Happy Sunday/Monday everyone! How are we all going with our side character/vid response vexercise?

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

I'm currently re-clipping my source due to a technical issue ughhhh excruciating honestly but that's a different topic altogether - I do have a response vid I am itching to start on, though!

If anyone has any questions/concerns please do comment and maybe we can chat it out :)

Hello vidders and viewers! Here we go with Vexercise 6! This is one I've personally been looking forward to a lot :D

For this, the last vexercise before the free vid, you have two different choices!

Side character study

Produce a one 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.

Examples:
Blackbird (HP fanvid; McGonagall focus)
Lose Control (Nie Brothers, The Untamed)

Or, Response fanvid:

Produce a one minute video edit that responds to/remixes another fanvid, Vexercise or other.

If you're going to remix another vid, please do ask the vidder for permission; but there are other ways to respond too, such as your own brand new fanvid as a form of conceptual or formal reply inspired by a particular fanvid.

Examples:

Mei Changsu is Climbing the Mountain (Nirvana in Fire), a remix/response to The Mountain (Nirvana in Fire)
Fire Drills (The Untamed), inspired by Women’s Work (Supernatural)

If you have any other examples for either of these options, feel free to let us know in the comments!

Lola is in France right now (SO JEALOUS OMG) but I'm here and available to answer any questions you might have! :D

Hi folks! So we've reached the end of our Vex 6 "extension" and are ready to move on to Vex 7 (well, theoretically :D Some of us are still *cough* lost in the endless universe that is typography). For those of you who have completed your genre-shifting or alternative narrative construction videos, how'd it go? How do you feel about the outcome? Any advice for others coming after who are going to give this vexercise a try, in either variation?

Vexercise 7 drop post coming soon!!

lola

Hi vexercisers! So boni and I were thinking, with vidukon coming up and all (not to mention deadlines for con.txt) we know folks have been busy with other things, and if you're like me, you're just a *wee* bit behind where you wanted to be with your vexercise (*cough* I'm still working on my typography vid *cough*). So we thought we'd postpone the due date for this week's vexercise till next weekend, and then also drop vexercise 7 next Sunday, when vidukon-goers may likely be feeling very inspired and itching to get to their editing software. So, no vexercise due today/this weekend! Of course if you're ready to turn yours in, that's awesome -- please do share and inspire other people in their alternative universe and genre/mashing experimentation!
Otherwise, feel free to share here: how's it going? is there anything that's getting you stuck? what concepts are people working with? Looking forward to seeing these vexercises come in!

Current Mood: content

(So I just am a day late on everything this week... whoops sorry about that)

We're on to Vexercise 6:

The OG Version:

Genre-Mashing/Alternative Universe: Produce a 1 minute video edit that combines your selected source with another source from a different genre (i.e. fantasy, western, sitcom, film noir), and/or use editing to transform the genre of your source text. Audio can be of your choosing.

And the Vexercise 2.0 version:

Alternative Narrative: 1 minute vid where you create an alternative/constructed narrative. (I know this is a possibility with the OG version, but it’s hard, and no one really went for it last time--we all leaned much more to the genre mixing side of things!)

Both versions of this vexercise is inspired by the many amazing genre shifting AU/constructed narrative vids coming out of Chinese vidding these days, but there are many histories to these types of genre mash ups. Share your favorites (or share thoughts/ask questions) in the comments!

Welcome to the actually mostly on time round up post for Vexercise 6: genre mashing/AU!

I hope you all take the chance to see each other's work & comment on it because there are some really clever and entertaining submissions this round! You folks are astoundingly creative. And I still can't believe some of you are new vidders. Honestly! I'm blown away every week.

Hi all!! Today is the Technically Official But Mostly Only If You Need It To Be due date for Vexercise 6. How did your genre mashing/AU experience turn out? Or are you still working on it? (Lola is! Except she keeps losing internet and electricity due to weather so that's why you are stuck with bonibaru posting everything today, haha.) I have like 5 planned out and never any chance to make them. When restrictions in New Jersey start to loosen up, I am really looking forward to my family getting out of the house and leaving me alone :D :D :D so I can catch up too.

As always, tomorrow there will be a round up post of everyone's submissions (I PROMISE), and also Vexercise 7 drops! Finally, if you want to (totally up to you), don't forget to add your videos to the Vexercise collection on AO3!

lola

Hi Vexercise folks! So sorry that this check-in is a bit late. But! genre transformation vids are starting to come in :-) How are you finding this vexercise? It asks for a different kind of rethinking and repurposing of your source. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the process! Did you choose to use a second source to help your transformation, or to just transform via editing, coloring, etc., and why? And of course any questions you might have. Happy vidding!

Current Mood: calm

And we are in the the advanced round // genre mashing/AU vexercise!

Produce a 1 minute video edit that combines your selected source with another source from a different genre (i.e. fantasy, western, sitcom, film noir), and/or use editing to transform the genre of your source text. Audio can be of your choosing.

This vexercise is inspired by the many amazing genre shifting AU vids coming out of Chinese vidding these days, but there are many histories to these types of genre mash ups. Share your favorites in the comments!
