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

[Squancho]

I think it would be the most epic and attention-grabbing intro to date.
The fact that this project has custom-made opening like this further legitimizes it in the eyes of the casual viewer.
Either way, scan through the compilations and see if you can find anything that might work.
I'm hoping for the best.
I might even do a Dr.Weird spot myself but still have a couple theme clips to finish so I dunno...

[Angelyco]

I have my footage and audio cut and ready, just have to put everything together. I should have a beta for you tomorrow.

[Angelyco]

Ok, I just really didn't have ANY time to work on this today, and I have to get up super early tomorrow. I will try to finish it Monday evening, if that is okay.

[Squancho]

Tonight is only the FIRST call for clips but we can't take it for granted.
Post begins on May 3 mostly so we can get a good running start on finishing this thing.
The absolute end for submissions is June 1.
This MUST be completed by June 15 - no excuses or exceptions.

Don't you mean the Beta needs to be complete by the 15th? Based on reactions from the test at that con it may need some tweaking. I honestly hope you do accept some after that for a week, since it takes exactly 5 minutes to add in, and about 20 to render. I have a lot of obligations this week and next. I'll be doing my best to get the intro complete the beginning between now and then for that con with as much reasonable content as possible (The cool part is I can add in some and that'll work for a beta and add more after as I'm able since it's just quick additions), but I want to get another few quick clips done after that before we must get this thing sent to Otakon. If you're worried about last year, just remember your junked computer was a major cause of the clip collection issues ^^ We've got solid infrastructure (and you've got a solid computer) this year... just... all the regulars seem to have life happening right around this time more than last year.

[Squancho]

Well,...I based this schedule on the Otakon parody submission deadline.
Since they have an FTP now, provided any further revisions are needed after AMA, it's gonna be a tight squeeze.
I know you're still working with Scott on the Otakon parodies.
I just answered several threads since I got so far behind.
Since the final FTP submission date for parodies is less than a week after AMA I could only afford a few days to make a final, polished version if it's necessary.

[Gaelstrom]

Yeah, but I'll have to check with him as well, because since it's FTP based now, or at least as far as I understand it, the submission date is to guarantee placement and so they know what type of programming they can prepare for. But you may be able to update said file after it's guaranteed its place. I'm not sure, but I believe we can update submissions if truly necessary, but I'm not trying to push too hard. If I can have until the end of June I may be able to finish the intro and get another 2, 3, or even 4 small clips done.

[Squancho]

We'll definitely have to confer with Scott over this.

[Gaelstrom]

The biggest issue, the reason I think we need extra time, is we STILL don't have a running gag everyone agrees on. If we don't have a running gag, we may as well be AMV Hell. That's not a bad thing, but the running gag is really important, I realize that more and more with each year. We now have a tried and true running gag so we know the elements that make a good one thanks to moonbunnychan's and Miko's efforts. Nobody seems to be answering my alternatives, and I haven't seen any more suggestions, and I don't have time as far as I'm aware to make a bunch of clips and this intro in the allotted time.

So seriously, what do you all want?

[Squancho]

What he said.

EVERYONE!
Running gag...what is your choice?
