Hello everyone!! This post wraps up our Spring 2021 Vexercises 2.0, though of course you can still post things later if you'd like! But the official "due date" for the 8th vexercise, the free vid, was yesterday: for those of you who attempted and/or finished it, how'd it go? Anyone still working on theirs? (*raises hand*)

And for everyone who participated in the Spring 2021 Vexercises, thank you so much for sharing your time & creativity! This is such a wonderful community and has been a total source of joy for me this Spring. Please share your thoughts on the vexercises, suggestions for the future etc. in this post if you'd like! 

Stay tuned for a (very shortly, like, momentarily) post about the launch of the Summer School Vexercises!

Hi everyone! How's it going? Are folks working on a final free vid? If so, how does it feel to be freed of the 1 minute restriction? And well, all the other restrictions? Is it freeing? Overwhelming? Awesome? Awesomely terrifying? 

I realized we never really clarified a "due" date for the final free vid, since the timing got delayed at the end because of the cons etc. Let's say July 17th?

And then we can kick off the new Summer edition on July 18th! There seems like there's plenty of interest in the summer edition, so it's a go :) Stay tuned for more details on the Summer Special Exercises!

 So the 8th Vexercise for the 2.0 round is the same as for the O.G. round: a free vid, no rules! Even the 1 minute restriction is gone! (Unless you really wanna hold onto it...or you could go even shorter, and make a instagram or tiktok vid :D)

The only guidelines here are: do your best to draw on the tools we've been playing with throughout the vexercises, some or all of them, it's up to you. 

Vexercise 8: Free Vid!

Deploy any and all of these techniques to make the fan video edit of your heart, including but not limited to your chosen source, length entirely up to you! Try to deploy some combination of the various techniques you explored in the exercises along the way.

Hello everyone! It's crazy that we've made it this far, and it's been so wonderful to see everyone's vidding explorations along the way!

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 8: Free Vid!

Deploy any and all of these techniques to make the fan video edit of your heart, including but not limited to your chosen source, length entirely up to you! Try to deploy some combination of the various techniques you explored in the exercises along the way.

Now I realize two weeks is on the short side for making a full vid, but it is *possible,* though the process will certainly look different than for a vid that say takes six months. But I know that I sometimes find a release in a tight deadline that helps me loosen up on my perfectionism and just go for it, and then send something out into the world, and so I hope that can be the spirit of this final exercise!

Please share any questions here! Ooh, and 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.
