Series Audio During The Beginning Of An AMV Good Or Bad?

TwilightChrono · Post by **TwilightChrono** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 12:26 pm

Well, my newest AMV that I am working on, is to the song Always Hardcore by Scooter....at the beginning of the AMV, you have those really soft beats, and then it kicks in with the heavy stuff. the AMV was edited with the series audio in mind, and fits well. It's more of a character flashback/thinking to herself type audio. It sounds great with and without the series audio, but without the audio ending right after the heavy beat, where she yells: "HELL NO!! I OWN THESE BIT*HES!!" and then no more series audio. But right when she says it, the camera zooms away over a vast landscape with her looking out over it. I guess basically what I am asking is. What is your take on series audio, and should I include this or not in my video. It's still in the beta stages, so if you would like to beta it for me, be my guest just let me know. But, it's kinda hard to visualize it without actually seeing it. Opinions?

It's tough, I usually enjoy series audio, but I'm not sure if it would fit right. Like you said, it is hard to visualize without seeing it. My opinion is that do whatever sounds best. I know thats not really helpful but ya...

Well, if you need to see it to form an accurate opinion then I will be glad to let you beta it for me. I really need help with this, as it is a rather important project for me.

Ok, I'd like to see a beta. Just add me on AIM or MSN. Or, just send me a pm with download link

If the audio from the series adds to the story/concept/etc. of the AMV in question, then I'd say it's a good idea. If it were distracting or crippling in any way, then it's not worth it. But yea, it's one of those things that just has to be seen and heard to know for sure.

That depends on if the series music ends up clashing with the amv music

Theres really no music with the series audio. It's mainly just sound effects with the characters talking. The video had been edited according to the series audio, like Gunshots in the audio, matched to gunshots on the screen...but it was also edited with beat sync to the beginning of the song. I'll send a beta to whoever wants to beta it for me. I appreciate any and all help.
