[Son-Michael]

cool. Can't wait to see it.

[Lights Out, God Help Me]

Sexcellent. I've been looking forward to this.

[Rastar]

OMG, this episode is HILARIOUS!

Everyone did a great job on this episode and should be proud :)

[abyssion1337]

the was really good, I liked it; that being said it's constructive criticism time:

1. I didn't like the opening that much

2. fortunately you have to go pretty far in to find a clip I didn't like; it was the azumana strongbad clip, it was just kinda lame

3. the next clip was the under pressure clip, it wasn't bad just not anything special.

4. next up was the trigun clip: it was more annoying than funny

now for the clips that I thought excelled

all of the other ones, except the azumanga fish heads: I mean they were all well above average so all in all very funny, everyone did a good job

[Lights Out, God Help Me]

SHHHH. You shut your filthy mouth!

-goes and cries in a corner-

[Zarxrax]

Under pressure and the trigun one were some of my favorites :p

I like silly jokes like the under pressure one :p

[abyssion1337]

ok but seriously I didn't hate that clip just thought it could be a little stronger

[scarmullet]

When I saw my name in the credits, nearly cried. Been a fan for so long, was going to make a clip for /0 but my compy at the time didn't have the HDD space to warrent ripping a DVD.

I downloaded :-)

*is wounded to the quick, stands up defiantly* Is that all ya got?! XD

But really, I accept said criticism. Nothing can get me down. Not with the surge of excitement that rushed through every fiber of my being upon seeing this vid.

Rock on, everyone! You did an awesome job! Theme song/opening was bad-ass!

Favorites: Aqua Teen Hunger Force clip, elevator music clip

[ClosedPool]

I actually enjoyed the Azumanga Strongbad one.

Personal favorites: Elevator Music, Under Pressue, Trigun Southpark, All my friends are dead.

They were really all great! (I didn't get the bleach one though.)

(Note: I hold my clip up there, but don't want to be arrogant. 0_<)

the shinigami in bleach are a lot like the MIB. think about it: they both wear black, erase people's memories, and protect the planet.

i know it wasn't the funniest one in the amv, but i thought it was worth a laugh. :)

[Filleraol]

ah woot, it's out :O
better download it quick!

Edit: ahh watching some new amv hell material really felt great, I really liked it
Nice job with the opening ^^

[Doomimus]

Any thoughts on uploading this to YouTube?

[Zarxrax]

Any thoughts on uploading this to YouTube?
I attempted to upload it, but it said the video was rejected for "being too long", which is complete bull****.
I've given up on youtube, as they block all the other amv hells from being posted as well.

Maybe WMG's just having a hissy fit again.

It's funny, actually, because several of the AMV Hells are still there with the sound and everything. Go figure.

[Kyle X]

The link to the "Download" page under the AMV Hell / Minis menu doesn't work.. is it supposed to link to this thread?

[Zarxrax]

Ah, I didn't make that page yet. I'll probably do it today sometime.

[Lights Out, God Help Me]

Favorite clip: Pressure.
Least favorite: cream filling.

The cream filling one was just a little too long, but the payoff was still good.

[Animegirlzzzzzzz]

Wow!
AMV Hell Minis? This site is now officialy trying to milk all life left out of the series...
AND I'M LOVIN' IT!!!
(LOL, product placement.)

[drew199321]

WOOHOO! THX 85 TONS!!!! *crash*

[Hoodoo]

WOOO! LOVED IT!

EXTREMELY proud to be part of this project and I'll be making more as soon as my editing program decides to stop being a butthole :3

[ClosedPool]

Least favorite: cream filling.

Ahahahaha! I was afraid someone was gonna call me on that! Still, appreciate the criticism.

If I make another clip, I'll try to make it shorter >.<

[Lights Out, God Help Me]

Ahahahaha! I was afraid someone was gonna call me on that! Still, appreciate the criticism.

