Vid chatter

Hi Vidders!

The current challenge over @ vexercises is Vexercise 4: Lyrical Play. Have you done any of the challenges in this community? What did you like about them? What did you struggle with?

The call for vidders is open @ womansplace. ALL VIDDERS WELCOME - offers open until July 23rd, bidding will go up on July 24th. The community is also currently open for recs.
(Disclaimer: I'm the organizer over there, so it's a bit of a self-advertisement)


What is happening in your vidding corner of the world?

I did the vexercises in a previous round, and found it a good excuse to play around and try different things :) Although sometimes I was like, yup, I am never going to do that again (the lyrical play exercise being a case in point!) And it encouraged me to make more short vids too!

I am in a bit of a lull with vidding at the moment, although I have a range of barely started projects ... I just need to get to the point where something really grabs me.

Making short vids is freeing and frustrating all at once. I have at least two of them that I wanted more of the song to "make my point", but resisted it to stay in line with the challenge. I might cave and make them longer some day (but probably not). Freeing because it feels like I can actually put together a vid in a shorter amount of time, scratching the itch for something and moving on the next one.

Yeah, sometimes the "getting started" phase of vidding is that hardest.
