Instrumental Anime Project

Yep, besides - I'll be endorsing the project once again once I upload that updated version of Wasteland on local.

And I liked that comparison of Wasteland to Ararat... it does have something to it. More exotic landscapes and beat-synched gunfire and explosions and people getting shot set to a long instrumental.
Not to mention, cheap photoshop layers

Yep, it'll be good when it's out. Now I need to think of a new idea for when my exams are done.

Sorry - I think I'll have to take the server down for a few hours this evening - project work.

Good luck with that delete request. I've had two of those outstanding for about a month now - on videos that I re-released assuming the originals would be gone quickly (a lot of codec issue stuff).

Lots of banners. Wow. And I guess you do have a point with the "ongoing performance" bit, Pen-Pen. It kinda does work when you look at it that way.

Oh - and I'm not so sure it's just the encode quality people are talking about with Wasteland, so much as the video as a whole.

Oh yea, a couple of small suggestions in terms of the project webpage:

1) Since there's no more 16:9 rule, it's probably a good idea to get rid of that

2) Add a direct link to the thread, perhaps? (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=31924)

3) It might be a good idea to list the current/currently completed tracks...

good suggestions on the website.

Has anyone seen the children project website?
[quote=DOKool]Anyway, I'd always toyed with the idea of doing an AMV to Children. Unfortunately, well, it's a 7-minute song, which makes a solo-effort near impossible. [/quote]Dear lord yes! Seven minutes that's, that's... Inconcivable!

We did go about the whole multi editor thing kind of backwards didn't we. Instead of a lot of editors doing very short segments we have a lot of editors doing really long videos

. I'm starting to get the feeling that no one has done anything like this before. The animixes are long but it's not quite the same thing... Kinda makes you wonder about the reaction it will get: "I've never seen something like this" or "A 45 minute video? Who would watch that?" Guess there's only one way to find out.

/end random speculation

[qoute="pen-pen2002"]modified banners that we can modify[/quote]Yeah, I can talk, really....

I just got the project and will see it in a little while.

Well, really, it depends on the level of editing involved. For me, the rule is about 3 hours of editing per minute of video at least. The Wasteland was about 4 though. But still, that's about my time.

But some of the more 'techy' editors can easily spend a lot of time with stuff. You know, 20 hours per minute of video or more.

I've realized myself to be the complete 'KISS' editor. Whatever I do, it's always simple, and if I do something fancy, I cut corners (or cut squares out of a grid, if you like *cough*).

***

7 minutes for one person isn't too much though, and it all depends on the music and what you do with it. On the other hand, 11-15 minutes I consider out of my own range. I'd love to do an AMV to one of King Crimson's longer, drawn-out instrumentals, but I think it might also take a multi-editor project (both because of the length and complexity of editing that would probably be required).

What'll happen with this? I don't know, but I wouldn't have many reservations about getting something like this (were I an uninvolved viewer). Eh, I understand if it was all one piece all set to the same beat - that could be kind of a drag. But given the sheer variety of visuals and music involved, this shouldn't be a problem.

anubis: Another Evangelion video won't hurt. The Wasteland is the only one using Eva.

rose4emily: the AVIs WMM puts out aren't frame specific, so the video gets off synch at parts, but i'll see what i can do.

pen pen: that's a good point, we are in a sense doing a new version of fantasia. erm, i like the sound of Animasia a bit more, but we could call it some edition of Fantasia.

as for the length of this video, it's going to be unlike anything else here i suppose. Viewers will need to approach it more as a full-length movie or maybe an extra long episode rather than a music video.

i downloaded bryal's video, and pen pen and oto's latest. i'll watch em tonight. maybe play around with the banner.

Am I way too late with this one ?

Going to ask the stupid question ,but, whats going on?
No details on the main website... Can I send anything
in 16:9 aspect as long as it's Instromental?

Actually, I was just mentioning a need for updating the site earlier.

1) The 16:9 rule is now gone, as far as I know.

2) Well, as long as it's an instrumental video that fits the content guidelines (no excessive violence/hentai) - yep, anything instrumental should do.

Well, guess I'd better start digging out classical cds unless
the theme to Night-Rider counts as classical
