Going on how popular the opening with Doctor Who was with audiences, what if another fandom was tapped in the opening. Like if the Mega Man 2 opening was used and had some of the icon from salad in the windows of the tower and then Mega Man on top of course being watched by the geico money and the salad title being rendered in 8bit graphics?

Don't you wish you could extract what you see in your mind as a downloadable video file?

all we need to do is steal the machine from the Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie and modify it so it records thoughts instead of just dreams..yeah that would work :wink:

If I may interject, Salad 6 should be named "AMV Salad 6: The Tossing"
The video will start with a dictionary definition of Salad Tossing and/or a clip using the audio from this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=077UtUWGQOA
Then the actual intro with credits could use this song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmeAHJL8Wrc
And have characters tossing clips from AMV Salad.
:bear:

Also, has any previous clip used Fruit Salad from the Wiggles?

Aside from the weaponized pumpkin and the the German dance, we haven't started editing yet, but we do have a growing list of ideas to try (and a growing collection of audio).

I like this idea, though I'd be more inclined to seeing Donkey Kong or Mario. DK throws stuff which could be salad-related, and Mario is just more iconic.

As for themes:

I was watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ5cGYBV2TQ and thought that there might be enough spoof political sources to go that route.

I'll try to get something edited to send in (I have a problem that's rare for me- I have too many ideas and need to narrow them down).

Well I've got a notepad of all the ideas I have for the next one but uh...no actual work done lol. Most of what I've come up with thus far is more in the range of "quickies"...stuff that lasts a couple of seconds. I also need to get ahold of some of the anime I want to use, as I don't own it.
One of my possible idea clips at the moment plays off of those Target ads that run right now like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlqO3aGt ... =endscreen where like, say for example the scene in Chobits where he realizes he's gonna need to buy her some underwear. Do you think that may work as a running thing...like starting with a couple of mundane things then making it slowly more insane with stuff you would never find there (like flame throwers or giant robots or something).

Also I'll soon have some reaction stuff from Katsucon...which was uh...well the audience was really into it but it started way late due to them not having the stuff even remotely set up...and like it actually ended up not being projected fully onto the screen and then them making it stop midway through AMVS4 because time had run out (even though it was their fault).

I see a lot of good ideas coming along.
But there are two months until the initial deadline.
I'd really like to see some entries coming in

All right, I've not been able to get started as fast as I wanted to, and unfortunately it looks like this year I'm going to end up being a dick again and working up until the submission date -_- Sorry to say, but this year's even worse with the earlier submission.

I have some good news at least:

davidkrein.net/BiWinTest.rar

All sync isn't complete, but I finally got all the clips I wanted in and the timing close enough that I'll be able to finish in a couple hours. Let me know what you think.

Honestly, while I was making this, I felt I should ask what you guys thought about this clip's viability as a potential intro. For some reason fading in to the first part of this made me think it could work, kind of like how the quick opening to Lelouche with the Dr Geass intro ended up working pretty well. And the ending has an echo that could have the title fade in, potentially. Or we could just do a different title. Basically this would be more like AMVS4 with the intro clip, then title, then continue rather than AMVS5's integrated intro.

In terms of the tossed salad idea Bonehimer posted, I like the concept, but don't particularly like the audio picks. The first one just lacked any context to make it particularly funny right off the bat, and the second one was just plain annoying, sorry to say. If we could find something that was more ironic and innocent relating to tossing salad, it could work, but it's also so specific I find it hard to believe we could find anything like that.

Anyway, now that FFXIII-2 is Platinumed, I plan to work hard on getting my clips done, but I don't know if I can make that many this year at this rate. Here's hoping. Captpan6 has two that will be quite good, but I need to update the footage from Youtube to 720x480. Minor adjustment, but annoying.

Speaking of which, does anyone have DVD footage of Star Wars New Hope where the Death Star blows up the planet? Preferably the older explosion, but it doesn't really matter. I just need that footage if anyone has the ability to grab it for me please. It will save me a bunch of time and the money for purchasing it for one small scene.

The lip sync in the beginning could stand improvement, as could the "shut up." When he holds up a picture at 0:37 it would be nice to either see a picture of Sheen or a picture of Stein in his hand. Not sure if the last clip is meant to be there.... Other than that looks good.

I wrote below it that the sync isn't complete, but you deduced exactly what I was going to do with the medicine ^^ I posted it kind of to show I didn't disappear. It'll take some time to find the right sheen picture I think, but I'm finishing up sync now, even though I need to be asleep... and no, there was a tiny frame of maka and soul that was randomly there and I already removed it.

I hope I can at least get a good 3 minutes of footage this year. Hopefully more, but I promised myself I'd do a clip this year in remembrance of Patrice O'neal. It's a clip I originally came up with during AMVS3, and now he's gone... so yeah, I really want to commemorate him.

Hey, long time viewer, first time contributor. Actually got a few items lined up right now. Might end up putting them in a small bundle reel and sending them directly in as soon as this weekend. Crossing my fingers that they're up to quality.

Deuce, we have to get started making the Otakon version of Re-heated. Like I mentioned before there are several clips that should probably be moved around to make room for laugh breaks, and now we can add in a good 10 more minutes of some of the best work from the others. And maybe even include stuff from AMVS5 if we'd like.

But we need to get rolling on that now so that as we get all the clips in for 6, then the editing can begin. If we wait, we'll miss a golden opportunity!
