Vexercise 2 "Due" Today!

[lola]

Hi everyone who is vexercising for distraction! The Vexercise 2s are now officially "due"! If you've got something to post, make sure you put it in the Vexercise 2 post, and also remember to add it to the AO3 collection if you like. We'll post a Vexercise 2 round up soon!

How did your ventures into match on action and graphic matching go? How do you feel about your finished project? Did you get new insights into your source text, maybe, or gain some technical know how? Get stuck on anything? Hopefully in any case it was a fun creative exploration! 

Stay tuned shortly for the drop of Vexercise 3!

(It's so pretty, isn't it! It's from Unsplash, my usual dealer of moody ocean photos. I have... a lot.)

exactly 1-minute-long vid being a video version of a drabble feels very apt. Although it perhaps isn't as super-short as a drabble is compared to regular fic. I'd say it's more like a 1000-word fic. Maybe a video drabble would be a 10-second vid, then?

I love editing music for vids, but it's the hardest, most frustrating part when I need it to match the exact length. The phrasing is always off, a fade-out sounds awkward, a sharp cut is too abrupt... just, argh.

I kinda want to try a 10-second "video drabble" now, that sounds intriguing.

I think last year there was a vidding haiku option for vex 1? (The summer school, it seems!) On the one hand, it's named after poetry, but it might also fit the drabble concept.

This is why this year I've just been going for 1 minute + as many seconds I need to make the ending transition work. Much more satisfying, vid-wise.
