[Annazoey]

Aw I'd like to audition, but I don't have any anime choice TT-TT And the deadline is here soon =/ So maybe next time xD :3

[RadicalxYue]

But you won't upload the video on the org :< *sadface*

[Chiikaboom]

@RadicalxYue I thought the org hated meps |:

[moezychan]

Thank you for accepting my audtion...I realized going through my sent folder that I filled out the form but forgot a video x_x I hope that's alright...

[Syliyn]

"over 250 auditions" sweet lord how the hell did you even manage

[HanaDaKitsune]

@Syliyn Chiika is a beast! I'm not surprised in the least.

[SoniiaFoxxy]

I had send you a pm with a video , but Ive uploaded a new one so I'm setting it as a video response ;)

[xiPurpleBishy]

YAY so kewl auditioning for et D8

[TheKagome1993]

How many entries can u enter?

[StarEater0Z]

oho i've got a good project idea for this audition xD hopefully its not a fail .-.

[Uragerr]

i rly like the sound. :D

[OnePieceTheReference]

Hello ! I like very much this vidéo , it's possible that we can watch in the iPod ?

Thanks !

[YunaSama13]

Just wanted to let you know... I had my 2nd account warning today (for my Madoka AMV) so from now on I'll be on YunaxSama...

[OperatioNkAd]

Also, check out my first video editting and youtube video:

youtube.com/watch?v=wK-RAhUbPT­Q

I know, my quality sucks thats y Ima asking for help + it was my first and probs last, video editting takesss foreverrr. This took like 2 weeks to complete using song vega pro 10 trial and as you can see, Im not a big fan of effects, mainly cos Im not good at it or have been bothered to put in the time to learn. To your pepsi or coke question, I prefer pepsi but whats does that tell you about the person?

[OperatioNkAd]

Hey, not really auditioning cos I only watch three animes; naruto, bleach and one piece. And no, Im not new to animes lol, been watching for about 4 years now :P, just new to amv and such. Just read your description and it says the people have to know to how encode high quality huffy. Now I dont know what huffy means but Im sure it got to do with making the video have the highest visual quality + audio wise. Anyways so my question is, how do you make your videos have such great quality?

[CWArishou]

For the audition video, how long would you like it to be and I was wondering if I could enter a MAD as an audition video?

[Chiikaboom]

@CWArishou Doesnt matter. A MAD is fine.

[KashiiAi]

I have a question--does your audition have to be anime/manga, or can it be anything? Because it sounded a bit like you were talking about the actual project for that rule, so I wasn't sure. I have a BioShock GMV that would make a perfect audition for this MEP, so I was wondering.

[Chiikaboom]

@KashiiAi Id prefer it to be anime/manga, but you can audition with something else if you want,

[Malster3]

ohdamnprenice mix ;3

calming .

[animerocksyay]

I want to audition for the mep. Unfortunately I don't really have any time to make a video response. So I was wondering if you could have a look at the videos I have made previously. Just click on my name. Also I use windows movie maker. So that means that I can't really do any special effects. I hope that's alright.

[MadHattress24]

I would love to audition. I just have one question: For our video response, does it have to be a song from the mep or any song?

[Chiikaboom]

@MadHattress24 it can be any song.

[MadHattress24]

@Chiikaboom ok. cool. Thanks!

[leDiachan]

I'd love to tinker with some stuff, even if I'm not that great at editing right now. Just one thing: So for WMM, publishing at 720p is okay? I think I can also publish at 1080, but no guarentees. Oh, and also, do we have to edit for all the songs?

[MultiAnimeChick]

I would LOVE to audition, but i have no chance in hell, heaven or the moon. I will look forward to the finished product though :)

[SixthElementStudios]

@MultiAnimeChick Don't give up just b/c other amv's seem better, use it as an example and inspiration to make yours better, and just do it for fun/experience! :) I'm new to amv making, so i tend to watch alot of amvs for reference/style to make my own

[uniqueangel09]

have you found a deadline yet :) I'm working on a vid and want to make sure I upload it before the deadline

[Chiikaboom]

@uniqueangel09 There wont be a deadline for several months yet ;)

[xTwistedL0gic]

hmm akai, i know i said i wouldn't audition because i don't have much experience with encoding, but i changed my mind. i fecking love this mix. :D

i know i probably won't make it in, but it's well worth a try ((y))

[demonman905]

I would love to audition... But I am an Amateur at this. And I have sony Vegas Movie Studio Deluxe, Not Sony vegas 9. I will Try. Oh and it has to be one of those 5 songs right? Ok. oh, and could you teach me the difference between Frame rates and aspect ratio? The thing mention in Rule 1? Thanks.

