5×5 videos are great way to explore editing video. A simple set of creative limitations allows you to focus on the really important things in video; composition, structure and movement. Five videos of exactly five seconds in length are edited together to create a 25 second long video. The end result is a short digestible video clip that is easy to share and showcase your work as an image creator.
