Wow....most were.....pretty bad. I couldn't tell if they fit the rules of fandom at all and if there was a joke.

N.P.C.C.
05-29-2014, 03:24 AM
Hmm...

1: I don't get it. I just don't...were those super mario sound clips i heard? I suppose the editing was solid but beyond that i can't comment because if there was a joke it just flew over my head.

2: Moétal Kombat? Just doesn't do anything for me really.

3: Editing is...decent, but again the joke doesn't really do anything for me even with the fandom displayed. Ending was solid enough though i guess...

4: I didn't really find this funny, but i liked the synching.

5: Didn't expect nostalgia critic audio. It was a strong clip even if i wasn't very amused given i'm not a victim of overuse of "Let it go." What's the big deal? "Do you wanna build a snowman" was way better if you ask me...Nice spot of comedic delivery with that last scene.

6: I really WANT to get this one, but it's just beyond me. I just think i was supposed to take more away from this one than "Twilight".

7: ...This is so ****ing horrible i think this was done on purpose. If so, this wasn't funny, just cringe worthy. Hopefully, the rejects in the next challenge don't reach this level. Last, with this i feel SAO will soon reach "elfren lied" levels of "Oh god again!?"

8: Would have been outrageously perfect if there was a TMZ article with some ****
like "Jem ****s up AMV Hell" or something to that effect. Well, one doesn't necessarily have to be perfect to be outrageous so i digress.

9: This was a pretty fun clip. Kind of a mood whiplash though with it ending like that. I just liked it despite not completely getting a good chunk of it.

I find this installment pretty weak, but whatever. We should already understand that a dud is likely to happen sooner or later during the challenges. As long as we can avoid levels of suck this side of the fox, this level of suck falls into the "tolerable" category at the very least.

1. I guess it could work, if I knew what the hell you were talking about. I see dogs. You like dogs?

2. Fan of fighting, I assume. Execution is poor.

3. Talks about furries. It's alright.

4. What are you a fan of? Death Metal? Soundtrack Dissonance?

5. Talks about people who are sick to death of "Let It Go". Done well. I kinda like this one.

6. I don't get it.

7. Overall ****.

8. It's alright, but it lacks some energy.

9. Giant Bomb was a thing, whatever that was.

5 gets my vote.

To the anonymous creator of clip #7:

Salutations. It seems you need a bit of assistance from a technical perspective.
Read this guide. (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech31/) It assumes you're going to be using DVDs instead of footage you acquired from BakaBT (bakabt.me), but a lot of its info is still good.

After carefully reading that guide, download this codec (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite). Next, look at this post (http://www.amvhell.com/showthread.php?26707-The-Lazy-Man-s-Guide-To-AMV-Editing&p=487303#post487303). It gives shortcuts on the process that speed things up and is more relevant to editing with mkvs. Finally, shorten down the template provided to:

FFVideoSource("%fp%", threads = 1)
#ConvertToRGB24

#BilinearResize(1280,720)

If you follow all of these instructions, possess a relatively good computer, and already have a nonlinear editing program installed on your computer such as Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere (the latter of which I recommend over the former), it should work. If you have any further questions, they can more than likely be answered by Google, but feel free to ask us if it doesn't provide the answers you need.

I do like death metal, but I ****ing HATE K-On. Almost as much as I hate people who like it. So I figured I'd take a little jab at the no-life moe-blob-adoring 2d-obsessed mouthbreathing morons who care more about which girl they can fap to than anything like, oh I don't know, actual personalities that go beyond bare-bones archetypal cliché or good character writing. Hence the song choice.

1: I don't get it, the editing is just clips of Ein and the one moment of lip syncing at the end is not synced at all. Cowboy bebop is one part of Fandom the other I don't know.

2: The music and the clips doesn't go very well together. I see the Idea and its not funny even better edited. Moe and Mortal Kombat Fandom?

3: Editing is ok and the song is about furries. Thats it. Furry Fandom I get it thats nice I get it.

4: Starts of with me asking "Ok where is this going.", it starts to get going and ends. Not much of a joke and not much a clip. Decently edited. Metal Fandom?

5: I don't get the audio realy. Except the clip is very well edited and it fun on some level despite not getting the joke. One problem. The audio is is a little muffled which doesn't help try and take in the joke. I only know from looking at credit this is Nostalgia critic.

6: I totally don't get it except for the sudden pause as a "joke". I don't see a fandom at all.

7: Its not even attempting to be funny which is part of the challenge. The quality is terrible, the editing is dime a dozen on youtube and its not a good clip. However I get it....its a Sword Art Online Wifey X Dude ship.

8: Its Jem and I am too close to this to render a proper judgment. Aside from some of the editing is just a little off. Jem Fandom

9: Fun little clip with some jokes spread about it. Lip syncs a little weird. Unsubtle its Giant Bomb Fandom.

There is some flat clips and some terrible clips. So its down to 2 to maybe 4 four clips worth even thinking about voting.

3) Got a chuckle out of me. Mostly because furries really are..... interesting people would be a nice way to put it....

4) I guess the message here is the mass of otakus that throw money at moe ****, but didn't really come across that clear.

5) ****ing. Perfect.

6) And I'm lost again...

7) -50 DKP for SAO. -100 DKP for such horrendous quality. I can understand if this was someone's first entry, but at least make an effort to make it not look like ass.

8) Am I the only one that's getting tired of this Jem silliness?

9) Way too long, but it at least gets you right in the feels. ; ;

I think the main thing that throws most of the AMV hell regulars is we have seen many clips of K-on and Heavy metal. So we didnt get the joke cos we were going "Oh juxtaposition of cute and not cute again!"

I donno. In regard to video 7 I am starting to think its a meta joke. They made a terrible AMV clip on purpose emulating all the things a bad youtube AMV does. Or it could be a genuine entry with no meta joke......

With more research behind clip 5 I got the joke and now I understand. So aside from a well edited clip its a very good clip over all.

1,2 I don't get them

4. I don't get it, K-on to grunge or something?

7 started great, thought it was a winner when it started (hindsight is a bitch), BUT went on too long and what I thought was a decent clip revealed itself to be a VERY poorly put together clip with weird-ass quality.

Clip 8, it's not nearly as well done as "Outrageous" Chaz's, so no.

9 was a fun clip, but when it went all "Giant Bomb" it lost me.

I'm gonna go with #7, because at least it got what it was aiming for right...

Yeeeeah, this one was pretty much just a big miss... I'm guessing that the biggest reason is probably just how difficult it must be to make a decent fandom reference funny (then again, was that really the best you could do with the festering pit that is furry fandom? You could have mentioned erotic fanfiction circles; those sound like a good source material... Shounenfags? Any of those other ****ed-up fetish groups? Wrestling? Come on, wrestling's got potential, and it isn't exactly as cringe inducing as some other fandoms... Nothing...?)

Worst yet, I'm getting the feeling that I won't even remember a single one of these clips within the next 15 minutes. Let's just pretend this one didn't happen and move on to the "Intentionally ****ty" challenge...

04 – K-Hate –
I do like death metal, but I ****ing HATE K-On. Almost as much as I hate people who like it.
I love your message, Rocka. The clip itself is hardly a new idea (I used K-On! video to metal in the 4th challenge myself) but at least this entry has a different joke in it.
It’s disappointing there weren’t more clips that went the anti-fandom route, like this one.

01 – Kinda sounds like “Pregnancy” – I don’t get the reference and there’s nothing else funny going on in the clip. Bad.

09 – Bomb – I don’t get the reference and there’s nothing else funny going on in the clip. Stop fading out the audio towards the end. Bad.

02 – Moetal Kombat – Poor video quality, poor audio quality, repeated sequence, no synergy, no joke, and the audio fades out at the end…
This is a contender for one of the worst entries ever submitted to these challenges… but that contest will have to hold until challenge 21.

03 – Furrious – Okay, it’s a collection of furries. Where’s the joke? Bad.

06 – Daicon IV – I know you don’t care what I have to say:

YES, someone on ****ING youtube of all places figured it out. Oh man, this brought a tear of joy in my eye.
…because you’ve already won, in your own way. But still- terrible.

