Hi all! Wow, it looks like from the response to the tech post so far that we have a lot of people coming with experience with all sorts of technologies! I think that’s so cool — how we all use so many different tools to create this form.

If you’re totally new, I hope it doesn’t seem overwhelming though! Please don’t be shy to ask which might be the simplest way to start, or the best tool for whatever system you’re working on. The vexercises were originally designed with people totally new to vidding/editing in mind, so please feel welcome and free to ask any questions at all! :)

Hello Vexercise folks old & new! Lola and I have been discussing getting a new round going for Spring and we have decided that now is the time for Vexercises 3.0!

This round will consist of seven vexercises, including the free vid, with two weeks to complete each one (technically! Please see below regarding our “due dates” policy) There will be a choice for most of the rounds, generally drawing on the O.G/2.0 Vexercises with some tweaks here and there.

Logistics:
 
The way this works is: We drop a vexercise every two weeks on Sunday, with some explanation around it and examples. Feel free to ask questions or to share examples of vids that are in the vein of a particular challenge, or relevant resources in that post. We want this to be a collaborative space :)

A week later on the Saturday we'll make a check in post to see how everyone is doing. And the following Saturday, the vexercise will be "due." Then, the next day (Sunday) we'll drop the next vexercise, and follow the same two-week cycle!

Quick note on due dates and rules:
 
Due dates are always as firm or as flexible as you need them to be for your creative process and/or RL schedule. And that goes for pretty much anything re: the vexercises, including the "rules" of each vexercise, even the one minute length. You can take them as iron clad if that helps you, or you can approach them as more flexible guidelines if you'd rather.

We’ll be dropping the first vexercise next Sunday May 29th, which means it will be "due" on Saturday June 11th with the next one dropping June 12th. For now, please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments and let us know what source you might be wanting to play with (if you have decided! If not, feel free just to say hi or ask any questions you might have!)

Welcome!

 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. 

Loose initial schedule, (edited 3/22):

March 17th: First exercise drops!
March 22nd: Check in!
March 28th: First exercise due! (For those of you who need firm due dates, this is very firm!! (For those of you who don't, it's not... :D)
March 29th: Second exercise drops
April 5th: Check in!
April 11th: Second exercise due!
April 12th: Third exercise drops

... and so on :) We'll see how this schedule goes for the first month and then go from there
