How long do you spend making an AMV?

Post by M1r » Wed Oct 15, 2008 6:05 pm

Roughly how long does it take you to make an AMV? And how many hours [excluding intervals] do you think should be put in a AMV?

it depends on how complex the idea is... can take anywhere from a few hours to several months

Not all projects are equal. A computed average isn't exactly getting you anywhere when the points are so varied. Telling you I average 150 or so hours isn't going to be statistically significant when that comes from a couple of short (<20 hour) projects, a mammoth one that took over 300 hours, and 2 that were done between 50 and 80.

I swear this thread is on the first 2 pages here too...

As long as it takes to look right. That can be a couple hours for a simple video, to several hundred for an extremely complex one.

There's no hard and fast rule, and everyone's style will require slightly different amounts of time.

Bull crap.

Unless someone can prove me wrong... Who has spent 100 hours in only 2-3 weeks?

In only 2-3 weeks? O.o

I'm saying that 100 hours is a lot to spend in only 2-3 weeks...

(It's so fun to mess with you).

Not really, and stop messing with me =| 100 hours is not alot in my opinion at all. If you are really trying to make it beyond your reach it will probably take you that long O:
