I've been playing around with the idea for a while now and it seems that this idea has merit. Since I haven't a clue as the what format to share this idea with you guys, I'm just gonna use the Op scoring format.
Originality: Counter-strike scenes mixed w/ anime (Probably only Evangelion, since it's teh only DVD i have) action scenes. My own remixed music, hopefully it doesn't kill me just to remix a song. This music video will be in the action catergory since it's teh easiest kind of music video to do. (Counter-strike = CS, for short.)
Capture/Output quality: Video qaulity's going to be around above average (6-7) since I have a limited harddrive (30 gigs).
Sound Quality: Music (Rammstein - Spieluhr) ripped from the cd (Mp3 format, so it doesn't take up too much space). Wav formats of Counter-strike/other sounds(death screams/explosions/voices). Experimenting with different sound remix software. <Suggestions for Remix software will be greatly appreciated!>
Action/Editing: Mostly, I'll be timing gun shots/voices with video scenes. Expect amateur editing at best.
Lip sync: Little to None. I have a few ideas about having some anime character's lip syncing to CS commands or taunts from other games but that will have to wait as I experiment.
Digital Effects: Little to none. I'm not using Premeire, just the freeware/shareware stuff for now. Saving money for the big thing.
Effort: BLood and guts will go into this (literally). Money isn't hard to get (I have an average student's pay job) but it'll decrease the amount of free time to work with the video.
Overall: Video has to look and sound very good because it's the most grand AMV idea I had ever since I knew of teh existence of AMV's.
Reviewable: It will be for most people....it's a hybrid action idea.
If this goes well and people download the video, it hopefully might start the trend for more people to actually remix their music. Why...if we get good enough with sound editing and creation, we might not not have to depend on teh Muisc industry for music anymore. We'll just create our own. (BIG Dream...)
Anyway, if you have suggestions on my idea or just owrds of encouragement, plz feel free to post them. Also, over the next several month's I might be posting new information on the progree of the video here on this thread and I might be asking some questions to. Check it out if you want to.
One more thing: I have around 1 minutes of picked scenes footage from Evangelion and currently the song is 4:46 minutes long. I have about 2 minutes worth of good CS footage, but I don't want to over do those because this music video is suppose to be *anime*.
I need another minute and 26 seconds worth of anime action footage. (20 seconds reserved for Intro & Ending). If you allow me to, I will use video scenes from your AMV. You get to pick which scenes I can use if you want. I won't use scenes with your digital effects or editing unless you also allow me to.
If I do use your AMV as a source (after getting your permission), I will note that in teh credits so that you will be recognized. Any anime footage is great. There's no need to stay within the Eva anime series.
Thank you for reading this LONG post and I do need your suggestions or thoughts on the video. They will be most appreciated.
<Progress: Searching for Music remix software/learning how to use them.>
