Heya Vexercisers! This is just a quick reminder that Vexercise 5 - colour/colour correction/light-building technically wraps up tomorrow (insofar as any Vexercise is ever "done" - please feel free to post any time!) If you've got something to post, make sure you put it in the comments of the kickoff post, and also remember to add it to the AO3 collection if you want to!

On Monday I will make a round-up post which collects all the posted Vexercise 5s as of then and I'll also launch Vexercise 6 (given a lot of folks are at fanworkscon I'm holding off till Monday for both of these)

Happy Saturday/Sunday everyone! How are you going with your colour/colour grading/lightbuilding vexercise?

If you've started already (or finished), are there things you're finding challenging? Satisfying? Both at once?

I ended up getting carried away with mine and accidentally ended up with a whole vid which I'm about to post.

It seems lightbuilding is a confusing concept for a bunch of folks and I would say it's really up for interpretation. In my mind it's using the lighting (natural or artificial) like you would use movement or graphic matching - letting the flow of it guide your editing choices. If anyone has more questions please ask! And/or if you're stuck with colour, let us know and we can chat about it :)

Hey everyone, as I mentioned in my last post it's time to drop Vexercise 5!

This exercise is focused on colour/colour grading (or color if you are, unlike me, from the US!)

So the brief here is to make a one minute video where you let color guide the logic and flow, either by selection or special effects.

Highly recommended: download a LUT and try using it!

There are many many LUT resources out there. Here are a few links you could try:

How to Install LUTS in Davinci Resolve
How To Install LUTs in Premiere Pro 2020 on MacOS super EASY!
How to Properly Install Luts in Premiere Pro for Windows & Mac Users

I haven't listed any vid examples here because there are numerous examples of vids that use colour in either of these ways (on the colour grading side there are too many YT vids to count that meet this brief!) But do please make suggestions in the comments!!!

Advanced: Lightbuilding

Lim talks about this in Demystifying Vidding. Produce a one minute vid where your guiding logic is lightbuilding. Try letting the flow and build of light guide your editing choices throughout.

Example vid: Lim's Expo (MCU)

Also some of these examples from Vexercises 2.0 may be useful!

Any questions, please ask!