Don't get me wrong, it was still funny, but making it ten seconds shorter would've made it a lot better.

[JediMaster80]

I've given up on youtube, as they block all the other amv hells from being posted as well.

I know, it sucks. The WMG disabled the audio of some other AMV Videos, including the funny Haruhi Hell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIhP115gzus) Video.


Maybe WMG's just having a hissy fit again.

It's funny, actually, because several of the AMV Hells are still there with the sound and everything. Go figure.

The WMG can just go f*** themselves for all i care.
It's not like we are stealing them. We are free to use them, as long as we aren't selling them for money or trading them.

I gave up on youtube awhile ago. They are getting way to strict, to anything Anime or AMV related, as far as i can see.
I will probably only upload game videos on youtube and will upload anything Anime Related on MegaVideo, since they don't care.


*Back on Topic:*
The AMV Mini was funny. It made me laugh a lot.
Keep up the good work on future episodes.

[Oghma]

Wow. Not only did 2 of my clips make the cut, but one of them is the First Clip. I am honored. Good work to everyone! Thanks to everyone involved in this project.
Favorite clip: Reagan Smash!

[Tazuto]

When I saw my name in the credits, nearly cried. Been a fan for so long, was going to make a clip for /0 but my compy at the time didn't have the HDD space to warrent ripping a DVD.

I downloaded :-)

I would love to know how you feel but none of my 5 clips made it because i dont know how to ****ing use/find/download torrents D<

[NLAlchemist]

i like it it was great.

[Hoodoo]

I would love to know how you feel but none of my 5 clips made it because i dont know how to ****ing use/find/download torrents D<

download Bittorrent and open the downloaded files through it


Takes a lot of the hassle out :)

[Issitheus]

I should upload every AMV Hell to Youtube, since people are too dumb (or just uneducated in copyright laws) to realize that AMV Hell videos are legal.

yea thanks for uploading amv hell 4

[Doomimus]

I propose we have a session dedicated exclusively to constructive critique on the first AMV Minis. Namely, we go more in-depth on what we liked or didn't like. More importantly, we should cover why we liked or didn't like it and offer suggestions on how to improve upon it.

Who's with me?

[abyssion1337]

I am of course, I consider myself a good critic

[Lights Out, God Help Me]

I'm with Yog-Sothoth, count me in.

[abyssion1337]

you follow Yog-Sothoth, a shame, Nyrlathotep does not approve

[Lights Out, God Help Me]

Nay, I follow neither. Cthulhu's dreams beckon me from his slumber in the underwater city of R'lyeh.

[abyssion1337]

there are much worse choices

[Lights Out, God Help Me]

Of course there are. No voice is sweeter.

[Hoodoo]

you follow Yog-Sothoth, a shame, Nyrlathotep does not approve

WHOA WHOA WHOA...... were you on the Blackwater raiders server on WoW?.....

[Animegirlzzzzzzz]

I'm in.
I has mad critique skillz!!!!

[Kyle X]

Ahh, I forgot to mention how much I liked it in my first post, because that's what everyone else was doing! Watching another AMV collection with that familiar burst of static in between was nostalgic for me, and I laughed openly at almost all the clips.
I would like to say, "Great Job" to the contributors and the organizer(s) alike.
AMV Minis 2 will only make the sun shine brighter for me.

[NodMan]

Awesome beginning and awesome ending. Funny parts here and there so over all good stuff ladies.

[Tempest]

YAY, Its out. Just watched it and found it a great watch. Plus i get to geek out to seeing my own work with everybody elses.

[abyssion1337]

well starting with the first clip then: it was really good, it's reminiscent of the use of ATHF at the beginning of amvhell 0 and it was brilliant in its simplicity: overall very funny

I can see about hosting it like we are the other amv hells at the Simgirls forum if you like.

