American Idiot MEP (Interest Gauge)

So it's mix - short songs ftw?

All right. Not so bad really, I'm just presenting this idea and seeing what everyone thinks. So long as the basic premise stays the same

Thanks for that suggestion. Any thing else?
Looks like this could work :Up:

As for the "multi-movement songs" you could also split those in the different parts and make a part of each part a track in the mep. Other MEP's are already splitting tracks for 2 editors when they're too long, so you could do it like that with those songs O:

It'd also be effective to have the same editor get multiple parts in different songs to develop his character, and set all the characters side by side.

You know what,im interested =o

I think we decided on this alreaddy,but as long as we arent useing full songs,im interested as stated above,reason why the full album wouldent be a good choice..it will be way over longer then it should have been,and it would be a very long term project,im talkin allooong time,even though ive seen meps longer then what you had in mine,it was easier to get threw them due to the fact they were more Comedy then anything...

Yeah, I kinda had a few thoughts about it.
It sounds like a mix would be a lot easier, plus having the songs edited.

Oh, you mean split it further. That could work for some parts. Though I really don't see why an editor can't handle a minute long part =/

It'd also be effective to have the same editor get multiple parts in different songs to develop his character, and set all the characters side by side.

that'd be pretty cool.

Well, it seems we have some interest. Mind if I post some more technicalities?
The usual editing requirements, 29.97 fps, Lagarith, the works. Source-wise, I'm open to anything but shonen anime, because I fail to see how Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach, or Final Fantasy will have anything to do with this (Although if you give me a really good reason why you're using it, I should give you a go-ahead)

Ok, I'm gonna start making a mix in a short while just for the heck of it. While we're at it, any tracks that should be cut out. I'm thinking of having just the following (Majority of these tracks will be edited for length too :0) The italicized tracks are the ones I think may or may not be included.

Intro - American Idiot (Really small version)
Track 01 - Jesus of Suburbia (possibly full)
Track 02 - Holiday
Track 03 - Blvd of Broken Dreams
Track 05 - Are We The Waiting
Track 06 - St.Jimmy
Track 07 - She's a Rebel
Track 08 - Letterbomb
Track 09 - Homecoming
Track 10 - Whatsername

What do you think?

Well, if this does end up happening, I'd definitely be interested. ^__^

That's not what I meant. As like for the song Jesus of Suburbia which already has different "parts" by itself. so you can split up the songs like that one and make it like:

Jesus of Suburbia (Part 1)
Jesus of Suburbia (Part 2)
Jesus of Suburbia (Part 3)

So different Editors editing to the same Song but different "parts" of it.

This would only work for the "multi-movement songs" though.

You mean split up the parts in the song itself? So If I get what your'e saying, City of the Damned and I Dont' Care would have 3 or more parts?

Yeah, that's what I meant earlier when I said 'split it even further'. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear

...Just a suggestion,but you might want to decide to include that information in the intro post.

Track 01 - Jesus of Suburbia (possibly full)
Track 02 - Holiday
Track 03 - Blvd of Broken Dreams
Track 05 - Are We The Waiting

What do you think?

Sounds good to me,but i cant make an accurate decision without listening to it,or make a claim without listening it.
