Funimation's Black Butler AMV

Postby kireblue » Fri Jan 07, 2011 8:52 pm

so yeah, I was on youtube, and I saw that Funimation officially uploaded a AMV that was was made in order to promote "Black Butler". The video is pretty random and lacks flow, but it is 100% legal and official. I'm still a little disappointed though. If Funimation ever does this again, it would be awesome if they contact a bunch of AMV editors and have a contest to see who could make the best video. And the winner's video could become an official trailer or possibly a special feature/ extra on the DVD release. I would love to participate in something like that.

Here is the video

Anyway, the reason why I started this thread is to ask a question. Do you think that someday AMV editors could be freelance editors for companies like Funimation. I know about the 4 AMVs that were put on ADV's final release of Noir, but it always seemed like a one time thing. Do you think that the AMV community (mainly the org) has enough power and influence to persuade Funimation to do this more often. Could AMV editing someday become a career? Or is this simply a impossible dream?

As long as funimation can get better looking promotional videos for cheaper labor, i'm sure that they will reach out to the org eventually.

About the first part, quite impossible perhaps, being the case that moooost of the editors use cracked programs, and to have some vid edited on that on TV/DVD is like what, crime?
Unless they give away. Or ask some specific stuff, so everything is legal.

About 2nd part: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=101761

I feel this way two. AMVs have become an increasingly popular highlight of conventions, and they serve as awesome promotional tools.

You can't tell if a video was made on illegal software by looking at the render, so I doubt that it would be an issue. Anyway, my Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 is 100% legal.

And in terms of your link, I don't think that it really applies to this. The professional editor thread is talking about editing live action footage as a career. Editing AMVs as a career would be completely different.

Possibly yes. But what about the music? As long as the company get everything solved for the audio, I think it's possible

Well, it's better than the TANK video on the Bebop dvds.

FUNimation LOVES amvs. They love my Dragon Bebop Z and The Haunted Ship and also loved Kusoyaro's "Novem" MEP. That AMV was most likely done by their in-house editor with the digital master sources as opposed to DVD rips. Maybe doki can post about how what methods he and some of the other editors used for the Noir extras.

FUNi really knows how to listen to their fans so maybe ask some of their representatives at a convention. If we really want to make amv editing an actual career, we need to push forward and inquire the best we can. This is GREAT news. :up:

I say that we all need to like and or favorite that AMV. Even if you don't feel that it is all that good, we need to promote it. If Funimation feels that the AMV is bringing Black Butler a lot of attention, we become one step closer.

I don't think that paid is the right word. It was probably made by someone already employed by Funimation as a video editor.

Well it certainly speaks about the quality of the company when they allow something that poor to have their bumper on it.

Then again it's Funi, and they've always been complete morons kept afloat by DBZ and whatever flavour of the month kiddie show they've picked up this season.

I actually like Funimation and disagree with everything you just said. Lets not turn this into a Funimation bashing thread please.

On another note, the following post makes it sound like Funimation may have received the AMV from another party. http://blog.funimation.com/2011/01/becc ... ic-videos/
Funimation wrote:Compliments of Becca, we did receive the official music video and AMV that I’ve uploaded to our YouTube Channel and embedded below for your enjoyment.

Are they saying that Becca made the AMV?

If they think an Avril Lavigne wannabe who's ten years late to the party and a show about rich pretty boys and the faithful servants who stand by them is going to get 14 year olds buying this tripe they are sorely mistaken. Especially today when most 14 year old girls are more technologically literate and willing to download fansubs than the 40 year old white dude who came up with this messy horror show of a marketing disaster.

Kazuo Ishiguro is probably rolling in his grave, gnashing his single decayed tooth against dry brittle gums and spitting dust as he curses the soul of the Tokyo writer who butchered his book to make this series.

From the looks of that video Becca can't sing, can't dance and has a childish sense of rhythm. She's gonna be the next Yeezy for sure. :awesome:

Am I the only one that thinks that song doesn't fit the video at all? Seriously feels like I'm just watching video and listening to a random song.

Song sounds more suitable to a drama/romance anime featuring a strong female lead character imo... :|
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson
