take as long or as little time you want as long as the final product says to you "yeah, now THAT'S what i want".

people work at a different pace, but as long as you don't rush to do things you'll be fine. take time to build previews and fine detail every little thing and you'll do well.

in my experience a good mv takes about a month or so at an average pace. but f course if you work faster or slower then you'll end up with a different time.

final fantasy x is a game, not an amv.


Shamless Rock Video took from Christmas to May to make (with major time iff in the middle). Whether it's good or not is a matter of opinion.

Believe by Kevin Caldwell is a video I'd very much call "good" and he described the process of creating that as "painful".

There is such a thing as a good amv that only takes a few hours but if your amv isn't good in concept alone then it needs to be good in execution and that requires patience.

For me, a video takes on average 30 to 45 days to complete.

The longest I have ever spent on one was 4 months and the shortest was 3 hours (I was timing myself) The 3 hour one actually turned out pretty good if you can accept the fact that it wasn't anime and was more of a movie trailer than a music video.

Wouldn't it be better to give a rough estimate on hours spent on a particular amv? For example, if I told people that I completed my Stress video in 4 days, they would think that I was insane and couldn't give a reasonable estimate. After I then told people that I did it in 40-50 hours in those 4 days, they just thought that I was insane. ;)
