Code of Honor for AMV maker

Postby AikiNick » Wed Dec 09, 2009 2:43 pm

I think every AMV maker has some kind of Code of Honor. Some follow it, but subconsciously. Other think about it, but never write it down. The rest probably think about his/her code of honor and write it down, though I have never seen one. So, one rainy day I set down and wrote my own code of honor, which I do try to follow. Here it is:

Always make AMVs for art or enjoyment;
Never steal another's AMVs or ideas;
Be thankful;
Never be aggressive/hostile;
Always be objective;
Always be polite;
Answer every single question you are given;
Be opened for criticism and advices;
Never be conceited, selfish and megalomaniac;
Help everyone with anything you can, never refuse anyone to help;
Never envy another's skills and creativity(I mean bad kind of envy);
Never get angry for unfair criticism;
Rely on your skills, not on your software;
And most important - enjoy making AMVs.

So I want to know what do you think about it. Was writing it good or bad idea? Do you believe in such a concept as "code of honor for AMV makers" at all? Do you follow some kind of code? If you do, how is yours different? What would you change or add here? With what you agree and with what you disagree?

Note, that I do not want to intrude my believes upon you, I just want to know your opinion.

I would be very happy if you'd reply. Thanks for attention, bye.

I can count the number of people who follow these ones on one hand.

So much so I thought the list was ironic at first.

I take it you don't work with annoying, undisciplined children much, do you?

I pretty much agree with your code except for a few minor things that I've crossed out below:

Always make AMVs for art or enjoyment;
Never steal another's AMVs or ideas;
Be thankful;
Never be aggressive/hostile;
Always be objective;
Always be polite;
Answer every single question you are given;
Be opened for criticism and advices;
Never be conceited, selfish and megalomaniac;
Help everyone with anything you can, never refuse anyone to help;
Never envy another's skills and creativity(I mean bad kind of envy);
Never get angry for unfair criticism;

And most important - enjoy making AMVs.

Everyone? Never refuse? Seems too much pressure to me. After all, I'm only here for a hobby and if the usual mantra is to be repeated, I'm doing it for myself. No one else's development is my responsibility, only my own. It should be turned around instead as, "be respectful when asking for help".

In fact more than a code of honor for AMV maker it looks most of the points make it look more like a code of honor for AMV user or forum user; while it could work anyway, I agree on Vivaldi on the fact that you could count them with less than a hand (if any) :shock:

Do AMVers have a 'code of honor'? I guess it'd start with 'always use footage taken off of purchased media'... ... ... and pretty much end there >.< and some of us don't use legal material cuz it's legal, but just because it's the easiest way to get high quality stuff.

I don't have a code of honor for commenting on the org, but in terms of making AMVs, my rules and guidelines are:


1) If I get an idea for an AMV, I will only go ahead and make it if it hasn't already been done. For this reason and many more, I may never make another Naruto or Linkin Park AMV.

2) I try to make AMVs that don't use anime and songs that have been overused. For this reason and many more, I may never make another Naruto or Linkin Park AMV.

3) I will never use the same song for more than one of my AMVs, and I try not to use the same anime or music group more than twice. For this reason and many more, I may never make another Naruto or Linkin Park AMV.
