U is for UGHUUUUU
2011-01-07 16:38:52
When I make AMV's, I try and walk away for about 2/3 days after a lot of progress so I can make sure I enjoy it still. Just walked back into my V-Day MEP track, and I about gagged. >_<
Although it's definitely salvageable. :D

C is for Code's Videos of the YEAR 2010
2011-01-05 17:41:33
It's that time again! With the VCA's fast approaching, it's time for my yearly rant on the best videos of 2010!
Please note I had to have seen the videos for them to make it into these awards, obviously...
_______________________________
Best "Ruined" Video: Shape of My Heart : Maricela
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=174527
I give this award out of sadness. The video itself was FANTASTIC and probably one of the better romance videos of the year. But the effects and watermark on top of it just absolutely DEVASTATE it. Take this as a nice reminder to all editors. SAY NO TO WATERMARKS.

Best "Unique but not really Uniqe" Video of the Year: Longed for Him, Got Him, Shit - godix
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=179243
Really nice attempt at something "unique", but who self admitted it had been done before. It was a really nice romance video with nice pacing/storytelling by utilizing some really nice panel effects. It was also interesting to watch and interesting to see develop.
*****
Best "FUCK YOU STEREOTYPE" Video of the Year : Walking on Shonen - hbi2k
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=178196
Who says DBZ can't be entertaining anymore? Castor Troy? Well, I guess he does, but that's not the point! The video was a really interesting take on DBZ and focused on a much under-appreciated romancing ship. More importantly, it was entertaining to watch and even more entertaining to see over and over again.
*****
Best "Fake Anime Opening That's Actually Better than the actual opening" Video of the Year : Persona 3 Colors of the Heart - Yorae
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=178307
Seriously... This AMV probably had more work into than the actual opening for Persona 3. Ok, not literally, but you get what I mean.
The effects work was over the top and well executed in a great and entertaining manner. The intergeneration of still images was VERY impressive and created the illusion of it actually being the opening itself made from scratch.
*****
Best "AMV That Needs to be sent to FoxNews NOW" Video of the Year: Phuck Yew - Kenzichu
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=175687
Just watch it and you'll immediately know what I mean. ;)
*****
Most Watched Video of the Year : Crossroads - Fa
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=178728
While it's nothing overly original, it was VERY entertaining for a con opening, and did a great job of really capturing the vastness of the anime culture while creating an entertaining piece to watch. Like I said, I watched it more than any other AMV of the year. iTunes proves it. XD
*****
Best Use of an Entire Anime Series : 493+ - Hagaren Viper
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=178544
Oh come on. How can you do more justice to an entire anime series than by showing all of their most prominent characters. All 493 of them. >_>;
No, seriously, it was immensely entertaining and had fantastic scene selection with an even better concept.
*****
Best "Zombie" AMV - Don't Feed the Teenagers - KireBlue
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=179180
With HSOTD now out, prepare for a flood of zombie amv's as the resurgence of games like Deadrising 2 hit the markets worldwide.
Of all the zombie-induced AMV's of the year, this was the most entertaining to watch [at least in my opinion]. It had its flaws, but it captured the very ESSENCE of zombieness. BEATING THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ZOMBIES WITH EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. <3
*****
Best "Damnit. I got Fired for watching this at work you bastid" - A Pithy Display of Wit and Candour - kapparomeo
Ok, I actually didn't get fired, and I didn't actually play this at work, but you can just see how that could be possible.
For a very unique title, utilizing the hilarity of the series of Panty/Stocking/Garterbelt created a hilarious enjoyment that could only be described as "LOL" in its purest form.
*****
Best Collab : Airplanes - Mkid/Starlsy7
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=177062
When you can't tell where one editor begins and another ends, you can tell its a good collaboration. More importantly, when you make FFVII AC entertaining again, that's even a better example of good editing. Great mood, great atmosphere and even better editing as a whole.
*****
Best Video Game AMV : Children Go On a Journey With optmistic Outlook - Hagaren Viper
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=174559
Oh come on. It's pokemon in its finest!
But DAMN those credits are long.
*****
Best "colored" AMV: Infect Me With Your Love - Asylum
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=178962
Since Kizanzi's blue period, every year we seem to get a monocolored amv. This year, we got a fantastic red AMV with some very nice symbology and editing behind it. One of my favorite AMV's of the year, even thought ITS TOO DAMN SHORT DAMNIT. >:/

M is for MEP
2011-01-04 03:50:44
Glee MEP is almost done. <3
Disney MEP is starting up with some fantastic things. :D
Lot of nice people I'm working with too. Might actually make this next semester somewhat surviable. XD

M is for Mass Effect 2
2011-01-03 00:32:51
BEST GAME THAT HAS EVER BEEN MADE EVER.
Earthbound pales in comparison to this sucker. After obsessing over it for the past several weeks, I finally attempted the suicide mission. Best. Final. Mission. Ever. <3

H is for Hagaren
2011-01-02 13:56:10
GAH DAMMNIT, just edit the video. I seriously doubt you'll hurt my or Nygma's feelings. I have to go with who signed up first, so don't take it personally. XD
Did editing Digital Phenomenon hurt the feelings of those that edited previous Phenomenon videos? I dun think so. :D
____________
Meanwhile, I need to start editing my V-Day track. My previous one sucked badly. XD
