Hi all! One week in--how are your pechakuchas going?

There have been so many posted already, so awesome!!! Lola and I are both super thrilled that you are all so engaged and inspired :D

For those of you that have already posted, what was the experience like? How did you go through the process of narrowing down your visual source, choosing your clips, choosing your music? Were there any tech issues or other challenges you ran into?

For those of you who haven't yet started where are you at with it? Do you have some things you're still trying to decide on--like your focus, your source, etc? Let us know, maybe we can help you figure it out!

Hi all!!! Here we go, the first vexercise of summer 2022! Welcome to Vexercisers old & new!

For this first vexercise, we decided to keep it simple and stay with the original version of the vexercise. We've found that this vidding pechakucha variation remains a terrific exercise for people new to vidding to learn the ropes of editing, and for more experienced editors to try out new media sources, new ideas, or to embrace the limitations and to see what you can do within them.

So many amazing and inspiring videos have come out of Pechakuchas. We have a playlist of them here that

bonibaru put together, plus others that were not posted to YouTube at the
Vexercise collection on A03

Here are the instructions/guidelines for this first vexercise:

**1) Pechakucha 2 ways**

Create a video edit of exactly 60 seconds consisting of precisely 10 video clips from your chosen source text, each lasting precisely 6 seconds, assembled with straight cuts. Make two versions of your pechakucha, with 1 minute excerpts from two different songs as audio. Fade in and out on your audio at the beginning and end of the audio clip.

[Word to the wise: Most six second clips that you use are bound to have in-clip cuts--you don't have to go looking only for clips that have no internal cuts. But you can make those internal cuts work for you rhythmically or thematically etc!]

This exercise is inspired directly by the first of the videographic criticism exercises, but modified here to be vid/fanedit focused with the inclusion of music from an outside source. You can see some examples of the original videographic pechakucha’s here and a more vidlike one Lola made here!

Stay tuned for a post about the bonus VfXercise (special effects oriented challenge) for this round and a breakdown of each vexercise and the "due" dates should you wish to get a head start!

If you have any questions about this vexercise, either before you start or as you get going, feel free to post them here!

This vexercise will be "due" in two weeks, so June 11.

Also, please feel free to post your work to the Vexercise AO3 collection!

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow is the official due date, such as it is, for Vexercise 1. But I'll be traveling (NYC here I come!) so I thought I'd post now.

How'd your haikus and pechakuchas go? I know folks have already written some thoughts about the differences between the two.

I found for myself that haikus are almost good breeding ground for full vids, where pechakuchas are perhaps better for learning or just experimenting with a source. (And it sounded like others felt the same). But I really enjoy for both of them the set rules to follow--having those sort of frees me up to play more with less anxiety about whether I'm doing it perfectly, and then (paradoxically?) I feel more creative.

Curious to hear how they work for others! Are you eager to have less rules for upcoming vexercises? More time to work with (timeline wise, that is)?

Vex 2 drops on Sunday! (I'll try my best to steal some time in our travels to post it...)

Current Mood: excited

lola

Hello summer school vexercisers!! How’s it going with the first vexercise? Did you decide to try the haikus, pechakuchas, both? If you did the haikus, how do you feel about the short length and the particular 5/7/5 second structure? If you’re doing the pechakuchas, how did you feel about the two different versions? Which version did you like best of the two you made, and why? And if you’ve done both haikus and pechakuchas, how do they compare?

I’ll admit, I’m kind of dying to hear about the haikus especially, and the difference in experience between haikus and pechakuchas, since we’re the first group taking them from theory to practice pretty much, and I do feel like they have a pretty different flow (both creating them and then the final product) than the pechakuchas.

Also, let’s have a convo about tech! What editing programs are you using? What computers/devices are you using, for that matter? Does anyone have questions about how to get source etc., or how to do certain steps of the process?

Hope you’re having fun vidding/vexercising!

Hello everyone! Just a reminder that today is the official due date for Exercise 1: Pechakuchas! Many have already been posted both here and to the A03 collection, and we're hoping to see some more come in today for those of you motivated by a nice firm deadline :)

(But course if you joined us late or just need more time for any reason at all, that's totally fine too! )

After today, we'll be making a post that compiles all of the pikachus for your viewing and commenting enjoyment. And tomorrow exercise 2 drops!

If you're finished or finishing, how about a debrief. How'd it go? Did your pikachus inspire further pikachus, or maybe even full vids? Let us know!

Current Mood: excited

lola

Hi all! So based on the poll, it seems like most people feel good about the timeline as it is for now. BUT for those of you who are itching to do something new/additional, here's an Extra Super Challenge Pechakucha: Transition Edition!

All the same rules as the pechakucha, BUT you can't use any straight cuts. You can use whatever other transitions you wish--you can use all crazy different ones, or just the same one all the way through. But try to make the transitions work for you as part of your pechakucha.

So if you feel like it, join us in this extra round, and post your results here in the comments (and to the A03 collection of course!)

bonibaru

Happy Sunday vexercisers! It's time to check in and see how everyone's doing with this round's exercise.

-Have you completed a work that hasn't yet been added to the main exercise post and/or the AO3 Collection? Let us know!
-Have you visited the above post/collection and viewed your fellow vidders' works? Leave some comments and let them know what you thought :)
-Are you experiencing any issues - technical, artistic, or otherwise - that our community's brains might be able to help you with? Ask about them here!
-Do you have lingering questions about the rationale behind the exercise? Or has working on it raised other kinds of questions for you? Ask them here!

Don't forget to take our poll about the length of time allotted. Let us know what you think. Keep in mind that the exercises may become a little more complex as we go, depending on your skill level and familiarity with the source (by the way, if you're done with this round, you can always peek ahead to round two and start auditioning audio or reviewing your source).

We're adjusting the schedule a little bit to make things smoother around work/school schedules. Round 1 will now end on Saturday, March 28 and the second exercise drops on Sunday, March 29. On Sunday we'll also put up a master post with links to all the completed exercises so far including any that, for whatever reason, haven't been added to AO3 (so make sure to leave us a link here to your completed work when it's done!)

Current Mood: creative

Hello all! Today's the day we kick off our first exercise. This exercise is designed to be reasonably accessible to all... if you're new to editing, then it's a doable way in, and if you already know your way around editing software, then it's addictively fun to make these pechakuchas and surprising how well they turn out!

Here's the description:

1) Pechakucha 2 ways

Then, when you're done, come back here to this post, and post a link in the comments to your completed exercise(s) when they're finished!

[This exercise is inspired directly by the first of the videographic criticism exercises, but modified here to be vid/fanedit focused with the inclusion of music from an outside source. You can see some examples of the videographic pechakucha’s here: http://videographicessay.org/works/videographic-essay/videographic-pechakuchas?path=videographic-exercises and a more vidlike one Lola made here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls9x7shBjDY.]

For all of these exercises, the rules are hard and fast, unless you don't want them to be :D Some people work best with really specific restrictions, others work best as rule breakers <3

So edit, share, question, mess around, and experiment! Have fun!

Stay tuned for posts & discussions on various video-editing softwares & on choosing your source.
