Figured it out!

Post by dj_ultima_the_great » Sun Dec 26, 2004 9:53 am

Well, I know that double-posting is redundant, but I've come up with a song for Pokemon! I've decided to use "It Was You", by Ashley Ballard and So Plush, which is off of (of all places) the Pokemon: The First Movie Soundtrack. I knew that I wanted something more lighthearted for Pokemon - I just can't believe I didn't think of this before. I guess it was because I hadn't really thought of a direction for the video. I've decided upon Team Rocket (that being Jessie, James, and Meowth) as my focus. After all - as I may have mentioned before - they are the reason I began watching Pokemon in the first place. I didn't really like and of the other characters or pokemon in general, but I DID like Team Rocket. So, I started watching the show. Now, I like more of the characters and I'm one of those junkies who calls out the answer when they ask "Who's That Pokemon?". So, anywho, to cut a long story to something slightly more brief, I've decided on this:

Pokemon - Ashley Ballard and So Plush - "It Was You"

As for the other anime, here is the list again:
Ah! My Goddess (!!debating a song!!)
Angel Sanctuary
Blood The Last Vampire
Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances)
Love Hina

Not too many left. I'll keep brainstorming if you will!


Wishing you a belated merry X-mas with: "Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!"

PS: Hm...I need to think of directions for these segments. I have good, befitting music, but no idea what scenes to use. Of course, I do have a notion on the songs that were suggested to me - that's how I decided on them.[/u]

For Blood, you could try Megadeth's "Into the Lungs of Hell" or "Set the World Afire" (both off of So Far, So Good...So What!), or Metallica's "The Thing That Should Not Be", "Creeping Death", or "Orion (Instrumental)" (Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets respectively)

Love Hina, maybe you could focus on the comedic parts and use Megadeth's "Mechanix" off of Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!

Just to keep up with my posting...

NicholasDWolfwood - first off, thank you for being so thorough with your suggestions. I like it when people give me the artist and the song, but giving the album as well is a nice extra. Secondly, I'm sorry to say that I don't particularly like any of those songs. Well, that's a lie. To be honest, I do like "Orion," but I don't think I'd want to edit a video to it. While I do appreciate the suggestions, I don't think I'll use them. So, thanks, and keep brainstorming if you will, okay?

Laz_the_white - I decided to use the Ah! My Goddess OAVs; therefore, I'm using "Good Thing" for sure. Also, that song has grown on me since you suggested it, so I think I would enjoy editing to it. Thanks!

Um, I think I came up with a last resort song for Angel Sanctuary, and you're all going to call me a hypocrite for it, too. I know in the beginning of this whole thing, I said that I didn't want Linkin Park or Evanescence. Well...you can probably see where this is going...I've decided to use "Anywhere" by Evanescence. BUT!!! I will only use the song IF AND ONLY IF I can't come up with anything else. That's why I called it my "last resort" song. As it is, I'm still trying to get in touch with someone about another song, but I haven't managed to catch that person yet online.

I really want to get finished with this whole thing soon, cuz I want to start my video. Still, I want quality suggestions, which is exactly what I've been getting so far, so keep up the good work folks!

One last thing before the list: for Blood, I think I want an instrumental song. It doesn't even have to be something that gets the adrenaline pumping. It could be a creepy song, too.

The list stands as such...
Angel Sanctuary (have a second choice, but still looking)
Blood The Last Vampire (instrumental music, please)
Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances)
Love Hina

Hope to get this over with soon...thanks to those of you who have been sticking with me, though! ^_^ I appreciate it!

Of course, I would have to say: "Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!"

Never seen Blood. Creepy instrumental? I'll look into it, in the meantime, do you know the tv theme song to "Angel" ?
Making an amv, is rather like being the director of a Broadway show, where you have a million dancers and each of them only knows one step.

If you don't know, "Angel" is also about vampires, conveniently enough.

Angelic Intervention - wait, that's a fanfic...

Post by dj_ultima_the_great » Wed Jan 05, 2005 11:49 am

Just to respond...

pinky - yeah, I do know the theme from Angel. I've caught a few episodes of it before. I rather like the song. That's not a bad idea, honestly - I'll think about it!

Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!

CRAP!

pinky - ack! Nevermind that. It's already been done. I like that song anyway, so I may think of a different use for it. I guess that Blood to that song is out of the question.

Winding down

Post by dj_ultima_the_great » Sun Jan 09, 2005 6:19 pm

Well, I have some good news. By way of a new friend, I was able to decide on songs for two of the remaining four parts. Before I tell about that though...

Merm - actually, at about the same time you suggested your song for Blood, I had decided what I was going to use. So, while I thank you for suggesting it, I never actually got to listen to that song. Thanks anyway! I appreciate it.

So, here's what I figured...
Angel Sanctuary - End of Green - "Evergreen"
Blood The Last Vampire - In Flames - "Acoustic Medley"

Just two more anime left
Kare Kano
Love Hina

About Kare Kano...I think I may want to attempt a comedy romance song, or a lighthearted romance song. With as much humor as that anime had, I just can't see doing something super-serious (although I have seen some amazing serious videos to that anime.)

About Love Hina...as I told my new friend Warheart, to me, a Love Hina video would either have to be comedy or romance. That anime really didn't have much else in it. I suck at comedies, so that should tell you what I'm going for. I want a romance song (sort of,) but one about friendship would be better. Something lighthearted and not in the rock/metal genre would be best, I think.

So, maybe that'll help with the last two anime, maybe it won't. Either way, thanks in advance for continuing to brainstorm for me!

As always, Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!

I'm proud of myself - I managed to come up with another song on my own! After really determining what I want for Love Hina, I started sifting through songs that I wouldn't normally think of. Something sappy, but tasteful...something that moves gently, but isn't boring...I think I nailed that song when I was listening to a CD of my mother's recently. My mom (thankfully) keeps with the times with her taste in music, but, of course, she has her favorites. The song I chose is one she really likes, I know, and it isn't really old, either. I can't say the exact year, but it sounds like something from the late 80s/early 90s era. Moreover, it's Genesis, so it can't be too recent. That all said, here's what I picked:

Love Hina - Genesis - "In Too Deep"

This just screamed Love Hina to me. Naru and Keitaro's yo-yo love/friendship thing seems to be a hot concept for AMVs, but this is my first go with anime, so give me a break (well, this is my second go if you count the short, two-minute practice video I did with Digimon. Even though I have made eight videos prior to this project, they have all been videogame music videos.) Anyway, this song should keep me a far cry from comedy with its depressing take on romance.

As for source, rather than wade through 26 episodes, I've decided to use the Christmas Special. It has all of the footage I could want for the depressing part of this video. I mean, the whole thing revolves around Naru and Kei-kun angsting about a misconception between the two of them - oh, wait, isn't that the whole series...? Sorry, I liked Love Hina, but they could have had that story over in half the time. Anywho, I may still pick a few episodes out of the series to use for the sake of a couple scenes that I was thinking of putting in this part.

Well, that was a long description for a short comment...

Just one left, and I'll probably come up with a song soon, since I'm getting slightly desperate to start this project.
Kare Kano

Actually, "In Too Deep" would work for that too, huh? ^_^

I check my bags with: "Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!"
