I.....guess this is the right place for this?

Postby drunken_lee » Wed Jul 06, 2005 3:18 pm

I'm a new member; just joined a while back. I joined because my friend said there were a lot of AMVs here, so I figured I may find a few good ones. But to be completely honest, I haven't found one AMV worth downloading. Now don't get me wrong; the effects and clips are awesome. But the music...............ugh *rips out spleen, puts it back, and rips it out again* However, this may be because I care only about Itachi, and due to the shortage of Itachi AMVs, they were all bound to be terrible. Anyway, I gave up on Itachi and I'm in the process of checking out AMVs of my other favorite characters Gaara and Rock Lee, but there seems to be a larger collection. So instead of downloading every single one of them, anyone care to tell me which ones are worth it? But yeah, I'm EXTREMELY picky. Most bands I hate, but some bands I hate have 1 or 2 decent songs. I have no favorite type of music, though that's mostly because I dislike them all. Yes, I'm confused too. But I just wanna know which ones are the absolute best. The ABSOLUTE best. That way there's at least a 30% chance I'll like it. >_>;

So you hate all kinds of music, yet you want to download AMV's? Also, it's probably not smart to beso selective, because it seems to me that your expectations are unrealistic IMO, no offence.

This is a section where you should make suggestions for AMV and not beg for recommendations. There already exists a section for recommended videos.

Well for Gaara I would Suggest Enter Gaara or Gaara's Terror, but I haven't seen many good lee vids.[/url]

Well your not going to get anywhere if your so picky, but onew of the ones that I really like is 'My Way'. It's not technically a Lee or Gaara tribute, but the creator focused a lot of the video's message on Bothe Lee and Gaara.(As well as Naruto and Sasuke) I hope I helped you a little.

P.S.-You know, if ti turns out you don't like the vid you can always delete and go looking for some other ones.

Or you can try making one??

I mean.... it's alot easier to bitch and whine about the music they chose than it is to make one, but surely it's not too hard to TRY is it?

I think after watching enough vids, he should grow to understand just what an AMV is. Basically, you're standards will plummet.

Trust me...I know... :?

I have seen both of those on another site, and yes, they are good.

And I don't hate ALL music, it's just...........I don't really favor a particular kind. For instance, I hate Metallica, but I like Enter Sandman when used with Gaara (only the one Breeman did, though; the others are....no). I HATE HATE HATE HATE Evanescence, yet the Gaara's Terror one was good with Gaara (Gaara seems to save the songs... =/ ....). I don't like rap or hip hop, but this one Gaara vs. Lee thing with DMX (I think the song was "X Gonna Give It To Ya") was pretty good. The only Itachi AMV I've seen so far and liked is the one with the song "Immortal" by Adema (sp?). So you see, it's really just certain, random songs. For instance, I liked "What You Got" by Revielle (sp?), but I saw an AMV with one of their other songs and I said "This blows!". But I've seen an AMV with the "Liberi Fatali" from Final Fantasy. It had Gaara vs. Sasuke, and it was good, but Gaara was too much on the defensive; it shoulda shown him attacking more, because it made him look like a pushover.

Also, the only reason I watch AMVs is because they're the closest things I have to the episodes I missed (anything before episode 107). My dad won't let me do bittorent or anything like that and I only like direct download anyway. I was thinking of ordering the DVD, but I wanted to buy it when it was dubbed, and I don't want to have two versions of the same thing.

Now back to why I said I don't like most of them:

Okay, a major factor in this is synchronizing the music with the video. I've seen some that had potential. This one Sasuke vs. Naruto fight had "Stupify" by Disturbed, but it was so poorly synchronized that the whole thing was a flop.

So from what I've said, anyone know a view AMVs they think I might like? I'd prefer if they were Itachi, Gaara vs. Lee, or Gaara vs. Sasuke.

Oh, and I can't make them because I only just started learning how to use windows movie maker, and that kinda.............will take some time.

I started using premiere until I "downgraded" to WMM and it does not take long to use... it's pretty basic and simple.

2 perfect suggestions from a HUGE Rock Lee fan

Rock Lee: Rockamon Lee

Gaara: I'll run out this world, Darkness within my soul

One's by Michele Poogi, one's by me. Let me know what you think of them. These songs should be more addictive the ones you've heard before "at least Poogi's".

Oh, one more suggestion! This video is my favorite Naruto AMV on this site by far so I think you should watch it. The song is really addictive, made me download the album of the group too.

I was going to make the same suggestion: This was one of the reasons why I got into making AMVs

I agree with Rurounikeitaro x2 for all three of those videos.

That's all we need is more Naruto fans. :?

I think that a whole part of the AMV community is learning to push aside your preferences and to have an open mind. If people only download vids for the music they like they'd really get nowhere (like yourself at the moment). You should try the ones with bands you're not fond of, or even better ones you're not familiar with because I know that the majority of people here have found one or two new bands to love simply from AMVs.

Half of AMVs is music, and you have to be a music fan as well as an anime one to really get by around here. And I don't think that real appreciators of music so easily throw around their hatred for everything. :?

Besides, people around here make AMVs to suit their own tastes and preferences. Obviously they like the music that they're using and that's what matters. You don't like it? Just like mute it and play one of crappy favorite bands songs, you're looking for action vids so it's not like it's be that different. :roll: Or, as has been suggested, make your own damn AMV. No one's going to cater to you.

Amen to that! I have 4 new CDs that I LOVE just from checking out videos I didn't think were my "type". Also found a new series that I like...

Oh, and there are a couple of sites that you can DDL Naruto. Won't pimp them here, tho.