[Chiikaboom]

@demonman905 Video program doesn't matter, and you can audition with whatever song you like :) Frame rates are the amount of frames per second. With this mep you're probably going to want to edit with 29 fps. Aspect ratio is the width and height of your video. For this mep you're probably going to want to edit in 848x480 for widescreen sources or 640x480 for fullscreen.

[demonman905]

@Chiikaboom Oh, I think I understand now. Thanks. Oh, but it kinda does matter about the video program. Vegas Movie Studio doesnt have even half the the effect Sony Vegas 9 possesses. but Oh well. I guess I will try Using the song Nemo by Nightwish. It has Piano and metal guitar!

[Chiikaboom]

@demonman905 Nope, movie program really doesnt matter! Even windows movie maker users are allowed to audition.

[demonman905]

@Chiikaboom Oh, and there are Small black Bars on the left and right sides of my video. Should I remove them?

[YunaSama13]

@Chiikaboom So we don't have to be skilled in effects? Hmm might try this also then... Using Sony Vegas 6 myself here but I'm mainly a raw-editor with just a few effects...

[WishUponStarz]

I wish I was an amazing editor now * o *

Piano rock is one of my favourite genre's too <3

I'm so looking forwards to seeing the end result of this MEP <3 __ <3

[SixthElementStudios]

@WishUponStarz It's moving up my lists of favorite genre's now lol xD 

[VLunarheartsV2]

where did you download all these amazing songs??

[SixthElementStudios]

Sent ya a video response, but don't know if my rendering passed your standards, and please comment/tip :)

[lovinyoujacksparrow2]

Just finished my audition video :)

[Kennikish]

4. Both anime and manga are allowed, but no CG, live action, game footage or shows that dont qualify as anime.

^ No...no Thane Spam? ;A;!!

Welp that already knocks me out of the running! XDDD

[Chiikaboom]

@Kennikish IM SORRY KENNAY ;__; its just games tend to clash when mixed with anime footage, and since its an anime focused mep.. yeah T__T

I still love youuu <3

[Kennikish]

@Chiikaboom it's okie m'dear, if the no-games wouldn't have killed me, the "knowing how to encode" rule would have XDDD

[Chiikaboom]

@Kennikish You could always just ask me how to hon <3

[Kennikish]

@Chiikaboom lol! I wouldn't even know where to start XD <3

[Shinjiheart]

yeah i can't audition D: i read the words encoding and other stuff, idk wth any of that means 8D;

[ismellrottenflesh]

This is the actual worst thing i have ever heard, my ears are bleeding right now.

[Chiikaboom]

@ismellrottenflesh That aint wut u said last night OHOHO

[arkaimthethird]

ANOTHER MEP, Chii? Really? You keep telling me how swamped you are with projects and homework and you OPEN ANOTHER MEP? I WORRY ABOUT YOU SOMETIMES.

[SixthElementStudios]

@arkaimthethird she did say that it probably won't start for a while, just announcing it early

[Chiikaboom]

@arkaimthethird Woman for all I know this mep wont start until christmas!

[arkaimthethird]

@Chiikaboom STILL CONCERNED. But I'm also really looking forward to it. lol this mix is awesome. ;)

[daisykid3]

Another great MEP mix you've got there~ I usually don't know know the songs you use which is a treat since I get to find new stuff. I forgot how much I love this kind of music. I think it's safe to say that you'd recommend these artists, yes? Do you have any more recommended piano rock artists? I feel like I need more of this music like now but I don't know where to start. :'D

[SixthElementStudios]

@daisykid3 ikr! she got new ideas churning in my head :)

[SpavVy1993]

whoever drew that picture of Soul And Maka did a wounderful job! I'm and artist myself and the blending of the colors go so well together.

[HeavenHitomi]

I would love to audition, the music sounds amazing! But I don't know much about encoding. However, I am willing to learn!

[KashiiAi]

AAAAHHH YEEEES CHII YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY. Piano/symphony rock is straight up my alley--it's my all-time favorite genre of music (actually, we must like a lot of the same music, becuase I swear I've looked up almost every artist in your AMVs XD).

Imma so audition, but I don't know much about coding and whatnot, so I'd be happy to learn. ^^ Actually, I have a lot of questions about the way the editing community works in general. AMV.org hasn't yielded much on that. >.>

Anyway, I'm excited~ Ee!

