Final Vexercise (7) drops!

[nu_breed]

Hello everyone! So we are on the home stretch!

This last exercise lifts the 1 minute "restriction," and there's no particular focus, but it does ask you to draw on the tools we've been playing with throughout the vexercises:

Vexercise 7: Free Vid!

Deploy any and all of the Vexercise techniques to make the fan video edit of your heart, including but not limited to your chosen source and length entirely up to you! Try to deploy a combination of the various techniques you explored in the exercises along the way.

We realise that a two week timeframe is on the short side for making a full vid, but it is *possible,* however the process will certainly look different than for a vid that you have months to play with.

Sometimes, though, having a tighter timeframe can help! You might have to loosen up on perfectionism and constant tweaking and just go for it, which can be a challenge in and of itself or you might find it very freeing! We hope this final exercise will be more towards the latter than the former!

Please share any questions here as well as any thoughts you have on the Vexercises as a whole! We'll make a post later asking for feedback about particular exercises, which ones could be adjusted, which worked best...but would love to hear any initial thoughts you have about the process overall here.

This started out as a quick vid for the Rhythmic Editing vexercise but outgrew those limits and ended up as my premiere vid for Fanworks. I thought I'd use it as my Free Vid. Talking to other vidders at Fanworks inspired me to buy effects software (Motion to use with FCP) and up my game a bit so if I'll be ready for Vexercises next year, if we do this again.

I did it! Vexercise challenge complete!

Title: [Vid] Small Talks
Song: "Small Talks" by Liza Anne
Source: Miss Sherlock
Length: 2:17

I really enjoyed this round of Vexercises! I feel like I learned a lot (using text, masking, lots and lots of keyframing in some of the exercises...) And I'm pretty proud of what I've been able to create! Looking forward to hopefully doing this again next year!

...And I posted an extra, bonus vexercise, to make it 8 for this round. I did the Audio Layering vexercise, from the Original round:

[Vexercise 3 Bonus] - 221B
A teaser trailer set to the theme music ("221B Baker Street") for the Granada Holmes series.

Well done! And yes anyone should feel free to do any past Vexercise! I'm tossing up whether I might do the constructed reality one myself :)

[nu_breed]

Ahhhhhh this is so delightful!

I! Have! Finished! It! \o/

Common People, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy; class critique of Padmé Amidala. The song is, of course, Common People, though in the William Shatner cover, as that one went the hardest. I admit I pregamed a bit and did this in ~3 weeks instead of 2, but fuck it, it's 4:34 long.

Congrats on completing the vid! Love the choice of the Shatner cover for this :D

Thank you!! It was one hell of a crunch, but I am so glad I managed it in the end.

I am in the middle of a cross-country move, so instead of making a brand-new vid I polished something I've been fiddling with since last January: Noble Blood || Narnia. (Also on AO3.)

[nu_breed]

Oh this is STUNNING.

[colls]

I made it!! Thank you for the extension! ♥

This was such a fun series of challenges to do this year! Thank you both for hosting!
