Last Minute Pimping: (It said 'Shameless')

Postby Anamorphic Productions » Tue Jan 18, 2005 9:17 pm

So there's one day left... Technically several hours, but I don't think nominations will start until noon or so tomorrow, unless the admins are REALLY good. :D

Since many of the threads have died, lets start a new one. :lol:

Pimp ONE of your own videos, with a short description and categories you'd like to see it in.

AND THEN

Pimp ONE video that's NOT YOURS. A friend's, something that isn't seeing a lot of hype, that one video that 'EVry1 MUST Se', whatever.

And of course, I'll start.

Delirium by...me. ^^

A 'seizure' video- using frame by frame editing that jumps between two and three different, unconnected anime scenes that, combined with the dance mix of Darude's Sandstorm and Robert Mile's Children, force you to choose which scenes you want to 'see'. Please don't watch this if you do suffer from Epilepsy, and be warned that this is a video with flashing- of the strob-y, not flesh-y kind. :D

For Best Dance and Best Original Concept. (Please don't nominate me for Best Effects or Video of the Year. Delirium doesn't HAVE anything more complicated than a crossfade and a 'glow' overlay, and while I may think it's great, it certainly isn't the best by FAR.)

And also pimping:

Reflections of a Goddess by norskotaku

An Ah My Goddess! Video that started out in this contest with five opinions. It's beautiful, and uses the source (movie) footage amazingly. While long, it's easily one of the BEST instrumental vids I've seen in a long time. And more people need to DL it! *pimp*
This video could essentially summerize the whole Goddess movie, if that was what he intended- instead, he tells his own story, and re-arranges the order of events to tell almost three seperate stories. Amazingly well timed throughout. I love this video to death.

For Best Instrumental. (If it appears under Best Sentimental or Best Artistic, I'll be voting for it there too.)

Your Turn!
(And if you don't have a video that's competing, just pimp the one you'd like to see win!)

My own shameless pimp:

Little Tortilla Boy - Best Trailer

Hilarious original skit by Pablo Francisco, the gratuitous use of Gendo, and Onizuka selling tortillas. A parody inside of a parody, this trailer exists for a movie that doesn't exist. If that makes sense.

On a side note, I'd like to thank everyone who has helped pimp this video out :P It really means a lot to me.



Other pimp:

At the risk of sounding like a poser, I'm going with you on this one AP. Reflections of a Goddess by norskotaku is simply amazing. I am still undecided between this and Otohiko's Wasteland video for best Instrumental, as they certainly both deserve it. However, this one is much less well known. Beautiful music (who doesn't like Epcot?), beautiful video, all around awesome job.

Yay those are great vids for me though. Outlaws of the Carribean is one of my favs from this year. Obviously my favorite anime but also it is one of the best parodies of the year.

Fighting For Your Love -

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=33238

Is a cute romance story between Lina and Gourry, but when Gourry trys to sing to Lina it sounds NFG. (New Found Glory or No F(#$#^) Good.) The singing is all of key which is the purpose of the video but yet to tell a serious love story at the same time. Which this pulls it off. It was an Ohayocon Finalist but more importantly an Otakon Finalist, at this time I have to say this is my most popular video because it is fun to watch and it isn't your slow pace sappy romance video. Which it always ligthens up a contest.

Enjoy the video.

i dun really like pimping any of my videos but here goes:

Hollow

A video using Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust to the song "Haunted" by Evanescence. While not a wholly original idea (one other vid has been made with this combination, and i've heard it's quite good) it's a video i enjoyed creating greatly. The general idea for this video was to try and put across the story of the movie while still trying to keep the viewers attention. The first part of the video explains the kidnapping, and D's hiring, and then the first chorus shows two early action sequences combined into one to introduce both D a little better, and the Markus brothers. Between the first and second chorus I have brief "character profilings" of the main good guys and bad guys, and then at the chorus I use the action sequence of D fighting the female Barbarois, and then also Leila fighting her. The second chorus then leaps into the guitar solo which is a 'collage' of images plowing through the story to the final fight scene between D and Meier, which is shown in the final chorus before the songs end. If I got any nominations for this video i'd want them in the Horror/Terror section, even though this video is borderline between Horror and Action, i'd still prefer Horror/Terror.

and heres the video i'm pimping that isn't mine:

IRIA - Complete Authority

THE BEST IRIA MUSIC VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN! This video is absolutely amazing. Almost one year in the making the author, AltruisticCrono, put amazing amounts of work into this video. The video is Iria:Zeiram The Animation put to "Points of Authority (Remix)" by Linkin Park. Now don't be discouraged because it uses a Linkin Park song, or because Iria hasn't had very many success's in the AMV world. This video is one that revives both the anime and the song. Every frame of this video is a masterpiece. I would request that people nominate this video for best Action video. Unlike a lot of action videos out there this isn't just mindless explosions and gunfights/swordfights. This video goes through the storyline in pretty much chronological order (exceptions for the song of course) and is able to put across the feelings of the characters. It is an absolute masterpiece, all i request is that people nominate Complete Authority for best Action video.

that's all for now

Okay, here's mine, pimpin' for comedy:

Slayers CABARET:

A video done to Wilkommen, the opening song from the musical "Cabaret." In the video, Lina and comany enter a night club to see it run by Xelloss, the emcee. He introduces several Slayers characters as the "Cabaret boys and girls." Soon everybody gets in on it.

This is probably the best video I've ever done and has been very well-received by most who reviewed it (but hey, there are critics in every crowd). Unfortunately, it's not very well known. Give this vid some lovin'!

I wasn't going to do this, but I guess I will anyhow.

Creative Distractions by me (Resk) for Best Lip Sync.

This is a video I worked especially hard on, because after a long hiatus, this was the first FFX-2 AMV I made using Premiere, and so I wanted to make it special. Normally when using FFX-2 exclusivly, you're almost restricted to puttin some kind of lip sync into the video using clips from Real Emotion and 1000 Words, and so (even though everyone including myself hates the song) I did my best to really just bring out a fun FFX-2 video with little or no real plot. Generally, it's been accepted well by people who have viewed it, but then again that's not very many. So hopefully that will change by putting it in here ^_^

Diary of a Monster by Sky_William for Best Action.

This is a video which I was really surprised by. Rarely do I actually enjoy non-FF videos, but this one actually kept my attention beyond the first 30 seconds. It has great timing and great clip choices, which allowed me (who is more familliar with video game scenes rather than anime) to actually understand the story behind the clips themselves. I will admit I've never seen Naruto before, so this was a big achievement. Also, this video demonstrates a clearly defined art of depicting action without resulting to mountains of explosions or oddly timed sword fights. I really think it deserves more traffic than it has, and so hopefully by putting it here, that will change ^_^
As the warlock said in the end, even if another age of storms buffets the world, I intend to go on living, and fighting, for you who saved me from the darkness, the one I love!

My own: <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=39186">Ghibli's All Around The World</a>. A fairly pointless special effects for special effects sake video that deserves winning 'best dance' or 'most pointless' for the simple fact I'm an egotistical bastard and need constant awards and recognition to stave off having my ego deflate to normal size. I should just change my username to Yukino Miyazawa.

Other: Rozards <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=47756">I DON'T KNOW</a> just because most comedy videos have 10 seconds of material that actually makes me laugh out of 3 minutes of AMV but this one managed to have 10 seconds of material that actually made me laugh out of 15 seconds of AMV. It deserves some sort of reward since it's laugh to length ratio is so much better than damned near any other AMV around

Ahh, sorry.

Okay, second pimp:

For romance, I nominate "The Search is Over" by Imaginos. It's a very pretty Love Hina vid, probably one of the best I've seen.

Oh, and thanks for the props on Slayers CABARET. Much appreciated. :)

How could ya forget my video? I'm, like, one of the only people who made a big annoying image advertising my vid this year ;)

[url=http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=32963]
Kyo's Habit!

Image[/url]

I spent a lot of time making this video, and I'm pretty proud of it, admittedly. I think, more than any other video I've seen of the type, that it captures Kyo's soul, and the spirit and feeling of his story, better than any other video has. There was a lot of learning involved in the making of this video. It was the first video where I used a track matte, as well as many many image mattes. The video itself has technical problems which grate on my nerves a bit, but my friends and others who watch it say that they love the video anyway, and didn't really notice the problems until I pointed them out.

So yeah, if you haven't already, just bite the bullet and give it a try. If you don't, you won't be voting fairly this year, because I think this vid has, at the very least, a good chance of nomination. I would be so hyped and honored if it was.
