Hay Janski I just looked at you list of AMVs.

The one video of mine you have is Death of an AMV artist

I wonder why people always remeber that one, it's so chessy.

Note:
Maybe I should redo that video someday with, now better editing
and a less horrible picture. The idea was right but the excution needed
work

I consider it a classic!

Ok, maybe it's not perfect, but the idea is one of the most original I've seen. And it inspired me to a make a video to one of the songs.

::Looks shocked:: not use to that

Yeah, I think we had this dicussion before ...
Now that you mention it again, except that video was way better.

Oh, as a side note: you might wanna talk to the track above and below
you. To figure out if you want to have any type of specisfic transition into
your tracks. That way I can know before the blending process

Also, I would like to thank lucaspl81 for becoming a back_up
editor, two safetys are better then one

Crzy_Tetsuo is before me, so PM me when you have your ending decided, yo. The overlappy bit of mine can be changed any time - what I have in there now is just a placeholder, really. And OFL, the credits are after me. How should I end? Right now it fades to black; should I do something else?

Considering how this soooo doesn't fit into the whole scheme, I wanted to have an early beta just so you could tell me to change my direction if it's not right for the project. Which is fine by me; if it isn't right, I'll just make a full-length AMV out of it instead. So no worries about offending me, okay? I could use a different anime if I need to; for some reason I'm thinking this song would work decently with some Ghibli stuff, too.

That said, this is about half-finished, but you can see the general direction I'm taking right now.

Again, if it's crap or just not right for this, tell me tell me. I can try to change direction, or hand over the reins to a backup.

And this is only 10MB, and a REALLY REALLY rough beta with not too great video quality, so please take that into account. The final will have better video quality. And I mean to change some things, still. And so on. Anyway, I want to make sure it's going in the right direction and not going to mess up the end of the project before I go on.

Thanks.

I liked it, like you said "it's rough" but I understand
where it's going... Only advice I can give you is to pay attention
to those background noises. Sometimes they can give a
video the extra boost it needs. Also fading to black will work.
On to other issues, I said that advice about transitions mostly for
the editors who have quick transitions with one anthor.
When it comes right down to it, I'm chosing the main transitions
bettween the pieces. But, I'd rather have people be happy with
which ones I choose. Not trying to add pressure , actully trying to
make things easier for peoples transitional tastes. Basically general
brain storming to make the project that much better.

SideNote:
Hay crazy done the clean audio verison?
PM me when its in ok...

Sarah:
Nice idea, i'd say the only thing that needs fixing are the cuts @ 0:14 and 0:17.
CK:
I once made half an amv to "It's the end..." using Abenobashi. I found many lyric synch posibilities there.
OtakuForLife:
Could you change lucaspl81 in the posts to my .org name?
And since this is my first post in this topic, good luck to everyone involved, i'm really looking forward to the project.

Thanks. I do want to add more in. Not flashes on every single beat or something, because I find that annoying, but in many places, yeah. Though I have to warn you it's not going to look like a usual MEP track; I'm just not that type.

But that's good for now, thanks.

RAR. No, I don't want to screw up your project. Come on, have some pride in your work here. If you really think it isn't right and that I don't have enough flashy stuff on every beat like MEPs are supposed to, please, please tell me. No sugarcoating. PM if you have to.

I will GLADLY hand over the track to someone who can AfterEffects it up and do a proper MEP track. So please, don't sugarcoat it by saying "I'm letting you be creative." If you think the others could do a better job, and I'm sure they can, please let them have it. I hate euphemisms like "do whatever you want." That's not how good projects are made. Everyone hates that one lame track in an MEP that makes people wonder how the hell they got in. I don't want this project to have one of those, especially the anchor track. It deserves better than that.

So please, tell me what you -actually- -think.- Without sugarcoating. PM if you want.

Thanks.
