Commerical Video - Noir DVD Vol 7 Omake

[Rozard]

Sweet, Rozard was telling me about this. I ordered my dvd online last week, should be here in a day or two. Can't wait ^_^

Rozard told you eh?

Well considering those who knew weren't supposed to say anything...

I don't remember Ian telling me not to tell anyone. I didn't even know what it was for until AWA when I asked him. He just said "Someone asked him to do it." Anyhow, the only reason I told Corran Production was that he's a big Noir fan like myself. I think I lost my beta of the video, too, which makes me sad

THis is an interesting moment. On the one hand we now have AMVs an an actual extra, on the actual product. On the other hand AMVs are one step closer to being more corperate. Whatever happens, happens.

*raise hand* Question about limitations.

Exactly how resticted are you with your creativity? If you can't do any kind of "manipulations", does that include color inversions/black and white or any kind of flashy "effects" similar to what you see in movie trailers? I really don't know what kind of limitations are put on anime licenses so I'm rather curious as to what you are bound to work with.

No colour inversions allowed. No photoshopping, lip flap removal, masking or anything like that.

It really was justr "all cuts and fades" however I think all of us stretched that interpretation a little. So for example I did a fade to white instead of to black and the others used black flashes. It was just an extension of fading and cutting to allow for a greater amount of techniques. I also faded slowly to make overlays under the interpretaton that a partial opacity is just part of a fade.


As for the commercialisation of amvs, that's honestly not a concern It was just a bonus extra on the DVD - I didn't sign a contract saying I couldn't still make amvs like I always do... I just signed one saying the video I'd make would belong to ADV. It's just like commisioned art - it doesn't stop anyone from being individually creative when they want to be.

Kinda ironic really. While it is a form of recognition, there are many draw backs. For starters you need to fondle the disk untill you find the right easter egg just to view it. And if you ever put it on the donut you'll get your head beat in by ADV.

Though honestly, I think you could beat them back pretty good. Kicking in the crotch isn't unfair, it's efficent.

What's also funny, is that he did this for a beloved anime. Like, say, if ADV approched ErMaC and asked him to do a video using, and for the Live Action Evangelion, we'd put his head on a stick and march threw the forums. ^.^

Well yeah, you're not supposed to have said anything . Ian told me, you just forgot j/k.

No harm done anyway...
