Took longer than I wanted to, but here's my next one. Let me know what you all think, and please let me know if anything is distracting or off and I'll try to fix it. The footage was limited for... er... plot reasons (;)) so hopefully the idea works. Please let me know if you have footage ideas or whatever that you think could be stronger as well, because I'm definitely open.



So nice to hear Steven parodied again :D Always wanted to use him as a source. That'll be a good one, a little long to reach its point, but that makes it all the better especially since you chose good footage and strong editing. Although my one suggestion would be to make him extremely proud about having herpes. Him looking confused about it wasn't quite as funny to me as if he were proudly declaring it to haruhi :D Especially after being all teary-eyed. But still wonderful :up:

Hearing that we have until the end of May as the initial deadline makes me so friggan relieved. I thought it was end of April. Not sure why... anyway, I've got more ideas and plenty will be done if that's the case. I have two potentials for an intro this year that I am starting to like. They may require a lot of footage searching and I'd need some help if I did them, but let me know what you think:

Intro Idea A) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVdTbiLku48 Batman Beyond intro with Mutsulini from Baka to Test in his ninja outfit going through similar motions as Batman does cutting together to some of the various more risque scenes from previous AMVS clips, and changing the words in the intro to various fetishes, then instead of "Batman" I do AMVS6. This is a pretty badass song, not to mention the nostalgia hit for many in the audience. A major thing I'd love to do is find footage of various female characters dancing for that scene in the middle and frame-by-frame them ^^

Intro Idea B) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7jY1KlLcPo Hard Rock Hallelujah from 2:25 to the end of that video using a lot of quick cuts with some effects and I was thinking Alucard singing, and the angels being from Ah Megami Sama and any number of things. Actually this one would be fun to do a collaboration of ideas, because I don't have a concrete idea, and if any of you have any inspiration on footage choices or who could sing and all that it would be fun to discuss and make something all of us had input in. Plus some of you can teach me how to do flame effects :P Plus I admit one reason I wanted to do this was I had an image when I listened a while back of during the end as AMVS would powerfully kind of explode in to the beat, there would be two ghost 6's so it'd be 666 for a moment for kicks.

I'll try to have another clip up next week.

And Shin, welcome! Please do make some clips, I look forward to seeing them. The more the merrier!

That was my mistake.
I dunno why I said the initial deadling is the end of May, either.
But remember that it's just the first call for final submissions.
The final deadline for entries actually is the end of May so we can begin post-production on the AMA beta (final test copy due June 13).
Then we hit the ground for the final push to a polished Otakon final, which should take no longer than a week to decide what may be better where along the time line and such.
And on that note, I'm working on locating the rest of the clips to add in to ReHeated.
I'll have something for y'all to look at by Monday...

that's a good idea, I can work with that.


did we have any further plans for a running gag? Ive got a few clips I'm working too.

Welcome Shinn! Please make some! I look forward to working with you ^_^

First, Gael...the latest clip really caught me off guard.
It's a joke grenade. ;)
Also, I honestly prefer the Batman idea for the intro out of those two.
The second one feels more like a closing theme somehow, with the credits overlaying scenes of anime characters rocking out (but this means foregoing production tags, which I'm not opposed to).

After watching the first half of K-On! first season I think I have a few ideas for clips myself.
Maybe not uproariously funny but at least amusing.
They're all really quick takes as well.

Look for a ReHeated tomorrow or Tuesday (depending on when I have to work)...

I disagree. I think it's too vague to register as a theme.

Intro Idea A) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVdTbiLku48 Batman Beyond ....

Intro Idea B) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7jY1KlLcPo Hard Rock Hallelujah ....



At about 0:16 the scene after "Man I'm pretty" seems like it may be coming a few frames late-- but it's a strong clip, Bravo's voice really works well w/Kamina.

I changed the "herpes" clip, and will upload a new beta once I improved the lip sync a bit more.

I also think the Batman audio would work better for an intro, though I don't know Baka no Test, so can't judge the idea as a whole.

That's why I thought it better to save it for next time.
It's too late to call out a theme this year and work around it.
I have a feeling 6 is gonna be a more general collection of clips.

even so the title of "Party Platter" would work for that too because party platters have all sorts of stuff ^_^

I had a really great idea for a clip but I don't think there are any medical/hospital type animes out there that would work :cry: but if anyone knows of one...let me know?