05 – I can’t let these imperfections go – Nice lip syncing…

http://i.imgur.com/nLZSjWu.jpg

…but this perspective on the monitor is so, so wrong.

07 – Doing it wrong, wrong – Choice of video and audio source was good (I suppose you wanted something more contemporary than DBZ and Linkin Park), and the suicide-inducing picture quality was brilliant…

But what about hard-subs (better yet- Spanish subtitles)? Black borders? Aspect ratio flubs? TV logos? Pointless video filter FX? Inconsistent switching between 720p and 240p resolutions? Repeated sequences? Video footage shot from a computer monitor through a shaky camera?
You could have added a textbox saying “THIS IS MY FSIRT AMV GUYZ!!1! SAO ROOLS!! LIEK COMENT & SUBSCRIBE!!!1!1!” at the end… or even better- in the middle.

I love the concept, but this was a real wasted opportunity.
Although fair enough- it has inspired some very “fascinating” reactions just as it is.

08 – Imitators gonna mate – I think challenge 19 covered this concept well enough. A sequel wasn’t necessary, but as sequels go- this was alright. Jem stealing the skateboard made me chuckle.

http://i.imgur.com/drP7SAB.jpg

^At least get the scaling right, and what’s up with the TMZ logo appearing and disappearing?

Probably the strongest entry this round, and how sad is that.

In my clip I sat there going "Should I fade audio....should I not fade audio at the end...it would piss Chaz off....FADE THE AUDIO!"

My 80's clip I felt deserved to the Audio fade...also needed it or else the audio would start going off into more lyrics. However my 80's clip already didn't know when to start and when to finish. However seeing Chaz dislike it caused it to stick with me and do battle with "Does this clip need Fade....no....does the fade annoy chaz?...yes...is this a great enough clip to win...probably not.....should I fade just to annoy chaz and get some enjoyment out of my clip?.....yes!"

Its all about ratios of enjoyment man. Now ponder which of the faded clips is mine...

My 80's idea was wonky to implement and this idea it funny as hell to people who are Giant Bomb fans except that was the problem from the start of this challenge, it was to either make fun of a fandom or fail.

I've shown my clip to Gaintbomb fans and they love it. I will be throwing it to the Gaintbomb forums once the votes are finished otherwise I could maybe squeeze alot of votes if I posted it now and askew the votes.

So I know its a very good clip just all the injokes of the clips are well injokes.

For all who dont know, Gaintbomb is a video game review site headed by Jeff Gerstmann and the late Ryan Davis. I have been a fan of Gaintbomb and all they have done for 4 years, they are a large part of my life and most GB fans.

Here is some reasons why I they resonate with me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M-2F_S9Lkk&list=PLA4695BF97E8A6CDC

They did an Endurance run (Lets play really) of Persona 4 early in GB life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4gjSrYwfhI


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXW082c_e1w

So Persona X Gaintbomb is the perfect fuse as already shown by folks doing Persona art of them.

I took the line "try to show something that they themselves are passionate fans of" instead the other successful clips making fun of fandoms. I knew that the Gaintbomb half would fall a bit flat so I put alot of effort in the upfront Persona part, then Gaintbomb comes in thats basicly a huge mallet over everyones head going "THE FANDOMS GAINTBOMB! THIS IS GAINTBOMB PLEASE UNDERSTAND GAINTBOMB! PLEASE!" otherwise it would not be "got" much on any level, no one would know its a Fandom all they would know its just a Persona 4 clip and thats the fandom at work. I could have found Gaintbomb Persona's from the anime probably however I did not feel I would be in the rule's.

This challenge is tough to implement in a positive way, while the other ones people enjoy/get are negative towards a fandom.

As for the downer of Ryan Davis at the end, I honestly could not have taken that out...I tried I really tried however I put that in for myself and I dont regret it even if it was the straw that took a guaranteed victory. After editing this and having all the emotions bubble up over Ryan's passing its therapeutic. I and alot of other Gaintbomb fans tear up and even break down even now almost a year on from his untimely death.

