Week 4 Vexercise Drops!! Side Character Study

[lola]

So for this week we're taking a break from all the various formal constraints (beside the one minute limit... which uh... can be a wonderful guideline if it's helpful to you, taking the pressure off to make something bigger, but if you're inspired you can certainly keep going ike I totally did in my last vexercise

One of the things vids can do so wonderfully is bring to the fore and distill side characters, and that's what this vexercise is all about:

4) Side character study


Produce a 1 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.

Inspirations:

Blackbird (HP fanvid; McGonagall focus)

Insane (Xue Yang, The Untamed) 

Feel free to rec your favorite side character vids in the comments below too!

Can't wait to see what you all come up with. Happy vidding!

*turns up early with tea* I continued with my Guardian vidding, and, uh, I abandoned all pretenses of rule-abiding to make a full-length vid! Shadows Crawling (on AO3). The song didn't cut nicely into 1 minute, so I made a 1:05 edit, then decided I might as well expand it into a full-length vid. For those not in the canon, warnings for hanging and suicidal ideation. Maybe also a flickering image warning? (Could someone tell me what the threshold is for flickering images? /inexperienced)

Oh a Li Qian vid, wow! When you single out her story like that, you really see how she could be the lead of her own version of this series. I love the way you deployed cyclical editing to convey how trapped she feels! Really compelling!!
