[project] ~ A WORLD IS ONE ~ DVD
 

http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/1959/image6t.png


zoomzoom I hope you don't care I used it ^^


Hi!! Don't call me crazy!! I'm crazy, sure, but after the success with A WORLD IS ONE book I feel like doing it, and I'm sure we can do it!!

So let me explain what I'm thinking about!


Objective

I want to make a DVD (more than one) with lots of clips from as international fans as we can, and deliver it to Ayu or Ayu staff. Of course you can say what you want, but it has to be shorter than a letter, I think this is about to show our love to Ayu and show her that we are a lot and that we are all together more than tell her our life.


Final date

For me there's no final date. The book was thought to be ended for London, and, yes, we could put together 160 letters. But you all know that we are more than 160 fans. I'm reading how a lot of member that didn't send a letter regret it now. I don't want to have a final date because I want to have as many clips as possible, so that people will have time to do it, and everyone will know about that.

When we will deliver it? I don't know... The next time Ayu will come to Europe? If some of us goes to Japan and see her staff? I don't know, but for the next time we will be able to give something to Ayu, we will have it done.


EDIT! (29/01)

Seems like a good idea to have a deadline. At least for the DVD crew. Maybe we can set 31st of august as a deadline to have the animation, graphics and all this done?? At the same time we have to collect the clips and subtitling them. After the 31 of august we will keep collecting clips until we know we can give the DVD box to Ayu. (So until that day, the names on the booklet can't be done, nor the final credits cause we'll keep adding names ^^)

EDIT! (19/05)

Deadline * 31 October: This deadline is not official. I mean that it can be changed. For now it's possible that I will go to CDL next December, and I hope we will be able to deliver it to Ayu. IF I CAN'T go, or IF we CAN'T deliver it to Ayu there, we will keep the deadline as unknown until the next oportunity ^^ so you would be able to keep sending clips. The deadline is this cause once you send the clips we will have to finish the subtitles so I wanna have enough time ^^


Participation

As there's no final date, I hope everyone will do something, and I know that there's a lot of people here who are in other forums. Please, advertise this project so that everyone will know about it. We are a lot.

Copy this text, talk about "A WORLD IS ONE" book and its success, show Ayu's pic holding the book or her post in TA!! The fact that we were able to give 160 letters to Ayu will show people that it's posible to do this kind of things!!


What to do?

I've read in the thread of the fanbook about doing a DVD, and someone also said that maybe people doesn't feel comfortable showing their face or talking... For the clip you can do anything you want: you can show your Ayu collection, show your town/city, your dog, a teddy bear... anything... you can record your voice, or show messages... or you can be in front of a camera and talk to Ayu!! Anything!!

EDIT! (19/05)

There have been a lot of people saying that they CAN'T record a clip. Of course, even if this project is to do a DVD, the objective is to show Ayu messages from many fans, so I don't want people to be left out just because thay can't record it.

SO, JUST for those fans who can't record a clip, you can write a letter, just like in the book, 1 page, no more. I will do a little book with this letters.

This is NOT a second option. YOU have to record a clip if you can, this is just for those who can't do it. And you CAN'T do both things.



How to do it?


* 1min 30sec max. clip (you can -and it would be more interesting- to speak in your language, you can show your face or not, your town/city, your ayu collection... what you want!)
* No matter what language are you using, you have to send the English text of what are you saying on the clip (even if you speak in English) together with the clip. You don't have to do the subtitles, there will be people doing it, that's why we need the text.
* There's no problem of how you record it, the DVD crew will convert them.
* Also, do not worry about the subtitles, send the English text together with the clip, we will subtitle them ^^
* The clips have to be send to Hatix e-mail.
* As with the book, don't say anything about AHS or other forums.

REMEMBER

Send you video with a text document with what you said in English! You can speak in every language you want, even japanese, suahili, I don't care XDD But english text please!!

To do it easier for Hatix when sending your clip and english text put your NAME/USERNAME in the file name of both, the clip and the text.

For example:

Clip: aura~1.avi
Text: aura~2.doc



The result

My idea is do a DVD for Asia, another one for Europe, N. America, S. America, Africa (I can't think of an AHS member from Africa but it's possible!!) and Oceania. Also there have been the idea of a DVD with extras. There have been a lot of ideas, like send fanmade clips, covers, etc... It's ok to do this and Ayu will find it amazing for sure hahaha For now I'm sure that it will have the non-selected introductory videos from the contest. But before doing extras I want to have the clips. So after the clips deadline (for now it's 31/10) there will be still 1 month to deliver extras ^^

All DVD's will go all inside a box (like A COMPLETE), inside every CD case there will be a cover saying the continent and inside a booklet with the names of the fans in that DVD sorted by country. There will be also a general booklet in the box with a little introductory text of what is this box, the info of who did what -credits- (the staff), the non-selected covers for the box, a collage with fans pics with the RnRC tattoo, and... I don't know, you can give ideas.

