Which anime series would you think on using? Would it be something like an interconnected mass of existing AMVs? (I did a pretty good one for the Brave Sir Robin song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRHVfRH2rYM - this forum sure makes it embarrassing to link to anything from Y**tube, doesn't it?)

Yeah, but people do scenes because those are the funny parts. :? Has anyone ever done a Python song MEP? Though many of them have been done individually.

OOO!! that would be cool! Holy grail might be difficult to coordinate and make scan, but a Monty Python song MEP might be cool. I would so be in. *^_^* (Though I would probably join a just holy grail one too.)

I'd be interested in this, though songs from Spamalot might work better than the actual audio from the movie.

I don't think I would sit down and *watch* the whole movie as an AMV. An MEP of the music and perhaps some selected other scenes would be quite entertaining though.

While Spamalot undoubtedly has good music, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that more people are familiar with the film. I've never seen the musical (though I would love to!) and I don't know how accessible it would be.

I dunno, I'm trying to think of a single part of the movie that wasn't funny - I might need to watch the thing again just to make sure, but I don't really think this idea is too far-fetched.

suprsing replies. If i was to put everything together and make one massive movie out of it, this is how i would set it up.

1. divide out scenes
2. pick any anime to use for that scene
3. upload the finished scene to the server
4. combine the scenes into 1 movie

the problem i was suggested to me when i 1st brought this up years ago, is consistancy. mainly the quality of the anime used and quality of the voice. IMHO, the quality of the anime isnt 100% important because the orginal movie was very crappy quality(as long as the anime isnt all pixilated), it added to the movie.

i have never done a project like this before so i wouldn't know where or how to begin, so any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated.

if i was to pull off the audio from the remastered: Ultimate definitive final special edition DvD and chop up the 28 scenes (including beginning and end credits).
Here are the list of scenes in order(im going to start working on the audio and a place to host the scenes)

main titles / coconuts / plague village / constitutional peasants / the black knight / witch village / knights of the round table / god / french taunters / trojan rabbit / tale of sir robin / tale of sir galahad (castle antrax!) / scene 24 / knight who say ni / tale of sir lancelot / rescue of prince herbert / wedding guests / roger the shrubber / a herring / tim the enchanter / cave of caerbannog / holy hand grenade / black beast of Arrrrrghhh / bridge of death / the castle Arrrghhh / holy grail / prepare to attack / end of film

my suggestion would be to pick the scene and inform us of what anime you want to use. As i said before im open to suggestions and advice from the community, othen then the basic logistics, im not sure how to begin

If this does come to pass, I'd like to preemptively request the Rescue of Prince Herbert with Advent Children, if that's ok. ;)

To begin, basically, once you're ready, you can alter the first post of this thread and put up a list of the final requirements (apsect ratio, codecs, audio, etc) and all that lovely logistical stuff, the list of tracks with who's doing them and with what, deadlines, etc. Also put the links to the different tracks once you get them up. (probably not much need to have the entire mix up, since people can just pop the movie in for that. And I think most people who would sign up for this would know the movie pretty well.) Then people will know that they can offically sign up for tracks. Then just add them as they sign up. (And maybe once things get going, you can mark off who's turned in betas, who's done, etc.) This is also a good thread with advice for people running MEPs. Well, hope this does end up happening. It should be fun. :D

Well I'm not 100% sure if it's a good idea to have to use ALL of the audio, because doing complete scenes my not be entirely possible. I had an amv-hell-style idea for a part of a particular scene, but stretching it out to use the full audio in the scene may be a bit of a challenge. If there's any chance of cutting out even parts of the audio you provide that might go a long way. Basically I'm thinking it may be too ambitious, but then sometimes things that are too ambtious pan out just they way they are idended to despite everything.
So either way I think I'll give it a go and sign up regardless. I have ideas for two scenes actually.

Director: haunter103

Scene: Bridge of Death
Anime: Fate Stay Night (yeah, I know it's kind of like cheating, but it needs to be done)

and also, (but someone else can take it if they REALLY want it (or it's just one scene per person)):

Scene: Cave of Caerbannog
Anime: One Piece

Okay, maybe it's just me....but...

I wouldn't sit and watch this. Not only is it the ENTIRE movie, but using different animes....that would just be weird. I mean, one moment the Knights of Nii are the azumanga kids, and next thing it's the Naruto characters..I dunno. o.O It'd be way to random.....and usually random is a good thing. I like the idea of doing the songs though and then some sound clips from the movie...but the entire thing would just not be....I dunno. Regardless....I'll sign up anyways...just to see where and how far this MEP goes...if it falls into place.


I'll take the Nights who say Ni

Director: kikai_saigono
Scene: The Knights who say Ni
Anime: Still deciding...probably I'd like to try Azumanga....>>
