AMV Salad 5: Happy Meal (Nekocon 14, here we come!)

[Squancho]

I know I sent you more then three minutes of stuff, I'm gonna assume you forgot about it. lol

I'll have to look again.
Been that long since I received anything.
I should try to get a few clips in this time...

Hey, wait a minute, yeah! Hehe, quit complaining and be part of the solution! You make some clips too!

My issue is not ideas, but time to make it. Anyone found any really good methods of breezing through footage? Certain series I need to look through MKVs and they don't glide through on MPC, so it's a bit tough. Anyone know a player that glides through footage easier? I know VirtualDub does, but MKVs make VirtualDub unhappy.

Maybe you only liked three minutes of it

But anyway, it SHOULD be like ten minutes of stuff (and if it's not something bad happened).

And even though you have it in Ohayocon Deuce, you should totally include your Phoenix Wright video, it's pretty great.

I've been told I need to fix the pronunciation of Godot but I just might do that.
I'll take a break tonight from constructing Excalibur and open the AMVS5 folder and see where we are.
*starts thinking about Schoolhouse Rock ideas*

I plan on submitting something for this, but since I'm not really past the idea phase, so I'll keep quiet on that.

If you're still looking for an idea for a running gag, I have a few but feel very ill-experienced to judge their value ,so I'm going to throw all of them out there for other people to weight the merit of:

The kool-aid "oh yeah"...

The engerizer bunny... keeps going, and going, and going... interupted plenty pseudo-commericals in its time.

"Side-effects may include"... I may sick and alone in always being amused by these, but I find them funny. You see a commercial telling you how much more awesome your life would be with a pharmaceutical then you're told in a dismissive monotone that it may kill you. Ask your doctor about it today!

[Squancho]

Hmmm...the Kool-Aid thing isn't such a bad idea.

Considering the concept theme,...whaddy'all think?

[Gaelstrom]

The Kool-aid one could work, but I have trouble thinking how it could be done effectively. It would probably require a lot of editing and choosing reactions to it and such. It also has a similar impact style to the geico money, which I personally think we should try and go for a new style impact, but it's definitely not a bad style. If you have any specifics, that could help explain how you see it happening.

Energizer bunny I like better to be honest. Again, it's the same style humor as geico money, but not as percussive in its impact. I could see massive action scenes and then it goes through the scene. It's almost like the opposite end of the spectrum from the money style impact. I could see the energizer bunny going through an FMA battle, an Afro Samurai battle, and a scene where they're all sitting around in Ghost in the Shell just as easily across the board, so it does offer a LOT of versatility. I'd be for this one if we can't think of something more original.

Side effects one definitely works similar to the energizer idea in a different direction. But I think it'd work stronger as a one shot. To be honest, if we could get any of Steven Colbert's fake pharmaceutical side effects from youtube or something, they'd work soooo well for many many things.

All quite good ideas. Energizer is my personal favorite of the three. One thing we could do, because the audience will be able to tell it's kind of similar to te Geico Money, is to have them face off. Almost bring in some continuity from AMVS4.

[moonbunnychan]

I rather like the energizer bunny one, in fact I think I can even already think of a few good ideas for it.
I also like the idea of Kool Aid or the side effects thing but I think they'd work well just as single bits instead of running...pretty much for the exact same reasons Gaelstrom already mentioned.

[Warlike Swans]

I think maybe the side-effects thing might work best at the end, as side effects for the whole AMV salad....

I like this idea.
