The 80's Rock! An 80's Music AMV Project!

Paper_Bard · Post by **Paper_Bard** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 8:00 pm

I've made several AMVs using 80's music, and I find, if using the right anime, it is effective, brings back some rock legends, and seriously invokes nostalgia.

Now: Here are some guidelines:
Music must have been recorded from 1980-89. It must represent the common music of the era. Preferrably rock, but hip-hop or soft rock will do as well (Rock Lobster by B-52's for example, is a great 80's pop song).

Any anime is acceptable, however I'd like to put a 14A rating limit on it. I don't want to see bloodbaths like Hellsing or anything even remotely resembling hentai.

I want to hear some ideas, and we can form things from there.

I want to be involved.

But you need some more details. Deadline, preferred formatting, intended release date, etc, etc.

I'd be willing to get in on this, as well, but Kio is right, we need more info, man!

Ok, here's some more info.

Technical Details:

- no Subs, Divx Logos, 4kids logo's, whatever.
- Frame Rate 23.976fps - 24fps
- AVI
- Size 640x480
- No Hentais
- Only ANIME, no Games. (Advent Children can be used)
- Only 80's songs (I will accept the odd late 70's if it is the eariler work of an 80's band (such as ACDC) and only if it fits with the 80's music feel.
- 1 song per person (preferrably one band per person as well)
- 1 anime per person

Deadline: This is mostly a brainstorming process right now, and I want to see how many people want to be involed, but i'm thinking January 1st to be the absolute deadline, and this is being generous. I don't know how many people are going to get in on this and I have no idea how this will come to be.

Hmm... I could get in on this.

Just to clarify:

You would want only 1 song per person, so then no mixing of different songs and also only 1 video per person?
Also, since only 1 series per person that would limit the 1 video to only have 1 source? So no multi source videos?

Any possible ratings on quality? Or any 640x480 avi will suit you?

As far as quality, I would say make it as good as you can, to be honest. XVID is a good video codec.
This is going to be a multiple author AMV anywa,y and It could get really confusing if people keep using different songs.
The reason I wanted one anime per person is so we can have a definate feel o each section. I'm going to do this like a flicking of the channels, to different songs and such.
Ignore the 640x480 size issue. My own program only wants to do 1280x720 and still be good but not take up mroe than 200mb. I like it, however, so I'll use it. Don't make it any larger than that, ok?

I would prefer songs on the top 100 billboards.
I don't have access to a plethora of anime, so If anyone has a romantic comedy, a really good song would be '867-5309' by Tommy Tutone.

If this gets off the ground and I have internet, I'll be interested. I got a folder of about 100 songs from the 80s i've been dying to use.
