the worship at full volume suggestion and advice thread

[Osakaisthebomb]

Actually, I was really wondering if we could turn this into a Faith MEP. You know, kind of one to celebrate the glory of God? Editors could choose different genres of Christian/Inspirational music, and bring it all together?

Just mah input. :O

already been done.....twice (Seven 7 Seven, Project Trinity)

This Project is Faith based. All the artist will be Christian or Christ inspired metal.
I'm working on other theme ideas to set this project apart.

[Osakaisthebomb]

okay so here is the the whole deal with this forum

Worship at full volume will be an MEP featuring all Metal artist. Artist that are either Christian or Christ inspired (hence why Thrice will be in this project). This is the overall idea of this project and that won't be changed.

But godix makes a very good point about how "Artist so and so is awesome" type MEPs can stink. Although this project is not on one artist, it is on one genre. And rarely do MEP like that make any impression on anybody.

A few people complained about my last project being called "Seven 7 Seven" and no connection to that name. So what I'm asking for is ideas on other themes to work on with this project that will give it more depth. This will also help me make a better intro and outro (credits).

Well, I may be a bit biased here but I feel that Project Trinity did a good job as far as intro and outro goes. What I think is that it should be one song, that is kind of what I thought Awake by Seventh Day Slumber would good for. I also like how you did the intro to Seven 7 Seven where each editor chose a character to portray them.
Also, I know you are working on a track list, but I think it would be better if you let the editors pick the song they would like to use. Of course you would still have limits. I myself am a big fan of Anberlin, but they did not make it into the project as far as I know. These are just suggestions of course.

I understand the idea of people picking the music they wanted to use. However there were two problems with that.

1). The project is on metal music. Alot of people seem to label any rock band as metal. To avoid this trouble I picked out the songs.

2). The horrible time I had with Seven 7 Seven was working with the random audio. Most say that in an MEP the music setup should be one of two things, single blended mix or separate individual tracks seperate fade in and out. Making my own mix helps the editing process work smoother.

I didn't like doing it really. There are some artist that would deserve to be on MEP about Christian Metal (Living Sacrafice, Zao, Becoming the Archtype,The Chariot,Etc) However I didn't own any of albums by those artist.

I feel that Project Trinity did a good job as far as intro and outro goes. What I think is that it should be one song.... I also like how you did the intro to Seven 7 Seven where each editor chose a character to portray them.

I agree with you on Project Trinity. I'm hoping to learn Adobe After Effects soon to make the intro and outro better.

I'm glad to here someone liked the intro Idea from Seven 7 Seven. I'm just not sure how to do something like that with this project or if I even should. so far counting just the time of all the tracks together the project would be 12 minutes long. so if the intro and credits were a 1:30 each then the whole project would be 15 minutes long. However I'm not sure it that would be too long or just right.

(Currently this thread is right above the 'Antichrist MEP' thread. Awkward... >_>)

Regarding the opening of Seven 7 Seven, I liked how the opening used characters to represent the editors as well, but I think it went a little long. It was kinda like 'ok, I wanna see the actual video now!'

I do like the idea, as I said, but maybe you could do something like that during the credits instead of in the beginning. Long intros can make people lose intrest, something short and sweet that basicly states what the MEP is about would probablly be best (Like Project Trinity, actually).

Yeah, my two cents. Look forward to seeing this hget started! I hope to be able to join, despite not being a huge fan of Metal :3

hmm. I think I have an idea for the intro and credits. Tell me if this seems like a good idea. Before I explain it let me point something else out. I'm thinking that the setup would be have the artist and song title displayed at the beginning of every track. In the credits I'll just show the editors name and anime used.

The intro will be a guy in a room that is either just dark or broken down with large windows. He screams and the windows shatter (and some how the title appears within that). not sure how to pull this intro off though. And this intro might last only 10-15 seconds

The credits will reflect this intro (almost literally). It will be a black screen with pieces of glass falling in slow motion; each piece with a video track playing reflected within the glass. I'm guessing this effect can be done in adobe after affects. Slight chance I will get adobe after effects before this project officially start and I could try to do it myself. Bigger chance though that I'll have someone volunteer to do it.

I'd like to do that too but not sure how to add that idea to the idea I have above.


Tell me if this sounds like a good idea or not.

I like the idea myself, I think Sierra Lorna has after effects and could probably tell you how to pull something like that off.

I do have to admit I already chose a character to represent me if you do decide to do something like that.

[Osakaisthebomb]

only problem I got now is figuring out how the tracks will connect with the theme and Ideas of the intro and credits.

[souretsu]

Tommorrow, I will be all settled in, and I my comp will be up, I can have all the tracks and Pics to you tommorrow.

Okay one last thing that needs to be addressed.

Classes are taking there toll on me and my hours at work have increased. so I've decided to take either a week and a half or two weeks off from the internet starting Sunday. This should help me catch up at school and prevent it from interfering with the Project.

Also, in order to keep my self from getting swamped, I'm going to need someone to take over the first part of this project (editor audition, beta testing and approval) after this part is complete I'll take back over to for the final entries, editing, etc.

if you can take control of the first part of this project for me, contact me via private message. I'll Start the forum in about a week or two.
