This is the thread where we inflate already massive egos talk about our favorite editors and how they and other people we know in the community have influenced us or have helped us to improve our editing over the years.
Who are some of your favorite editors?
Who here in the community has offered a lot constructive feedback that helped you to improve your editing?
If by community you mean all the AMVWorld.?? Then those will be Zevs, Trampler, Safira, Creed, Nyala.?? And in terms of feedback, AimoAio, El-Tjan, Ikore.?? Now if we talk this site as 'the community'??? Then I don't have a favorite editor and neither I consider anyone here as a good influence for me
Chiikaboom has always been one of my favorite editors. I can't really say that she has influenced me since our usual editing styles are almost polar opposites, but I remember the day when I first saw her Bellicos Avatar Music Video over 5 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s42OGpnBSxM I was so impressed by it that I immediately decided that I was gonna try to step up my game and become a better editor. I think that's when I really became serious about Avatar Music Video editing.
Two of my favorite editors are Hagaren Viper and Ileia because they're very good at making successful videos with minimal effects if any.
I also really like drewaconclusion because he always comes up with original ideas, and l33tmeatwad because he's a stickler for quality and encourages me to up mine (also I really like his text work)?
It'll have to be Chiikaboom. Back when I first getting into AMVs, hers (Sugardansen) was one of the first ones I saw that made me go "Holy, they can actually be *that* good?!"
Since then, I've added many more names to my favorite's list, which I keep tucked inside my Avatar Music Video Collection information file.
Ileia is my favorite. She always has consistent vids with great internal synch and lots of well thought out and clever concepts. There are a lot of shallow vids out there that have been done over and over again, and she avoids that and thinks outside the box. A majority of my favorite vids have been from her.
