Vexercise 2 Check In & Origins

Hello Vexercisers! Somehow, it's the weekend already! How is Vexercise 2 treating you? Are you finding it easier or harder than Vexercise 1? What types of issues are cropping up? 

People seemed to like when I shared the origins for Vexercise 1, so I'll try to keep that going. In this case, this Vexercise was in part inspired by this post by Lim in the Videlicet Vidding Zine. I feel like motion and graphic matching are such a wonderful tools in vidding, but maybe ones we don't talk about explicitly all that often, at least as often as we do scene choice, lyrical interpretation, etc. 

Does approaching this Vexercise looking for opportunities for graphic and motion matching make you see the source in a different way? Does it maybe give new insights about repeating imagery or camera movements in your source? I find that's totally happening to me!

I'm jammed at work this week so I haven't worked on this exercise but I'm allowing myself a pass because one of the example vids for the exercise post is my YoI vid, which was my own exercise in both motion and graphic matching, so I am allowing myself to not feel bad that everyone else is working hard on their craft when I'm stuck just ... working hard, lol. Next week things will calm down! And I have plans! Sort of! For exercise 3. Meanwhile I am devouring everyone's creations with so much excitement for exercise 2.
