Does that 20-second AMV I made belong here?

Postby SovietJedi » Mon Jan 04, 2010 3:29 pm

I mean, it's a good AMV. Definitely not great, it doesn't have all the flashy editing techniques I know how to do now, but that's because it was the first AMV I ever made. And for my first attempt at making an AMV, it is good in its own right. It has alot of fast-paced clips which I stole from some of my favorite animes, and the songs synchs pretty well (at least I thought so). Really though, do you think I should put an AMV on here with a runtime of about 20-25 seconds simply as a demonstration of my skills at that point in my "career"? Would anyone actually download it?

Your help is appreciated.

Doesn't matter if people would download it. If it's a finished work and not a beta then it belongs here because the purpose of this site is to catalog all amvs.

I don't think there's length restrictions, only completeness restrictions. Shorts are okay. In fact a lot of people appreciate shorts. In fact some of my favourite videos could be easily counted as shorts.
Betas are not okay. While the notion of 'completeness' in making anything is debatable, it should at least be a demonstrable work. Also consider what you'll think later - there's way too many frivolous deletion requests out there on "oh my god delete my first videos they suck, I don't want to ruin my reputation".

If you think it's complete, put it up. If you don't think, or if you think it's more a basic skill-demo than a real video - well, your choice, but I'd recommend getting feedback on it through other channels, i.e. getting people to look at it and tell them what they think and how you could turn your stuff into something more releasable.

I have a few 30 second amvs that I've submitted to AWA's short attention span contest. I don't recall even thinking twice about uploading them to the org. If you feel that your amv is complete, then by all means upload it.

Thank you all. Especially Otohiko. :3

I've shown the AMV to several friends and they all liked it. Most of them were pretty amazed that I could throw something together like that. What little feedback it has gotten on YoūTūbe has been all positive. I'm not going to add anymore to the video, as it's pretty complete as is. Plus, I only want to use the beginning portion of the song for this video, so really I can't add to it. I'll "polish" it a little before it goes on this site, though.

What the heck, I guess putting it on this site wouldn't hurt. Thanks again.

Oh right the point of my post lol.

Basically what I'm saying is it's perfectly ok to post a short video so long as it's done. I've done it, it's still here.

There is no limit to how short a video can be. Proof:



Both of those are between one to two seconds long. If your video is complete, upload it, you'll be 20x to 25x longer than either of those.. As for downloading it, someone probably would.

To me an AMV must, at least,have some kind of concept. If not, some kind of "show". So, if it is a finished work, you could upload it, but it is quite better if it is, at least, more than a minute length. Some people might think you didn't put much effort to it, just because of it.
