How Can a Vid Be Scary?

[Sephiroth]

A video by Alan Hepner to Tom Waits 9th and Hennepin is the video that i consering the closest to freaky that any AMV has come to. I wish that it was up on the org but it's not.

The first section of the wasteland. Seriosly freaky.

On a more ironic note, I may be one of the only people who actually didn't find that part freaky (I was stuck on the part where the voice first came in, for a couple of hours, which probably desensitized me...)

I think a lot of good scary videos are not really as much horror videos as just good drama videos. Pen-pen's recent Magnetic Rose AMV would probably fall under that; it's the context which accounts for the effect there...

The only AMV to really freak me out though was Kamoc's THISISTHERIGHTHOLE

Is that the stick-figure one with the elevator? If so, then agreed.

No, that's another one, but thanks for reminding me.

Well there is the option of the everpopular flash option of having something silent for a while and then a sudden shriek or high pitched noise and having an appropriate image flash by.

I don't know doing that just seems like it would be annoying to the person viewing the video.

Of course it would, it's annoying in a flash video, I'm just saying that it would work.

I remember a lot of people thinking that would happen with the Lain video that Ian showed at AWA that was just static and shots of lain for lord knows how long. The video made a lot of people very paranoid of something like that happening.

I havn't really seen a movie in a long time thats really had any scary effect so I was wondering how could a vid be scary and if there are any on here.Most things in movies rely on surprise to scare someone.

Try watching Bleed the Sky by Tsukin

SAY NO MOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!

[Krahn Riosto]

If you want a scary video, you might try Bleed the Sky by Tsukin, which is my favorite vid ever. THere's also Mitternacht. Both of them are available on the list of winners from the AMV awards for 2003, or at least in the nominees section.

Not all the time will a scary moie be based on surpize, it could be due to gore and the apperance or background in the movie. But the idea of being surprised works easier and alot better than the challenge of defining horror as more than a sneek attack.
