The truth is we're all exhibitionists at heart. We like creating things and doing that hundreds, possibly thousands of people will see. We are NOT big movie producers. But I think that a lot of AMVs show that there's more to a movie than special effects. Bottom line, we can do in three minutes what most movies can't do in two hours.
Also, I dont recall spending $1800 on an old imac. That's digusting and offensive.
Then why is it that most people like to use the scenes with the pretty special effects? and why is it that most people like "effects" videos over plain old cuts?
not trying to argue really even though I am doing a good job at it... but this part of your argument is kinda off kilter...
truthfully all we are doing is RIPPING OFF that big time movie that you say cant do what an AMV can do, and putting it to a different music, so I also think thats a little off... (atleast such is the case of a fanvideo, which AMV does fall under this same category)
IF WE ORIGINALLY CREATED OUR MEDIA THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT... But the truth is we are using someone elses work to our advantage just changing the effort a bit... and changing it to suit our own purposes...
I think SOME editorers give themselves too much credit, I know I have my moments, and I try my hardest to keep reserved. But, there is alot more effort put into a big time budget film than any AMV.. they, after all, have to start from scratch. We have premade video and premade songs to work with
