The Lip Flapper: Main Thread

[CodeZTM]

Month at a Glance:

Each month will now be composed of 4-5 different components, instead of solely interviews. The order in which they appear is basically as they are presented here.

1) AMV Interview: Twice or more a month, I will interview a member of the AMV community and we'll get to know a little bit about them.
2) AMV of the Month: I will highlight/review an AMV selected at random from my collection. I'll then turn to the audience and see what their thoughts on the AMV are.
3) AMV Announcement Review: I will take a look at all the videos announced in a particular month, and give basic opinions/thoughts on each of them in a handy downloadable list.

Mission Statement: The goal of "The Lip Flapper" is to bring creators, fans and the people involved in the world of AMVs to center stage, and allow us to better understand our fellow editors, as well as to spread the work of the community to a public forum.

[Castor Troy]

Requests - dwchang, Radical Yue, Beowulf

[Kitsuner]

he wants to discuss the major sub-plots of Evangelion and how it's actually the prequel to Trigun.

I'll vote for Bob. That discussion sounds pretty interesting.

This. And then myself. So we can see the difference between awesome Bob and Boring Nya-chun |:

You know spanish? :O

Also:

I want to see Bob in the interview too

[gotegenks]

Forgo everything else, including thhis. Stupid "romance month," and get BOB in here!

[CodeZTM]

I now regret my inclusion of Bob. /facepalm

[Cross/fade]

Bob is ready when you are.


I think we need more panels, maybe a panel about effects. I lack imagination when it comes to those, I always wondered how people get ideas for all those "colorful, flying stuff" in the AMV.

[gotegenks]

Honestly though, how about a panel on the best/most entertaining genre, or a panel aboutt "what do conventions' judges and/or their audiences look for in their winning amvs, is it different from what editors look for in videos?"
Maybe a panel on the con experience, like as in going there amd stuff. How about something on the importance of studios. Big studios, small studios, no studios, and the effects they may or may not have on editors and their work, with a little side question on the responders fave studio (excluding their own). A panel about having fun versus improving and how they dont necessarily come without the other, maybe how impoortant the art is as opposed to how important the hobby and community are. How about a panel about what everyone believes the biggest issue/most important thing to change with the fabled "org redesign" is or would be.

How about a multi interrview type thing with admins of Reflections of Style, past and present, and its legacy. Im on mobile and its a pain in the ass to scroll up and the xxdreww interview was okay but can we get an actual nostromo interview? -shot- (but seriously, nostromo)
Ohhhh....i have zero idea if this is even legally mathematically possible, but how about a phade interview? Maybe the panel aabout studios could give birth to a panel of all the members of the studio with the most votes.?

I was thinking about this too

The panels are actually interesting between interviews
