AMV Trivia & Easter Egg Thread

Moonie · Post by **Moonie** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 2:59 am

Forgive me if this is a bad ideal.
I thought id try and add a lil fun game to this section of the site
I've been thinking about this a lot yesterday and finally decided to post it.

Now about this game...

I'm sure a lot of people on this site have seen the "Name the Anime Screenshot" or "Anime
Trivia" thread.
Well, this is something kinda similar that involves AMVs.
Basically someone makes a short AMV and include some kind of secret in it for everyone to find.
The rules are similar to the other threads but there are a few changes.

Here are the rules and info (some adapted from the Anime Screenshot thread):

1: this game is for anyone to join in and participate.
Its not a contest or any type of competition
It doesn't matter what your style or experience in editing is.
As long as you can follow the rules, you are welcome to join in the fun.

2: You must post a short AMV that includes something
for people to guess and also tell what people are suppose
to be looking for in the video.

3: Your question can be anything like what a certain anime is
that appears somewhere in the video, where a certain object
or person appears in it, how many times something appears,
something that appears in the background etc..
Make it challenging but not impossible to find.
You have an option for people to post a screenshot,
tell the time it appears or how many times something appears in the video.

4: Since this is just for fun, you don't have to spend a long time on your clip trying to make it perfect.
Just make something simple that has some kind of secret for people to guess.
Also, keep the length reasonable.
It is recommended that your video be from 20 seconds to 2 minutes.
Don't try to do too much because you only got up to 2 days to post a video.
If its your turn and you don't have a clip posted by 2 days, someone
else can take over and post a video and question.
If you need longer to do something, its best you make it in
advance while another video is up for guess.
You can use a video you have already made
if it has something that works in this game.

5: Its preferred that people not use hentai content in videos
but if for some reason you need to, make sure you give a warning
so people will know before clicking on it.
You would have to do that anyway since its a site rule.

6: Its recommended that you use sites like yousendit or megaupload
instead of streaming sites.

7: You must correctly answer the question in order
to post a new video and question.

8 After at least two days of no new videos or answers,
anyone can restart the thread by posting a new video and question.
There is no such thing as necroposting on this thread.

9: A particularly tough video & question is taken back in favor
of an easier one once ten wrong answers have been received.

10: If for some reason someone doesn't want to post a new video,
they can pass it off to whoever they want to or
leave the thread open for anyone.

11: If three or more different people have guessed incorrectly,
the original poster must supply some kind of hint about the
secret to keep this thread moving along.

12: This part is completely optional and people do no
have to do this to play the game.
I know a lot of editors on this site that can pull
of some pretty cool stuff in a short amount of time.
I was thinking of maybe getting some clips made
throughout the thread and combine them together
in a type of AMV Trivia MEP.
If anyone that makes a trivia AMV is interested in that,
you can send your clip to me in a PM.
Unlike the game this has some technical specifications
that need to be followed though.
Nothing hard just 640x480 video, good quality audio
and huffy, lag or high quality first pass xvid for compression.
If there are enough interesting things sent to me, I'll put this ideal together.
Who knows, this could actually make an interesting MEP series
or could just be another one of my weird. ideals ^^:
Once again This part is completely optional and people
do not have to do this to play the game.
............................................................

I'll start the thread off with a somewhat easy one.
I couldn't think of nothing new to make
so I'll use something i done a while back.
Its compressed with XVID codec.
Tell me if the link doesn't work and i'll provide a new link

Question/Challenge:
In this weird 1:48 length video, there are over 30 Anime.
Name at least 15 anime that are in this video not including RE:Cutie Honey & Chobits.
You don't have to post the time they appear in the video.

I had a similar idea back when I was addicted to those threads, except I was using premade videos, which made it pretty dumb.

Sonic Riders (game)
Ah! My mini-goddess (or whatever that series is called)
Monster Rancher
Nightwalker
Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
Sailor Moon
Nadeisco(not sure)
FLCL
Genshiken(not sure)
Full Metal Alchemist The Movie
Spriggan
Grenadier
Rayearth (I think)

The thing that makes this hard is the scene selection. Almost didn't catch Nightwalker. xP

Anyway, this is all I could get. If somebody else can add on?

Me and Knowname put our heads together and caught Evangelion (the intercom), Piano (can recognize that hairstyle anywhere...) and Robotech/ Macross (Clara or whatever her name is)... how SQ missed these is beyond us...

Maybe because I've never seen any of those? ;P
