So I've been procrastinating today, and as a result I decided to try and make Opening 12 better (I'm no video editor, mind you)...it's a hard task, so I'm hoping some of you guys at AP can do it! Just name it "Opening 12 - Make it Better" and get it on YouTube and let us know! We'll talk about it on the podcast next week. If you like it as is, then don't even worry about this thread.

Yeah, this is my version of opening 12, I made it really quickly and only cut out a couple of seconds off it. I think it came out pretty well. ^^

That last intro song is much better. And it's been use before! Dammit Toei.

I'll see if we can give a prize to the winner…

[slippy]

i like the way you went with it Faithful Shinigami. the classical, solemn music was a good idea.

maybe i'll reinstall my video editing program and try my hand at this as well

[Prae]

just saw this thread

[Don D.Dark]

I decided to change my entry because my last was to short so i made this one that is much bigger
So Here's my Last entry:

[Greg]

Fantastic idea Zach. I'm loving these.

[zmaster103]

Every single one of these is a million-billion times better than the original. Even Happy Days.

[slippy]

here are some i just whipped up. i'll see if i can find more songs that i think fit but i just decided to use these for now. and i don't edit well so these won't be good.

zmaster: yours is very good. i liked the editing and the song was perfect. i just don't think one piece would ever go for such a glum song even if it is appropriate =p

that's great zmaster! you all make me very happy!

[AlnaJames]

I'm sorry but… no >________>
Just no.
Do you guys SERIOUSLY claim the ones you posted have MORE DRIVE to it then the original? Geez~

[TLC]

a) This is just beating a dead horse.

b) After listening to some entries that were supposed to be "better", I concluded that the majority of this forum's taste in music sucks.

Thanks.
I was gonna go with TM Revolution's Resonance at first but, chose against it. (Kinda glad I did after looking at it, now)

[Seraph]

Haha, Sogeking version was amazing!
Although, I have to say I enjoy demonkicksanji's most. Not just because it was my favorite opening song, but it just would work with the opening really well.

[Super-chops]

Here's mine!

(The disclaimer that is in the first 6 seconds is not part of the opening, it's just something I put in my videos now)

[Zach Logan]

You guys are a hell of a lot better than I am at this. We'll definitely have a special episode/segment to talk about this (at least in part of it), so keep up the good work!

[The Dude]

someone send me an avi or whatever, I want in on this

[AlnaJames]

Super-Chops, now yours was really well done! =)))))

[TLC]

@Al!naJames:

Super-Chaos, now yours was really well done! =)))))

I'd be impressed if he didn't rip off the Fairy tail opening:/

[AlnaJames]

God lord why did you have to quote my terrible spelling fail DDDDDX HATE.
I'm so sorry Super-Chops >_<;

[Urouge]

I want to get in on this, but my RAM died, so no video editting until my replacement stuff arrives. I might submit a late entry in a few days or something.

[Hekti]

MKCE-aEPrvU

That's great!
Even when the song was used as opening before!
Well done

[Super-chops]

@Al!naJames:

Aw, thank you!

@Al!naJames:

LOL

It's okay! No harm done

[Sarlaccboy]

I have to agree with Al!naJames… There's parts of the original OP 12 that I like. I don't care if it's too kiddy, its upbeat and its got drive. One Piece isn't the most serious series out there either way. Yes, it's about Hell and war, but you have to admit, Oda puts the concepts on us lightly. Even during CP9 we had something upbeat.

[Kizuchan]

This post is deleted!

[Kaizoku Mele]

Uh, I should prob'bly mention this now….
Don D. Dark, Prae and Kizuchan your vids aren't showing up.

[Greg]

@The:

You can use this:

To easily rip mp4's of YT vids.

I decided to put off school work for an hour and make one myself.

or maybe I was just in the mood to listen to Toots and The Maytals?

Very nice, fits the prison and war scenes the best.

Goes with the fun theme of OP well and when it gets to the prison and war it makes laugh(in a good way). Makes me think they should puffing away but if that happened there would be no war," Hey Fire dude, why do we hate you again? Whatever, yo Kiji, frost my drank"

[gofish]

i'm not a a big fan of bleach but i love their opening song choices:
oy4wLY0UR90

it's not really a one piece type of song but i think it fits the mood. i added scenes from opening 11 so i dunno if this counts.

Awesome Babylon 5 opening is awesome.

I have a couple ideas, but my editing capabilities suck noodles. (I have a Mac)

[Dragon Warrior Steve]

Zach, you know I wanna do one. I'll try and see if I have time.

[slippy]

why do i suck at making videos. i keep playing around with stuff but the end results aren't good at all =/ i guess im not creative and should just give up

[zmaster103]

@Super-chops:

Here's mine!

Y5vCiPbx-JI

(The disclaimer that is in the first 6 seconds is not part of the opening, it's just something I put in my videos now)

That fits in really nicely with the both the happy/relaxed part and the war part.

@robbybevard:

Awesome Babylon 5 opening is awesome.

Yep, Babylon 5 is one of the few things that is above One Piece on my ranking list of literary awesomeness.

[J-Sack]

Here is my sad, sad attempt.

here's mine. The only good thing to come out of movie 5 in my opinion. Always wanted this to be an OP.

/me crumples up his computer and slouches away

[tarrin4ever]

My favorite three so far have been Demonkicksanji's,Kizuchan's and The Dude's.

Alright, I pieced this together in an hour. And I admit I cheated in a bit in the sense that I pulled some non-opening 12 clips.

And I suck at cropping music.

Oh my god that's the exact same song I told Zach to use but I didn't find an mp3 to send him!

On another note, I'd love for the next opening to be called Make it Better.

[Jammer]

Decided not to go with a Japanese song for my entry. But here it is!

That's awesome dude.

[Robby]

Someone throw Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" onto the thing starting from when we see Ace walking. Or even the Jen Saunders version from Shrek 2.

[dirt monkey AL]

AYbTUEx19K0

CLEARLY WINNER(?)

[Ace_san_is_awesome]

Well, here's my take on One Piece Opening 12. I know the quality's kinda crappy, but it's the best that I can do right now.
