This sounds interesting! I'll just wait till I get through my college exams to start making something (I've already got an idea!)
|

Hopefully more people join this contest. |
Wow another contest!
Hope I could join it <3 Can you give an example for the video? |
Oh great, I was just planning a new Ayu video :)

5mins duration might b a bit of difficulty as most ayu's hit songs overshot 5mins. Maybe a 6mins duration would be better ^^"
|
^thinking about it..you are right...
the duration need to be a little longer maybe around 6-7 minutes |
Yeah the song I wanted to work with is longer :(
|
Part of the challenge of this contest is editing and mixing your material to fit the time limit.
|
m... I have an idea.. not sure if I'll be able to do it %)
|
Thanks for your answers MissElin & AHS Staff!
Sure I'll put some ideas on it! |
I wish I could do these kind of stuff.... :scry the prize is pretty awesome...
|
So that pretty much means...we can't do music videos unless we take a short song or somehow remix it...ok, I'm out...I'm not gonna bastardize an Ayu song. My concept is a few seconds too long -.-
We ARE allowed to create our video from original video footage though, right? Cause then I could just cut off the last seconds of the song and let people use their imagination for the last part lol |
^Like Tim Gunn says it: "Make it work!"
^_^ |

will english songs be allowed for this contest? or will the download forum rules applies to this contest too?
|
Can it be something like this I have made before? :3

Cool, I will definitely consider entering this. I love making fanvids. ♥
I haven't made one in like... more than a year now. Never made one for Ayu though. |
I have an idea, but it's so hard to create.. never worked in video redactors

About the prize. Does it have to be ONLY a CD, or can it be the typical combo of CD and DVD? You know, the CD with a DVD containing the music videoes and making of the music videoes. : P
|
^thanks, I'll try
|
I want to enter but i dont know how to make the video under 100 mb :\ my movie maker makes them huge for some reason.....what to do.... *sigh*
|
^make it as big as you want, then convert it to lower resolution or other format...i think it will work
|
must ayu appear on the video?or only her song?

Ohhh I really want to make this ^^
But I have some questions. An option is to make a video for a song, right? Can we send a video we made time ago if it was not diffused? |

I really want to enter this! I'm in Australia and my exams are craptastically busy at the moment! I won't be able to finish my short film for this until the 27th! PLEASE Can you just extend it a little bit :( I want to prove to this forum I'm more than just some... random person on AHS that posts obvious Nami Tamaki promotions! (Unintentional that time... Awesome).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :'( |

I posted it on a video site which can be viewed only inside China. So does that mean this video is not eligible?What if I delete the online one,and do some editing to the orginal video?I really want to take this contest!THX. |

Extension of deadline
The deadline has been extended to 03 December 2011.
When you enter please let us know the title of your film. You may also include a brief statement explaining the content of your video and how it was made. |
Ohh deadline extended...maybe I will participate after all. :)
|
YAY! An extension! =D
|

|
I was just coming to this thread to say I probably won't make it in time, but the extension MAY change that :)
|
one question, what if you do a mash-up with ayu video with a US artist like say britney spears would that be ok?
and another questionm its kinda the same as the first but, what about audio could it also a mash-up like ayu x "insert US artist" mash-up? EDIT: and would i need to ask permission to use the mash-up audio, and but if i do get permission would still be ok? and the person is from here |
Quote:
As for the mash up I'm not sure whether this applies. DO NOT use artwork created/edited by someone else to make your entry. This means that the source materials must be only official TV spots, PV, films, songs, etc. You can't just modify another person's fan art or videos. |
^thank you for your help ^_^
|
Quote:
Any other way a video contest would feel rather watered down, too haha |
Quote:
Btw, if you have a question that would reveal details about your entry please PM the question to AHS Staff instead of posting it here. |
I heard a song I chose for video so many times today, that started to hate it %)

reminder
The deadline to enter is about 35 hours from the time of this post.
|
Aah, I hope I'm able to finish mine till the deadline >__< [Thank god for 7 hours difference, I have some time tomorrow as well..] but really, I don't wanna fail to enter, I have dedicated over 12 hours [about 6 hours/day] nonstop for this, and it isn't even ready [I'm missing about 30 seconds of material, but I tell you, in video editing that's like you would have an hour left XD]
How's others videos are? Would you change the deadline just for a day or two? That we would have the weekend as well. But well, I'll try my best! |
^ They've already extended it once. D:
|
so excited for this contest ^^
Hopefully there's alot of submits. Hoping to see creative and nice PVs from fellow AHSs |
My video is now ready, but the problem is that it's actually over the size limit and is 144MB. I have no options to get it any smaller, as I don't wanna loose the HD/Widescreen quality. So please, don't disqualifie me just because the file is little bigger >__<
EDIT: Sent the video and summary~ |
^Maybe you should send in you video again but within the size limit just to be sure to get your video into the contest. :)
Cuz naturally I would love to have HD in my video too but I had to make the quality less good to make it fit within the rules so... |
Quote:
|
^Yeah I'm sorry but that's just the rules. My videos quality isn't really awesome and it's kind of grainy. But the quailty isn't what matters in the end, it's the video itself and ppl will still see your thought behind it. So I think you will be okay even if the quality gets lower for you too. :)
|
Oh wow, wish I could've helped you guys! I encountered the same problem the with the quality:size thing, until I found this awesome free video converter that could actually convert my video into another format and barely affecting its quality! The file size was reduced to 20% of its original size!
Well anyway, here's the link for future use, I suppose :) http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/ Have we passed the deadline yet? I'm horrible with time zones XD |
Quote:
|
^^That's a great tip maj! Thank you! Now, the deadline is already over but I will keep that one till the next time! :)
|
Quote:
|
I sure did. :)
I will be great fun to see all the other videos! |
I wasn't able to get my friends together for shooting in time :/ Sucks cause the concept has been standing since FIVE was released literally. I'll just enjoy the videos in the contest then and shoot mine sometime later :)
A bit late for that, but: If you want to convert your files to smaller sizes without affecting video quality too much I suggest converting to a H264 format(it's the leading format in distribution of small files with good qualities, .avi(especially DivX and XVid, horrible formats, generally gets you bad quality in small filesizes, as does .mpg so I would never suggest those, they are outdated formats), that can be .mp4, .mov or .mkv for example. And putting the resolution to SD should be the best way to leave enough quality and stay below 100mb.(Set the audio to mp3 128bit/s stereo, that can save you another 3-30MB) Handbrake and XMedia Recode(both free) are very good programs for that process. |

I wanna see others videos! X3~ *Excited* Oh hey, are those who are participating in the contest able to vote or not? : o |
Quote:
And thanks for the tips. I never understood video formats and sub-formats (is it?) but deep down I always knew I preferred .mp4 and .mkv for some reason and this explanation justified it! :D I would love to learn more video-making, gah, I wish I have the time! |

And if you got any questions about video formats, encoding or editing you can just PM me ;) I'm always glad to help. |
