AMV Salad 5: Happy Meal (Nekocon 14, here we come!)

[Gaelstrom]

So Deuce, are you going to be putting AMVS 5 up on the .org anytime soon? People are asking for it.

[Deuce Loosely]

Now that I'm over the con plague I'm on the task.
Have to input all the info for the page, too...ugh. :/

Hey Deuce, I would like this screen listed as a collaborator on the Salad, I'm the quieter half of Warlike Swans.

Did you get the reaction vid, or would you like me to send you the link?

Now were you the artistic half or the "secretarial" one?

BTW that's a good point.
Everyone check your main pages and confirm yourselves as collaborators to this project.

[Deuce Loosely]

Oh...one more thing.

It's available to the 'org for download!

I did not get the video but I would like it, Thank you ^^

Now were you the artistic half or the "secretarial" one?

I guess I was dubbed the "secretarial one" at Otakon,

I'm posting to let you all know I'm compiling AMV Salad: Reheated.

Soon I will post a download link to the 31-minute retrospective of the first four episodes, only taking the clips which received the strongest reactions from convention viewing audiences.
This will be the "pre-show" for AMV Salad 5 as it "tours" this year.
It's mainly for those new to the series or who wish for a compilation of the best, funniest clips from past years.

What I want from all of you who decide to help me shape this is...
1. watch the video,
2. take each clip on its own merit or how well you feel it would work with the project,
3. eliminate one clip,
4. PM me with your choice.
Once I take those clips off the time line, we will repeat the process for round 2.
We will have as many rounds as it takes until we cut the time down to 22 minutes.
The final video will be no longer than 25 minutes.

SN: I forgot to include "Jackass Through Time" from AMVS4.
I'm thinking that might be one of the "safe" clips, though.
And a few clips somehow found their way in twice so disregard one of them.
Who's still in?

[Angelyco]

I'm game, I'll try to watch it tonight.

[Deuce Loosely]

Round one of eliminations end at midnight tomorrow.
I have only heard from one editor.
If I don't have enough clips eliminated but the end of October I'll have to do it myself.
I'd much rather this be a cooperative effort...plzkthx.

[Deuce Loosely]

The results from round one of cuts were:
* "Bye Bye Bye"
* "Sailor Moon Laugh"
Furthermore, I'm declaring the Haruhi / Birdman clips "safe" because of how they bookend each other the way the Tenchi Muyo fap clips do.
Also safe are "Sony POS" and "Gurren Rock" because of their build-up.
After this round of cuts, I'll create a new time line video to reflect the changes.
I need EVERYONE to participate if you don't want me to make too many decisions on my own.
We need to know what we're left to work with by October 24.
From there we will have a week and no more to work out the clip order.
Nekocon (for me) begins November 3.

And, in case you ever wondered, I checked the overall ratings of all the Salads.
With a 4.01 / 5, AMVS4 is on top.
AMVS5 has 3.9 so far.
AMVS2 has 3.71.
AMVS3 has 3.66.
AMVS (aka AMV Hell 3.14) comes in last with 3.61.

Second round...GO!

[Deuce Loosely]

Here's the latest time line:

Several cuts were made, a tentative order has been set, and the template for closing credits is there.
Debating whether or not to do full credits and, instead, just introduce the editors featured as in what you'll see at the end.
Total time so far, all inclusive, is 30m35s, which means we have to try and shave around five more minutes (as difficult as this is to do).
Anyway, hope you like what we have so far.
And, if you know your parodies, you'll dig the title sequence...