[ObviouslyOblivious01]

love the song in the 2:50's! really pretty and yet somewhat mysterious...............i love music like that so good choice in my opinion! ;p

[NyaFax12]

Awesome! I wont have time to audition for about a month or so thanks to exams, but Ill definately audition when I get time. Hopefully Ill find time in my Easter break next week to make an audition vid :)

This looks so cool! Gawd, this song makes me high 8D

[Chiiisus]

huuumm.... Tempting ;__; Music sounds awesome desu.

[xDeathChiBix]

this song is awesome, zero dislikes

[XenoCrystal72]

I'm gunna audition :D (once i make a decent audition video ;)

[lastXIII]

No Heavy Effects, no Tekkon, and drama, I'm out. Jk, no offence, you're Awesome.

[CondemnedToDie]

There is no way I'll ever pass this so I won't even try. Can't wait to see how this turns out when it's a full MEP though!

[Riltend]

Chii, can't wait to see an MEP on this EPIC audio :o Sorry, I downloaded the track as well, even though I won't join... I love this =D

[MrAnnaX]

Hey Chii, can we use footages for a background :? Or some.... flashy lights or smth :D But of course, not only the footage itself... And btw, am I on your "hate list". Cuz I would be happy to take part in this MEP... if I get chosen... if I apply...if you don't hate me...xD

[flashkills]

im down lodeing this just soo i can listing to this

[MrAlextoba]

im kinda bad on encoding..but saw an opportunity of u beeing an great teacher...i render in vegasbut mostly in wmv....why?...becoze i didnt find a twitch or w/e and and if i try rendering in avi...even uncompressed ...i get sum thin horizontal lines nomather how i change sets...tried changing resolution...framerate and thos little lines still remain there.......if any1 has any ideea how to fix that...i'd really be gratefull..soz if its a novice question..yet i am one :P

[Chiikaboom]

@MrAlextoba Thats interlacing, you can change it by going to your advanced video settings -> Field order -> change to 'None (progressive scan)'

[MrAlextoba]

@Chiikaboom thanks a lot chiika

[Fayamv]

"4. Both anime and manga are allowed, but no CG, live action, "game footage" or shows that don't qualify as anime."

Okay, what about games which the game footage/cut scenes are anime, such as the Tales of games, Persona games, or games based on anime that use 2D style animation 'anime' in the major scenes?

I don't want to audition, and I know saying so gonna hurt my chance for an answer. However seeing such a rule I had to ask for anyone else that may be wondering the same thing.

[Chiikaboom]

@Fayamv What I meant by game footage was essentially what i said before.. cg/3d stuff haha. Guess i couldve worded it better.

2d anime cut scenes are fine, anything 3d or CG is not. I should clarify that in my description, thanks for bringing it up :)

[Fayamv]

@Chiikaboom Okay, I figured you meant no CG/3D(don't blame ya, unless it's done well they clash in AMVs) but I wanted to make sure and no prob

[Shinjiheart]

I'm considering ittttt but idk D: will you be betaing the parts too?

[Chiikaboom]

@Shinjiheart of course!

[Shinjiheart]

@Chiikaboom okay that's good :3 I don't really rely on my own editing instinct

[ZaneSangai]

I'm so gonna buy this song. :o Thank you Chika!

[TheyGotMeatballs]

Is WMM allowed?

[Chiikaboom]

@TheyGotMeatballs Yes - as long as you export in avi.

[BlueZomig]

~a year ago i kept asking about the 'Porkies' font... does this make you hate me? D:

[Chiikaboom]

@BlueZomig No D:

[SixthElementStudios]

Question, what theme are you aiming for in this MEP? Action, drama, romance, or a mix of a little bit of each? :)

[Chiikaboom]

@SixthElementStudios Mostly drama/romance/sentimental etc... :)

[SixthElementStudios]

@Chiikaboom Faded- by ill angels....is it final that you're using the instrumental and w/o lyrics?

[Chiikaboom]

@SixthElementStudios Yeah - I dont like the singers voice >_>

[SixthElementStudios]

@Chiikaboom alrighty, ima get started on brainstorming and playing with ideas then

[xXxCloudStrifeXxXX]

this sounds awesome I just don't know If I'll be a hinderance XP If I put enough time and work into the video I guess I can crack up something good but I guess my main good works are on my other account not this one o-o but I can give the auditions a go ^-^

[VivifxAMV]

IMA AUDITION CHII. CAUSE YOU ARE SEXY.

