Call for Video Editor for Evo2k10 Project

Is anyone interested in working on a possible Evo project? I know a lot of combo video makers, but not too many people who specialize in editing; and they’re all busy with prior commitments at the moment.

To give you an idea of the subject matter, it’s a fast-paced fighting game video but neither a combo nor glitch video. We’re looking at roughly five minutes of footage composed of well over a hundred short clips, so you’ll need to have solid video editing skills to keep it dynamic without going overboard or making it tacky. Also, part of the challenge will be dealing with a diverse range of fighting games, video codecs, resolutions, frame rates, and volume levels.

Keep in mind that the entire video must be finalized by June with at least a month to spare before Evo2k10. And we’ll need a working draft by the end of this month to give us an idea of what we’re missing, so we can fill in the blanks as soon as possible.

If this sounds intriguing/exciting, just leave a quick comment along with links to one or two of your projects to give me an idea of your style. I’ll look through every response and contact you directly. (Please don’t put your card in the hat if you’re not reasonably certain that you’ll be able to see this through to the end, or if you don’t know how to keep a secret.)

edit: In case anyone happens to be reading this and wondering what the project was – now that Evo has passed, i can proudly say it was sh/f Super Fireball Battle (premiered July 11th, 2010). Rithli did a phenomenal job editing the video and absolutely rocked the house!

    Hahaha i love it when everyone suddenly gets shy but it’s really not that big a deal. Number one rule of combo videos (or in this case non-combo videos) is never get intimidated.

    I don’t think it’s that we are shy but that not many of us are fluent with video editing programs :O.

    rithli: Awesome! Your Akatsuki Blitzkampf vids are still the most stylish tutorials out there. Can’t wait to see where you’ll take this project.

    siedler pompiani: Wow, thank you for offering sir. Your team’s editing has always been superb and somehow still gets better with every new video. But rithli and i already talked about it and i think his style would be perfect for this project, so he’s gonna do it. I can’t wait for Evo because i think everyone will enjoy this video when it’s completed.

    so who is the character that will be used for this years evo??? I seen ryu’s and I seen Guiles on youtube and I haven’t seen anyone elses how do I see them… btw I loved the Zangief one that was classic

    Haha nice try, but i’m not giving away any spoilers. Let’s just say it’s something different.

    And yeah, Guile and Ryu have been the only ones so far, though i guess Gief kinda sorta counts too.