Every DVD will have a menu to choose between countries.



_____________________________________


Is an ambitious project, I know, but we can do it if everyone helps, for example talk about it to other forums...

I started this project but I'll need help!!

If you want to help with it, say it here and I'll count you in!!

Also, people who will participate with the DVD (sending their clip) also say it here (and country) because I'll start a list.

This is a project and this is what I thought about it, but if you have more ideas or suggestions, please say it!!


___________________________________________


As it seems you all like the idea, you can start advertising about it on your forum, website, blog, facebook, youtube... everywhere!!!

Send the clips to this e-mail: hatix001[at]gmail[dot]com

you can send a link for medaupload, mediafire, etc...



______________________________________________


UPDATE 29/01

- Hatix will recieve the clips, will resize them, change the format, and put them together by country in a unique file??

- Work to do:

* The same introduction video for all the DVD, at the end of the intro there will be something (idea: DOME tour evolution glove opening adn showing the name of the continent) for the name of the continent. So only ONE persone have to do it... or we can accept clips and vote for the best???

* Animated menú for the DVD's (same for all or different depending on the continent??? only one person doing it or more??). In that menu Ayu will be able to select the countries.

* 3D Ayu (alterna88 working on it) this will go before the clips of one country (f.ex: 3DAyu "Here you have video messages from Germany!!" and clips start.

* Cover for the box and design for booklets and prologue-page (only one person doing it??) Also, Design for the DVD disc!!

* Subtitles (people doing it, we have to agree on doign the same type of text, size, colour, position... for all clips)

- for the booklets and cover there's no problem, I'll buy a booklet-type paper, and also for the DVD discs and print them! I'll record the DVD, but I hope people who knows about it will be able to put it all together (the intro before the menu, the 3D ayu before the clips of the respective country, etc..)


UPDATE 19/05


- I decided to get the design (box, booklets, cover, etc...) and the video introduction that will come in every DVD with 2 contests as with the AWiO book cover. It's fair that AHS users select the one that they think is the best one ^^ So please, I hope you all will participate! As with the book, the non-selected works (covers) will appear in the booklet, and the video intreoduction in another DVD with extras (about the extras, there have been a lot of ideas, those will be done after the main things ^^)

- We have 2 deadlines for now:

* 31 August: for the design, intro, menu, etc...
* 31 October: for you all to send the clips. This deadline is not official. I mean that it can be changed. For now it's possible that I will go to CDL next December, and I hope we will be able to deliver it to Ayu. IF I CAN'T go, or IF we CAN'T deliver it to Ayu there, we will keep the deadline as unknown until the next oportunity ^^ so you would be able to keep sending clips. The deadline is this cause once you send the clips we will have to finish the subtitles so I wanna have enough time ^^

- For now... I think I don't have to say anything more... Just... read again the rules and all info if you dont' remember sth, I've updated the "how to do" part with a new info about the files. It will be easier for Hatix to send him the clips and texts with the same file name to avoid confusion ^^ And don't forget about it, tell it to you ayufans friends or to other forums and sites!!

As I will do a contest to select the graphics and the intro clip, I only need people to do subtitles as Hatix already works on the encoding and there're already 2 who can work on the DVD.

~angel*ayumi~ 28th January 2010 03:32 PM

Sounds like a nice idea, and as we have no deadline I have enough time to clean up my flat and arrange everything.
Maybe I can also help with subtitles and graphics, depends if I can restore the deleted programs from my HDD.
Count me in^^

noidea 28th January 2010 03:37 PM

I'll definitely record a massage for this some time^^

CeReSu 28th January 2010 03:40 PM

OMG Laura is a very good idea!
Can I inform this project on my website and my forum?

So I participate (CeReSu from Belgium)

Maybe....

"Every DVD will have a menu to choose between countries."

a menu to choose between continent is much better I think.

Empry 28th January 2010 03:50 PM

I'll be very busy for the next 2 weeks but I'll be willing to participate in this project by submitting a clip and making the DVD Authoring, DVD Menus, Print Design and Motion Graphics.

Cherry Dynamite 28th January 2010 03:56 PM

I would love to participate. it's good that this project doesn't have a deadline because I'm quite busy with school to film or to make anything at this moment. I'd like to help advertising too. This is one great way to show our love for Ayu an I bet she'll love this!

nanakopy87 28th January 2010 04:00 PM

the clips are in what format?you are going to burn it into region 2 dvd?

