I am still looking for people to submit some more live-action videos to amv minis.
So far, interest seems much lower than I had expected. If we don't get some more videos in, I might just cancel that episode of amv minis.

N.P.C.C.

That's surprising that turn out is so low...I know it can be really awkward incorporating your anime style editing skills into live action, but it's not impossible and there is material. Guess I could try one more thing...

UGH', coming up with live action Minis videos is hard . . but if it's going to be cancelled without more submissions, I guess I better think of a couple more ideas. =\

I think I may be the only person who's not surprised with the low turnout. I mean, the folks here generally seem sort of busy and hardly have time to make anime videos for regular Minis episodes, so the lack of clips that require the use of a different medium is no shock.

Isn't also down to the fact that you were asking for videos for amv hell 6.
so If thats the case everyone had probably been busy working on amv for hell 6
but give a little while I'll do somthing for it.

p.s i fought the minis had been cancaled to allow more focus on amv Hell 6.

So we could finally get an episode of Minis that doesn't involve spamming Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Lucky Star, Haruhi, K-On, and Nichijou. I'm quite grateful of that, personally.

I for one would welcome a live-action mini episode, but this is the first I heard of it.

Only obvious joke, the alien guy (the only one) in Star Trek Voyager series who looks like that creature from Thunder cats,

As Zarx stated on another thread, (http://www.amvhell.com/showthread.php?25808-AMV-Hell-6-and-other-stuff&p=383632#post383632) this follows the standard submission guidelines.

why do all entries need to go through dropbox.
I guess it's probably easier for zarx to get the clips.
but i've never used drop box.

Haar
05-30-2012, 09:04 PM
why do all entries need to go through dropbox.
Because it's more reliable than other file sharing services, seeing as a lot of them delete files after a while.

Yes, but using Dropbox is relatively simple.

Just try to think of something funny. You've got a relatively large pool of audio that hasn't been used before to pull from, along with over 100 years worth of footage, so there are plenty of options. The only real limit is what sources you have access to. I actually purchased some DVDs of movies from the 1950s out of a comic book store's bargain bin just for this occasion.

jinzo64
05-30-2012, 09:17 PM
I don't think it's realy the lack of material thats the problem.
It's that comedy is different for everyone just coz i find it funny doesn't mean anyone else will.
But I think we might have over this topic before.

You don't really need to "install" Dropbox, you can do everything through the Dropbox site. You upload a video to your Dropbox account (public folder) and when you right click on it there's an option to get the download link, that's the link you use when you're submitting.

Apart from lacks a joke
and the other may be to long it's 33 secs but I wasn't sure were to lose those 3 seconds and still keep the overall context of the video.

Didn't you say you were attempting to give your videos punchlines?

and the other may be to long it's 33 secs but I wasn't sure were to lose those 3 seconds and still keep the overall context of the video.
I always try to make my clips as short as possible. At the very least, a mediocre 5 second clip is better than a mediocre minute long clip.

But that would eliminate the purpose of having judges. This would just go further and further until standards have completely dropped and complacency runs rampant.

SNAKE PLISKIN WITH METAL GEAR AUDIO

You know Escape from LA/New York, whatever? Its lead is the eye-patch wearing Snake Pliskin, who became the inspiration for Solid Snake (both get eye-patches, both named Snake and Pliskin).

I just wish I had the skills, cause then I'd have Escape from LA footage to Awesome series audio, like "ROAD-KILL SNAKE!", "LIQUID!!"