The way Gaintbomb works is personality driven, so over 4 years Ryan felt like a good friend with all the content they put out. Thanks to this project I have pretty much cried myself out over Ryan and feel better for it.

Sadly the overall quality of the challenge drags my clip down and I don't actually get any feedback, other than "damn fade!" and "This whole round was ****!" kinda pisses me off, sorry unlike some people I would like to improve. Is kind of annoying that I decided to join in some lacking challenges and they dont look to improve either.

Well then, if we are all confessing our sins...
#5. Persona 4-ozen
Persona series has a big fan following, but it was a fandom I fell into without any kind of outside introduction. Other clips from past challenges had Persona 4, but they all featured Kanji. He's a great character. Hell, I'm cosplaying him at AnimeNEXT for crying out loud, but I wanted to try something different. Yukiko. Her name means "snow girl" or "snow child," so I took to Frozen as an inspiration, cause that movie was pretty cool and the soundtrack is where the fans are focusing. I originally had her singing the movie version of "Let It Go," and it just wasn't funny. After searching a bit, I happen upon Nostalgia Critic's parody. Hamster wheel spins and Mitsuo is added as a disgruntled viewer. But as far as fitting to the challenge, is there a joke to it? That should be the top priority in making these clips. Mitsuo's frustration? Yukiko becoming the embodiment of refusing to stop singing "Let It Go?" I certainly think so. By the way, lip syncing is a chore, and refitting a video into a screen is an ABSOLUTE PAIN! (Don't know if I'll ever get that one right)

unlike some people I would like to improve.
Your first reply to my post is obviously sarcastic, so I’ll ignore it and begin a sensible discussion starting with ^this one.
I apologise for the dismissive nature of my initial comment. Allow me to be a little more reasonable and constructive-

The biggest flaw of your entry is its narrow appeal. Simple as that.

Adding in-jokes to an AMV to be enjoyed by a select audience is all well and good, but when the enjoyment of a 40-second-long AMV hinges entirely on knowing about a specific, obscure subject like this, that’s just bad thinking.

It’s great that you’ve shown the AMV to GiantBomb fans and they’ve enjoyed it, (if you showed it to people BEFORE submitting- seeking to improve it based on feedback, then I applaud you) but did you show it to non-fans? What was their reaction?

I’ve never heard of GiantBomb before, so I’m obviously not going to get the reference, but I can still enjoy the AMV based on the dissonance/synergy between the video and audio.
In this sense- the highlight of the AMV came at the very start with the “I say this in the straightest way possible” and “If I was a girl” lines, which worked nicely with the images on-screen. I wasn’t rolling, but these first 15 seconds show that you’re a capable editor and you’ve got an eye for comedy.

The rest of the AMV has nothing else amusing or otherwise entertaining going on that I can appreciate. This may be “Challenge #20: Fandom”, but if we were to take away this framing device and played the AMV among the other winning entries, would this fit in with them as a funny-by-its-own-merit AMV?
I would debate: No. This is a celebration of a fandom first, and a funny AMV last.

tl;dr - the AMV is well edited, but unfunny.
An unfunny AMV in AMV Hell/Minis = Bad, in my book.

This is only your second entry, so to help you improve- I can only suggest that you keep a general audience in mind for when you create your next AMV. And please don’t fade out the audio at the end.

I look forward to seeing your next contribution.

Well, that’s assuming you haven’t entered Challenge 21…

========


Have fun with that.
Please assure me that you got the reference.

If that was directed at me- then let me assure you, I don’t support Jem clips any more than you do.

That said- there’s no reason an AMV utilising Jem can’t still be funny or … sigh… win a challenge.

It’s all in the gag and its execution. [/broken record]

I wasn't sarcastic.

Yes limited appeal, however this is my fandom and I expressed my fandom and thus fitting within the rules that was the challenge. I knew this going in and if I wanted to almost guarantee a win I could have chosen generic crap or bashed bronies.

