Zarx, are you disabling the YouTube for playback on mobile devices, or is that just automatic? I'm having to jump through hoops to watch it on my phone, which I didn't have to for episodes 1 and 2 for some reason.

I believe this happens when certain audio tracks are detected. I can't do anything to change it.

I love metal, but this episode seemed pretty weak to me. There were a good number that were well edited, but I was disappointed that a lot were missing the comedy element of the challenge. Only got two laughs out of me this episode. That being said, the two exceptions were 09 and 21, with 09 being my favorite.

Looking over it multiple times. Still want to see the funny as well, but 21 I think did do a nice job of that. Especially with the out of context lyric use. Still can decide.

So far, I can only think of 9, 14, and 21. But I choose 9 because it was funny and it fit the song well.

overall a damn tough choice, however, i gave it to 21. because oh sweet lord did that song fit the clip used, and was very well edited ^_^ 9, 14, and either 18 or 19 made me lol pretty hard, 17 was awesome, but you wouldnt b e going to hell for making that AMV, awesome yes, amv hell material, no

Probably my least favorite of the videos, so far. Some overused scenes, some clips that went too far past their joke (the Metalocalypse "Coffee Jingle" clip didn't need to include the fighting scenes to make a point), and some that didn't make sense to me. I don't recall getting that many good laughs this time, though that may have to do with the fact that I don't listen to heavy metal, also.

Can you make a video that is both metal AND will make people fall out of their chair laughing?Sadly, I don't think anybody quite managed it in this round.

Letters to the editors/ Suggestions/ Me being a dick:

03 - Detroit Metal Cropping - Not bad, fit the brief nicely. Pity you couldn't find better quality video for this entry, but at least you were kind enough to crop out the subs... or at least most of them.

04 - 1P<3onFire - This was alright, it fit, just could have been cut shorter.

05 - Coffee Jingle - This clip should have been cut at 1.28 and played in reverse.
"Do you folks like coffee?" >>> Guy turns into vending machine. Boom. Done.
If you're going to use audio from the most hardcore clip of /0 you really better bring it. Sadly- this entry didn't.

08 - HOTDogs - Of all the episodes and scenes available in this show... did we really need to see this shot twice?:
http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4406/nocf.jpg
Looped even? ...odd choice.

09 - Down with the child abuse - The bleeps really neutered it, but this is a contender for the top 3. The 3:10 mark is probably the funniest moment of the whole compilation.

10 - JoJo's Bizarre foreward - Did we really need 4 seconds to read "[amv hell 7]"?

12 - I was writing "PC" on the paper - You can edit in an overlay of hypnotoad eyes yet you can't remove the warioware borders of Hell3?
Either this is amateur editing or professional laziness.

14 - My Ordinary Hatred of Dogs - Okay. Might have been better if the clip ended 6-7 seconds earlier.

20 - Balls to Rock - Not funny, but entertaining with lots of energy. Possible winning contender if not for the obvious winner.

21 - The obvious winner - Not particularly funny, but the "no way" lip sync made me chuckle.

08-30-2013, 09:09 AM
Ones I liked

02 - K-On
07 - Blitzkrieg
18 - Haruhi-Chan mash-up

I'm not seeing why everyone here and on Youtube thinks 21 is ALL THAT (is it really just because of the "no way"?)

After some thought, I think I'll go with 18

Kaiju
08-30-2013, 01:36 PM
Hmmm...I'm gonna go with ten. Because of reasons.
The Digimon Indestructible one was also pretty clever, and fit in with the characters featured, and the dub voice at the end warranted a grin out of me. Though really none made me laugh or really seemed all that "METAL" to me. Seemed to be more "dissonant" humor with a metal song put to an unfitting anime or vice-versa, I expected this entry to play out like a Metal MUSIC video where the Metal and the videos complimented each other, and was a bit bummed out that most of it was moe-**** played in with metal because "LOL IRONY CUTESY ANIME WITH HEAVY METAL, HAR HAR". Which to me, isn't that funny especially as that joke has been done to death a hundred times before in past AMV Hell entries without much evolution or innovation. Overall, a weak entry all around.

Will do!

