(This looked a lot more fluid on mobile)

The focus of the sketch was to use looping (which is applied to all micro videos uploaded on Vine) and the video composition to create an infinite loop.

This is using the structure to inform the narrative of the video (or non-narrative, more suitably). Videos shared on Vine have no restrictions in terms of narrative structure, story elements and the content (aside from the standard prohibitions of pornography, graphic violence, sensitive materials and plagiarism). They only restrict that videos shared are 6 seconds long and a Loop is automatically applied to the upload so it plays on repeat as long as someone is viewing the page it is on.

In this sketch I recorded my surroundings, in one take, while spinning in a circle. On Vine’s editing application I was able to cut the ending and beginning so that they were in progression with one another to create the loop. This idea of an infinite loop is a strong example of the non-linearity potential in online video narrative as there are no broadcast, commercial and timing restrictions like there are with traditional media.
