Anime Punch AMVRave

Postby rpb3000 » Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:37 pm

Hey, the name's Johnathan and I've been assigned to the job of AMV Coordinator for Anime Punch. One of the things we'd like to do requires a massive AMV. We want to have a standard con rave, but we want to connect it more to the anime that we're celebrating in a con. The idea is to have a HUGE mix of techno AMVs all strung together and projected onto the rave floor wall. Something like the AniMix Projects, only with full-length songs.

Anybody think this is a good idea and want to work on it?

Love the idea. If it takes off count me in.

Is the set already mixed? I have some songs I'd like to do anyway so it'd work out good.

Give us some more info on the BPM needed to maintain a good and funky flow, or as suggested earlier let us know if the music is already mixed.

The music set is not already mixed. As far as speed goes, well most techno works. It should be something like the NOW Dance mixes, if anyone's listened to any of those. Or the standard DDR songs. Prolly strive to be around the 120-150 BPM range, with a few slow songs and a few fast songs interspersed throughout for variety.

What'll happen between songs is a good question. We could prolly do flashing lights and add in bass beats to carry the beat through. Or a crossfade. A lot of it will prolly depend on how the song itself ends. What would be really cool is if we could find a way to carry the AMV through. Ideas?

Would you want us to submit track ideas, or take clips from a pre-mixed DJ arrangement? (I have some that are 70-120 minutes long.) One way would ease your transition and beat mixing duties somewhat, but the first would add variety.

Also, what's the timeframe you have on this?

(oh, I'm in, btw)

I would love to get in on this once i am back where my editing computer is. As the others asked, is there a pre-mixed set of songs you would want us to edit from or do we provide our own?

I'll do it if your music selection doesn't suck ass. [Using Tiesto, Paul Oakenfag, etc.]

Why don't you include already done AMVs for this one? I'm sure there's huge amount of ready-to-use AMVs to make a mix with, and I bet most of the editors would be willing to let you use their videos.

Ok, after some thinking and such, I give you: MORE CORN!!! ... uhm, I mean IDEAS! (Note: AMV Hell 0 really scares me. And yet it introduced me to Dokuro-chan. For that I am forever grateful *bows*)

So I've basically been told to run with this, but having no editing skillz myself I'm not exactly sure what all we'll need. The goal is to create something that's anywhere from 6-8 hrs long that can be projected onto walls and make people want to dance and scream and be happy and energized. Therefore the prevalent musical genre should be techno o'course, but any club remixes of songs could fit in, and maybe one disco tune just to be amusing. Anything upbeat could really work, from pop to rock to rap to country as well as techno, but I'd like the focus to be mostly techno so we don't scare people too far away. We want to scare them just enough that they'll stay for more ^_^

I'd rather shy away from already-made AMVs, just cause this should be something people have never seen before, but if we need more for time then they could be tossed in. I think it's prolly best if everyone works together so we can smooth out the tranisitions between songs to make it really professional and fun. That'd be better than crossfading or just carrying the beat through, I think.

I'll have to preview everything o'course, just to make sure it fits and such. And remember, it's a dance, so the prevaling theme should be fun. Keep it PG-13 or so and all should be good.

Thoughts?

Edit: Oh yeah, and the con itself is the weekend of April 1st, so we should prolly try to have this done by say mid-March.

6-8 hours? :shock: I'm assuming that you are planning on a loop, then... Or at least I hope you are... Even at 5:00 per track, a 3 hour loop would involve 36 or so videos.

As far as music goes, since you know the target audience, and how you'd like to mix it together, what if you come up with a playlist or mix, and the editors can select the tracks they would like to edit to. If someone comes up with a selection that isn't on your list, then you can review the song and place it into your list at your discretion.

That would also keep you from having duplicate songs/anime selections.

Just my 2 cents. ;)

A loop could be done if necessary, but it'd be much cooler to have them all be unique. Seeing as the average techno song tends to be longer than most other songs (usually from 7-15 mins), it's not quite as farfetched as it may seem (although it really is out there).

I can definately come up with some song suggestions, and even some song/anime combos if you'd all like. In fact, that's prolly a good idea. I'll compile some form of list and get back to you, prolly tomorrow. Meanwhile, keep the thoughtstream open ^_^

Your taste in trance is non-existent. Seriosly, what kind of a blind idiot hates the genios of Tiesto?

Sorry to say this but I think you are biting more than you can chew. Getting 6-8h worth of new techno-AMVs in less than 4 months.. requires a miracle.
