Welcome to the August 13 edition of the BellaOnline Anime Newsletter!
This week, I posted a series of five articles into the "Special Features" are of site that talk about creating anime music videos (which are commonly known as AMVs for short). Over the course of the five articles, I talk about planning an anime music video, converting DVD footage into MPEG or WMV format, assembling a video, matching a soundtrack, and adding titles and credits. Links to all five articles are included later in this newsletter.
And if you haven't visited the Anime forum since the last newsletter, here are some discussions that you've missed:
*Saber Rider coming to DVD in the US
*Book about Spirited Away being released in the U.S.
If you'd like to join in on any of the current discussions, or if you would like to start a new discussion in the forum, you can find a link to the Anime forum later in this newsletter.