I sort of explained the premise behind the concept of "Party Platter" earlier.
Again, there needs to be time to compile such themed clips if it's to be used.
I'm stuck on a subheading for this year.

Rendering ReHeated now.
Added what clips I could find and fixed the video problem with some of the existing clips.
Clocked in at less than two seconds shy of a half-hour.
Once I get this thing re-encoded to something smaller and uploaded, I'll share it here.

Then it's off to work on a few clips of my own...

What type of scenes are you looking for? There are hospital scenes in Clannad, Dennou Coil, and a few others, but it really depends on what you're trying to go for. Plus with a little outside-the-box thinking you can possibly get away with using other stuff as a hospital. There are also hospital scenes in a lot of shounen anime after they get hurt, as well as other dramas like Clannad. There's several hospital scenes I'm aware of in Rumbling Hearts for example. A kind of lesser-known anime I'd guess, but it depends how much the reliance of your clip idea depends on people recognizing the footage.

I don't know the source, but in AMVHell 3 there was a clip to Weird Al's "Like A Surgeon" that you could look into and see if that works for you? Looked to be an older anime with a more detailed style, I'm sure the source is in the credits.

Hopefully that helps a bit.

New clip of mine in the works with most of the biggest problems solved. Yet again an assload of masking and some ridiculous effects that I'm retarded for trying and do and I will hopefully be done next week. I really am starting to look back very fondly on the times where I could be funny just using the footage and audio source -_- Then again, that was only really back in AMVS3... I think everything after that has required heavy lipsyncing at the very least.

Im looking for mainly an ambulance scene-with someone driving it. I forgot that Clannad had hospital scenes. I'll dig through that in a bit, I will also look into Dennou Coil and see where that AMV Hell clip footage came from. Thanks!

Driving an ambulance will be a tough one to find I think... I can't think of one. But Ambulance scenes in general, there is Excel Saga's first episode with a few shots, but I doubt that'll help much if you need driving shots.

Early Clips - I think I'm noticing where some of the issues are that I keep seeing. I thought this order might help, but unfortunately Bird is the Word and Head On are just too... I don't know... old to be that close to the beginning. They really feel out of place next to the quality of the earlier clips, because Bird is the Word just is not very well edited, and Head On is not really that much of a joke to me since it uses an obvious connection. It causes the whole thing to feel stilted really early on, so I personally think they need to switch places with a couple of better clips and go toward the middle.

Musical Clips - My original suggestion was a bit different than what you have now, but before labeling them all I didn't even notice they were a large cluster of musical ones. All the rest of the production has a decent smattering of musical to joke balance, but the beginning is all music, then all clips. I think this needs to be mixed up a bit because I start to notice the test pattern and get annoyed at it during the large cluster of shorter clips.

Ending - The ending clips are okay, but I believe we can take some of the better clips and put them there to end with a bang. Also... AMV Salad 7? You're forgetting, this is going to be playing during the Classic night on Friday, AMVS6 will be playing after this on Saturday. This'll just confuse people. Honestly, I'd say just leave it as "Stay Hungry" and then maybe scale up the footage and have it turn red gradually or something :D Like it's seeping into your brain. It'll keep things simple and unambiguous.

New Clip additions - I mentioned these before, I'd still like to see them in, and we have plenty of time:

AMVS4 - My FMA "Slap Chop" and Clannad "I don't wanna lose the house" clips I would like to see added. Clannad was badly placed in AMVS4 (plus nobody could hear it) so I'd like to try it more toward the center this time. And Slap Chop can go anywhere easily as another musical.
AMVS2 - I'll Be Watching You (This one can go almost anywhere, it's a great one)
AMVS3 - Gurren Lagann - On a Boat (Again, can go almost anywhere, AND guarantees a boost in audience energy)

Again, I did this really late, so I'm too tired to think coherently anymore about which clip goes where, I'll come back to it soon :) It should be pretty easy stuff. It's basically moving more of the older ones to the center I think.

As usual, took longer than expected:

davidkrein.net/ABTKTest.rar

I think I need someone to stand behind me whenever I come up with an idea that is based in a bunch of effects and hit me really, really hard.

Anyway, I'm going to try and crank out Captpan's 2 clips today and uprez them to 720. After that I'll try to tackle the Batman Beyond idea and see what footage is available.

Sorry Deuce... we're definitely going to the wire again this year... but what else is new!! :D

Also now that that's done I'll get back to Reheated and see what movements might work.
