Happy Sunday Everyone! It's time for Vexercise 3:
3) Audio layering supercut
The instructions read as follows: {edited for music version!}
Produce a 1 minute video edit of your selected source, in which you edit together similar visuals (this could be a theme like “hands” or “curtains,” or it could be a type of shot or camera work like “all the close ups”). Your audio for this should be a selection of spoken word from your source, or audio that is not music from your source. You can combine these spoken word or non-music sounds with music if you want! The audio and visuals can line up some of the time or none of the time. If your source doesn’t have audio, you can choose audio from another source.
My guess is that this one might be an unfamiliar process to some--that is, maybe those of us who have vidded before still may not have a lot of experience with this one. That's true for me--I haven't done a lot of audio editing beyond cutting songs down to size. But this practice of audio editing fan video is very popular within certain fandoms and fan communities and is spreading rapidly, and can be so amazingly done. Plus there are those videos that integrate audio *into* a song like all the Glitter and Golds. Strictly speaking that doesn't fit into this challenge, BUT if someone wants to go for it I know I for one would be excited to see it!

Vids- hmmmm there was one of Sherlock's coat that I loved, but I can't seem to find it... if you can think of any vids that incorporate or use supercut logics, please share then and I'll add them here!
- Ummm how about this Guardian one: warning for lollipop indecency :D Guardian - WeiLan】Lollipop Temptation
Sooo, you may have questions, ask them here!!! And if and when you create something for this challenge, of course do share it here and with the A03 Vexercises collection!!
As always, we'll have a check in next week, and this exercise will be due the following week, on April 25th.
Happy vidding :)
ETA: I've been pondering this (and contemplating my own vexercise!) and I think that, since music is so important to vids, and so many of the examples we gave actually do incorporate music, it makes sense for the rules for this one to expand to incorporate external music, as long as you *also* edit audio source. :)