The injokes were supplemental and not expected to be gotten by mainstream. I would be an idiot to expect so.
35 seconds was the minimum for the idea to start well and end well, I even cut 20 seconds of audio for rules on time and I can't show New york, Tokyo and San Francisco using Persona 4 clips.

Also I did show to non fans I got "That was funny, but I don't know what Gaintbomb is." except...thats the rules of the challenge....so I couldnt change.


I would debate: No. This is a celebration of a fandom first, and a funny AMV last



For this challenge, make a video about fandom or what it means to be a fan. I'll leave the interpretation of this up to you. You can make a video about fans/otaku, or just show us something that you are deeply passionate about. This doesn't even have to be related to anime. But remember to keep it funny!

I kept it funny for 15 seconds by your count and it was an expression of a fandom I am deeply passionate about. I think I did far better than most of the other clips, I think my clip is top 4 in quality out of what is here after watch. Winner by vote no I dont think so. Top 4 in votes? We will see.

Compared to winners pah!? yeah right! There is some winners that don't even measure up to the other winner clips.

I can only suggest that you keep a general audience in mind for when you create your next AMV

I know this...IF I WANTED TO GUARANTEE A WIN WITH IN THESE RULES. Except the challenge was Fandom with the choice of expressing my fandom.

This is the problem I have with your complaints, your throwing out the challenge rules altogether. Except the challenge rules was put in place to funnel everything down this path of injokes and people not getting it.

FrankerZ is a twitch in joke. Moe Kombat...is a personal in joke to the creator. K'on Dethklok is a bit of an in joke that needs some thinking. Sword art online....wasnt funny unless its a meta joke on fandoms. Ghost in the Shell 2 Twilight....thats a huge ****ing in joke apparently for an episode of X files! Jem hate AMV hell in joke.

This challenge should have said "Make an in joke even if its not funny." Since thats what the majority went with.

The only two clips that people get is Furries and Let it go. With people going "Eh it wasn't that funny." So for general appeal I battered people on the head at the end a little more than being obscure...like all the other ****ing clips.

So I think its a little bit unfair to compare my clip to the winner of past AMV Hell minis. Thats like a song going "Daddy I drew my first dog!" and this father says "Sorry son, its not as good as the four dogs playing poker painting..."

The only constructive criticism is the flat based simple "the AMV is well edited, but unfunny." everything else is not even picking at the fiber of the challenge instead, ignoring the challenge and pretending it was submitted to AMV hell 7.

This is AMV hell Mini Challenges were the rules were

If these were not the rules I wouldn't have made that clip, no one would have made the clips they made. Thus the head scratching would be gone, I am ultimately saying that the main flaw with ALL the clips was breed by the challenge itself. Cool idea on paper failed in implementation, as shown by the lack of submitters and lack of good clips overall.

At this point forget I made a clip, my clip doesn't exist. Your judgment of my clip isn't my complaint, I am complaining about flawed view for judgment on this challenge.

PS I may have put fade on my rejected clip and I can't check because I hated it so much I deleted it from everything, only to have to ask Zarx to see if he kept it and he did. Their might be fade.....I cant promise.

06-08-2014, 01:58 PM
You’re saying that you weren’t being sarcastic when you said the fade-out was added “just to annoy chaz”?

Cute. Looks I gave you too much benefit of the doubt, Aky. You’re a child.

I could start omnislashing your post above, but honestly, there are far too many grammatical and phrasing errors that most of the points you are trying to make just come across as incomprehensible, and I’m not trying to be funny or insulting when I say that. So I’ll keep this short-

Your defence is essentially this: “The challenge brief/ rules were too constrictive.”
I suppose you’ll be blaming your editing software next.

You seem to be a fan of quoting the rules, so please- highlight the exact text that convinced you of this:

the challenge rules was put in place to funnel everything down this path of injokes and people not getting it.
Because I don’t see anything of the sort. Nowhere does it say:

Remember to keep it funny!... but only to the fans of your chosen subject!

You were free to create an AMV with a broader appeal, but unfortunately- you were far too hung up on your own interpretation of the rules this time around.

