AMV for my best friend.

Postby MissxXxBroken » Wed May 19, 2010 2:45 am

Well, hello there.
I'd like to have your suggestions about an AMV I'm planning for a really important person to me.
So, I have asked a guy for a 5-6 songs mix, but I have no idea whether he'll be able to make it. Well, when I have my song I'll start editing for sure. So, I want to make it perfect.
I was wondering, if you had any general suggestions to give me. Although I edit 3 years, I have started last year editing anime, so I still ain't really good. Please, tell me what you think it's important, so I can make it really good. Thanks a lot. :awesome:

If you don't think you're very confident in your editing style with anime footage, I wouldn't suggest taking on a project this big. 5 - 6 songs? Yikes, that would take me months. x_x;

Do you think you could hold it off for awhile and start on something smaller?

Well, it'll be smaller than 3 minutes. It'll kill me if it's really big. And well, I have an advantage. My "teacher" is one of the best editor in Greece so he shows me stuff. :P So, well I suppose patience will be a really useful skill, right? X3

most 3 minute amvs take around at least 2 months, some people spend over 5 years on a single amv, and it doesn't turn out too good. I suggest you just do your best, have fun, and make something you really like watching, if you are editing for a cause, or as a request, you generally make a shitty amv. Make an amv because you enjoy doing it, and if you get bored, start over or try something different. AMVs aren't about being leet or perfecting rotoscoping, they are about making something for fun, so don't stress on every little thing. AMVs are not serious and mistakes will not end your career. Some people willl get anal about it, but I've been editing for around 4 years and a majority of it has been with anime, the only things I've learned are how to encode and rip dvds. I pretty much suck at amvs, but I keep trying, and people notice I improve, but throughout all of it, I partially made over 200 amvs, but things just get boring or stale, and that's why my amvs suck. I have ADHD, I can't focus on every little detail of one single song, and thus people criticize me. I have never put effort into something I didn't enjoy, but looking back, most of my AMVs are terrible, but there are some that I really like, And that's all that matters.

Well from your opinion, of course. Greece is pretty big. xD But I'm sure he's great.

Hm... so you want t mix 5 - 6 songs, and cut it down into a 3 minute AMV? Well first of all, you should have a good song mix. If you want to mix it yourself, try it out and then ask other people to beta it (that's my suggestion.) Heck, ask your teacher if you can. A good megamix is key for these types of things. c:
