And my manson video wasn't really influential, because no one has done anything similar to it. Still. After 5 years.

This video taught many people what sync really meant (both internal and beat/cut sync).

Maybe you can argue that it's a fairly logical kind of editing (that if he didn't do it, somebody else would have eventually), but nevertheless, it's there to have been popular enough and influence the masses.

Creator: Duane Johnson
Series: Ranma 1/2
Year: 1996
Why Influential: See above (or below)

Creator: Quu
Series: Shoujo Kakumei Utena
Year: 2001
Why Influential: Quu pioneered some of the ways to work with game footage, and his guide still works today for Sega Saturn footage. Particle Dance is entirely from the Utena game. It is also one of the earliest techno only videos I am aware of.

outlawed wrote:Personally I think if we want to talk about Duane Johnson's body of work Particle Man/DBZ is probably the most influential AMV. I say this because it was a short simple video that was massively sent around the net at a time when video distribution hadn't even taken off in the community yet. Some of editors who are now 20-somethings probably saw this in high school on some random website back during the modem years.
I don't see this being new in terms of music used. I'm pretty sure Ermac was already using electronic music before this as well as other videos. I'm pretty sure Maboroshi used what would qualify as techno in the myriad number of 90s stuff he pumped out. This AMV was certainly more influential at the time for proving how shitty ACen's old contests were run. You know something is wrong when the creator himself basically asks why did this win Drama =p

One of the best and longest "story" driven videos that really takes "storytelling" to a whole other level.
I'm surprised after 5 years it hasn't been duplicated. The closest thing to a short film on this site.

Out of contest? I thought he sent it to Anime Expo.