Downloading the file right now and am eager to watch it. ^_^

Mik

[Ken-Chan]

Just watched it and it brought me many smiles i enjoyed probably all of the clips but they varied in awesomeness, hearing the men in black tune again in so long brought back some memories . Well good job all who contributed

[get_mik]

I liked it very much, but for some reason either the song is supposed to be like that... or there was something wrong... the opening and ending credits, first parts of them the song seemed a bit... out of tune? I don't know how to describe it...

Mik

[Ken-Chan]

i know what you mean but i think its supposed to sound like that i actually like the intro and ending

[jet6593]

That was awesome :praise::praise::praise::praise:

Some media players crank your audio up real high. Try a different player.

Or, if that's not the case,then my music is just too odd for your tastes.

[FinnTheCat]

I loved it. My favorite was the 'all my friends are dead' one. I do think the opening theme is a bit odd, but nice.

[scarmullet]

Hey Zarxrax,

Hows Episode 2 coming along?

[Zarxrax]

It's coming.
It's all a matter of waiting until enough good videos are there.

[Zarxrax]

There are almost enough videos for episode 2 now.
But... out of 13 that have been accepted so far, only 5 use songs.
I really hope more people will submit videos that use songs.

[scarmullet]

I have one that I have been messing with.

Audio: Turn, Turn, Turn (For Everything, there is a Season), By the Byrds
Video: Azumanga Daioh ending.

The problem is, the audio was recorded to my computer from my 45 of the song.

[asterling01]

Can't wait for the next one! the intro I felt was rough but its the first one, so I'm not terribly concerned.

just one thing though.... EVA-01 does not = Cringer!

Your Welcome.

[asterling01]

lol, no offense, the grainy effect was a good touch, but comparing the closest thing to a god that humanity has made and a green tiger that cowers in fear when anyone goes BOO...

...yeah I lost my train of thought....

How do we know that Eva unit 1 isn't really a coward. Maybe it shares the Same emotional problems as Asuka, putting on a tough exterior to cover a soft and chewy center.

[scarmullet]

Well, I have contemplated doing the entire opening for He-man with Eva, and making Pen-Pen Kringer, I think it would be a waste of time.

[Hockey-kun]

I'm so happy everyone enjoyed my Death note clip. :D

[Doomimus]

I'm so happy everyone enjoyed my Death note clip. :D

Oh, hell yeah! I had a giggle fit.

[Hockey-kun]

Is Zarxrax gonna submit some clips? =P

[scarmullet]

I wonder how long this episode is going to be.

[Zarxrax]

Is Zarxrax gonna submit some clips? =P
I had an idea for one, but I forgot it. I need to start writing this stuff down again.

[Evileel]

I think the best was 'Captain Insano shows no mercy" and "Reagan smash - Reagan sleepy" :P Also "All My Friends Are Dead" was good, especially soundtrack, but somehow I think that video clip ended too quickly http://forum.imperiaonline.org/int/Smileys/classic/huh.gif
However Azumanga clips were some kind of mistake http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9555/azumanga4.gif

Well maybe only Pocaki-san was worth being among other AMV Hell clips. Other too were way too long and boring. I don't really get how it is possible to make from such funny show such crappy clips http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7898/azumanga7.gif

Also I agree with all those masses of people who say that opening and ending were perfect ^_^

[Doomimus]

Care to elaborate on that, Evileel? And please, constructive critique is appreciated.

[Hockey-kun]

Lol, Doom shall kill all Azumanga Daioh haters :P

[scarmullet]

YAYYYYYY!

http://tww1.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/gir-dancing.gif

[Doomimus]

Lol, Doom shall kill all Azumanga Daioh haters :P

Heh heh... Not without a fair trial first. XD

[Hockey-kun]

Heh heh... Not without a fair trial first. XD

F-f-f-fair t-t-t-trial? Whats that?

[Doomimus]

F-f-f-fair t-t-t-trial? Whats that?

I'm a little sketchy on the details, but I believe it involves homicidal angels and clubs with nasty-lookin' spiky dealy-bobs on 'em.

