Vexercise 6 drops! Side character study/Response fanvid

[nu_breed]

Hello vidders and viewers! Here we go with Vexercise 6! This is one I've personally been looking forward to a lot :D

For this, the last vexercise before the free vid, you have two different choices!

Side character study

Produce a one minute video edit from your selected source focusing on a side character, making them the central character of your vid. Audio can be of your choosing.

Examples:
Blackbird (HP fanvid; McGonagall focus)
Lose Control (Nie Brothers, The Untamed)

Or, Response fanvid:

Produce a one minute video edit that responds to/remixes another fanvid, Vexercise or other.

If you're going to remix another vid, please do ask the vidder for permission; but there are other ways to respond too, such as your own brand new fanvid as a form of conceptual or formal reply inspired by a particular fanvid.

Examples:

Mei Changsu is Climbing the Mountain (Nirvana in Fire), a remix/response to The Mountain (Nirvana in Fire)
Fire Drills (The Untamed), inspired by Women’s Work (Supernatural)

If you have any other examples for either of these options, feel free to let us know in the comments!

Lola is in France right now (SO JEALOUS OMG) but I'm here and available to answer any questions you might have! :D

I didn't have a vid to respond to, so I went for the side character one and decided to do Mace Windu. (SWTOR's side characters usually stand to the side of the frame, so it would have been a bit hard to get 1min of good footage on literally anyone I have a fuck about.) Then, of course, I listened to my entire music catalogue in search of a song... and came up empty.

After a panicked listen-throughs of like three new to me albums that also came up empty, I decided to do something a little different. Usually my vids are at least mostly along the grain of the canon's intended reading, but I went for something a bit more across/against the grain than usual: Die Like a God. (Also I did a bunch of color grading as penance for the comparative lack for the last vid. *g*)

You mined some great footage of Mace Windu! So many scenes I've forgotten. And nicely arranged!

[extrapenguin]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the arrangement

I chose Side Character and made a 1-min vid about Enfys Nest and the Partisans

Fandom: Star Wars (Rogue One, Solo)

This is AWESOME - I don't go here but I love them *______*

Thanks! The partisans aren't really talked about a lot in the movie-fan spaces. It's like they've been snuck into the background in a couple places. I find them (and Enfys Nest) fascinating characters. But not so much footage - making a 1 min "side character" the PERFECT place for them! :D

Arwen || White Bird (for LotR, the side character challenege)

This was a surprisingly difficult challenge! Everything from the music to clips to rhythm/flow/pacing was difficult (I didn't make it easier for myself with my choice of character but...). I did discover a lot of songs I'd never heard before in my quest for The One though!

[nu_breed]

This is so gorgeous! And I love the song choice.

So in Miss Sherlock, the actor who plays the Mycroft character, Sherlock's brother Futaba Kento, is Ozawa Yukiyoshi, perhaps better known to vidding audiences for his role as Long Long Man in the Sakeru Gum commercials. So. I couldn't help myself.

[Vexercise 6] - Long Long Man

It's not a response vid, but it definitely owes its existence to The Bubblegum is a Metaphor by sandlewoodbox

[nu_breed]

What a delightful face! And I love the concept of this :D

I made a really last-minute one today about Ah-Ning from Ultimate Note! Could also be considered a response(?) to or at least inspired by a little wicked by inimitablereel.

I'm not your friend

I have a bit of a backlog of vexercise wips so I'm going to try to finish up a couple of those and post them to ao3 eventually

[nu_breed]

Ahhhhh I love this!!!
