Same song/many AMV projects?

Dude, I just don't get the appeal of bukkake - BUT you have successfully tainted "Take On Me" for the next five years

And I'm not even in the chat usually! Whew.

Anyhow, same song/same anime would be interesting, but I'd even enjoy same song/different anime, to see how people interpret the song - best done with a song that is a bit difficult or vague or even artsy. Or, of course you could go the other way and do comedy.

Hmm.

So, we've got a project name, but no people involved, no song chosen, and no one to organize it.

Sounds great, where do I sign up?

But seriously, I like this idea. And being as she brought it up, I think that Sarah should organize it

Note: I'm serious

How many "Wassup" videos have been made?

...you don't have to answer that...

But seriously, 'Take on Me' is a really lame song to use for any amv attempt.... Something with more substance or clever lyrics would work better.

And no, not 'Bohemian Rhapsody' because as anyone can clearly see, there's a couple Evangelion videos done to it already

The difference in quality is noticeable...

I think "Take on Me" could be really cool for an AMV, if done right... One could shoot live action footage of an anime fan who falls in love with his/her favorite character, do a whole crazy rotoscope of said anime character... it would be a tough project I've thought of taking on. Can you tell? Well, it wouldn't actually be THAT difficult, if someone were willing to put that kind of time into a project they weren't getting paid for... jeeze, I'm going to get excited about that idea again. Damnit. I hate you all.

I like Take on Me and all.. but for a bunch of AMVs featuring the same song, I think it would not be so good.

I am thinking more along the lines of some sort of classical piece. Like Ode to Joy

*has evil thoughts*

Ode to Joy Bukkake vid... hahaha!

YCSTR and I already have declared a "Take On Me" competition. He's getting the original, and I get the Reel Big Fish cover. I don't think that either of us are going to finish our video for a while though.

I would think that an instrumental song would lend itself best to looking for 'different interpretations'- that way there aren't any lyrics to get in the way of the 'artistic effort' (as my wife would put it). I'd recommend one of the tracks off the Backdraft soundtrack, personally. The only problem would be that I just know someone would throw in some Iron Chef footage

Someone should use the MxPx version of it too...
