godix guide to making fucking astounding AMVs

Post by godix » Fri Jun 01, 2007 4:57 am

Step 1 - Pick your source. Now there's a shitload of anime out there but we all know that if you wanna be popular you have got to use the popular anime. No one pays attention if you use stuff like 'Kuso! Shiranai koto'. So really you got three choices. Naruto, Bleach, or DBZ. No one gives a fuck about any other series. Now Bleach isn't all the popular. Some people like it but you don't see fat white kids dressing up like bleach characters ya know. DBZ is nice for that old school feel but these days who gives a damn about it? So that leaves Naruto for your AMV.

Now audio is simple to decide on, Linkin Park FTW! They just came out with a new album so all the wannabes are going to be diving on that shit like weeaboos on female japanese foreign exchange student. Better that you stick with the classics instead, it'll make you stand out a little from all the others. I recommend In The End, the song is so fucking brilliant that I still tear up a little when hearing it.

So you're gonna do a Naruto video to In The End. See how easy this is going?

Step 2 - Get your source. I gotta be careful here. For some reason the org has some stupid rule about telling you how to get source. So I certainly can't suggest you download some naruto videos and just use them. I also couldn't tell you about filesharing, that's a big no-no. So there go my two usual methods. I guess you're just fucked instead. Draw some fanart in MSpaint and use that or something. As for the song just like hum it into your microphone I guess. Cause we certainly wouldn't want to support piracy or anything. Some people babble about ripping from a DVD or CD or something but I don't know how you'd do that. Sounds like hard work to me so fuck that shit.

Step 3 - Make the video. Load up WMM and slap you <strike>downloaded episode</strike> er, self drawn fanart. And your humming you William Hung you. Now you need to find a cool scene. You also don't want subtitles, only noobs have subtitles in their video. So avoid the speaking parts. There's nothing good in those things anyway, just boring character development. Instead focus on the fight scenes. You wanna pick a really good one, like where Rock Lee is all like "Oh no you didn't" and Gaara is all like "Oh yes I did" and Rock Lee is like "Oh no you didn't." and Gaara is all like "Oh yes I did. I'm gonna kick your ass" and Rock Lee is like "No, I'm gonna kick your ass" and then they're all like fighting and shit and Rock Lee is all like "Waaaaaa" and doing Bruce Lee moves and then Gaara is all like 'Arggghhh' and crushes him with sand and Might Guy is all like 'Bitchin.' Ah, good times. And see that fight fits In The End so well because Rock Lee loses and 'it doesn't even matter' all the effort he put in and shit. See how this is all coming together? This is gonna be fucking great!

So now you know what scenes to use, it's time to put it all together. This'll take some work, you're gonna have to spend at least an hour or so on it. So you know, kick your sister out of the room and tell mom you'll do the dishes later. Now we're gonna get into some advanced pro tips here. It's called sync. See you have all these drum beats and stuff right? So wouldn't it be fucking cool as hell if you timed it so each time there's a drum hit the characters throw a punch or something? Sure, that takes some time to do I know, but the results are worth it. You also gotta pay attention to the words. Whenever they sing 'in the end it doesn't even matter' you wanna show the end of the fight when Rock Lee is all buried in sand and shit. Show it EVERY time. Only someone who halfasses this shit wouldn't. Don't worry, the repetition is good, it drives the point home to the viewers. And don't forget the effects. WMM has lots of effects and transitions and so on in. You gotta toss those in every chance you can. Everyone has seen Naruto before so they'll be all bored and think you suck unless you got lots of effects to distract them.

Step 4 - Fame. Upload your video to the tube the come over here and post an announcement telling us all about your masterpiece. Now there's a forum called 'video announcements' but ignore that. Most people only read the General AMV forum so post about your video there. Wait a few minutes, if someone hasn't replied to let you know how kick ass your video is yet then people just probably overlooked your topic or something so you need to bump your thread. Don't worry though, after awhile people will notice and be all like bowing down and 'we're not worthy' and shit. You will get the fame you deserve.

The sad thing is KSK is the part that took longest. I actually had a 10 minute conversation in IRC about it.

Eh, I like my guide better:

1.Watch only new ten million dollar anime.
2.Once a series that every geek likes is at episode 3, start editing.
3.Grain filter in After Effects.
4.????
5.Profit

Good Lord! I think I've done almost everything in that list :lol:

Well, okay, I don't use Naruto, DBZ or Bleach... and I don't really care all that much for Linkin Park... But... um... yeah. :oops:


God I such a dork. :(
