loud obnoxious opening credits

[Sukunai]

This might sound odd, but, I have never liked people that require loud annoying open credit sequences.

Especially if the anime creation is a pleasant reasonably quite amv.

I get really turned off when I start the video, and BAM loud annoying look at me sequence essentially pisses me off.

If you think this is without repercussions, think again. Either the song gets trashed, or, if I like the amv enough, I just run it through an editor, cut your opening sequence off, and thereafter, anyone I show it to, gets the version where you don't get credited.

So people, be proud of your creations, but, tone done the friggin noise level.

The youth of today sure has a short attention span. Do you also get pissed off at certain movies when they show the credits in the beginning? Those sequances can take several minutes, but with AMVs you only have to stand the horrible pain for a few seconds. It's also not entirely impossible to skip them.

Is it just me or does this bitching really seem to come from an angry individual, who didn't think too long before posting?

- chill out i dont think its that big a deal - the only intro from a memorable amv I can remember atm that seems a bit obnoxious now was from an ermac vid - but I was "yay an ermac vid" at the time I was watching those. So I think it can work well for you if you have a good intro bumper thingy.

I agree, there's no reason to get so angry over it.

Firstly, as was already pointed out, it's only for a few seconds at the beginning. Keep in mind the amount of time and effort the maker put into the AMV, if he/she wants a fancy, loud opening for it, that's their choice to make.

Secondly, cutting off the credits then sharing it with your friends is pretty bad, kinda like disrespecting the creator just because you didn't like 5 seconds of noise.

This is what you bitch about in IRC. The forums aren't really conducive to this kind of chat.

I don't think this is about credits in general, just ones where the credits don't match the tone of the rest of the video. With movies you're rarely going to see a hard rock song playing over the opening credits of a romance movie.

reasonably quite amv.

.. times have changed. In this AMV I let the girl ramble-on for people to "set the sound level.".. today people do not bother with such a helpful distractions but, yeah -- I've run across quite a few AMV's that either blow-your-ears-out or have some annoying sound affect that makes you Stop watching it all together.
.. it must have something to do with that little girls "smell my feet" thing to get something in-your-face that they are so proud of. I've never understood what they could possibly be thinking, beides wanting to show everybody that their brain has malfunctioned!

Actually I agree with the anime military name guy here. Most credits are fine but a few credits are really really annoying. Especially ones that have hard rock in their intro when the video is a slow drama. Man, talk about killing the videos mood right off the bat.
