[Why you like AnimeMusicVideos?]

Postby [Mike of the Desert] » Tue Oct 25, 2005 2:15 pm

First of all, don't get your mind closed thinking "Oh man this is a so stuupiid question", because after all, this is not so stupid. ;) I would like to hear serious comments from you, true thoughts. What you exactly like of AnimeMusicVideos? What made you enter into this world, and why you're still into it? These are question I would like to propose to everyone of you, especially because I'm curious to hear your responses. Do you like these creations because they give emotions to you? Do you like them simply because they are entertaining? There are really many things to say and especially, intelligent things to say. I would really like both viewers and creators to answer to this :P, probably there could be different ways to see this topic. =) Superficially this can be a stupid question but.. Think more deeply, is not that easy to answer. :)

This is what I love msot about AMV's

I love watching the video tell stories or bits about the series or a character. Or just telling something funny, serious, or dramatic in a way no quite thought of. I first got into AMV's while roaming and stumbling upon a DBZ amv. I can't quite remember what it was like. After watching umpteen amount of AMV's I wanted to create my own. So will some free video editing software I made my first AMV. A DBZ one to smooth criminal by Alien Ant Farm.

Because "real" music videos suck.

Really you think so? You mean the Official Music Videos of the Songs or the Live Action Music Videos? I never done one but I would surely like try one day, my only complication is the footage for now.

Go watch the videos to Kylie Minogue's "Come Into My World" and "Love At First Sight" and try saying that with a straight face.

Never seen those, but I was generalizing anyway. Sure there are some good music videos, I just think the vast majority of them are not entertaining.

I was first drawn to AMVs because they were entertaining. I remain drawn to them because of the challenge, and the desire to see what more can be done to progress the art form.

Really interesting, that is a really good point! Challenge, eh, I like it, since I think that's also part of my thought.

Hmm...

I can say with absolute certainty how I first saw a music video, and, for that matter, what that video was. Back in the days of no-pay Napster, I used to download Final Fantasy music (now I own the soundtracks. ^_~ ) I don't know what possessed me to do it, but one day I clicked "video" instead of "audio" for my file criteria. I have to admit, I was a bit confused when I saw "Final Fantasy IX - 'In the End'" as a downloadable file. So, I got it. And I was like...

WOW.

That was awesome. At some point, I learned that the author of this video was some "AtomX" guy. As I downloaded more of these music videos, I found his name on a couple of other works as well. To me, the n00b, these were equally kickass. I wanted more.

Of course, it would still be quite some time before I started making them myself.

On some random day a few years back, my sister was playing around with FF clips in this program called "Windows Movie Maker." I hadn't even realized that this was on our computer. She was putting the clips to music, and I became interested, recognizing this as what I had been so fondly downloading all this time. I asked her how to use it, and she tried to explain, but very little of it made sense to me. Finally, I opened up one of her projects when she wasn't around and messed with it - taking care not to save, of course. I got the basic gist of what the program could do, and played around in a new project file of my own - a blank slate, as it were. My very first idea never came to fruition, although I do still think it has potential. Unhappy with the direction of that project, my brother introduced me to a new song. I had some kind of !OMGWTFBBQLOL! moment, and I began editing. I had the project (a six minute song, by the way) done inside of a week, just in time for Christmas. My second video was done not more than a few days later. And so on with the third.

It wasn't until after my fifth video that I discovered the .org. When I did, it was like some kind of heavensend. I was finally able to put names to the creators of many of the videos I had, and a persona to the ones that I already had names for.

And so, I've been hooked ever since.

But I still haven't donated. :oops:

Knowing Kylie Minogue's music, those could only be good muted. :o

Brings together two of my favorite things Music and Anime... plus it has taught me alot about analyzing how to make an effect ON PEOPLE and what I can use to get that effect...

I like effecting people.... I've always wanted to entertain, but since the Film Industry is a pain to get into, and AMV is so easy to get into :P I kinda started here :) I might one day move on to bigger things, but I am doing well here :)

Oh man this can't be!!! :D :lol: Oh my god, this is incredible, incredible I say! The same happened to me, not in this way, I was simply going around the web and I found this Final Fantasy IX - In the End by this Atomx guy who before I didn't knew, like you I generally didn't knew even the existence of those things called "AnimeMusicVideos", oh man this is really a coincidence. ;P It is been also for me the beginning to this world, and really the first amv I saw ever, and yes I was incredibly Amazed too. (and still I am! It is a really good video :o) :P And generally, wow, your story seems so, so much to mine.. Really incredible. ^^ I'm amazed really. :P

This thread is becoming interesting, I'm really happy to can hear your comments about this topic, it is really something I think deserve time to think about.

Watching: introduces me to music and anime that I otherwise wouldn't think to get into.

Making: editing and effects practice I guess, sometimes the challenge makes it tough to continue on but support from friends never hurts.

I like watching AMVs because I love seeing the endless combinations people create of anime and music. Every AMV looks at a certain anime (or animes) from a certain angle dictated by the song and the maker's POV and thus sheds a different light on the series and lets me notice new dimensions or new notions in the show that I haven't noticed before. Also, I like character profile AMVs the most because they add depth to characters and uncover the qualities in the characters that weren't stressed enough in the show.

I like making AMVs because it feels good when you are done with making one. :wink: Ahh, the joys of exporting a project..