[scarmullet]

Nah I think it involves giant purple robots and the emo pilots that control them.

(I hope I don't anger the Curry)

[Doomimus]

Or perhaps Yomiko Readman uses legal documents to administer her mighty paper cuts of doom.

Care to elaborate on that, Evileel?

On what exactly? http://forum.imperiaonline.org/int/Smileys/classic/bw.gif

[Doomimus]

Like I said before, Evileel, constructive critique. Discussing what you liked and/or didn't like and making suggestions on how to improve it. You don't have to like it, but calling someone's work "crap" doesn't cut it, I'm afraid.

That's not asking too much, is it?

[Evileel]

Ok, lets continue talking about those your 2 Azumanga clips:

http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/3827/az1q.jpghttp://img293.imageshack.us/img293/1424/25pxlenghtux4.gifhttp://img512.imageshack.us/img512/5343/az2.jpg



what you liked

Great video and audio quality, well made lip synch.



didn't like

Both of those clips lacked of any idea. Especially the second one - some silly joke and thats all.
In contrast, Pocaki-san video had that idea - some deeper meaning.



making suggestions on how to improve it.

Concentrate more on searching some new, exciting ideas instead of wasting your time on all that lip synch fetish. I know its hard to believe, but perfect lip synch alone, does not make all the video perfect itself.

And some destructive critic to all - why everyone in AMV minis are using the same overused over 10 years old shows just like in AMV hell 3,4? Why don't use some new, fresh, unseen animes?

[Doomimus]

Interesting points, Evileel.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "fetish" -- I didn't spend very much time on the lip sync, and actually I think I could've done better at it. And yes, lip sync alone does not make a clip. It's the idea that makes a clip, first and foremost. On that note, it's unfortunate that you didn't like the ideas for the first two clips. I'm actually a sucker for silly jokes, which is why I made them in the first place. But hey, just goes to show you can't please everyone. As for new ideas and new anime, hey, I'm all for it. That's not to say, though, that we can't get great ideas from older anime.

Are you planning on submitting any clips to the series? If you do indeed want to see fresher ideas, maybe you should contribute some yourself.

Ideas=Substance
Lip Sync= Special Effects

[acutekat]

a. got to watch it finally, it was good needs work but once we get in the swing of things it will be much better
b. to zarxax are you ginving people an open liscence to attempt to upload it then ?

[Raster88]

yea, i submitted one on RS last week, and Zarxrax didn't mind.

[Hockey-kun]

yea, i submitted one on RS last week, and Zarxrax didn't mind.

I think he means uploading the actual episode, not a submission...

this is cool :)

oh. sorry, im a bad listener :sweatdrop:

[Kiflaam]

Hi, I just joined, and I must say, where has all this been? Why hasn't anyone told me? I've never watched videos that made me wish I watched anime more often... but anyway, I wanted to ask you something. On youtube, I saw one of your videos. It was like, a movie, or somtin. (I'll try and be descriptive of what happened so as you know which video, I can't find it again) Early in the video, there was quite a lengthy section where it flashed hundres, upon hundreds, of pics from different animes. If you know which video I'm talking about, can you refer to me a possibly existing list that details every anime depicted in that mass collaberation of Japanese animation? I would love to brush up on some good anime, for, as described earlier, your videos made me wish I watched more anime. I've seen Azumanga Daioh, all the ones played on adult swim, Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star... and I think that's it, plz help, thanks.

[kapparomeo]

Kiflaam, I think that you mean the opening sequence to AMV Hell 4 (http://amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvhell4)? The video there was fastforwarding through its predecessor, AMV Hell 3 (http://amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvhell3). You can find everything listed in the credits page, on that second link! I hope that that helps.

[Calvin3]

I love the AMV Minis
I laughed so uncontrollably hard at the Azumanga Daioh - Homestar Runner bit, it was just too perfect

I also thought the Sakaki - Pocahontas one was very sweet
