I think the person editing has the right to ask for a different song if they have nothing that would work well with it.

I think that that should be the challenge here, not the problem. Everything can 'fit' to everything.

I am kind of for broadening the available/possible sources to use though, meaning we should be able to use non-anime footage if it would be the most fitting for our given audio source (shouldn't be a problem for the MEP to still be orgable since most part would still turn out to be anime). Also the technical details shouldn't be too strict because that'd just restrict us to only being able to use what anime we got on DVD which is most of the time a lot less than what we could use as source overall.

A challenge AND a chance to be a dick to other editors? 0.o Sounds perfect for the org.

I know what you mean about having more time when school starts, this summer's a bitch. I can see this is happening though, and I'll play along (sounds fun), but only if it doesn't start for a couple of months.

Do it!

All the best ideas happen in the shower :amv:

If you need a spot filled - this sounds pretty cool, and 30 seconds I can manage (I hope) - I'm in.

x3 I have a nice idea on how to make someone's life hell.. id definetly be interested

Yeah, that's great guys, and I don't want to dissuade you from wanting to join, but you seem to be missing the point here. In order to choose a song for someone else, you have to edit something yourself - so make sure you're ready to edit absolutely anything. If your sole purpose for joining is to screw over someone else, or just to give someone a really obscure track, do not join.

I agree with Ingow. If you get creative enough, you can make anything fit to any musical source, and anyway that's the risk you'd take by joining. I'm not sure about live-action - there'd have to be a limit to how many people could do that, since I couldn't have everyone copping out and using LA if their track doesn't suit them.

I suppose, though, if someone absolutely thinks they cannot make any anime they have fit with a musical source, they could take a mulligan. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, and if you want to sign up it's much better that you have a wide range of anime to use so this WON'T happen.

I have considered this, and I agree with the fact that it probably won't be a seamless mix. But due to the nature of the project, I don't think every song HAS to flow into the next. I think there could be silent segments in between each video to introduce the editor, song choice, and who chose the song to set up each video. Or I could have each editor create an intro for their video, etc.

:/ I don't know about this. When all is said and done I want every source to be DVD-quality; if this means taking downloaded footage and filtering it enough so that I can't tell the difference, fine, but I will absolutely not allow fansubs, low-res crap...I care about the visual quality and I strongly, STRONGLY urge you to rip straight from DVDs.

I like this idea. Deepending on who signs up and what sort of music gets thrown in, this could be an interesting project (or a nightmare ["what, I have to edit to Orthrelm? Aaagh!]). But I'm always up for a challenge. If you start this up, I'd love to join.

While I love the idea, Sky, this is a definite "no" for my editing abilities. I only own, like... six anime. XD (I do have several dozen videogames, though...) Besides, I swear it takes me a month to edit ten seconds. I could never manage thirty in two weeks. (Yes, I realize how pathetic that sounds.)

Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and say that if this project goes well, I'm definitely looking forward to watching it. It's interesting to see what people do when they're taken out of their musical element... like with the Iron Chef competitions, you know?

Good luck!

Yea, I realize that. I'm not joining simply to give somebody a bad track, I'm simply in this to make this a unique MEP. I've been working in several MEP's right now in several different genre's in music. I've also got a wide vareity of anime, which would hopefully help me out on this.
