A Road Of Few Productions Project

[Osakaisthebomb]

Okay obviously that last post was late at night and i was very emotional. Let me do it correctly this time.

First of all, there's no need to send the video files via snail mail. Just use yousendit.com to have the videos transfered.

I've seen some of your videos, and while I absolutely love most of the song choices, and I think your editing itself is pretty sweet, they aren't encoded too well. I'd hate to see a cool MEP idea like this get mutilated into a .wmv format...

I'm not trying to bash you or anything, so please don't feel that way. But I'm wondering how interested you would be in letting someone else run the project, while you get full credit for the idea and of course can do however much editing in-betweens or tracks you like. I'd be very interested in running the project, and I'm sure I can talk my sister, silver_moon into helping out too. She knows how to encode very well, so she'd be able to make it look really sweet in the end, and I'd love to make some hawt titles for it, as well as a short track. We've both been a part of MEPs before, and have made a lot of AMVs, so we do know what we're doing.

I guess I don't know what encoding is exactly so I guess I need a lecture on that. I am looking into talking with a few friends on mine to see if they could help me in that subject.

Also I like .wmv mostly because almost everybody has windows media player. I'm not a fan of .AVI because some player can read it and for some odd reason my Windows media player can read it but others with even more updated stuff can't read it correctly(reads it as an audio file.)

I've never experimented with others so I guess I'll have to now. Just give me some insight on the subject matter. I need all the help I can get.

not saying you arnt capable of running this project but I think mabey you should be in a mep befor you make one your self it might help, then agin I dont know if youve joind one befor, if you havnt I think mabey you should let Sierra Lorna. she has done a mep befor and im pretty sure she particpated in the mep so shes made an amv for a mep and ran a mep, if you havnt even been in a mep it mighy be allitle more compicate and sierra said shed give you full credit. my opnion is we let her do the mep and you make a segment for it. im not trying to be mean and I hope you didnt take this the wrong way.

I started an MEP before being in one, and also before reading the stickies (Not the smartest move on my part).

Anyway, I think he's perfectly capable of handling it, if he thinks he's up to it. If not, he could just pass all the files to someone else who can do the encoding, compression, etc.

Downloading a simple codec for reading .AVI files should help most players into reading it. Not much of a problem there. We can always make two filetypes of the final version can't we?

Anyway, I'm interested in this. I have a song called "Just an Illusion" which would work pretty fine for an FMA action segment. (Thou shalt no steal this idea! *copyrights*) And maybe a Donnie McKirkland (However you spell his last name) song too.

Oh, and about the company logo, what if you don't have one? Should I just make some random symbol?

Thanks you so much for that encouragement. I've found out what it means to do encoding. How does Mpeg-4 sound? I have to check if i can export it to that type of mpeg though. I'm going to be working with sora764 on this project. Yes It seems like I should let some one else do it since I've never been a part of a MEP before. But then when would be an apropriate time for me to start one then? I think I should just go ahead and try it. I know I use .wmp files alot but I can try mpeg for this project.

So far I've got one video for this project:
Song:Everything
Artist:Lifehouse
Anime: Kingdom hearts 1 and 2
Editor: sora764

Once you have chosen what you want to do, PLEASE post it on here like the one above. Thank you

You don't really have to do that. It'd just when people are watching the credits. If someone wants to know the name of a song but can't remember the name of the anime in the video. They can just look at the production company name and find it better.


By the way, I'm extremly bad at grammar and such. If I'm not making sense just tell me.

Sorry if I said something to upset you. You yourself said you were unsure of yourself, so I'm trusting what you said.

I can't guarantee the project will come out fancy or even decent. Heck, I can't promise that it will even get done.

It doesn't sound like this project is going to get done, as it is. A lot of MEPs don't get done. As editors, we need to be assured that if we're not going to be wasting our time making tracks for yet another MEP that won't even get done. From what you've said so far, I don't really get what your vision is for this project or what's going to hold it together. I'm worried by the lack of information about the project.

So here's my proposal: my sister and I would like to be the coordinators of the project. We'd like you to be the "project founder" and our "artistic expert" and help out with whatever else you'd like, discussing the rules and everything together. Because I really think you do have some great ideas, just not too much MEP organizing or encoding-related knowledge. This is what happened for the first MEP ever, Mission Improbable, which I was also a part of. It was someone else's idea, but ended up getting organized by someone else. And it got done, and it turned out awesome. For quite a while we've been cosidering running our own MEP, with a project like the one you're planning, one that uses all Christian rock.

I believe it's unrealistic to think you can have someone to finally teach you what the heck encoding even is, while you're trying to organize this whole project at the same time. That would be pretty stressing. Editors drop out all the time, especially if a project isn't too organized, and problems always come up.

It's not that I don't think you can do it, I believe you may be able to make this work, it's just that I know the project will turn out better if someone with more experience and planning skills is organizing it. It's easy to make "an MEP", but it's impossible to make "a great MEP" without the knowledge of how to do it.

What we'd like to do is start a new, more organized start-up thread that has an actual project title and clearer guidelines, but I want to hear what you think first.

lol We can call it AMV Heaven. (Get it? AMV Hell? AMV Heaven? I make myself laugh )

Anyway, yeah, I'm using Just an Illusion by Louis "Buster" Brown.
