch transitions (and really all of the transitions) feel like a part of the work of the video, not something sewing it together, if that makes sense. Very nice!

Ooh, thank you! I think it might be because it's obviously video game footage, so some sort of glitchiness is more inherent to the medium than in live action? Still trying to figure out more "visible" transitions and what they mean.
