Hello all! Happy Saturday/Sunday! How are you going with your lyrical play vexercise?

If you've started already (or finished), are there things you're finding challenging? Satisfying? Both at once?

I have barely started mine as I'm sick with a cold and trying to get my vids ready to submit to Fanworks Con before the deadline on Monday, but after that I'm keen to get back to it!

Let us know if you're stuck and not quite sure how to start and if you feel up to sharing your ideas/approach maybe we can all help brainstorm! Equally if you really don't know where to start let us know and maybe we can figure it out together!

I'm also behind on mine because I was focussing on finishing my fanworks premiere, but that's submitted now, at least! I spent a *long* time yesterday looking for songs, and no luck yet (what's more difficult than trying to find a vid song? trying to find *two* vid songs!)

I do think the "and then substitute the original song for an instrumental song" part of the exercise is leading me to approach this differently than if the exercise were entirely about typography. (Like, it's making me think a lot more about, what do these lyrics say, and what *could* they say if they had to stand on their own? And I think otherwise it'd be more about, could I make these lyrics look cool on screen.) So that's where I'm getting stuck and overthinking things at this point!

Yes that last version is the trickiest, and if it's totally holding you up you can just skip it, of course! (The rules are all made to be broken in the vexercises!) But I do think it's interesting to think about the words on their own and how they would read in a new context... interesting, but not necessary, and not worth totally freezing the creative process!
(sorry for the late reply!)