Jassychan 28th January 2010 04:12 PM

wow nice idea!! And maybe a chance to be in one of your projects and give/say something to ayumi! :)
What program is the best (and free) to do a nice videoclip with pics?! (never done something like that XD) but if I have a good prog - I think I can do it!

AyUmIXx 28th January 2010 04:12 PM

wow this is exciting!
i'll promote this on my fanblog!! yay~~ <3
this will be great!

i think i'll cover up for the Indonesian fans..
I'll PM you for MSN email address, i would like to talk to you about :)

love in music 28th January 2010 04:30 PM

This is a great idea! I'll never get tired of expressing my love for her :laugh I'm in the US/California

Luja. 28th January 2010 04:47 PM

I'd love to participate! :D It's a great idea!
I am from Germany and can do some advertising among my friends and their friends here and on local pages.

I could help with the subtitles, too, but this depends on whether I will get a new (faster!) PC and how soon.

YAAAAYYY

Don't know it is going to be of help, but I'm an Animation student, and I can help with editing, subtitles and graphics!!
ALSO!! I had an Idea!! I can make a 3D cartoony or realistic version of Ayu and animate her singing or something... cartoony version would be simpler!! tee hee hee... But what do you think guys?! If there are others who work in 3D or know Maya I'd be happy to work together!! Please tell me if you think that's a good idea... =)

alterna88 28th January 2010 05:01 PM

here is my 3D examples of cartoony style I can do... =) http://alterna88.cgsociety.org/gallery/819687/

depends on how quickly you want to make it I might be able to make something in 3D =)

oh.... sorry for this... I've covered Russian fans... I've posted the message across Russian forum, hope this will help

ren0210989 28th January 2010 05:08 PM

awesome idea Laura, count me in, i can help you if you want ^^

here's an idea, most of us have youtube accounts ne? how about making the project there?
you put up a video of this idea there, and everyone makes his own entry and posts it as a video response there :)
that would help in gathering the vids and help find more people :)

kaggy87 28th January 2010 05:10 PM

it is a fantastic idea *_*
it were beautiful if ayu would see our videos *___________*

love in music 28th January 2010 05:13 PM

I have an idea.. it's just an idea, we don't have to use it. But maybe we could have an introduction video..like someone can make some really good video with different ayu clips... kind of like this from 1:05 to 3:06:
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/8Fi6YgLT6f0/

AyaCere 28th January 2010 05:15 PM

The idea is super sugoi! :D As I wrote a letter to Ayu I will also participate with the DVD project. Please add me to the list!

aura~ 28th January 2010 05:16 PM

I'm so glad you all like it!! *-*

Ok so, now that nanakopy said it, region 2 is european and also japan region, so yes... and about the clip format, someone that know about it, which is the best one to record in the DVD??

after saying it people can start sending clips!!

polka-dot-jewel 28th January 2010 05:16 PM

lol I completely misunderstood this at first. I got confused with talking about the DVD and the different countries / continents, heh. But, just for future references, for Ayu to absolutely view this in Japan, she'll need a Region 2 NTSC DVD. (There is a difference between Region 2 NTSC and PAL DVD's.)

Funny that this is popping up... A Lady Gaga fan is creating a "Lady Gaga for Love" video with fan pictures and videos :D I'll definitely be participating in both lol I'll definitely be participating in both! XD

°~Kitty~° 28th January 2010 05:23 PM

Count me in Laura =)
I'm so gonna do this, haha xD
Great idea :)

Hatix 28th January 2010 05:24 PM

I would love to have helped with the doing cutting work of the videos, but you seem to have that covered walking.proud.
As many people will probably record in different formats, I might help with conversion, if needed.

I could have a try at that intro video as well, like identity said. Or maybe background animation for the dvd menu using PVs? (this does not cover any graphics though, just video)
I am also able to do subtitling though. So work can be divided, we'll see who does what. The no-time-limit is an advantage though.

And yes, I will record an entry as well, so count me in on that :-)

ayufan- 28th January 2010 05:24 PM

Geat idea. I'am think already what I want to do. But if I have it, do I have to mail or something?

Hatix 28th January 2010 05:26 PM

As I suggested in my previous post, I can do conversion to DVD format (which is mpeg2, as DVD authoring software usually only accepts mpeg2). If you wish, you can record it with a small camera or webcam, and I will scale it up. But the higher the quality and resolution, the better. Like 720p HD can be scaled down to 480p for DVD.

