i'd say the hardest type of video to make is all one anime when you only have a few clips from that one but don't know it's not enough until after you start, i did that once i had to reuse clips, pissed me off.

but if your talking like you got everything you need but dificulty in matching everything else i'de have to say a good comedy video i only attempted it once or twice and didn't even finish them

that would be making one using a DVD with only still shots.

think one doesn't exist? check out Phantom of Inferno. the story kicks major ass but unfortuantely there is NO full motion video on it. what's more surprising is that i am the only person in the world that knows about it.

i'm trying to make a vid as i type this incorporating only stills. of course im gonna have to be REALLY creative with those digital effects in order to pull it off.

click the link below in my sig if you want to learn more about it. warning: you'll need a japanese language browser integration. don't worry if u wanna get it. it's in the US now, just that the marketing and advertisment for it was REALLY bad.

Using only stills is a royal pain. I did a silly one and I think the only reason I was able to finish was because the song was short and only had 2 parts: piano and vocal. Although using stills from a dvd might actually be easier than what I did -spent a bloody good while chasing blind links.

Comedy

I'd have to say comedy. At least those are the hardest to watch be shown in a contest. Since making someone laugh is harder than making someone ooo00oO0o0oOO()o0o0 ad ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. And you can't pick a song and randomly have a comedy video. Even, though, I've seen some pretty random ones ::COUGH::XStylus::COUGH:: ^.^

how about ones with the video unedited. for example: how about an AMV with asuka's last stand. (i've seen many for this secene in EoE, and thy're not too bad...) but try to make a really excellent one, i tried to do that with my kingdom hearts AMV.

To me there is no hard video I could probably do any genre video good but I can only do it if a have a visision of it if i dont I cant make the video. I have to be in love with the anime and have the visision of the video before i even make a video. with that gif video i made i didnt have a visision and you all know how that turned out... im sad now...

Hardest amv... hmm... probably using stills. My friend and I had done a mv containing over 60% mangascans... It sucked. We learned that we should've added more motions on all the images and appear for no longer than 2sec/img & follow the beat otherwise it'd look very dull.

Actually, I find any video can be hard to make depending on how high you set your goals and standards when you begin. If you envision something in your head as to how you want it to look like, sometimes that alone makes the work to achieve that goal hard. I myself usually envision something that is hard to reproduce in reality.

Ummm...you did? That's a vid I am usually embarrassed to show anyone. It's only the third one I ever made, and even though it was my first prize winner, it's still...boring? Maybe I've watched it too often.

The video was basically an editing exercise. <Note for newbies> The same way a school teacher makes you write the answers to a hundred multiplications, or when sensei Miyagi makes you wash his car ("Wax on, wax off."), this video was how I learned to time clips. The act of timing is easy enough. But by placing a few hundred stills to short beats, the process becomes a habit, and your eye and ear are trained to know when it's right. At least, that's the goal. </end of tonight's lesson :)>

(I won't mention what a pain in the --- it is to collect all those stills.)
