Ouran High School Never Ends (Sakura-Con Comedy Finalist)

Melichan923 · Post by **Melichan923** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 10:34 am

Time spent making: About a month and half to two months working at least five hours a day (stopping for a couple of days every now and then when the frustration got overwhelming, Arrgh).
Programs used: AviSynth, VirtualDubMod, Sony Vegas 6.0, Photoshop, Camtasia Studio 4, Morpheus Photo Morpher
Date Completed: October 22, 2007

Here it is, everyone! My biggest and greatest AMV project to date! A one and a half-two month project finished in October of last year. Yes, you read it correctly: October.

So why am I only uploading it now? I was waiting for it to premiere at a couple of Anime Conventions.

It was shown at Sakura-Con this weekend in the Comedy/Parody category.

It's possible that I spent almost as much time in Photoshop for this one's creation as I did in Vegas. The concept of this video was just too perfect to resist and I am dang proud of how it came out. I really hope you enjoy this one!

(If anyone actually reads the entire video description on the video page they get cookies! Whatever kind they want! )

*fecking awesome*

Concept was new and inventive. Worked well intergrating the Ouran Host Club footage witht the theme of the song.

Didn't much care for the text's font chosen.

Zoom around 2:20 was blurry and looked rough.

Masking was well done and well intergrated.

Video quality was fine, IMO, and did nothing to take away from the experience.

Felt like a sequel to "Real Cool Club".

Using the characters as moles in a whacka mole form was brilliant.

Editing was fine, but not overly impressive on the grander scale of things. STill well executed and did well to fit the concept.

I give it my personal reccomendation.

4.50/5.00

Wow, thank you so much!

I worked very hard on this one and had to do a lot of masking and other editing. I'm really glad you noticed all that.

I had a really good font set out the first couple of times I started this project. Then in a computer crash (Thank goodness I bought a new computer. The old one didn't like me too much) I lost the font and tried to find one similar because I couldn't find the same exact one again. I had my heart set on that font. Oh well, maybe I will find it again one day.

I had tried that zoom bunches of times. Without it, it was hard to read the words I edited on the CD player and I wanted it zoomed in close. Maybe I won't zoom in so much next time because it does tend to make it blurry.

Thanks for your suggestions and compliments, CodeChrono. I love comments like the one you just left: constructive in a friendly way.

I don't know who it was or if they were being serious or not, but to the person that just left me a kind of QC I wasn't expecting:

I'm sorry. </3 That wasn't my intention to bring any of "that" back to you. It was just supposed to be a comedy/parody video. *Hug*

lol yah I think that was my QC, sorry it wasn't supposed to sound too serious ;>

i actually really liked the video from an objective kind of standpoint, it's just such a pity that real school life ain't that way (but that goes for all anime I guess

)

Hehe, it's okay. I just got worried. And yeah, I know what you mean.