You may not like what the nigga is saying/how he's saying it, but there's nothing wrong with him giving his opinion. Whether he scored 0 votes or 100 is irrelevant as you should still be subject to criticism from your peers. NOW, it would be a different story if the dude was just bitter but given that this is his norm and he wasn't personally attacking people but pointing out what he sees as mistakes in their videos that is completely fine. If this was done more, maybe all those **** ups in minis season 2 could have been avoided. That includes my own...

If you're not an editor well then that's just OUTRAGEOUS!

....Seriously though, if that post bothered you, maybe you're better off not being an editor here...THAT post is usually as nice as it gets.


that comment is totaly outragous

Dblitzer
09-02-2013, 02:03 PM
To add my own views on some of the negative feedback about this episode. I don't actually think this is like a really bad episode, or at least this wasn't like some of the earlier AMV minis that I recall not being all that funny and giving me eye cancer from bad editing. That being said, I think what makes a good run of clips is when you have a few standout skits and more importantly a variation of comedic style or intent. This episode seems to have a lot of mediocre clips that lack major comedic punch which are all doing something very similar. The idea that you run with dissonance when doing metal clips isn't inherently wrong and it's obvious why most people did that, it's just that a lot of the video's here don't really make great use of that and it's more painfully obvious when it's repetitive.

You can have a clip like 02, that is a very simple joke, goes by fast enough to not really be grating, and looks nice enough but it really needs other types of clips, particularly more impactful ones, around it to work. I guess this is just a downside to having narrow challenges, an episode like this was unavoidable at some point.

With that said I think I'll abstain voting this round, 21 is good but just doesn't sway me enough.

Thanks for defending my right to free speech there, NPCC.
If there isn't more Jem audio in the future rounds, we will all be very sad.


Nice of SilentChaz to still be criticizing the (clips) in a not so nice way
Whenever possible I will try suggesting improvements on certain clips- in the hope that my words might influence the editors in a small way and maybe help improve the overall quality of this project a tiny amount…
Comments like “I like clip 25” are all well and good, they just aren’t going to help improve anything. One needs praise and criticism to do better.

On a side note- I appreciate the fact editor’s names remain hidden until voting is over, this has allowed me to be frank and honest with my reactions to all the clips so far.

I will occasionally be sarcastic and maybe not nice in my comments about certain clips, but I would argue that some entries have warranted it.
Anyway, I expect to cheer up as the months go by. I’ve been recalibrating my expectation/excitement levels ever since the disappointment of 6.66.
I wasn’t particularly fond of the rounds one and two videos at first, but they’ve grown on me. This round didn’t have me falling out of my chair laughing, but I can see a couple entries slotting comfortably into the upcoming “Best of/Championship Edition 2" compilation.

Why are you complaining about getting 10 votes? Almost everyone else on there got less than 10.

Yeah sorry. I was just so proud of my video. This was literally the most time consuming AMV I made, thus far. Right now, I'm making my 3rd for the 90s, and it actually took a shorter time period than I thought for putting it together. I guess I'm understanding my Adobe Premiere tools a lot more every time I use it.

Then again, I literally took 5th place, which is way better than my entry on the 1st challenge. Like I said, I was too proud to accept such a loss.

Hope I didn't sound like a douche because I really liked the winner's vid. I regret not choosing that one when I chose the Dimmu Borgir clip.

Virgil_Harris
09-12-2013, 04:41 AM
I think their were quite a few good entries this time around and vid 9 does deserve the win, since it almost becomes more of a straight musical comedy skit (21 did a pretty good job in that regard as well). I was impressed with 20 personally, the idea of it was really good; but I think it could have gotten more votes if the execution was a bit better (I'm not familiar with the series, so I apologize in advance if there wasn't much material to work with), maybe by using scenes that featured multiple characters to make it really pop, because the song and series choice was great I think. But in retrospect, I somehow feel deeply disappointed by the fact that in a "metal" challenge, no Alice Cooper or Black Sabbath was used.

Phatpug
09-12-2013, 07:08 AM
I didn't give a damn if mine came in first or last. Although I knew the majority of people would watch this on youtube, I was prepared for youtube's horrible quality on my visually intense AMV. I did really like 9.
