Oneira - The Dreamcatcher MEP

Postby mirkosp » Wed Jun 25, 2008 12:55 pm

Basically the idea of this MEP is making tracks based on dreams (oneira means "dreams" in greek, thanks to CtS for that :P ) that the editors involved made, so that the tracks will be telling the dreams.
In order to do so, simofc90 and I thought that the best way was to let the people interested into it be able to choose the song to use in their track, so things will be divided like this:

First people interested in the MEP send a PM to sim or me in which they say what the dream is about and make a post here with the song and anime(s) in which they are interested (multi-anime allowed). I think one month is enough for this part, but if we don't get enough people interested, we might delay. After this, the dreams that we will find interesting will be the ones used in the mep.
At this point, SSJ3 Son Jp will make a mix with the songs of the ideas that were considered good, and we'll be ready to go.
Beta deadlines will be every two months from that point: first beta should be long about 1/3 of the track, second 2/3 long and with the third you should be basically done. This means that you'll have around 6 months to complete your track, which should be fair enough, I think.

That said, this is the technical stuff, or whatever you want to call it:
- <b>Resolution</b>: 848x480 (crop and resize if it's 4:3)
- <b>Frame Rate</b>: 23.976 - 24fps
- <b>About anime</b>: Anything org-able
- <b>Betas</b> possibly in Xvid or x264/H264
- <b>Finals</b> in Lagarith or Huffyuv
- <b>Only DVD Quality</b> and remember to <b>de-interlace and filter</b>

One last thing: telling a dream trough an AMV can be rather hard, so join only if you think you can pull it off, since it requires a good storytelling as long as some confidence with effects.

People in so far:

- ArashinomeAMV
Anime: Advent Children
Artist: ???
Song: ???

WE NEED MORE PEOPLE! D:


Beta stuff will be handled through MSN or PM here on the org. I'm not a very big MSN user but sim is... anyway, here's the mails:
mirkosp: mirkosp@aliceposta.it
simofc90: simonetheskater@hotmail.it

Ok, that's all, now!

ok let's start this awesome project 8)

Mirk, I think we should allow multi-anime, though for making the dreams the most possible similar to the real ones

I think I could make something decent, but not quite there in terms of editing. Plus, I'm not really that good at telling dreams and stories, but this sounds interesting. I'm gonna keep a look at this. ^_^

Do we need to make the Video have a dreamy feel? or do we just have our track the same as one of our dreams?

I might be very interesting in this, but I'd like to see more commitment from other editors before I dedicate any time/effort into it. Plus, I'm kind of swamped at the moment. :O

You're kinda free on that... I guess the mood that would fit better is what you should go for. It does depend on the kind of dream, but I think just making the track the same as one of your dream is good.

I had a really weird dream, but all that happened was like talking and stuff with my friends, it was just about weird stuff... If I were to join this or whatever could I voice Reenact(sp?) it?

I guess it might work... this is probably going to be an "other" mep as genre, so it would be interesting stuff... the problem would be making the dub fit in the mix, you should try to see if you can use a song as well... but we can always discuss about that and see what would work.

well if I actually end up doing it, which is still a big maybe, you could just have it fade it from a slower scene, since it'll pretty much be like hearing a weird conversation :O

I believe coming up with something that resembles a dream is more suitable.. I personally doubt almost any dreams anyone could have could really be made in an amv, with an anime and song. Anime is limiting and so are most of the songs/sounds someone could use, not to mention dreams usually have to do something with a reality you won't be able to capture in video (especially with those limiting anime sources) or even explain to people that have nothing to do with that reality.

Take nerdstrudel's idea for example, he was probably talking about weird stuff with his friends, interesting shit must have happened for him but a depiction of all this in an amv would really doubtfully look even decent, and even if he somehow "got it", we "wouldn't get it". I hope I'm making this more clear than I think I am making it, but yeah..

Better if no dubbing is involved actually, it's better to stick with the "classical" anime music videos for that, since it could be kind distracting for people that don't know enligsh really well. But if the dialogue is interesting you could try something like making it with baloons - kind of manga style, maybe. ;)

I disagree. You can actually retell your dream in an amv if you have creativity and skills. If you don't think you can do it, then that's you, but I know for a fact alot of people can dream something then turn it into an amv.

not to mention dreams usually have to do something with a reality you won't be able to capture in video

I seriously hope you're talking about amving.
