The "Odd Pair" MEP [Interest Gauge]

Postby Immorrel » Mon Jul 23, 2007 7:24 pm

I've been mulling over a bunch of MEP ideas and have found one that I might actually be interested in starting up.

Here's how it goes:

Take any two people from Full Metal Panic and make a segment about their relationship. This doesn't have to be their actual relationship, just however someone wants to portray it as. So it can be as serious or funny as you want to go with it.

That's the bare bones of it, so what does everyone think?

Edit:

After some debate, here is where I stand with this idea.

Taking any boy/girl pair from the same anime and make a 30 second to 1 minute clip of their "relationship." Since any anime is going to be allowed, I'd like to not have two segments from the same anime. Music choice and content of segments should be orgable, and video should be DVD quality. As this is still just an interest gauge, this is still wide open for debate and change, but this is the basis that I'm going to run with for this MEP.

Why FMP?

I picked Full Metal Panic because I wanted to do something with it. But I wanted to do something that might actually interest more people than just the fans of it.

And no, any combination is free game. If enough people want to do it, I'll probably limit it to two people per pair. One as a serious segment and one as a funny one.

And nothing in this is final, I'm sure if other idea's come along, I'm sure I can see fit to adjust ;)

UGH!... I clicked this MEP cause I thought someone seriously was doing a free-edit romance MEP.... What a bust...

First of all... Limiting the MEP to only characters in FMP is retarded (though I got nothing against FMP). Second you havent given any rules or anything.

The only way this is gonna work if you broaden it. Like:
Rules:
1. Ok, there has been a yuri MEP and now there is a Yaoi MEP... So if you wanted yuri or yaoi too freaking bad you missed it. Guys + Girlz only.
2. Any song as long as it involves romance, even if its emo romance and yes thats possible (IE. Romeo and Juliet)
3. Any anime, but the chars have to be from the same anime and are a true pairing from that anime. For example: (Keiichi and Belldandy) NOT acceptable: (Keiichi and Skuld) There are some animes that have more then 1 true pairing though, they are the ones with love triangles. An easy example would be "Please Twins". In those cases you could use either character but they cant be used again. In the case of a Harem anime, you can use the guy and any girl obviously.
4. Chars cannot be used twice, no acceptions.

(This was a future MEP Idea i was going to do, those are just the basic rules I was going to use. I haven't dwelled on this MEP idea much yet.)

This is how you would claim:
Anime:
Characters:
Song:

Thats my input on this mep idea.. I'm extremely dissappointed with what I've seen though so far from your first post. Are you even sure you can manage to lead a MEP? If not I hope someone takes up this idea, I really wanted to do this but I'm allready managing a MEP and I dont want to take up more work then I can handle.

I didn't know he had gone ahead and done a thread for this until after he did it. But I will be helping him with this. And anyone who knows me knows I've been in enough MEPs to know how they work. So hopefully that answers leadership. As far as the back ground goes, he was originally wanting to do an FMP MEP. But then, after some thought, he thought an FMP romance MEP would be more fun and yield more interesting, creative results than just a straight FMP MEP. So if this gets morphed into anything other than what he is proposing, it will probably be an FMP MEP. But we'll see what happens.

Obviously, this is just an interest gauge and just throwing the idea out there. But as far as tentative guidelines and info goes, anyone can join, but if you can't turn in something decent, you will be cut. Any pairing can be used. (Canon, non-canon, yaoi, yuri, its all good.) Each pairing should only be used once, but I think he's willing to be lenient if your idea/aspect is that totally different from the other person. But the absolute limit is 2 per pairing. Not sure what he wants as a time limit, but most likely at least 30 seconds, but no more than 1 minute or minute and a half. DVD quality footage only. Not that its an issue for this, but it must be orgable. (Like no Evanescence, Seether or Creed for music, and no questionable fanart or doujinshi for content) As this is still in the planning stage, there is no deadline yet. And most of all, HAVE FUN!!! *^_^*

As for right now, if you do want to go ahead and reserve a pairing, feel free. But there are no official sign-ups yet until we know if this is going to be happening.

Not interested, but limiting an MEP like this to a single anime is laaaame.

Single Anime = Fail -_-'

If this had been an any anime relationship thing, I would have joined, but I failed to really enjoy full metal panic. Probably the same reason I don't fawn over militaristic type anime.

Come on guys. Making a normal relation ship MEP is either boring =/ I think it´s more challenging to make it with only one anime and only a few editors (five or so...).
With various or multiple animes it´s just interressting if you do crossover stuff.

Personally I think that this MEP would be a fail, because there isn´t enough footage for such a plan. If you would like to do something like this... Uhm make it as solo project. You could make a nice song mix and you would have bigger control over everything. A better storyboard etc.
Just a suggestion...

That's true I guess, but it was for the holidays. It wasn't strictly a romance MEP. There were many segments just showing tons of girls and guys having a blast at a beach or just about any other place or exchanging gifts. Don't get me wrong there were some good romance segments. I think a Romance MEP between TRUE PAIRINGS from animes would be cool.
