I see. Well, in that case, I guess I shouldn't worry about my videos being too far out there. Besides, they're all already done and submitted anyway, so whatever will happen will happen.

Nice, that's good to know that I won't have to wait until the end of the year to find out what, if any, of my videos made it in if it takes more than a month to compile the final video.
Though, if SSGWNBTD has been reviewing (and accepting/discarding) videos as he's been receiving them over the summer, I don't see why it would take a long time to compile the final video. But then again, I can't say I've done what he's doing now either.
whiic wrote:Good! Then this one will be much better than Zero. I can't wait to see your entries.
As I am yours. I've created eight videos, a few of them after I posted that, and I really don't have any ideas left. I've just watched AMV Hell 0 recently and I've compared the majority of the videos in it to mine. Here's how I would rank mine against 0's in terms of "offensiveness", I guess you could say:
below: 0
same: 2
above: 4
way above (WARNING): 2
So, I can't say that all of them will be total shockers, but I think I do have a decent amount of "offensiveness" overall....maybe? (After editing, a few didn't turn out like I had imagined them before I started. But a few turned out better.)

Heh, with some of the stuff that I made, it pretty much confirmed to myself that I'm a closet sadist (and probably a masochist too - I'd take it either way) because I also enjoyed editing some of this stuff. If some of the videos get in that I'm thinking of, I would be extremely curious to know the reactions of the people that watched it.
whiic wrote:Div0 shall be EPIC in some way or another. It's inevitable.
I know, I'm very anxious for it to be released. Especially now since I've completed all of my videos and that the deadline is just a couple of days away. Not to mention read what other people have been submitting.
whiic wrote:I should re-edit Mikuru cobbing vid since it's lipsynch sucks.
Yeah, out of the eight videos I created, I only attempted to lipsync one of them. It works for awhile, but I really wasn't able to lipsync one part, which could be bad and hopefully isn't rejected because of it. A sound effect in the audio is also off by just a little bit too. I use VirtualDub for clipping, to change the speed of the video clips, and Windows Movie Maker as a GUIDE for creating the clips before I join them in VirtualDub. Lipsyncing this way is kind of hard. Would you be interested in seeing this clip, whiic? I'd like to have your input on it. (In a private message, I can give you the Sendspace.com URL I e-mailed when I submitted the video.)
whiic wrote:I have now made 18 clips....Anime Fiction, anyone?
18? Jesus. And yeah, I know what Anime Fiction is. "It might just be made in America by teenaged boys in start of their puberty" indeed.
whiic wrote:SSG, do you normalize audio on all entries? I have noticed I've forgot to normalize audio on one of mine I've already submitted.
Well, that was never mentioned in the first post, so I didn't normalize the audio in my videos. (I hope that's not a problem.) Besides, wouldn't you have to know what dB level to normalize to?
Also, this may be a little OCD, but I had a bit of a problem with the video duration of one of my videos. I created a video that's 30.16 seconds in length and if I try to cut it down any shorter, the song cuts in too fast or clips out too fast. The first post says
ssgwnbtd wrote:Video duration <= 30 seconds
There is a "=", and I'm assuming seconds are rounded to whole numbers? Will that 0.16 sec be a problem?
I'm assuming not, and I've already submitted the video, but I'd still like to know. That way, I can figure out a way to fix it and then resubmit the video.
