Oooh.

Sounds gud!!!

How long will we get to make the AMV though?
(soz if this has already been asked and aswered)

By **Riven_**. 19/04/09, 02:18 pm

I'm hoping 4 hours or something.... >.>

~~amanda keeps joking that she'll make it half an hour... D8~~

By Pyro. 19/04/09, 02:21 pm

-crosses fingers for about four hours, as well-

By **Riven_**. 19/04/09, 02:27 pm

We could try a 30min one just to see ~~how stressed we can all get~~ how it goes...

By Pyro. 19/04/09, 02:33 pm

A half an hour contest would be funny. xD

Can we do the main thing, and a half-an-hour-slap-dash-job contest? xDDD

**Guest** Guest

Maybe we could do both, for people's choice ?

Like you can choose between the Mad 30 min Rush challenge and the normal Four hour challenge ?

And maybe another prize for those who enter into the Mad Rush ?

Like- Congrts your really good at making a AMV in a crazy amount of time .. =p

By Mandie_Chan. 20/04/09, 01:09 am

the 30min thing was gonna be while the judging was going on, thus it would fill in time-ness
*plans ahead*

right i think its time 2 make things more clear for you all:
-there will be a list of around 8-10 songs, once the song is chosen you cant have it (sorry)
-that song must be in your amv for a reasonable amount (i believe in multi songs for an amv so if you like doing that then feel free to do so)
-AMVs should have credits including your name (or amv making name), the song(s) used and their artist etcetc
-Time limit will be 4 1/2 hours (INCLUDING SAVING TIME!) i will allow a little bit extra if saving is taking awhile but please dont go over by 2 much...
-um... must bring your own PC/laptop with your own anime on it. any anime/game(/tv/movie?) will be accepted.
-AMV must be made from scratch! I will want to look at your orginal file (in WMM or Vagas) to check =P

OTHERS:
-$2 fee will be applied for prizes and what not =P
-lunch/tea will either be byo or share (please comment on)

WHEN & WHERE:
at the moment im looking at 1/2 way through this comming term, if you have any dates univalibe then let me know ASAP. It will probably be at Oxford Terrace Baptist Church because of spaceness and freeness and data projector-ness to watch amvs at the end

any thing else i missed sorry >_<;
anything you think is unfair then i might change it
etcetcetc

^_^

hope thats all

p.s alice would love 2 have you. is your brother insterested?

Uhm... Can we have saving time separate from making time, 'cause its always up in the air how long it takes...

(Also: unavailable...)
(Also Also: checking the file doesn't let you see if it's newly made or not...)

BUT HOORAH FOR STUFF! 8D

i dont get the alsos... >_>;

um well i think it's up 2 you guys to organize your time. after 4 hours i'll reccomend you start saving. coz some peoples wont take long to save where as others will take a long time, your fault if its not in on time =P

By Pyro. 20/04/09, 02:39 am

Actually, I agree with Riven-- saving time should be seperate.
I get this feeling I'm not the only one here with an unreliable computer. Mine takes anywhere between one and three hours to render. xD

By **Riven_**. 20/04/09, 02:45 am

^^

Hopefully it shouldn't take that long. I'm not sure how much of a good AMV I'll be able to make in 4 hours....

(are we allowed to use more than one song?? >.> )

By Pyro. 20/04/09, 02:49 am

Usually it only takes that long because of the layering and stuff. x3
So, hopefully, in taking much of that out due to 'omg time limit', the rendering time will be lessened. xD

Riven_ wrote:: (are we allowed to use more than one song?? >.> )

ive answered this many times (have you read any of my posts?)
yes you can use more than 1 song, but you HAVE to use the song given/chosen from my list of songs
make sense?

as for the time limit... im gonna leave it at that sorry
your big AMV makers now so have a time plan eg:
10min song selection
5min rough clip outline
2 hour make
hour render
30min save

you know your own program more than me so if i saay you get 30min save, 30min render etcetc then others who dont know what the heck render is will be doing nothing

each to your own, live with the 4.30 hour ness given =P

oh and is a saturday arvo ok?
i was thinking 2-9ish
(allowing time to set up computers, organizing stuff, ~~making last minute rules that mean i win~~ etcetc)

hm... 30th may? or earlier/later?

By Pyro. 20/04/09, 04:10 am

-crosses fingers that Vegas doesn't do its 'rawr hatechuu' thing where it takes like a million times longer than promised to render-

So you are going to be vage on the A -anime side of things? So I could make a Doctor Who AMV????

By Mandie_Chan. 20/04/09, 04:20 am

yes i dont see why you cant
tho realize that you'll have to explain to me whats going on
*really should find another to help me judge >_<;*

lets just say if you use something i know, it'll be easier for me
but im not gonna stop you from using what you know ^_^

By Pyro. 20/04/09, 04:36 am

It's a widely shared view that, if you make a good AMV, everyone should be able to understand at least most of what's going on without knowing the series. C=

By Mandie_Chan. 20/04/09, 04:39 am

yea true, but i perfer it when you know the characters ^_^

tho while saying that i watched a brilliant amv the other day and i have no clue what the anime is...

By Pyro. 20/04/09, 04:45 am

I think everyone prefers it, but it still shouldn't hinder anything too much if you don't. x3

I hate it when that happens, don't you? I find it really hard to find stuff again when I don't know the anime in it~ Dx

Yeah i agree with this as well.
So I try to do it as much as I can.

I agree that it is always better when you know the characters and the story.

What I do will depend on the song.
I always listion to the song through thinking who is singing this? who are they singing to? Why?

Then i deside what series im going to use.

By Mandie_Chan. 20/04/09, 04:49 am

no its shouldnt ^_^;
but if it does then i'll find another way of judging (thus the reason for wanting a second judge)

hm... but ah well, at least we know there are brilliant amvs out there, sides it would be funny if the anime actually sucked lol

mayb i should talk to the people who judge at geddon. think they would give me things 2 look for?
*ponders*

edit: alice, in the case of your doctor who. if you were to use it, i would ask what you made it about (just to make sure i understand) coz i know im a bit anti >_<; sowi
then if i understand what you were trying to convey then it'll be easier to understand
*make sense?

edit:
should i just not judge and get people on the cnz forums 2 judge?

By Madam Madhatter. 20/04/09, 04:52 am

multable judges are good.

Also when your watching an AMV is its important to watch it as what is happening in the song not what is happening in the scene.
Its les confusing that way if you don't know the series

By Mandie_Chan. 20/04/09, 04:55 am

song i already know ^_^
*is amv maker non-expert*

i even guessed the winner of the chchgeddon amv comp last year (or the year before? *ponder)

I think you should judge, and get a couple of people to come like you originally planned and have them just do something while all of us're editing, then they can help you.

There's an entry on one of the 'Geddon judge's websites on how they judge it, so I'll try and find that for you. C=
