I love critisism and feedback. If people think something sucked, they should at least say why they think so. Not just watch 5 seconds, see Sasuke's face and stop the video, comment- complain lol. (got to say that I hate Sasuke.) I plan to make lots of AMVs with my spare time at college, because I enjoy watching the outcome. So being a highly critical person when watching other people's work, if I'm satisfied with my outcome, other people who know AMVs well should think positively, too.

That's a pretty arogant way of looking at it. -_- anyway, I plan on making loads. This first is the only Naruto based one. I didn't know it was so over done on this website and I'm suprised there's so little Bleach. (don't like Bleach.) But I thought it was popular. I wana dig down and use some great underated series like Salaryman Kintaro and Getbackers. (Y) for now, though Naruto is a great series, one of my favorites and my AMV will show that.

For an honest answer for once, all I can say is "make it good". Now that you have a general idea of what you want to make, do it in a way that's your own and unique. Make it stand out in the flood of Naruto videos out there.

Another sad truth of this community is that you won't be taken seriously unless you have a long and established reputation here. The more well known and established editors can get away with all the Naruto and DBZ videos they want because everyone already knows them and they know how to put out good work. They can literally shit out turds with their names on it and people will still flock to them. Sadly, that's the way it's always been. It seems like a catch 22 trying to get established when nobody's going to give you a chance when you're just starting.

You might want to start participating in the opinion exchange forum once your video is released and after a few months/years, start hitting up amv contests where your work can be seen on the big screen. There's no guarantee that people will love your work, but I can't think of any other better way to establish your reputation.

I made 45+ DBZ videos before making my first serious contest video. I used to be embarassed by that, but now I embrace it with no regrets.

lol Emotive makes it sound like some of us know what we're doing :) lol.

also. Don't admit to using illegal footage and crap we really don't need to know. Typically if it's something someone can troll on you about, it's better left unsaid. Many of us who care to give solid advice can see if it's illegal or not just by noting the quality, but the stupid trolls can't cuz most times their just in it for the lulz. Un-needed information, your just opening yourself up to criticism of the worst kind.
If you do not think so... you will DIE

I can see what you're saying and if I wanted to be renowned as a great AMV maker/editor to thousands of random people, that would be helpful. But my only true motive in making such videos is that I want to watch my favorite scenes/fights with a smooth, fuzzy feel. As we've sussed, the majority of all Naruto AMVs are similar and bad. People rely on the popularity of the show to make thier AMVs respected just because it has a Rasengan or Saukra crying in (which there's plenty of.) Jiraiya vs. Pain with some orchestrated music is what I've got my heart set on. Why? Because I want to watch a good J-man vs. Pain AMV, but there aren't any around and if there were, it would be bad, becauase most people don't care enough to make a good AMV. And what i have so far (about 40 seconds) has turned out really well. I want Nauro fans and other Anime fans to enjoy my AMV because hopefully they'll watch it and acknowledge the timing and choice of scenes which is all I'm really concentrated on for my first effort. The outcome of my Naruto AMV will be great in my oppinion- the oppinion of a person with high standards.

Naruto isn't dead yet. ^_-

I caught your first reply, don't worry. Pretty obvious why it was modded.

Making AMVs isn't exactly my way of getting head.

Really though, that's an 80% better attitude than most of the editors here.

Make sure to use emo rock and lots of Comic Sans. It'll really tell the world you mean business.

:mrgreen:

Seriously, I had the exact same mindset as you when I started working on that video. I knew that using Naruto might just draw negative viewpoints, but I made the video anyways, going out of my way to not use anything but Naruto. And though it might have gotten bashed for the sources, I still find people enjoying it.
I personally usually don't mind what sources a video uses, if it's good enough to watch- but that isn't how most people around here think. Naruto is probably as worn out as it can get, and like most of the overused anime on that list, unless you try something new it's likely to just be ignored. Don't get too discouraged though. I'll be watching out for that video :up:

A good Naruto video is better than a good anime mix video using some shitty techno/trance song. Fact.

Even though it seems you got it right by now, don't do it because they are wanted but because you want to do them. Screw the general opinion and reception of the AMV itself, just do it for the joy of watching a video you made and for the fun you had making it (I suppose you want to do it for that reason). If you manage to hold this attitude for a few years, then that will be good: getting to better yourself with practice and even going through some hardships for it is just right, but just doing it for attention, isn't good.

In my personal case, I have seen naruto vids and got pretty impressed by ones. I remember one with "Talk" song and by the time I watched it I was like "this is actually pretty well done" and reviewed it a few times. I don't watch naruto vids that often because I don't like the show itself. Problems with it may be that it's pretty well known show and as there are > AMV's there might be > bad AMV's, but I guess that's just all of it.
