An [i]extremely[/i] ambitous idea...

Post by Spiff » Tue Dec 02, 2003 4:49 pm

...one so ambitious I'm not sure it's even possible. I know I personally don't have the resources or the editing chops to pull this one off at the moment. Well, anyway, it's just an idea, so here it is.

Entitled "The Cosplay Movie" video would be sort of a parody of Alien Ant Farm's video for The Movies. The premise of the video would therefore be a bunch of anime fans sitting down to watch some and ending up being transported into their favorite series. For example, a fan of Trigun would be inserted into a scene in the role of Vash. An Evangelion fan might find themselves piloting an Eva. And a Dragonball Z fan might wind up in a desolate valley powering up opposite an angry Sayan warlord. As a parallel to the part in AAF's video where there's a little break and some dialogue (in parody of the Karate Kid), maybe the same thing, featuring a conversation with a character (subtitled, of course :) ).

Anyway, such a video would probably need to be a massive collaborative effort between cosplayers and video editors. I realize a vido like this would be an enormous undertaking, one which I certainly am in no position right now to undertake, but I just thought I'd get the idea out.

Further ideas?

Alien Ant Farm's "Movies" music video is actually one of the few videos I've seen and I think this would be a GREAT idea.

I was planning on bringing a camcorder for my Vido Prod class and taping Iron Chef, but since there's a ton of cosplayers and a big as room that could pose as a theater(while playing AMVs on the projection screen...) maybe some people could get together and do this idea on one of the days. Probably thursday or something, since AWA's schedule for AMVers is packed. >>

Accually, this very simler to an idea of mine for an AMV.
To paste myself into sertin shows. To do what fans have
always wanted to do, example stand in the
doorway where the alien is an wave to lain. Bitch slap Minmay etc...
However, I would need a 3 man crew and blue screen time
to pull it off correctly.

Seems to me that what you need is someone who's part of an A/V club at either a college or high school. The high school I went to had a full tv studio set up, and im sure its not the only one out there.
