*puts little finger to mouth* "I will call him..... Min

Post by AbsoluteDestiny » Fri Jun 28, 2002 7:50 am

Hi all,

I was just wondering how many of you out there have made what I call miniAMVs? i.e. amvs that are less than 2 minutes long.

I quite like amvs of the 'small yet perfectly formed' variety but I've only seen a few creators who do many.

So, if you know any good miniAMVs, post a link to them below.

Well, Cristina made a Berserk AMV that is 1:42 and people seem to like it very much... but we always get the complaint "it's too short", so I don't know what to think in this case ^^;

In my opinion the shorter the AMV the better (with some exceptions obviously) because it's easier to capture the viewer's attention in a short time span. Without saying that short video means easier scene selection (how many of us ended up using fillers to finish a video?), more "time-per-second" of video available (means you can neatpick more beacause you have less work to do) and generally less boredom for the viewer.

Personally, I am all for short AMVs (under 3 mins)... but as always these are only my .02$ :p

...MiniAMV

Post by AbsoluteDestiny » Fri Jun 28, 2002 8:34 am

Yeah, I like that Beserk vid ^_^

Damn, I can't edit my post and for some reason the topic title was cropped. It wasn't when I previewed :?

Oh well.

Yes, more MiniAMVs...

I've done a couple. "Minimum Wage" is tiny and without much point. "There's a Reason it's Animated..." is just weird. And "A Little Piece o' Heaven" is... uh...... well, yeah. :)

I made one. "Over The Edge", a DBZ video using the main theme from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

My "Ten Dirty Words" video was my first attempt at a little something small to make. I guess anime movie trailers can also be considered "mini." :o

My Dorothy Wayneright video is a collection of miniAMVs...

Psychological Damage has the most important message of just about
any video in the world! :roll:

Those are my two mini-like amvs.

Oh how convenient. A theory about God that doesn't require looking through a telescope.

I did Dual Opening quite a while ago - it's 1:30 long since it's a parody of an opening sequence.

And AD has already seen my latest AMV of that length.