And about the DVD region, since you're creating the DVD yourself, you can make a region 0 (free) NTSC dvd. Then it can be played on every DVD player.

aura~ 28th January 2010 05:46 PM

Ok Hatix, that will be great! that way peopel can record without caring about the format!! that's great if you help with that!!

@ren: your idea is nice, but if we do like this the clips will probably be not so HQ?? but you gave me another idea! what if we do a clip like a CM to promote the project on youtube?? then more fans that maybe are not in forums will see it!!

@alterna88&identity: love the introduccion idea!! maybe we can put something in 3D in the introduccion??

Thanks everyone who want to help!!

OK!! I can start making 3D Ayu now =) I'll make a cute cartoony version then... what song style do you guys think it should be?? or shall we wait for this london pv to come out... i really liked her stile in those london pics:D

Kesteral 28th January 2010 06:00 PM

I have something comming up in May that would be perfect to film for the DVD (I'm recreating one of Ayu's tour costumes). I didn't find out about the book until it was almost over and done with, so I would love to be part of this project. Please count me in too!

Love Appears 28th January 2010 06:04 PM

I am from the US and would definitely be interested. Count me in!

As a side note, I am graduating college with a degree covering graphic design/animation/multimedia and am also very experienced with subtitling and encoding, so please keep this in mind if you need more help with production.

miroro 28th January 2010 06:16 PM

count with me in this!!! <333
i'm from spain ~~

ahh! a video to ayu! this is greaat :laugh

aura~ 28th January 2010 06:24 PM

^the more the better!!

in some time when I'll get the first clips we can start talking together about it!!

The subtitling will be a lot of work, so if there's a lot of people it will be better!!

The design, we need design for:

* cover of the box
* different DVD covers (I still think that make 1 DVD by continent is better)
* booklets for every DVD (with the names of all fans in every DVD)
* little booklet with an introductory letter

The menu thing, for now I see 3 people that can do the DVD menus and animation design, you think you need more people??

also Hatix can do a intro video for the DVD's (it's posible to put an animation before she can get to the menu?? I imagine the same animation for every DVD, and at end of it put the name of the continent)

and alterna88 can do a cute ayu, great!! I'm thinking of puting a cute 3D ayu before, for example, the clips from germany fans, usa fans... like "here you have the message from your fans from germany!!" and maybe the animation could have something from every country, like the flag or sth!! I don't know if it's a lot of work for you alterna but there's no deadline so there's a lot of time!! I'm really excited with what you can do because it will give a huge professional feeling!!

what do you think???


for advertising, everyone can help!! Start announcing it everywhere!! everyone can record it as they want and sent it to me (my e-mail in the first post)

dulceku 28th January 2010 06:28 PM

I can't immediatly record my thing, but count me in for this :)

Ianieee 28th January 2010 06:31 PM

I would love to be in this :) Great Idea Laura

Hatix 28th January 2010 06:31 PM

3D ayu, maybe Ayupan ;p but it would be nice if it were a little different from Ayupan, something original :-)

I think it's best to have 1 person do 1 thing, so I'd like to take care of conversion of video formats.
On how to get the video to me, I propose uploading your video to an online storage site like MediaFire or Megaupoad (like it's done for the media downloads here on the forum). Then I can download it, and do the conversion.
Then I will make smaller low quality versions for the subtitlers, (which is easier to distribute, and less cpu heavy).
Besides the low quality version, will be the high quality 480p dvd version, which I will probably burn on the dvd and mail it to walking.proud using regular mail, as it will be quite a lot.
We'll have to do a little math, let's say you can get 1.5 hours on a single-layer dvd, that means if every clip has a maximum of 1.5 minutes, per dvd that means a minimum of 60 clips or more depending on the length of the clips. The fact that you want to make separate dvds for all continents makes it easier as well.

Just my idea, about trying to organize it :-)

kirei_ayumi 28th January 2010 06:32 PM

I'll participate, from USA of course :D
I can just record my voice and write text for subtitles
as I have no vidcam or anything :(

gallowsCalibrator 28th January 2010 06:32 PM

Wonderful idea! I'll definitely be doing this! (I'm from the USA)

I love the idea of a DVD~ :D

Hatix 28th January 2010 06:40 PM

I like the idea about having booklets and all. With the names of all the people in it, and maybe with a picture of them.

About the subtitles, it may be silly, but should we do them in English or Japanese?
I do think we need to put english subtitles on english spoken words as well, just to be sure Ayu will understand.