You still did a decent editing job and (apparently) your intended audience enjoyed your AMV, so well done.
Claim that small victory and don’t go blaming the challenge brief for you own failure to produce a broader-appealing AMV next time.

You missed the part were I said. I knew my clip has low appeal, I did the opposite of what every one else did, I didn't care about winning. I understand the reception, that not the issue. Which you forget because you keep thinking I am stomping my feet going "I WONT WIN! I WONT WIN!" which is farther from the truth.



At this point forget I made a clip, my clip doesn't exist. Your judgment of my clip isn't my complaint, I am complaining about flawed view for judgment on this challenge.


I dont care about any judgment of my clip right now thats a covered subject, that conversation is dead. I used it to pick at your judgments and the challenge's output, which only made it look like I was being childish and defend my clip.

I find flaw with your judgment of this challenge by your acts of forgetting the challenge rules and not taking in that the rules may be the main flaw for ALL of the clips good or bad. Because just look, a lack of participation we only got 9 clips a number of people went "Eh....I cant think of anything within the rules and would be funny." hell most of the people in the challenge apparently went "Eh..I have an idea that fits the rules."

With the entire challenge being such a wash from the start by people's lack of idea's and participation does this not mean the idea was flawed from the start? I still say my that the challenge's outcome would be the same 9/10 if this was repeated.

Also to help you chaz read what I am saying and I will help you read this one by keeping it simple.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY CLIP. FORGET MY CLIP. I AM NOT BEING BIASED AND DEFENDING MY CLIP. I WAS PICKING ON YOUR JUDGMENT METHOD USING MY CLIP AS AN ON HAND EXAMPLE. WHICH IS WHY YOU WOULD THINK THIS, HOWEVER TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE OVERALL QUALITY ENTIRE CHALLENGE AND QUESTION IF IT WASN'T TOO QUEER OF A REQUEST AND WOULD ALWAYS TURN OUT THIS WAY.

Easier to read now? I wanted better entries from everyone in this challenge. We got 9 clips and it was ALL bad, so like I say again...just because I made a clip in this doesnt mean I am biased as soon as I criticise the rules.

If you still think I am defending my clip then YOU'RE being biased Chaz because you think I am being a child and throwing a tantrum to defend my clip because I criticize the challenge. I would say the same even if I did not make a clip for this. Look at what we got it was a bad challenge and I think it was flawed by the rules.

PS Have a little bit of decorum about yourself Chaz and please sympathise with my dyslexia and stop using that to pick on me with. I was practically illiterate in putting my thoughts to text until 7 years ago. Kind of a tender subject.

There is no way for Zarx to enforce that rule. (that won't cause ****) However, he takes the effort to hide our names and put them back once voting is finished all while nicely suggesting we be silent. Since the general idea is to prevent bias in the voting everyone has adhered and possibly benefitted by this unwritten rule for the most part and that alone surprises me.

As for me, go back through the challenges and name one time (buddy challenge doesn't count) where i formally outed myself as the editor of a clip during the voting process. Note that this has no bearing on whether or not the clip i did is easy enough to guess. I'll still STFU regardless.

Pretty much a self homage to that last minis S2 clip, The TMZ photoshop job couldn't have hurt either...

...If Guthix got on your nerves that much, he did his job. Now, don't you want to start making better quality videos to make him shut the hell up at least?

That changes nothing, except for maybe what kind of sexual comments we make around you.

*edit* not really sure THAT will change too much, either....I didn't think it would make a difference. I just wanted to put that out there because the beginning of their message made it seem like they weren't sure...

^this. Guthix is a troll. Nothing less, nothing more. His sole purpose for his existence is to drag others down as much as possible. If you care enough about his opinion to have your feelings hurt, then he got what he wanted, and you lost the game in which the only winning move is NOT to play at all. Best (or perhaps worst) part? It's all on you, not him. No matter how much he wants to, or how much he CLAIMS he can, he cannot FORCE you to actually give a **** about what he says. It's up to YOU to decide whether his words hold any meaning or not. Don't like said words? Then stop giving a ****.

