In the AMV community.. it always seemed more about sharing your videos with other AMVers, or anime fans at cons.. but when I originally started.. I wanted to attract others to anime.
My main method was mainly to show off the art.. Use emotional provoking Images.. show some of the heart of anime. I use to hear people shit talk about the frame rate, the art and that one gay interpretation that it should only be for kids since it's animation and since that's one of animations main purpose.. is entertainment for kids(lol, I show some people some crazy animation with hentai.. love to see the reactions it's priceless).. I've had comments from people that don't watch anime like "That is f***ing bad ass!!".. if used right, AMVs can be a great promotion to anime....
.... though I know that's what a lot you don't want.. since one of the reasons for liking it is being the minority.. like some people drop liking certain bands because they started to get popular.. or sold out.. some just like to bitch about how stupid people are for liking this band.. liking reality TV.. I think a lot of people like that are biased trying to think your better than everyone else by being the minority.
Anyways... sorry for such a weird topic.. and all.. would like to hear what y'all think of amvs being used in a form of promotion.. please share, I'm quite interested.
