This entire idea seems over the top. It quit simply the craziest idea I have ever heard... which is exactly why it could turn out so cool. Do it, or if you can't start a group project (do I feel Mission: Improbable: Multiple Screens coming on :lol: )

I'm not too sure if it'll go well if multiple people are working on this, mainly because I was thinking that the left and right hand screens would be symmetrically synced... err.. or something like that, so it would be pretty hard to coordinate that.

My sugggestion is to try some samples and see how it works before dicussing it too much. I've done a lot of radical concepts in some of my videos that I thought would never but worked out even better in the end.

My suggestion is don't put yourself down and convince yourself here that it woun't work. Just do it and see! Part of the fun of AMVs is to learn new things by doing them. And don't let something like just because the concept of multiple screen been done stopping you with using a new idea with it....

Hmm... I think that could be pretty amazing. Now the way I see it, is all videos would be synced with eachother as well, but still playing something different. Kinda what you were thinking, Koop? I think this could work, but it would be best to have one screen with one central-focus video, and the others would complement that one. Similar to choreography in dance, but this is with video.

I don't know if that's what you were thinking... :?

Actually, the main purpose of starting the thread was to see if the idea was done before just so I could see it and see how it was done and such. It won't stop me from doing the idea, but since I'm just at a pre-planning stage right now (I don't have a multiple screen setup), I just wanted to get a feel for what I was going to get myself into. Anyways, I'm not consciously putting myself down, matybe its a bad habit. :|

Ya, I was leaning toward having that 'centrally-focused' video. But rather than complement the central video, ie: showing either a counterpart or similar things as the central video, the two tangent videos would be symmetrical to each other while also supporting the main central video. It would be as if each video could work independently, but it wouldn't have as great an impact as they were all connected. (kinda like voltron, hehe) Hopefully I'll start the idea soon, but it'll be awhile before it gets completed. Thanks for the responses people. :D

yeah I was going to mention your CRAPPY video there, but it's SOOOOO CRAPPY, I just didn't want anyone to CRAP their pants over such a CRAPPY video as you would make with your CRAPPY editing skills.

So like totally :roll: :roll: :roll:

klinky, I went over this with Machine. The video I was thinking of needs three physical screens for it to work, not just the three small video screens he had on Alternate Reality.

Err that sounds kind of odd :O

I don't think it would work :O

People would get distracted.

The same effect could be done with a wide res ^_^ video :p, but guess you could do it on three monitors.

It's just, the point ? Not many people have two monitors much less three :O

You could easily just download three amvs to the same song and play them all that the same time to get kind of the effect. I guess yours would play off of each other more.

Okay, plus that's three times the editing. 3minute AMV would require 9minutes of footage. It's just not worth it and people would get annoyed with which screen they should be looking at :p

Hmm I don't know :O

why not just make it vaery wide ie. 1600x320 pixels?

then anyone can watch it, and if you got three screens, itl work exactly how you said...

what's cool about a video like this is say you have a blank screen and a character comes racing in through the elft and off the right, but the background stays stationary. You can have them jump from one screen to the next. You've all seent he gigantic display setups, like at best buy with several flat widescreen t.v.s all hooked together. They all have the same image and move freely from one screen to the other making it all one screen in a way. Just think of it like if you seperated some of those screens and put a gap inbetween them, that's what it'd be like with three screens. But when something moves to far left you'd expect to see it come to the next screen to the right. And then there's the same thing on screen's 1 and 3 in a 1 2 3 setup, complimenting screen 2 in the middle. Like if anyones ever seen sailor moon I'm sure you have, sailor moon takes a long ass time to transform. You could put sailor moon in the middle and have all of the other sailor scouts transforming together on the two other screens. Since theyc an all transform in the time it takes sailor moon to transform once. That'd be pretty cool looking, and it's why it's worth making a vidoe like this. You guys are all saying why waste your time, but this would be bad ass, and anyone that did it succsesfully would surley make a name for themselves.

Problem with the idea is not many people have even two monitors, much less three.

I've been begging my dad to get me a PCI video card and a second monitor since the beginning of summer, but we're not rich. Of course, I saw the Matrox Parhelia 512 128MB AGP, and I was drolling...3 monitor support, but the the $$$. $200 per monitor, so if you want two more 17" monitors, that's $400 (At least where I get my monitors, a 17" is $200), and then $380-400 for the actual card. Dual DVI-I and one VGA/CRT plug, I believe. Wait, maybe it was one DVI-I and one VGA/CRT, and it came with a dual-ataptor for both the DVI-I and the VGA. Or it only came with one dual-adaptor. I don't remember, and I don't feel like going to the Matrox site and finding the card just to look for the specs.

And anyways, I don't have the room for 3 monitors, I barely have room for two... :(
