Here's a brief explanation of an AMV Iron Chef. The anime is selected randomly from a list of 5. The song to be used is selected by the coordinator and is not provided until a few minutes before the match starts. Once it starts, I have a limited amount of time (usually 2 hours) to create a video.

This video isnt really good in the traditional sense. What makes it interesting is how it was made. As part of Sashimis Deaf Edit challenge, rather than edit with the music directly, I only had a metronome to work with as well as a text description of the song. I only heard the song for the first time several days after completing the video. Here are the rest of the editors videos for this challenge.

My level of difficulty was described as Very Challenging as I was not given very much to work with. This is the video as I heard it while editing.

I grew to hate and love these clicks, as they were my only method of syncing to the song.
The text description I was given to work with. I think mRC was assuming I was actually going to seek out and listen to the song myself before editing. I did not. I was given a few timecodes to work with, but they really only affected the 8-bit section in the middle. All other sync was pretty much just luck.
Song Description by mRC:
This is a rap song. Id recommend action, as there are a lot of gunshot sound effects that could be used for some really cool syncing. At around 1:13, Id recommend doing some sort of filter on it, mosaic or something, to fit with the theme of the lyrics/music. For clip types, at around 2:12 Id recommend some clips of characters sort of powering up, i.e. Goku going super saiyan or whatever you kids watch nowadays. If youre gonna work with this song, I STRONGLY suggest doing an anime mix, as this is also a mashup of this artists other songs. Depending on where you download the song, there is a spoken word bit at the end. You can cut that out if you want, or you can just roll with it. They also mention an album a lot in the chorus, so Id put some sort of music anime in there. Hope this helps ^o^
Vars/SQ made some helpful additions:
around 1:13 refers to 1:13 - 1:37 with a drop at 1:17
around 2:12 is weird
Its either referring to 1:57 - 2:14 because of the lyrics or 2:15 - 2:36 because of a tone shift
And also since I feel bad Im gonna cheat and just give you another timestamp that is in this section lol
2:15 music drops and is only vocals as a transition to another part of the song. 2:17 the music slams back in.

![[AMV] The Gliding of Hilda](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/brUaywu-s_c/hqdefault.jpg "[AMV] The Gliding of Hilda
Video: Hilda
Song: Glider by Japanese Breakfast - Sable OST
This video needs a bit of context. This song is from the video game Sable. In that game, you play a character who is embarking on a Gliding which is a coming-of-age journey that everyone in her clan does. The purpose of a Gliding is to go out into the world, do and experience all that you can, and decide who and what you want to be for the rest of your life. The opening of the game has you saying goodbye to your family, getting on your glider, and this song plays as you leave. It was a very emotional moment and I instantly fell in love with the song.
For the video, because the game has you riding a glider, I wanted to use as many scenes as possible of Hilda riding something. A woff, a boat, a bird, a water spirit, anything. That sense of being carried along on an adventure just shines through better that way. For the ending scene, I picked a clip that I thought accurately reflected my feelings at the end of the video game. It was a very bittersweet moment, when the adventure was over, and it was time to choose to move on, but I still had that desire to get back out there and experience the world.
Because I was limiting my scene selection to only riding/flying scenes, the video came together in less than a day. I almost uploaded it right away, but I decided to hold off and tweak it some more. I took an hour or so every day for the next week modifying it, switching things around, and tightening things up until I had it in a place I liked. Hope you enjoy it!")

We were given a playlist of 45 songs to choose from, and 100 hours to make whatever we wanted. I figured Love Death and Robots would be a pretty versatile source and ended up with plenty of ideas. This is the longest of the three, and flew together of the course of a Saturday.