It was my friend's. He wasn't so bad on me surprisingly, but still harsh. I took what he gave me far better than my friend did. He came to me after that bashing. I suppose I am the type of person that people go to when upset. Also to answer your question, I would love to shut him up and make him get his head out of his ass.... Yeah, I am not typically like this, I just few like blowing off some steam that came from a stressful day....

"Anger" is an Outrageous motivator, isn't it?Lol, yeah it is. Anger does wonders sometimes. Oh the wonders of anger. Anyways, what is your opinion on challenge 22? Country music, really? I have an idea for what I could do, but it is driving me insane because I really don't like country music much...

Having issues just to solve them in the nick of time, or just make them worse. I suppose I will figure something out be it stick to this idea or go with something else... Either way, I don't think I could do worse than I did this time around. Even for trying to do bad, I admit that that was ****... Oh well, you win some you lose some. No shame in at least trying.

and now that we're starting to get back on-topic....

I'm actually quite surprised nobody did a "boob montage" video, or even a "panty-shot montage". Kinda curious how many (unearned) votes I would've gotten had I decided to go that route. (I still don't have any regrets in NOT doing so)

Lol, why didn't I think of that. Just kidding, I know darn good and well why I didn't do that because that is not how I do things... I have never been the kind to do something like that and don't intend to. Do people have no shame?

We have shame. Unfortunately it only extends to the "holy laws" of setting cartoons to music.

Shame is one reason I decided against it.

Although the main reason was still "the idea sucks, and has been done before anyway."

I feel like I may be one of the few who are like that on here if not the only one. Granted, I have done a stupid clip of something similar to that of a "boob montage", but it was mild. It was also very much a piece of crap that I would rather forget about... Going for the boob montage is so not my strong point. It is a major weakness... But seriously do those kinds of videos really do that well in these challenges?

I don't think anyone's tried in these challenges yet, although it has appeared more than once in other Hell videos.

Like I said, it's been done before, and I doubt I could come up with anything to make it unique or "better".

People can be so weird, strange, or perverted. Whatever you want to call that, but hey if done properly I suppose it could be funny. Could being the key word.

Aw, why are you trying to deny my proudest moment (http://www.amvhell.com/showthread.php?27855-AMV-Minis-Challenge-16-WATCH-amp-VOTE!&p=522262#post522262)?
I don’t think Guts has never bashed one of my clips. I’m actually starting to feel left out.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO IMPROVE?


How in god's name did you edit the borders in 4:3 with ****ty vegas?Sorry, I can’t help you out there. I don’t have Vegas. Or After Effects.
I do my editing in Avidemux, and supplement it in 3DS Max when the project gets really complex.
I guarantee nobody here (or anywhere) can say they use 3DS Max as a video editor.
Although, I can’t speak for OutrageousChaz…


I will give [N.P.C.C.] the benefit of the doubt for now.

[N.P.C.C.] is one of the very few trustworthy individuals here.

^this. Guthix is a [("troll"*)].
translators' note: what the **** kids?


I can't think of anymore punctuation marks to put there. Christ kids, first hipsters gets a sudden change of definition and use and now trolls. What next? memes themselves? Oh wait...

I'd also like to take this time to explain my clip(clip #6 if you're too lazy to look at credits) for those that are still lost about it and haven't heard my explanation yet.
The "fandom" being examined here was cyberpunk.
The joke here being(more of a nod and reference but whatever):
- the video source was obviously Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. This being a cyberpunk film
- the music used was Twilight time by The Platters.
- aforementioned music was used in a cyberpunk themed episode of The X-files called Kill Switch.
- aforementioned episode was written by 2 of the pioneers of cyberpunk in western literature. William Gibson and Tom Maddox.
- You can also consider the way the music was played as a bit of a nod to the episode specifically. Since the music was played by a heavily encrypted CD containing a virus to track down and kill a rogue A.I. whenever it was put into an average CD player.

yes, definitions of words change ALL THE TIME. There's also this thing called "slang". Don't like it? Tough ****. You're on the internet.

If you absolutely can't deal with it, then get off the internet....and the planet, while you're at it. IRL people use changed definitions and slang all the time as well.
