It made me smirk while sitting behind my screen, that's not easily done, really liked it!

SammySamaProductions wrote:So I looked over the AMA schedule they posted and there's no listed time for AMV Salad 5. they have 4 being shown at 5 but the beta isn't on the list...and what's up with the scheduling this year? seems like somethings are in really wacky time slots....


Is there an update on this?

I don't like the feeling of it. There will probably be some people expecting the 'next' salad, only to be show last years. If it's not on the schedule... ?

Though the 'TV Dinner' title for salad 4 actually goes pretty well with the slot, Saturday 5 PM.


Hm wait, Salad 4 is set as a solid hour block ( 5 to 6 pm ), but it's about thirty minutes, just as salad 5 right? That means they can be shown after each other.

that's what I'm thinking. Though the schedule for this year is pretty crazy..I thought the salads were for older viewers...my only thought is we'll get littles in and cause a stir...

For clarification:
Every year at AMA, I list the current AMVS for the schedule.
I show the "beta" for the new one as a "reward" for surviving the closing credits.
The AMA showing is the beta audience to help us set up the Otakon premiere.

Glad you like it better. That version was closer to the original idea I had, the other one was just me jumping the gun a bit ^^

Here's a 720x480 DV with improved lipsync:

Wish I had more time to work on all this stuff... got one week to get several ideas done, one of which apparently won't work, so I lost time trying to make it work.

Also, shouldn't people be looking for guys walking away from explosion footage for the credits? I know moonbunnychan's got several adjustments to work on, and I'm trying to get these clips done. Can anyone else start looking for some? We shouldn't need too many to make it work, but the more the better.

There's a good one during the first 15 minutes or so of Cowboy Bebop: the Movie.
There may be another but the one I'm thinking of is the first I thought of.
I'll rip and add it.

I had a look at the AMVS5 folder.
Out of curiosity I counted the clips I have for this year.
Total stands at 87!

Of course, due to time restraints (limiting to half-hour) and strengthening the comedic value and overall flow, there will be a few cuts here and there.
I'm taking the previous notes into consideration.
But to anyone who hasn't weighed in, please list the ones you think we can sacrifice (at least for now).
Everyone else, finish what you got and send them in.
Gael, I know you got some goodies in the oven so you're accounted for. ;)
I have a piece or two to finish too...

You should have all my clips except for the newest explosion clip (posted above) and another I'm working on now which should be in your box by the morning.

I had asked earlier if there was going to be a release of all the clips collected to get a good read on what should be cut. I think if we can get all of them on a reel and just see which ones work the best that would make the cutting process much easier. Just a thought though.

Agreed. But for the love of god, please don't make it a gig this time ^^

Now as for clips to be sacrificed to the great comedy god (Went back and re-watched the test sent out) here's what I came up with. Now there is no offense intended to ANY of the editors who made these clips, I personally thought most of them were VERY EPIC but in keeping with time constraints here is my opinion.

Clips I think SHOULDN'T be cut:
-The McDonald's commercial with Hetalia. I would however request that the audio be raised at the end or throughout. It gets kind of hard to hear and I can only imagine with a room full of people will do.
-I agree with the general opinions of the Tuna clip. It honestly did it for me being the length it was but I can understand how time is an issue and it could very well be just as effective if trimmed.

Okay now I know most people get the majority of the jokes with this years Salad but there were some that I was just out of the loop for and as such didn't find some clips as funny as others. But I hope that my opinion will help make the project better for those who, like me don't get some of the jokes.

Clips to be cut:
-Please cut the "I can't believe it's not butter" clip I sent you. If we want to use it next year I'll clean it up ^_^.
-The She-ra clip although I thought was VERY clever I agree with the thoughts of cutting it, if for nothing else time sake.
-The 4chan lines, Like I said before I really don't get most of them but perhaps just using the first one would be enough? the rest go by way too fast to read IMO.
-The Lazytown clip if the sync isn't corrected. It was a very good idea but it does need some work with cleaning it up a bit.
-The pneumonia's clip needs to be trimmed or other wise cut. Although is it VERY COMICAL it really doesn't relate to the anime at all. I would be all for keeping it if it was trimmed though.
-The Sailor Moon/Frog Princess clip I think should be considered.
-Gundam Gay clip, the lip sync should be tightened up a bit.

I hope my opinion doesn't offend anyone but that's just what I think.

Okay so I saw this scene and thought it would be a shame not to use it ;) I figure the explosion needs to be changed out but let me know if this idea is worth pursuing....

I liked it, though the explosion seemed a bit short / cut off.
It might work well with the transition video used in the salad itself (coming right after it so it seems less cut off), dunno.

Deuce, you should now have all the clips I've put together. If u have an extra explosion and wish to replace the explosion on the last on I sent you then please do. Will there be a new beta release soon? And is there anything else you need from me?
