One Piece: I'm on a Boat

[fishytoothy]

Hey guys. Fishytoothy/Ultimate Universe here. I finally uploaded my One Piece "I'm on a Boat" Tribute video. Back when I made it around March of 2009, this site wasn't allowing uploads for some reason and I kind of forgot about posting it. I posted it to the dreaded Utub at that time, but I wanted to post it here where real AMV fans reside. It has gotten very positive feedback so far (best AMV evar!) so hopefully some of you enjoy it!

As for the AMV, it was quite fun. Still, one thing bugged me - why was half of the footage with black borders on the sides? If it wasn't for the technical aspect this would've been a great fun watch.

The footage from older one piece episodes toward the beginning of the series are in 4:3 and the newer episodes are in windscreen. It was either cut off the wide screen and make it all 4:3 or keep the wide screen and have the 4:3 footage with black space. I can't abide cutting out footage, so I just kept them like they were. I feel like the contrast is less noticeable if you watch in Utub's player rather than playing a downloaded file in a player for some reason.

Well when dealing with different ARs it's usually better to make them all the same AR.

either crop the 4:3 so it's 16:9 or crop the 16:9 so it's 4:3

I liked it better without cropping. I guess it doesn't bother me as much as stretching/cutting stuff off.

The combination was pretty much guaranteed to elicit a smile and it certainly didn't disapoint. Despite the aneurysm T-Pain gives me and my feelings regarding the black borders It's a load of fun, and I can't really ask for much more than that. Fun fun fun, and nice scene selection in general.