Abby 28th January 2010 06:44 PM

Hi! ^^

Well I just can say that after missing the opotunity to write a letter to AYU...WOW this is my chance! OUR CHANCE! I love the whole idea...I also think it would be awesome to have a multi-language Video! wow! I always dreamed about something like that! AYU will absolutely feel ~ALL our LOVE~! ^^

So I hope you count me in...for sending you my clip...and for helping with subs maybe?... but I have a prob... I'm from Venezuela (S. America), so I speak spanish perfectly well...but...I live in U.S.A (N. America)... 0///0 so...where should I say I'm from? lol.... anyways...I'm from both xD and I can help with any translation (if there are some people who speak spanish and wish to do their clip in spanish... ^^).... also...I'll take your idea to other forums and blogs! so, as you say, no one miss this chance...

Beautiful idea...as well as the fanbook...beautiful! *__*

people email to you the clips (not only the clips, also the english text for subtitles) and you do conversions and send them to the ones that will do the subtitles

So you will record the DVD's?? the users who will make the DVD animations, introduccion, will send them to you, it's ok??

The designs for cover and booklets will be send to me.

then you send me the DVD's and I'll do the material thing ^^

about subtitles.. The best would be japanese... but then we would need someone translating into Japanese.. and maybe it's a lot of work... so for now I think that everyone should talk in their language in the clip, and write what they say in english, and send to you the clip and teh translation for the subtitles...

@abby2009: If everyone writes in english what they say in the clip, it will be less work, but of course if someone needs helps with translation, let's help them!! about your location... XDD you have to decide where are you from ^^

I'm glad to be of help. :D I think between all of us we can't go wrong!

About the subtitles, it may be silly, but should we do them in English or Japanese?
I do think we need to put english subtitles on english spoken words as well, just to be sure Ayu will understand.

I definitely think we should use english subtitles.

After all, we wrote the letters in english.
It may be possible for someone to translate everything to kanji once it's wrapping up, and perhaps include both, but I think simply the english ones would be fine. (We should also make sure they are grammatically proper!)

Hatix 28th January 2010 07:12 PM

(editing double post, AHS is being unavailable again ;p)

@walking.proud: you can put my email in the top post, but use my gmail: hatix001 [at] gmail [dot] com
I'll make data dvd's with all the videos in mpeg2 format, so you can put it together in your dvd authoring program (which I'm guessing you will do ?)
I'll collect the subtitles and put them on the same dvd as the video.

about the subtitles, it was just an idea. maybe IF someone could translate it to japanese (which would be a huge task), we can put that in the booklet too (including the english text) (just an idea).

ハート〜ブレーカ♥ 28th January 2010 07:18 PM

Hmm.. I'll do it! I'm in Canada. :)

aura~ 28th January 2010 07:32 PM

^

yeah, I will ^^ but it will be in a long time! so first we have to collect the clips, the more the better, and while we are collecting them we have to do the animation, designs for cover, booklets, DVD menus and subtitling ^^

alterna88 28th January 2010 07:39 PM

TO EVERYONE:

I'll be making 3D Ayu... And at the moment I have one question!! In what Ayu style do you want it to be?? I thought that NEXT LEVEL PV would be cute and fast to model in 3D, plus animating would be easy... T___T I hope... So who thinks what?? I'm open to your suggestions =)

ERIxKAMEI 28th January 2010 07:40 PM

i'll join! i'm from the netherlands. :)

jean-baptiste 28th January 2010 07:55 PM

i don't think i'll be participating this time.
it sounds a bit too much.

Max_ZZZ 28th January 2010 08:06 PM

I think NEXT LEVEL PV doesn't really represent Ayu. How about doing something that might even make her laugh or is really cute? Like cat-ayu(Duty, SURREAL) or one of her cutesy costumes(CDl0910 would look good animated I think...)

Hmmm... I had anouther Idea, maybe with Sunrise PV look...
I see what you mean about her older album look... hmmm... you've got me thinking now...

spanishfan 28th January 2010 08:34 PM

I had an Idea similar time ago, but not so ambicious.
I thought making a clip of some song (Who...? maybe) showing our lips singing the song, it would be like 5 seconds for person and in the corner as the TV channel spots a flag of our country.
What do you think? It's only an idea without thinking too much so it could be better, any suggestions?

Of course, I'm going on this proyect ^^

relmy 28th January 2010 08:48 PM

Count me in for sure! :D This is an awesome idea!

Now I just have to decide what I want to say to her~

This is an AWESOME idea! It'd be the perfect bonus, maybe at the end of the messages? We could break the song into lines and get everyone interested their own little part. I'd love that!