[ibtihalsalsabil]

cool! i think i'm gonna auditon >-<

[Amberloverofanime2]

I'd love to audition...but my recent video is a story-like amv from angel beats from otanashi's pov and it's...dramatic...

[Alegend23]

@Amberloverofanime2 oh she doesn't mean dramatic as in the video, she just doesn't want any drama in the production like people having arguments and stuff

[darkreu]

well if its a hot day Pepsi for sure, if its just for a meal coke XDD. I want to try out for this thought, I will send form soon

[Alegend23]

i has to download this to my mp3 player or I'll never get to know what part i want... this is too fyelicious to be chosen at once hahah, i'll take my time.. :) Then i'll send the PM to youz. Oh, forgot, liked, faved, and will listen to it more in depth later :) awesome mix!

[IchigoOtaku01]

This is going to be a great MEP, I can tell just from the music. <3

[CrawlingInTehDark]

Does it matter what program you use, like Sony Vegas or WMM?

[Chiikaboom]

@CrawlingInTehDark Nope! As long as you know how to export avi through WMM (which is possible) that program is fine by me.

[sinycatarina]

This will be epic. I have to download this to my ipod so I can hear it properly *kicks stupid internet for being slow today*

I'll def audition, specially since you're with no rush :) and also cause I don't think I have the "right" vid to audition. With this kind of mood I only did mep parts so... I'll be BACK! ahah <3

P.S.: I was finally able to hear the full mix, this will be a really hard choice! ;___;

[LuckyStar2908]

my god i love pianos in songs very good mix

maybe ill audition later on

[coloraoi]

Looks purty cool Chii, good luck with this~ -doesn't know whether to or not-

[MentalProdigy]

DERPA DERP.

[Chiikaboom]

@MentalProdigy u r troll

[squallxrinoa]

Wow this mix is really good! :O I'll have a think about the timeframe and anime choice and get back to you ^^

[MentalProdigy]

I LIKE NESTEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[pandbgt01]

I may audition. I'm in a flop right now, but if I make something worth sending you then I know it was meant to be!

[o0oFallenAngel0o0]

In the audition videos, do you have to use the songs you have listed? Also, do the audition videos have to display piano rock? :)

[Chiikaboom]

@o0oFallenAngel0o0 Nope, you can edit with whatever you think feels best :)

[BeautyFromAshes91]

This music is so epic *O*

[PleepChan]

omg I love this kind of music ;___; so gonna audition if I have the time to XD

[skylover256]

Lol as interested as I am I know I couldn't peice together something decent enough or edit well enough to even consider showing but it does sound fun! :S

[AnimeMakerAnimaker]

I submitted my audition ^^ I want to edit one piece please!!!

[oMuStIiA]

I think I'll give it a try C: I don't know if I'm good enough, but it's worth giving a go.

[Kazemon15AMVer]

This....looks interesting. Im definitely interested. I'll need to take a listen. So there's no "tracks" yet? Just pick out our fav timeframe? ....that'll be a little hard, since I won't know how long or short we can have it...XD

[Chiikaboom]

@Kazemon15AMVer Length doesnt matter, just your favorite part in particular. Favorite timeframe would be easiest, but it can even be a whole song if you wanted.

[EveneshBL]

III ANGELIC, FALLING UP AND LOVERS AND LIARS.

I'm gonna audition, after I finish the project I started a few days ago Q_Q. Desu.

[gameboyX]

Sorry, I'm about 8 Internets from epic level so I can't join. Look forward to the team you put together though Oh Most Amazing Chii. And we super look forward to seeing you Win at Expo again.

[xTwistedL0gic]

hmmm, this looks cool. i would audition, but i'm no good at editing this type of music ;w; besides, i have a fudgeload of other MEP parts to finish before i even think about joining any others... oh well. looking forward to seeing the final project!

[lombaxsecret]

I think in the description you left out the word done here > Zerospace will either be or almost be done - I may be mistaken, I just can't say it without feeling like its wrong.

The songs are epic, I'm quite looking forward to seeing the result, I wish you all luck in the making of this ^^

[LilChikyChan]

this sounds like such a good idea *w* i seriously want to audition...but i must restrain myself! XD

i need to finish this mountain of mep parts i'm buried under first!

[11chiiyochan]

You need to create a new video to audition, right? No using existing AMVs?

[Chiikaboom]

@11chiiyochan ah yes you can use existing amvs! Thanks for pointing that out, ill fix it in the description :)

[11chiiyochan]

@Chiikaboom Ah, thanks ^^ No problem C:
