This is somthing I made for my Anime Club its called "Anime Heaven". It is basically my attempt at somthing like AMV hell, and its the first time I've taken on a video project this big.
If some of you could be so kind as to watch it and give me some constuctive critisism that would be great. That way I would know what to do if I decide to make a sequel. I made 2 version a clean edited version, and an explicit uncut version. Both versions consist of 2 10 minutes parts. Edited clean version: Part 1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gplK8ojENWE Part 2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO6x3oXWkTs Explicit Uncut Version: Part 1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii8pyU-Lhy8 Part 2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ADJWSCYU8 Thank you for your opinions and time (P.S. to mods I didn't really know where to post this, so srry in advance if I put it in the wrong place, or broke any rules) |

Sadly, your videos are not available in my country. Just more disturbing anti-Canadianism, I tells ya!

If Yami's willing to send them to me, I can host on my web site for you (or others) to view if it's really that important to you.

Well, I admit that the "explicit uncut version" designation intrigued me...

OK, to be honest, when I was thinking anime parody, I was thinking it was going to be something along the lines of Evangelion: ReDeath or something to that effect. But there's nothing wrong with making AMV Hell-esque videos. So I will try to offer some constructive criticism where I can. 1. Please don't used anime clips with sub titles. Its distracting and takes away from the dub job you worked on. Either rip a DVD or download raws to get non subtitled anime. And if you can't, then try not to use them. I don't know how other people feel about this, but I've always hated it in AMVs. 2. To much family guy. I'm a fan of the show, but it gets used too much. eh, especially the "mommy" clip 
3. Be more creative and original. I saw more than a few similarities to the AMV Hell series. The "Finger Bang" song being one example (and the static breaks too). 4. Actually that's about it. While not my cup o' tea, there were a few parts that made me lol a bit (Ryuk to the SB techno, DBZ clip "making small rocks...", and the "under wear" song).

Umm... Okay, now that I'm home and couldn't wait to view the uncut videos, I have to say they weren't what I was expecting. Remember, constructive criticism, okay? Don't throw rocks at me. Let me start off with the positives, it'll help weaken the blow a bit. First, I really did like the editing where it matched well with the music. That's pretty good skill to crop/match based on the even the slightest changes in the music. Second, Lucky Star characters always fun to watch. But, that's about it for the positives. For the negatives, I wasn't fond of being greeted with screeching music from a video game. Sorry, but that's just me. The Mario Death To Video Game Music score has been played too many times to be considered entertaining now. I agree with the subtitles. Lose 'em. I'm also not a fan of "stop and block text" to display a message. It destroys the flow of what starts out pretty good. Use transitions and overlays. They're much more effective and doesn't stop the flow. Finally, 10 minutes is way too long through the rollercoaster of quick changes. You may want to shave these down to 3 minute clips. They'd be more entertaining without the "oh, crap... is it over yet?" feeling. Again, great skills on matching up music despite my personal dislike of the songs selected. After you get some more feedback, and redo it, let us know.

Yeah, and I'll link to the Animemusicvideos.org tutorial for removing subtitles. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/subremoval/default.htm |

I only watched part 1 edited (I'll check on the rest later), but I have to agree with the above sentiments to lose the subtitles and cut down some of the clips. Remember, you really only need enough to get your joke across, then you need to move on so we don't get bored. Specifically, cut down the rickroll, 'mommy', and take out part of the Voltron transformation. (Actually, for me, I'd like to see that whole clip cut out- it wasn't spliced together very well, so it was more of a 'oh, that's where this is going' than a laugh.)

I really would appreciate some constructive criticism on these parodies of mine. My friends and I made these and just want some feedback. We've been doing this for about a year and a half now so we know our way somewhat but not really. =D Don't be shy to speak your mind!
http://www.youtube.com/user/2GuysAnd1More The playlists on the side have all our videos in them. Be warned very explicit language! |

Wrong website.
This belongs on newgrounds. Yeah definitely. I'm comparing your vids to theirs. Hmm surprised I remembered that website. Haven't been there in years www.newgrounds.com Oh yeah opinions um well I'm not familar with parodies in general. What's good: Short Simple jokes Voice acting is good. What's to be expected from those types of videos What]s bad: I don't know, but if you want to get better I'd recommend watching these videos. It's not the same as what you are doing, but similar. You can adopt some of their techniques. http://www.spill.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/spillcom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezY69wHQZJM (It's comedy, chill people) |

Newgrounds would be great for our videos but we are not good at flash. If we were I'm sure we would be all over that site. We've been huge Newgrounds fans for a long time. I'm not surprised you see similarities to the humor from there.
The spill guys are great too. Just some guys speaking their minds always gives up some laughs. Thanks for your feedback we really appreciate it! |
