Vexercise 5 check-in

Happy Saturday/Sunday everyone! How are you going with your colour/colour grading/lightbuilding vexercise?

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

I ended up getting carried away with mine and accidentally ended up with a whole vid which I'm about to post.

It seems lightbuilding is a confusing concept for a bunch of folks and I would say it's really up for interpretation. In my mind it's using the lighting (natural or artificial) like you would use movement or graphic matching - letting the flow of it guide your editing choices. If anyone has more questions please ask! And/or if you're stuck with colour, let us know and we can chat about it :)

I am so stressed that I have "failed" to get things in by the "deadline" that I would appreciate reassurance even if I know it's always okay to submit things late...! I really want to do all of the Vexercises this year, because they're super fun and creative, but I've been doing outdoor things to take advantage of Sweden's short summer, and now anxiety brain is basically convinced that "oh no I will get a bad grade in vidding". (This is funny because I feel there is nowhere else that gives such good support in vidding!! Honestly I know I could roll up six months from now and it would still be okay. But you know. Brains.)

This was exactly what I needed to hear!! Thank you so much. ♥ Excited to get back into vidding once the outdoor weather ends and the days get too short for outdoor activities to be tempting after work.
