Mercyful AMV Project, Sign-up and the rest

Undertow · Post by **Undertow** » Wed Feb 23, 2005 1:47 am

Hi everyone, i'm planning on doing a Multi Editor project, using the song Mercyful Fate by Metallica, from the Garage Inc. cd. This song is a compilation of various Mercyful Fate songs covered by Metallica. The lyrics can be found HERE, and the song Here. Rightclick and save.
The song will be split up into (somewhat) equal parts depending on where it transits to a different song, or where it seems atleast logical to split it.

So to cut it all short, i need editors.
The project (and song) will be split like this:

1. 00.00 - 01.11___(Satan's Fall)____________(Supersayian313: yu yu hakusho)
2. 01.11 - 02.32___(Curse Of The Pharaohs)___(Ritsuo: Yu-Gi-Oh)
3. 02.32 - 03.53___(Curse Of The Pharaohs)___(Tek: Anime is decided later)
4. 03.53 - 04.49___(A Corpse Without Soul)____(Undertow: Gungrave)
5. 04.49 - 05.54___(A Corpse Without Soul)____(Vega Sailor: Revolutionary Girl Utena: Movie)
6. 05.54 - 07.15___(Into The Coven)
7. 07.15 - 08.08___(Evil)
8. 08.08 - 09.11___(Evil)________(Zaphod Beeblebrox: Samurai X Trust & Betrayal)
9. 09.11 - 10.20___(Evil)________(Swank Monkey: Neon Genesis Evangelion and RahXephon)
10. 10.20 - 11.11__(Evil)________(Undertow: Gasaraki)

I'll also try to create an interesting into and outro, unless someone elso would really love to do the honours

Some rules:
No repeated use of anime, i know some of them seem very logical and all, but i want it to be a bit diverse, seeing 3/4th of the video done to berserk isn't what i'm hoping for. The only exception for this is if it's mixed in with a lot of other anime, then it doesn't matter. Just as long as it's not in every part or something
no use of fansubs (but that seems logical) and no other subs in it eighter.
Resize widescreen, i don't mind bars in the footage, they are less distracting then weird resizes (stickfigures and such)
no excessive violence and nudity (berserk is quite violent, but that is as far as i'll go, and fanservise is alright, just no hentai)
3 seconds extra before and after the limit, this allows for a better tansition, so each video would be 6 seconds longer than listed.
No Dragonball, but i think that is something that wouldn't fit with this song anyway

Now for the technical stuff:
Settings
Resolution (720 X 480), non-interlaced
4:3 only , 16:9 (add black borders, no pan and scan)
24 FPS

If you have something, send me a beta in MPEG1 or DviX/XVid
When everything is okay after that, send me the Huffy over a messenger, or if you have your own site to host it on, send me a link.
If you want the song or want to comment on something, please ask me over a messenger.

Well, guess this is everything, i hope to hear from the people that might be interested. So good luck anyone participating in this, and hope to hear from you.

There is also a similar topic of this running on MTT, Check it out here

I would like to do the second "A Corpse Without Soul" bit using Revolutionary Girl Utena: the Movie

Great, welcome aboard, looking forward to all the videos, sounds like there are a lot of original ideas floating around now.
Let's hope there are more members to come, that would be the best.

On a sidenote, if anyone has a server on which the song can be hosted, that would be great.
