I've always wanted to try to expand my abilities, but laziness and time always win out. I don't think I've made 8 videos in like the last...3 years -_-;;.

Then again, can I just make one sappy video and then change the song seven times?

Either way, I think this is a good idea if you have the time and interest. If not, I don't imagine you'd get very far...

Same here when I first read this thread it sounded like an interesting idea, but going to college, working 30 hours a week and studying for other test job related doesn't leave me much time anymore for amv's. I've only made 2 or 3 vids in the past 2 years. I would give this a shot, however I think I'll try to make different types of videos throughout 2008 though and try different things. I just don't think I could do all 8.

I'm up for the task. I already have half of the list's worth of videos planned for release next year (with all or most of the editing being done next year.) This sounds like it would be a fun little challenge to make up.

Oh, yeah, sure, I'm up for this. Give myself a goal/resolution for 2008.

It's gonna be tough for me to make an intentionally funny comedy video.

This is like, what I've been trying to do for the past two years ANYWAY so I might as well join. (and btw, you only think my dance looks like action because you're basing it off one video and you didn't see my RO-Estrogen track cuz you didn't go to ACen or AWA so THERE

)

I don't think eight videos in a year is even physically possible.

I combined categories on some of these. It's dance/fun not just dance. I know you've done at least one fun video. If you want to challenge yourself by doing a dance video then great, just wanted to point out Odorikuruu like videos aren't the only thing in that category.

I'm not putting a time limit on it. I figure make the video long enough it seems complete instead of leaving people going 'that's it? Where's the rest?' How long that will be varies greatly depending on editing style, song choice, and genre.

Let me guess, every single song will be sappy and from the 80's?

That's fine. Even if people can't do all 8 they can still take the opportunity to try new things.

I always get in trouble when I use specific examples in IRC. Would it help if I point out that your one rather actiony dance video I based my comments on is also one of the rare videos I actually liked enough to keep? Despite it not being all that upbeat a song actually. Besides there are many more than you that do that.

As for everyone else, I've noted your interest and thank you. I'm not actually going to put up a list of people doing this on the fist post yet though. This is one of those things it's easy to promise to do and never actually get around to doing. I don't want a list full of nothing so I'll wait until 2008 and put people on the list once they actually post a video in here.
