New Iron Chef(ish) Idea

Postby SQ » Sun Oct 26, 2003 5:27 pm

This MIGHT belong in Generall off topic, but I don't know, it seemed to fit here well...

Anyway, this is kind of awkward, but I think it would be fun.

You get however many contestants you want to listen to a song. Any song. Make sure it's really quiet.
Now here's the hard part-- The only get to hear it once.

Now you sit them all at computers, give them footage, and tell them to make a music video to that song.

Catch is, you just heard the song. You can't put it on your timeline. All your cues have to be done from memory.

Good luck.

... This was an idea I had close to the creation of my Iron chef/expo thread.
I finally decided to see if anyone would be interested, or what their thoughts on doing something like this would be like.

So... Thoughts?

That's freakin' insane. I'd never do it.

The way I like it now is fine :). We get to bring our own music :).

Well, I don't mean ditch Iron chef and do this. I just mean as another AMV-like contest.

There's too many contests of "Watch this and see whats best" compared to "make an AMV right here and see what's best"

There needs to be more on-the-spot stuff.

Editors getting embarrassed and stressed out is fun to watch. =p

Yeah, but then you'd lose all the editor who'd want to do it.

Iron Chef is already stressful enough. I'm sure Hsien, Tim, Justin or Ian would all agree with me there.

And as for Iron Chef, it's at 3 cons which is pretty good ;)

Sounds quite impossible... I not too sure how amny people can memorize beats and timming from listening to a song once.. I think this just wouldn't work at all....

I thought it'd be funny to an editor crowd. Thinking of all the mistakes a person can make, I'd be laughing my ass of.


... Unless you made me a contestant. Which would be fun to do, but let's just say I wouldn't be laughing... :shock:

We play ghetto rules smiliar like that when we do Iron Chef locally. The group picks the song before the contestants know and they get to choose whatever anime is available. Makes for some stressful but fun situations. :P

But I'm assuming the audience is editors from the org.
I think they'd find it funny...

Fate eh?

Then again you're like undefeated in these "street" battles :roll: so...hmmm....

Perhaps one con when I'm not busy or tired...that's a rarity, but I'm sure it'll come eventually :)

I guess I'm getting off easy :-P