~angel*ayumi~ 28th January 2010 09:04 PM

It also whould be nice to maybe have an additional DVD with fanvideos (you know some cutting together of different Pvs and so on) and maybe a Bonus CD with Top3 Remixes from our past Remix contests, maybe als Top3 of our past karaoke contests...
This will be a big big box XD

aura~ 28th January 2010 09:16 PM

^oh yeah! I love the bonus DVD!! people singing, remixes, the playback think, fan videos!! It's great!!!

luna7996 28th January 2010 09:28 PM

Me and my friend want to be in it as well. We are from Puerto Rico....North America I guess....:D

alterna88 28th January 2010 09:49 PM

ok here are the options...

I can easily model those fewAyu styles... I'd be able to do more or less anything, but depending on the time limit we have, I might not be able to make anything complex :no

our options are:
1 Ayu in Evolution
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/9...volution20.jpg

2 Ayu in Alterna
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/359/52alterna30.jpg

3 Ayu in talking to myself
http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2...n2myself11.jpg

4 Ayu in Sunrise
http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/5148/83sunrise02.jpg

5 Ayu from her london music video
http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/6153/56516871.jpg
which nobody knows when is gonna be out...=(

So what do you think??

I like evolution and Alterna look... he he he... she is cute there..plus evolution is really popular among all fans and it is one of her most fav songs...

aura~ 28th January 2010 09:57 PM

^I also liek evolution and alterna ^^ vote for alterna ^^ cutee!

noidea 28th January 2010 10:01 PM

alterna would be amazing!

YuriChan 28th January 2010 10:02 PM

Hey umm... I have a question! ^^; Is it ok to send my fan-made PVs for this project? :)

Hatix 28th January 2010 10:04 PM

Ending credits on every dvd, should have Who... playing in the background. I think it's THE favorite ending song of every fan, it never bores.

I also like evolution & alterna ;p (and evolution from Dome Tour? ^^ was just listening to a dome tour audio rip)

A moment ago I was thinking about the intro or menu background, an idea I was thinking about was making a 3d animation of the spinning golden globe that opens up at the start of Dome Tour. And having the name of the continent coming out of it or something. Might be some work to do though. I'm just brain storming.

spanishfan 28th January 2010 10:18 PM

^Yeah, brainstorm

OMG alterna is one of my favourites PV/songs what do you think if the letter she received (that big letter which show's "Congratulations you're the stars" or something), in that paper show the continent/country 's name?

This is a great idea! Of course I will participate in this project. I also like the idea that you can speak your own language, as long as you add the subtitles. :yes

Hanabi_surreal 28th January 2010 10:52 PM

kendelle 29th January 2010 12:43 AM

I'd like to participate but at the moment I don't know how I can unless my webcam is good enough ;_; Still with no time limit I can always consider it.

I'd love to practice my Japanese and speak to her like that xDD The subs will stay on because I'll probably suck!

"Hajimemashite, Ayu-san...namae wa Kendelle desu....South Australia ni sundeimassssss..." and that's about as far as I'll get xD

pommy48 29th January 2010 12:48 AM

This is great! Count me in!! ♥ Now I just gotta find how to record...lol

nanakopy87 29th January 2010 01:11 AM

can i ask some ayu fans who is not AHS member to join also?

yep, that would definatelly bring out a HUGE amount of people, now the only question is if we can handle such a HUGE amount??
after all, it will be A LOT of work, ne?

also, about the subs thing, how about we make 2 subtitle files, one i english and one in japanese so Ayu can choose? :)
all we need is someone who can translate it into japanese.

also we should keep it pretty simple, sure the whole remix, singing, karaoke ideas are fun and nice, but it's all too much work.

keep it clean and simple, everyone makes a minute and a half video with his/her msg to Ayu and that's it.
we make the subs, organize the DVD's by continents, make the booklet, menu pages, an intorduction and that's it.
otherwise, we'll never actually realize and finish this project.

also it'd be cool if we ACTUALLY make a date limit, or it'll all just be too unorganized.

let's say the enteries should be sent until let's say, 25th September, that way we can make all the subs until the end of October, and we can give it to her at the end of a new decade, 2010 :)

alterna88 29th January 2010 02:03 AM

he he he... well here is the little pre-view of the 3D AYU... not exactly cartoont, but I thought "If I can do it... That would be super!" So here it is =)

http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1...000814copy.jpg

It still need some tweeks... I mean the ears are the problem, but you don't reallysee them with the hair style she has in Alterna =D

All I nneed now is the body and hair!! XD lol... =D

MissElin_ 29th January 2010 02:28 AM

Oooh this is a great idea! And I thought that the book was extravagant. This will be really amazing! Just think Ayu snuggeling up in the sofa watching this. Lol.

