I actually have, and the reason she didn't want to distro on the org is because she didn't want anyone to "steal her clips".....

I did grab it >.> so I have it on my computer.
but I didn't re-upload it and take credit for it :P I'm too nice for that O:

This is the only true part I've seen in the entire thread. I motion this thread be locked since there can be nothing more of significance that can be added.

When I first started (about 2006), video quality was not stressed NEARLY as much as it is now. Xvid was the popular codec, and people were more interesting in what you actually edited, instead of the more technical aspects. I specifically remember the videos I really liked from this year. I was in love with the slow and well edited Loveless Video by Radical_Yue, and Dark Dance by Jaddziadax.
Last year (2007), the MP4 container got more and more widespread (even in the late late 2006 year), and now it's virtually the accepted container. I've seen people completely ignore videos based on quality alone, and here's where I started noticing the "effect-whore" videos get spat out. Like Spoil and Magic Pad, just to name a few. I think this is when videos started getting either really shallow or really concept-weak. Of course, there were obvious exceptions like Plunder Propogana and Daydream. But for the most part, I found myself less and less active in the AMV Announcements forum, because a lot of the things getting posted were the same stuff over and over again.
This year (so far) seems to be a continuation of last year. Effect heavy videos are still getting pumped out, and concepts are getting weaker. Though there is hope, IMO. Autraya's To the Hereafter and Infinity Squared's Human video did well to break the mundane concepts. Songbird21's Unbreakable and kiarren's Ouran Day are also breaking the mold, with well edited and solid videos going "back to basics" and matching a good concept with solid editing and great footage.
Who knows what this year is going to hold?
Infinity Squared wrote:To use this as an example, are more people prone to think that being able to create a high paced AMV similar to achieving some sort of new level in editing? Drawing from my experience, in the past 3-4 years, I've sort of thought that slowish videos aren't challenging enough and to create a much more tightly beat-synced video is the natural end goal to aim for.
