Vidding Exercises for Creative Distraction

Hey all! We are officially just past the deadline for the final free vid exercise, but we thought we might just check in to see if anyone is still working on theirs and might benefit from a little extra time? I'm in this boat and I'm happy to post after the deadline (as usual, no vexercise is ever truly closed!) but if anyone else is also on their way to finishing we thought we might extend till this weekend.

Please let us know - otherwise I'll do the round-up post for the vids we have had so far and we will call Vexercises complete!

ETA: Okay, let's hold the close-off over till Sunday as we have 1-2 people who may get their vids in on the weekend. I'll do the roundup post then :)

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.
