I'm happy with that. My clips weren't supposed to be funny, just entertaining :)

Re: AMV Salad 4: TV Dinner (Premiere at OTAKON!)

BTW...I heard back from Otakon.

At the moment they are looking for shorter-running projects to lend more time for newer submissions. Also, they are reserving Friday night for new videos and Saturday night for the older / classic ones.

To wit, the likelihood is remote that we'll have the continuous AMVS3 & 4 shown at Otakon (which was expected). So it looks like AMVS4 will be shown Friday night and AMVS3 on Saturday. At least we'll be represented on both nights.

My theory is they're thinking no fewer people will be present to view parodies on either night since Otakon only sells weekend badges and the majority of attendees will already be there Friday. Whatever the case, we're on for an Otakon world premiere...

Oh well, that may be a good thing to have one each night ^^

Either way, some reactions surprised me. How many people were in the room? Did we end up having to use the second beta, or did you make a new one? Unfortunately less ROFLs than I'd hoped. Could that potentially be increased by moving things around due to overlapping laughter based on your experience of it?

And what is 'Egg?' Is that new?

The Naruto one at least should remove the monitor from it I believe. I still don't think 'deleted' helps honestly, but if nothing else the monitor's the most distracting element from it. Hopefully you watched the reaction, whether it hit as soon as Naruto hit the screen, or if 'deleted' helped or not. Now you have some live reaction to gauge some clips' effectiveness.

I'll assume the :lol: represents a wider range of laughter and :rofl: is a bit more deafening based on the Otakon AMVS3 audience I watched with ^^ So did any of the clips get any reactions that were unexpected and need another look or something?

Also, I wanted to finally get you the credits if you haven't already done them. I'll just post them here:

I'm guessing the awws were to the longer version, since it has a kind of "aw" ending? If so...I mean...I'll leave it totally up to everybody what version to use. The short one gets the point across faster but if the long one got awws it may be worth keeping or maybe cutting out the middle bit to keep the ending. Whatever you wanna do with it you've got my permission.

And wow, Friday night for new stuff, that's interesting. Seems kinda backwards from the norm.

That's a good thing to keep in mind...just because something doesn't get a gut busting laugh doesn't mean people aren't enjoying it.

Actually, I did a quick hack & slash job on the second beta. I cut the Ducky video to its intended length, removed my "intended" clip because I'll never finish it, and added a few new clips. I didn't have time to do any extensive rearrangement of order but things should look different with the next one.

And "Egg" is a new Geico commercial submitted by CMP.

Yeah, Friday for the new stuff is quite strange. I know that most people are there by the end of Friday, but that's still not the greatest influx of people. Oh well, Friday's much more prevalent than it was 5 years ago, that's for sure. Hopefully they put AMVS4 up front though, because I really am nervous when they say 'new stuff' because most of it sucks. The only amusing new one in recent memory other than AMVS was the Withc Hunter Robin fanparody that I've wanted to see since then, but it never came back and I haven't found it anywhere. I don't even know who made it to ask them to resubmit it!

Either way, as long as AMVS starts it off, we're golden. It's a shorter one, so that should be the case. Hopefully you can ask them for that Deuce ^^

How many new ones do we have? I'm still trying to see if I can finish one last one that got me really inspired and shark it in if I can complete it by the 20th, since the 25th is the cutoff if I remember correctly. It should be a quick one but only if the idea works which I haven't determined if it will. I'll let you all decide if it's good enough if I manage it.

I'm more then ok with "awws".

Speaking of schedules though, do they let you know beforehand what time stuff plays? I really want my friends to come see it but don't think they'd be willing to sit through like an hour of other people's stuff. Looking at last year's schedule it just says "fan parodies".
(and I'm still a touch worried about it getting pushed back to crazy o' clock due to the pretty liberal use of F-bombs).

Previous years you could find a more definite scheduling on the boards I think after the parody cutoff. But other than that, you can always find out the REAL fanparody schedule by going to the help desk on Friday. They have a list that you can't take with you, but you can jot down the important stuff. I honestly think it would be hypocritical to push it back due to language. I know routinely most parodies don't swear too much, but as filled with it as the Sony POS clip is, the onion clip really is pretty tastefully done I felt. Last year there was some swears in AMVS3 as well. I mean really as long as it's with a real purpose, it'd be hard to argue that just because there are MORE that it's somehow worse.

Worse hypocrisy has been done, though, so I understand your worries. Hopefully Deuce can smooth it out if there are any troubles with it. If there IS an issue, I have a BUNCH of cartoon sound effects that I can attempt to censor it with ala Lunar Outtakes style, but I'd prefer not to let censorship ruin comedy if we can get away with it.

Last year, somewhere in the program book (or was it the pocket guide?) there was a schedule of what they were showing and the approximate times. Since parodies begin at 10pm, it's considered "after hours" and no one under 13 will be there that late. ;) Keep an eye on the schedule when it's posted. I'm sure they won't push us back that far.

Deuce, sent you a quick rerender of the Sony POS clip. Something was bothering me about the final version of the first shot. It was very pixelated and looked horrible. I checked with the guy who did it and he'd forgotten something, so I did a quick rerender. Even if it's so fast nobody ever notices, it's still the first thing they'll see, so may as well make it crisp.

I also increased the size of the font on the screen with "Password unaccesptable, please kill yourself" so it's more noticeable in the mp4 renders.

If anyone notices any other issues in any of my clips, even minor stuff, now's the time for me to fix them.

Who created the Gurren Rock video?
I need everything you submitted resent to me ASAP!

And who sent me the clip labeled "Test2" ("...the other white meat")?
I need the info on that one.

krvabo: I need the AUDIO file for your "Predator" clip.

Aside from the Gurren Rock video, Jackass, Side Boob Hour, Ace of Cakes and Bomberman are missing. I need those ASAP!

Thanks...

Oh, hehe, Test2 was me ^^ Did you like that one enough to want to use it? If so I'll go over it again and balance the sound and correct any sync issues and get you a DV version for better quality later tonight. Info is:

Comedy Central Presents: Steve McGrew
Fullmetal Alchemist

If you can think of a more fun title than 'White Meat' go ahead.
