Original Announcement
****New****
UPDATE 11/01:
New Deadline: November 20th

Submission Rules:

The Theme:
This MEP will feature AMVs which include the Psychopaths found in anime, or those who may seem to be violently Psychotic.
The main focus is on the heartless, violent, emotionless monsters who call themselves human and the atrocious acts they perform.
This may include any who kill without discretion.
Although this is not a comedy MEP, a humor oriented clip may be accepted, as long as it's "Dark Humor".
In other words, something you know you shouldn't laugh at and yet do.

Content:
Any amount of blood and gore is allowed. Even non-explicit nudity is allowed. Other than hentai, anything goes and should be fine.

Length:
I don't want to put any specific length restrictions, so as to limit creativity. But the majority of clips will likely be under 1:00min.
So try your best to at least keep it under 1:30 and to keep it interesting. No one likes an AMV that drags on.

Format:
Ideally your video should be 640x480 for fullscreen or 848x480 for widescreen and should be 23.976 fps Progressive.
The preferred method of compression is a "Huffy", "Lagarith" or "UtVideo" lossless AVI, with an uncompressed WAV as the audio.
Although, an h.264 MP4 with 320kbps MP3 or AAC may also be accepted. In this case, I highly suggest compressing it with Zarx264gui (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech31/zarx264gui.html).
If you submit a clip that doesn't meet these guidelines, I'll do my best to work with it still.
But as long as you check the render settings in your editing program, you should be able to meet these specs.

Quality:
Your video should be as high quality as possible, while still meeting the specifications above.
Unless subtitles are "intentional" and "necessary", they should not be present in your video.
No form of a watermark will be allowed. Although if you properly crop the watermark off, and it doesn't detract from the video to much, it should be acceptable.

Uploading Your Video:
Preffered methods of upload.

1. Dropbox (http://db.tt/qqJyYOXe)
How To Upload:
1. Register, then download and install the Dropbox application.

And Shion was afflicted by the Hate Plague that makes everything an overreaction, lol. Takano only suffered said Hate Plague until AFTER her plans fell apart, I believe for most of the series her psychosis was her own, ESPECIALLY in the Manga, where it shows Takano dissecting Rika's Mother...ALIVE. Traumatic Childhood or no, Takano is still one crazy bitch...hence why she is on my list of top twenty anime/manga villains

Well Done, I say. A bold move to blend the clips rather than transition them, but I support it.
Definitely using a standard white noise xition would have been, well distracting.

It also appears that I was one of those last-minute cuts. No worries, but of the 2,
you dropped the one that played better to the people I showed them both to.


Also, not sure why, but seeing 4 of my videos in a row made me laugh.
In that case, you'll probably need medical attention when 6 comes out =)

At least that will have an hour or so of padding. I'll keep the paramedics on location just to be safe, though.

Transition bits are more or less a mark of AMV Hellish spin offs. I've watched a good number of MEPs and I rarely come by those who use a transition other than a fade. I've never planned for this to be an AMV Hell style spin-off, so I decided to go with a fade out/in transition.

Ha Well you wound up being around 40% of the video. I just ordered them in a way which worked well for the transition blendings.

I'm actually surprised no one has mentioned the quality of my Higurashi clip. I made it two years ago, before I'd ever opened this project. I kept planning to go back and remake the whole thing in high quality, but I couldn't find the time here recently and decided to release it as is.

No not realy, it's more like having your hopes bashed.
I guess I can't blaim Law, but clips were long and most of them with were senseless music on expresionless robots.
I was sorta exepting mental pain tears and insanity, not a metal music mash up.
The first clip was sorta what I was expecting, exept I would end at "killed everyone", because the rest went bonkers.
Deadman wonderland is an obvious choise in this project, yet its set with a russian song, not sure weather not undersanding the lyrics is a + though...despite that has masterfull sync.
I don't see the hellsing clip praise worthy, there are scenes far better suited for the lyrics and its looks like a cluster**** in the begining.
Overall: I came here with a box of chockolate to get "what?" slapped on my face.

N.P.C.C.
02-07-2013, 07:34 PM
Hmm...I thought it was alright. Interesting editing though some stuff at times dragged on. I liked how all the clips had an intense feel to them and made the over all project feel...chaotic. Especially with all the metal guitar riffs accompanying those fast as hell frame transitions.

I noticed the clip i submitted didn't make it in but i did recall you saying you weren't sure where it would fit in here so i can agree it would have been out of place.

I never really planned to go the insanity route. A lot of people tend to confuse psychopathy and psychotic. Psychotic is insanity, delusions, etc., while psychopathy is an antisocial personality disorder characterized by some of the things that's in the OP. In fact, the core thing that makes a psychopath is the shallow if not nonexistent emotions. A psychopath is usually not insane or mentally ill, their inability to empathize or relate with others simply makes them think in a self serving way and to commit acts which would be unthinkable to most because of that pesky thing called a conscience. Although, I'll admit, being psychotic and a psychopath coupled together is fairly common in anime. Though, I think Kotomine Kirei is a great example of what a true psychopath is like.

With that said, this project did turn out differently then I had originally imagined. A few clips didn't fit as closely to the theme as I would've liked, but they were still good imo. I also would have liked to have made more myself with newer shows such as, maybe... Shikki, Another, Mirai Nikki, Psychopass, etc., but the ideas just weren't coming to me and I'd delayed the release enough.

Haar

I'm actually surprised no one has mentioned the quality of my Higurashi clip.

That would be as redundant as me asking why the whole project is 480p
