Welcome to the Vidding Exercises community! This comm is meant to be for newbie, aspiring, and experienced fan video makers alike. This is a stressful time, and I know many (us mods included!) are looking for distraction--we hope maybe this will be a good, productive distraction opportunity!
We've developed a set of
exercise prompts for one minute videos that will help you stretch your creativity within creative constraints. These exercises were originally inspired by the
videographic criticism exercises, but these of course are specific to fan videos/fan edits/fmvs, whatever you want to call them!
The basic plan is that we'll launch a new exercise every two weeks, with a check in in between. And as you work, you can ask questions, share your progress, make suggestions for adjusted or new exercises, etc. at the comm as well.
If you come after the exercises are already in motion, no worries! You can do it on your own schedule, or try to catch up. We've also posted
all the exercises in advance in case anyone is feeling particularly like plunging on ahead.
