How to create an AMMV?

In my last post I discussed what an AMMV was and how its done. Now I'll teach you how to do it (in written form since as the time of writing I didn't make a vimeo account on how to make a AMMV) so you can show people how sorry you feel without giving a speech if you can't put it into words.

Here's what you'll need: • A good computer (self explanatory d'uh) with 4GB—8GB of RAM (16GB is recommended for HD stuff) and very good computer/video processor. • video editing software. You can use the one bulit into your OS (operating system) or you can download one from AVS (you may need the audio editor for more accurate adjustments). You can also purchase Sony Vegas Pro, Final Cut Pro 7 (get it while its now available), FCPX (you need a stronger Apple machine for that), After Effects, or Premiere Pro. Photoshop has a video editor (CS4+) if you have Photoshop skills but it uses keyframes, fades, and etc like an audio editor I use FCP7 and After Effects. I've recently forgot Sony Vegas Pro. • Footage. This perhaps the most important rule other than learning video editing. Shoot your video at least 1080p if you can. If not, go to 720p. The reason for this is because; lets say you wanted to zoom in (close-up shot) without using the zoom on your camera. Well now you can. Its better if you just keep rolling the shot rather than starting and stopping every single time. If you cannot do this and the film or digital film (I call it that because since no one uses actual film anymore) is already shot that way then import it into your video editor. • Music. You want to tell their story through a song that fits motion picture even if its not your type of music. That means NO heavy metal, punk, gothic, etc. You want Pop, Rock, OST, instrumental, old school music like 70s-90s, etc. • basic-moderate skills: This is critical for understanding what and how video editing works. Better start learning audio and video language from wikipedia. The best way to learn is video editing articles or tutorials. I basically self-taught myself first then I took a class (several I might add) to further up my game.

Memoir PT I

A few months ago, I've started writing again and in the process of writing not one but two books. One is memoir and the other is a script for an AMMV (Animation Memorial Music Video) I'm working on for kid I barely knew in grade school. All I know is name was Travis. He had lots of friends and some of them I know, but I barely talked to him. I feel like I should make this AMMV which is dedicated in his memory because even though I hardly knew him, I want to do something nice. You see, not only that I'm a writer—I'm also a video editor (which I think I'm good one at that). I've started video editing in early 2006 when I first heard of YouTube. However, I entered the virtual world of AMV video editing. I made lots of friends though the AMV World. AMVs are different that traditional video editing. It requires the mastery art of compositing and video editing which is either created by ones self or more people involved. In my past video editing career, I did pretty much everything including anime. I did relationships, horrific events, life, and everything in between. I couldn't show you my works due to the Viacom incident of '08 and thus terminating my account and to make matters worse, my hard drive suffered data corruption following by a hard drive crash which knocked out my video editing reels.  I've came back in '11 knowing new rules have been in place and sharing my creative talent with you is somewhat very limited than it used to. When Google bought YouTube, I and many other users thought it wouldn't be bad. BOY DID WE UNDERESTIMATE IT! Now Google requires you to have a Gmail account to use YouTube which I think is downright stupid. Personally, I've never use Gmail since they share your email with 3rd party advertising companies. If you don't have a Gmail account and you want to use YouTube, Google will convert your email account to their Gmail services for you. I think Google should be sued for privacy concerns and making users convert their email to Gmail services. They should let us choose what services we want without the inconvenience of using online services. I know privacy is pretty much dead but don't we deserve some privacy without the 3rd party catch to signing up?  Anyways, I'm getting off topic. AMMVs are unheard of so I'm pretty much the only person who knows about this new genre. Here's what it looks like: • AMMVs vs AMVs AMMVs follow the same rules as AMVs, but AMMVs are memorial music videos that help sooth the hurt. They are no way trying to insult the victim who passed. AMMVs tell their story. I guess you can call it a hymn. AMVs use Japanese anime (e.g. like Naruto) to tell the story between two or more characters using one song of the editors choosing.

•AMMVs: AMMVs are hard to work with due to their extremely limited resources available. It has 'clean effects' like you would see in Cold Case with matching audio. There's is no wiki article about AMMVs so I'm telling you what's in it. AMMVs are meant to say goodbye to a loved one who has passed and the only way to say goodbye is to dedicate a video to that person rather giving a long speech about that person if that editor couldn't put it into words. No money is ever excepted. Ever!
