My last one. Took 80 hours or so of work, from ripping my source over 6 times to finishing the internet distro release, took 80 hours over a set timespan of May to September.

Hmmm... good question.

...thinking...

Actually I think most of them were made in 2-3 weeks. ... and some were done in just a few days... or less than 10 hours even!

The funny thing is that I am betting people couldn't guess those that took a long time from those made in only 1-3 days....

Usually what makes me spend more time on a video is not an effect (since they are a lot of fun to do so I work through them at a quick pace), but the length of the song.
I have sinned. I made a video I wanted to make that was music + anime + sync + action + effects/transitions. Oh lordy. :roll:

Well let me take a wild stab in the dark. Was Sould of rage and sorrow one of your longer vids to make? :)

"Flights of Fancy", which was 350 hours of work spread out over two months. The result is a confusing mishmash of angst and armchair philosophizing.

My longest? Well, I haven't made it yet. It's still in progress. I started my current video project around the end of last month, and I estimate to be done around February. Usually I finish a video in 1-3 weeks, so this is already the longest I've spent on a video so far.

But my project isn't half so crazy as my sister's. Sierra Lorna expects to take at least another year on the one she's making. I can see why. Her project is, simply put, pretty insane. :)

"Not another One!" took around 50 hours start to finish, due to the lip-synching, and if you look closely you can see in the last scene I worked on ("We've always done our own cheers") the point where I just said Fuck It and went on with it... I'll probably remaster that someday...

Well, my first "AMV" was nothing more than a week of screwing around in Premiere with Evangelion footage and a Weird Al Song trying to figure out how everything worked. Since I downloaded Premiere 6 off Kazaa, I had to figure it out through trial and error. Lots of error.

My first full AMV (the one in my .org profile) was a solid month of editing. I'd say my best estimate was around 150-200 hours.

My Akira video, The Last Laugh, took about 1.5 months to complete. I could have finished it sooner but I went on vacation for a week, plus school was just starting.

You'll laugh at this but the worlds strongest took 5 months to make (with a summer vacation inbetween) whereas Technoshock only took 3 months.

Techno shock is great. i really like it.


My longest vid isn't done yet. The time it takes me to make a vid is kinda messed up cause i am only able to edit 2 weeks out of a month. In about a month or more i have only done the first 39 seconds of Loving a Vampire and still have another 4:11 to go.

My shortest vid to make was probably Gohan V.S. Cell Jr.s (aka EXperiments in instrumentals: the remix) tht was in WMM

my shortest vid in premiere so far is Obsession...did it in about 7 hours yesterday.. i need to go back and fix the lip synch and some general errors(extra frames, bad action synch, etc.)

"Service With a Smile" took about a month to make and maybe 50-60 hours of editing, mostly due to learning the in's and out's of Premiere.
