My Death Note AMVs

[dazza1008]

You can see ALL my AMVs and such on LiveVideo, even the ones which I haven't mentioned on the org (because they are fully parodies), and viewing them on LiveVideo might be a better option because the earlier ones are not encoded well (i.e. flv format, mp4 converted from WMV)...

People who would enjoy these the most:
*those who have watched Death Note from eps 1 to 37 and liked it
*those who value content over the technical side of the AMVs

What I would NOT find helpful:
*comments about the quality of the encode (long story, used 240x480 raws due to low HD space, hence most AMVs in that format... am getting a better program than WMM and re-downloading the full raws to improve technically in that area)
*generally comments about the idea... some people like it, some people don't. I can't really change it.
*swear words (e.g. fuck, shit, suck, etc. Lateral thinking exercise here X3)

What I WOULD find helpful:
*tips for the planning of the AMV - such as intro was too long, use "xxx" scene instead of "yyy", use a pan (even though WMM doesn't have this, I will be using a different program in the future which could, so if you think it would work better then I'd appreciate little tips and tricks)
*if you don't like something, that's honestly fine, but tell me why. The more detailed, the more helpful it is.

All these made with WMM.




Please see this on LiveVideo - uploaded this in FLV format.


Again, LiveVideo... if you knew how much trouble it was to get WMM to sync with the talking @_@ Mello's talking bit is really out of sync, but I had WMM-itis. I'm not saying that WMM doesn't allow fine technical alterations, I'm saying it just flat out doesn't do what it's supposed to do sometimes. E.g. when I pasted the pictures so it would sync with the words and had to save the movie file to superimpose it, sometimes it had mouth open for 2 seconds which I didn't program, but when I pause that same saved clip and go through it frame by frame, it had the correct sync, i.e. mouth closed or correct opening and closing. @_@ (and it appeared incorrectly when superimposed @_@). With all the stray frames that WMM loves to insert that are less than .08 of a second... @_@ (no excuse, I know! X3)


Minor out of sync with Near when it's close up of his mouth saying "I'm the shit" in the beginning, but couldn't exactly tell which frame to remove... <.<








LiveVideo please. THIS AMV was unusual to make, because I used white fading to change the scenes... it's not meant to be lipsync. Used the white fading to show that everything between the fades matched with the whole line, it wasn't piece by piece. (sometimes the matching things had to be shown in reverse to what it was talking about, to get the storyline) Changes I would have made in retrospect... maybe make the fades sandwiching the "fell in love" line shorter because it pretty much covers L's creepy face because that section is so short. Maybe, might have looked weird with the other fades being a particular length.


Why is this the most downloaded one of my AMVs? I don't know. X3 (is Lucky Star that popular?) Would have put the extra time and effort if I had a better program than WMM, I agree with any timing problems. For fun value only, I think.


The infamous L is Singin' in the Rain AMV. LAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~~~~~~~! Enjoyed by a select few, I've found. For L fans. This is my second AMV, hadn't downloaded raws at this point. Hence the subs.


My first AMV. No raws. Stray frames, bad synching. Watch only if you like the idea.

~~~~~~~VIDEOS THAT ARE MORE PARODY BUT STILL HAVE SOME MUSIC~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caught a stray frame just before the "you make me smile". And I really tried to get rid of them! >.< Some spoken sections, again if you've seen Death Note you will understand those parts. I didn't realise WMV could be uploaded to the org (yes, I am relatively new) and so converted it from WMV to MP4 to upload. Better quality on LiveVideo, I think.




If you spend your time giving me the type of critique I would like, thank you in advance!

Er, if a Mod's deleting the videos, please let me know, I had 13 mentioned, but may have deleted them myself when I edited the post...
Am putting them back up now.

EDIT: OK, for some reason it deletes half of the stuff after I edit the post... glad I saved the code before posting... @_@

and btw you shouldn't be watching Death Note if you're under 18. Tsk Tsk! X3
(seriously, it was broadcast at 2AM in Japan, I think...)
