First Action Vid

-Mangekyou- · Post by **-Mangekyou-** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 10:18 am

Hey,

Do you have any suggestions, hints,... for making a action vid?
I'm using the song Numb from Linkin Park (I wish it wasn't so overused:p)
And I use Naruto as anime.I'm using AE CS3 and Premiere CS2.
Especially hints for synch... In my first vid I don't want to use a lot of effects.
Maybe some masking... but nothing else.

Or are there some guides to it?

I suggest throwing out yer Naruto.

As for Numb,it's the fewest times used song out here,though the band is still overused,despite how great it is.

I'd suggest using less known action series,or at least less used one. Personally I'd suggest Getbackers - it has lots of great action scenes,and a great story.

As for band,same suggestion - use less known band,or less used one,then you'll get more attention. Since if you'll make just another LP+Naruto vid,you'll just get ignored,or even worse - bashed.

well, if it's your first, using linkin park might make sense in that there's a lot of other linkin park action amvs you can use as models to see what works well and doesnt.

I wanna stay with Naruto but I wanna have an another song that's never bin used before in an AMV.With also an sentimental side on it (Maybe with japanese lyrics...)
But Naruto stays for me as the Anime... Cuz I already have an idea for the story =D

After thinking I decided to choose for Getbackers =D
Until I get the full serie there will be a mond further so I'm going to make an AMV
with my frst idea for trying for myself not to upload,... just for to see how it is.
My first AMV I will upload should be the one with Getbackers

Raptor°Thnx =D

LIEZ AND DECEIT!

Just make it as flashy as you want O:

The One Thing you should keep in Mind is: Make it how you like it.

If you are into tons of flashes and seizurefetic shit, hell go for it.
