Hall of Fame?

[Kosmit]

The org has been around for quite some time. During that period many editors have come and gone. Newcomers often have no idea whose works from few years back are worth checking out (me included) so those videos are generally left untouched. Well, to be precise, VCA winners still get a lot of recognition, but many great editors have not won any of those awards, yet are still worth checking out either for enjoyment or for a lesson in AMV history.
So, why not introduce a Hall of fame for editors? Those, who had a great impact on AMVs throughout the years would be added with a short article about them, describing why they were chosen for the hall of fame. Think of editors like Kevin Caldwell, Koopiskeva or Nostromo. Of course we would need to have some rules in place - for example, only editors who started making AMVs at least 6 years ago would be eligible to join the hall of fame. That way editors, who are long retired from the hobby, would be the first ones in the hall of fame.

Any thoughts on the idea?

Sounds good to me.

I'm for it. I'm hardly familiar with pre-2003-ish big names, and new editors probably wouldn't be either.

Although it's all jumbled up and individual ideas aren't getting much attention, this prolly goes here...

I'd love to have this happen, but so many bad things will probably come out out it. Especially with all the circle jerking that's going on here.

It wouldn't be fair to an editor who makes really super awesome videos, is an awesome person in the community, but is uneligible because he/she hasn't made amvs for 6 years.

How would we judge who gets in though? Skills? Fame? These are all things that people would be opinionated about and argue over, im sure.

Aside from divvying up the entries into trite titles like 'Architect of Beat Sync' or 'Philosopher-Priest of Dual-VCRs' to specify older honorees from newer ones, there's still got to be a cut-off somewhere. Heck, 3 or 4 years might be enough for *some* editors, but anyone newer than that would likely be pushing into regular VCA territory.

I think it's a cool idea. I suppose there could be a panel of people who would vote on who gets into the hall of fame. Regular people could make nominations, but some panel of judges would have the final say. Maybe limit it to about 3 people being added into the hall of fame each year.

3 people per year is definitely not enough. It would take us till 2020 just to get to the 2001 editors if we're going to start with Vlad, Kevin Caldwell, Anna Exter, Maboroshi, Aluminum, etc.

I have a proposal to start this off in order to avoid circle jerking. I guarantee this will be interesting.

Instead of nominating other people right now, start off with yourself and only yourself. Tell us why you feel you deserve to be in this Hall of Fame. Seriously. I wonder how many people will actually be courageous to actually do this. If Beowulf doesn't start, I will.

Interesting idea but I think it should include people that has started a true revolution in the making of amvs. Someone that has changed the way we see the amvs
