Vexercise 4 Drops: Lyrical Play

 
Hi all! It's time for Vexercise 4 (wow, time flies!) This one is focused on working with incorporating lyrics conceptually and as text. (For those of you who did the vfxercise 3 on typography, you got a little taste/head start on this one!) Here are the details:
 

Lyrical play/no lyrics (3 versions):

Produce a 1 minute video edit from your selected source, in which lyrical interpretation guides your shot choice. You could interpret the lyrics literally or metaphorically/suggestively. Once you have completed this video, choose selected lyrics to incorporate creatively as text within the video. Then make a version of this video with the text, but substituting the original audio with a different piece of music that has no lyrics.

Advanced Version: Lyrical Play with Key Frames & Masking
Follow the guidelines for the OG version, but try using key frames for moving text or text masking.

And here are some useful resources & tutorials:

Three vids for The Lord of the Rings! Pun intended.

original vid
lyric video
new video

a playlist of all of the vids

The last video is definitely ignoring instructions a whole lot, haha, but I'm proud of how these turned out thematically.

(Kdenlive is annoying for text--I ended up doing most of the text in GIMP and importing images to Kdenlive. I should probably find the time to learn how to use Resolve.)

Thank you very much! I did debate the flickering but kept it in in the end--I'm glad you liked it.

(Once I get a bit of free time I will be attempting to learn Resolve.)

Thank you. The third vid is not strictly within the rules of the challenge, but I really wanted a vid that was somewhat different thematically but where the text and clips still made sense; I'm glad it worked for you!