Im for Sweden and Im absolutely in!

panda♥ 29th January 2010 02:41 AM

i'd love to participate! :)

Lizzyboo 29th January 2010 03:16 AM

I didnt find out about the book until it was too late so im so all over this! count me in for the U.S.! :D also i can help with the introduction video if you need it, im going to college to be an editor. Maybe i can create a sample intro to show you? either way, this is totally exciting! :)

AyUta 29th January 2010 03:34 AM

Ayumi_lover, Ukraine

I just have exam today so I will write my ideas about this tomorrow^^ haha

zoomzoom 29th January 2010 05:27 AM

It's slightly ambitious, but definitely not impossible. Biggest problem will be delivery of course, I think patience will be necessary. That does give everyone a chance to enter, since the book was done really fast and a lot of people didn't catch the announcement in time.

In any case, if graphic help is needed, I'll be able to help for sure.

Also, if I could possibly help in anyway, I'm free to do so...

...nice to meet everyone, I suppose? ^^;

Ayumi27 29th January 2010 06:14 AM

Ambitious, but those participating could have more time to develop the idea they want to convey... And possibly someone can deliver to her when she makes a late-2010 trip to Hawaii/Bali, etc, or maybe return to mainland States

kuri♥ayu 29th January 2010 07:02 AM

i'd love to participate as well! i'm from the us :)

y_nathz 29th January 2010 12:09 PM

COUNT ME IN !!!!
I'm from Indonesia !!! :D

Btw I will just record myself talking about my Ayu collections or anything in English or whatever and put subtitles right ?
But I don't know how to put subtitles on a video, so can I just record it send it to you and put the text on the e-mail and someone will fix it ?

Help me please.... :(

And btw, nice to meet you tenez :D

toniayu 29th January 2010 12:19 PM

ooh that good idea, I put my video but do not like ..., it would have to put here?

AyUmIXx 29th January 2010 02:06 PM

^ Hoi Y_nathz!!
I think i'll cover for Indonesian fans (but from the Indonesia forum), well it's up to you whether you will send to me the clips, or directly to either one of project moderators here :) hehe :)

Chef+Vanny 29th January 2010 02:34 PM

Ola!
My butts in for this mega project :lech
:lech
Vannyssa,Indonesia

*I'll be speaking in English,so I have to type out whatever I spoke in the text format and send it? The subtitles part is done by the project crew right?

Abby 29th January 2010 05:05 PM

Ok...I'll choose Venezuela and I'll speak in spanish ^^

I'll start making my video TODAY! *__*

aura~ 29th January 2010 05:51 PM

Ok, commenting all ideas:

- First, officially, all clips to HATIX (I have to put your e-mail on the first post -I haven't received any clip yet, so no problem ^^)

- The dead line... well... I think that maybe the users doing animation, graphics, booklets, menu animation and se, maybe we should have a deadline.. like end of august, until august keep collecting clips and subtitling.. after all the menu, graphic thing is done, we can keep collecting clips and when we know we can give it to her, then finish it, but we will already have all the visually side done ^^

- love the credit thing with who... ^^!! About the DVD menu, everyone agree that inside every continent DVD she will be able to select countries?? Or have an all together file and put before a country starts a title like "BELGIUM" then clips, after that without going to any menu "CROATIA" and al clips??

- love the idea of the evolution glove!! The same introduction in all DVD and when it ends the glove and the name of the continent of the DVD!! And after that.. Going to a menu, or directly to the clips??

- About the bonus DVD... well... that is not the main focus of the project, so once we have finished the clips thing, we can think on doing the bonus DVD ^^

- Not only you can ask other fans not from AHS, YOU MUST!! ahahaha no, seriously, I would like to have as fans as possible not only AHS users!! Let’s go to an ayu forum from your country and advertise it! Talk about the success with A WORLD IS ONE BOOK, that ayu has our letters!!! this will attract fans!!

- wow great alterna88!!! Thanks for your dedication T____T!!!

- the delivery... yeah it's the problem.. We don't have deadline.. So when we'll find a moment to give her we will have it done... for now, as we don't know when, I'll have the box, but if there's a moment that someone can deliver it I'll send it to that person ^^


Okey so.. to sum up about the instructions:

- 1min 30sec max. clip (you can -and it would be more interesting- to speak in your language, you can show your face or not, your town/city, your ayu collection... what you want!)
- No matter what language are you using, you have to send the English text of what are you saying on the clip (even if you speak in English) together with the clip. You don't have to do the subtitles, there will be people doing it, that's why we need the text.
- The clips have to be send to Hatix e-mail, he will convert them and resize... everything. He will send a small version of the clip to the ones making the subtitles, having the clips and the subtitles, we only need to have the introduction, credits and in menu animation. Then I'll record the DVD. At the same time the graphics for covers and booklet will also be done. Of course until we won't have all the clips and all the names it won't be recorded because our names/usernames will go on the booklet and credits in the DVD ^^

That’s all I think!!

