How Many/How much time

Postby -ssj2gohan- » Mon Dec 16, 2002 11:11 pm

Hey, I was just wondering about how long some people spend to make an M.V.? and How many have you made? I have only made about 15 and the most I have spent is probably about 50 hours over a course of 2 weeks or so.

However long it takes is how long it takes. When it is done, it is done. Until then, it isn't. That's how I look at it. I don't worry about how long I spent making the damn thing; I just focus on making it.

I'm working on my 15th AMV as of now and the average AMV in editing time will take me between 30 and 75 hours and you can add in another ten hours for the planning.

The fastest I've made a video is 3 hours. 3 very intense hours, and the video had only stright cuts. Nothing fancy. My current project... Well it's taking me FOREVER to do. I've spent hours and hours, and only 1/3rd of the way through it. Then it's heavy on effects.

I can make a decent video in apx. 2 weeks, but that means two weeks of atleast 6 hrs per day, and weekdays with atleast 2 hours per day. So 44 hrs. So around 50 hours is average for a decent video.

Shin Hats tracks video statistics in several categories, so here's the averages from a sample of 45 (of 62 total, but demos don't count, and a few others slipped through the cracks):

the average SH video is about 4:10 long;

incorporates 85 cuts;

and took 37 hours from start of initial capture to completion of final full-quality build.

ranges:
time from 1:00 to 9:04;
cuts from 19 to 177;
and production time from 9 to 157 hours.

average production pace:
3.32 videos per month, for a rounded pace of 39 VPY. (Don't try this at home.)

These statistics should not be taken as relevant for anyone else, as SH production is done in MPEG2 using a nonstandard editor, and real-time drafted rather than storyboarded, with a severely and intentionally limited selection of effects, most of which do not require significant processing time.

Well, I've made about 25 videos, but most of them were crappy DBZ vids set to some random song, so they are not available.

The longest I have spent on a video is 80 hours including about a 10 hour ripping time over June to Sept this past year.
