Where is Kevin? Well this is what I've heard anyway...
Shortly after finishing "Beleive", he developed a severe eating disorder (he got big) and decided never to show his face in the crowd again. He moved to Australia under the name of Big Kev. Quickly missing being in the spotlight, and started selling cleaning products. Now he's a very successful buisnessman who never referrs back to the days of AMVing. Well in the words of Big Kev...

What are you talking about MJ! He's still in his youth!

But anyways I liked kevin's videos, and still show engel and believe to people new to AMV's occcasionally, because they may not be the perfect videos, but they are good all around.

It seems to me that Kevin is overrated by some but does get the respect he deserves by others.

Someone is overestimating Kevin when he says something like "OOOOOO MY GAWD Kevin is an AMV GOD!!!111 He roxxorz more than ANY maker EVAR!! I have a SHRINE TO KEVIN in my bedroom closet cuz he is SOOOO 1337!!!!11"

On the other hand, many people I've talked to have this opinion of Kevin, and they seem to give him the correct amount of respect he should get: "Kevin is a very talented editor. He was very talented in developing a concept and sticking to that concept. His editing skills seem advanced for someone who is seemingly new to the AMV scene. He seems to have one of the best senses of timing of the AMV editors that I know."

It all depends on who you talk to. But ONE fact remains: Kevin Caldwell is a talented editor who EVERYONE thinks is at LEAST a good editor, if not superb.

Ok, if some overate him, and some underate him, I want to know where I stand, and where you do.
Because I'll be honest, I think he is the best this community has ever had to offer. Some may simply scoff at this notion and I CHALLENGE you to prove me wrong. If one of you is hiding a creator in a cage in your room more talented, expose them to us all, so I can no better. But untill then, let's look at the stats, who has higher stats them him consistently on all of the ratings on this page: no one! Even if you would reject those kinds of stats, you might look at his bating average at cons (previously explained in this thread), it's almost unbeatable. And don't pull anyof this "Stats and numbers mean nothing to me because I am an Arteest!" BS, we're talking about entertaining content (in the general comunity sense), something that we all share at least basic notions of.
So who is it that is honestly better, and why?

I'd probably say the biggest loss of his disappearance is that a lot of people (as this thread has shown) haven't seen any of his videos. I haven't even seen all of them, I think I've only seen Engel and the Phantom of the Opera vid, but they are extremely good. I'd love to see the others (especially 'Believe', being the Battle Athletess fan that I am), but I've not been able to find copies of them yet. While he may not be/have been an AMV God, I'd say at least the two that I have seen are very good examples of how videos can be done right. I think it's a definite loss that his vids and Bobby 'C-ko' Beaver's aren't readily available for aspiring creators and fans to watch and be inspired by.

I have copies of all of KC's videos. If a person is willing to provide a site and publicly host them, I will upload them.

Unfortunately, I don't have hosting- and I think whoever does host them will get their bandwidth pegged, at least initially. I think sending a disc of the vids in to Red Wolf's Distribution Center might be a better way to go, or at least a way that would reach a fair amount of people

I'll host them, but you have to get them to me somehow so I can upload them to my SSH account on my host. Doesn't matter how you get them to me, whether it be by AIM, MSN, ICQ, IRC, etc.