For now I think we have enough people in the animation section, Hatix are you ok alone?? I'll e-mail the animation crew to start talking about who does what ^^

for the subtitling, we also have a lot, but are also people doing animation... mmm, well let's go section by section, first animation, then subtitling XDD


I'm excited about it!! Everyone advertise it in your forum and talk about the success with the book!!!

CeReSu 29th January 2010 06:17 PM

Laura, I'll promote your project on my forum and website.
I think that I'll transfer to you all of the vidéos I'll receive from my members after they finished!

aura~ 29th January 2010 06:23 PM

^thankyou!! But send them to Hatix ^^ He's who have to work with them! remember, the clip and the text ^^!!


EDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

UPDATE 29/01

- Hatix will recieve the clips, will resize them, change the format, and put them together by country in a unique file??

- Work to do:

* The same introduction video for all the DVD, at the end of the intro there will be something (idea: DOME tour evolution glove opening adn showing the name of the continent) for the name of the continent. So only ONE persone have to do it... or we can accept clips and vote for the best???

* Animated menú for the DVD's (same for all or different depending on the continent??? only one person doing it or more??). In that menu Ayu will be able to select the countries.

* 3D Ayu (alterna88 working on it) this will go before the clips of one country (f.ex: 3DAyu "Here you have video messages from Germany!!" and clips start.

* Cover for the box and design for booklets and prologue-page (only one person doing it??) Also, Design for the DVD disc!!

* Subtitles (people doing it, we have to agree on doign the same type of text, size, colour, position... for all clips)

- for the booklets and cover there's no problem, I'll buy a booklet-type paper, and also for the DVD discs and print them! I'll record the DVD, but I hope people who knows about it will be able to put it all together (the intro before the menu, the 3D ayu before the clips of the respective country, etc..)



56 members want to participate!! ONLY ONE DAY!! so happy!! please tell your friends that you know that are ayufans, forums etc...- and send their clips with your!!! *-*

Anna Willow 29th January 2010 08:01 PM

It's an amazing idea!
I just sent this to my friends at AyuBrasil.
Ayu has lots of brazilian fans, and we will join the project for sure! :D

CeReSu 29th January 2010 08:06 PM

Promote is done on my website, my forum, my facebook page (of my website) and others forums I know!

tasking 29th January 2010 08:26 PM

I'll record a message also!

edit: I'm from the US ^^

polka-dot-jewel 29th January 2010 09:01 PM

Should our videos be in fullscreen or widescreen, or does it not matter? I don't have a videocamera, but I do have a digital camera that records, so I'll be using that, and the highest resolution that can be set to is 848x480 (Widescreen).

Also... Should we wait until Ayu goes somewhere, or should we send it to the official TA address? We have plenty of members here who are in TA who can send Ayu a message saying, "We're going to send you a DVD soon, with video messages from your international fans... Please do not send it back!" Or we can have somebody who's in London to talk to Ayu and / or Stan to talk about where to send the video to if we decide to send it to the TA headquarters?

noidea 29th January 2010 09:44 PM

^ Thats exactly DVD resolution your camera records. So it should be perfect.(Assuming Ayu most likely has a fairly new, expensive TV, so it's widescreen)

aura~ 29th January 2010 09:46 PM

^well yeah, I'm in TA so I would be able to send that e-mail! For now we still don't knwo when or where we will give it to Ayu. It's a long-term project, so for me the most important thing is to collect as meny clips as possible, cause we are a lot!! the more the better!! I've a list on the first post, 57 users in 1 day are gonna do this!! I want to give time to people to think about what they wanna do, and try and do it many times if necessary ^^!! When we will have a lot and we know we can give it to Ayu, then we will think how to do it ^^

About the video quality... of course if you can record it in a better quality it's better, but HAtix shoudl answer this question cause it's him who will convert and encode it! Not everyone can record the messages the same way...

Say, it would be crazy if in some concert venue I, for example, would be waiting outside when she does rehearsals and ask to a staff member (or band members) to say her or to Stan, that a fan who met her in London wants to give her a big present from her international fans who also did A WORLD IS ONE book?? XDD You know... I can imagina mayself waiting outside yoyogi until late (i don't care, there's taxis right? XDD) when she goes out and ask Stan... XDDD
