Enough with the slapping it hurts after awhile.
(Sheesh it was just an idea! It's not like I already made the damn thing!)

It's tough love, kid.

But the idea does have merit, if it's handled properly. I'll have to check some of these links and see if the videos are any good.

Fraid I saw this one, and it wasn't all that good. BUT.... If you think you can do a better job, by all means do it. ( just please dont apply the random action scenes=video principle)

Oh yeah, like we REALLY need ANOTHER DBZ video. At this point, nobody should care if a video is good or not. In fact I don't think anyone does. Why? DBZ is the AVERAGE video. More people make DBZ videos than the people who don't!

PLEASE, MAKE SOMETHING WITH LOVE HINA OR something. There's no way they can be called overused when compared to the shyte that is DBZ...

You asked for it...

SLAP SLAP, [upward] SLAP, [downward] SLAP SLAP SLAP, [left-right combo] SLAP SLAP triple-SLAP SLAP SLAP...

AND THE WINDUP [drumroll] HOMERUN SSLLAAAAAAAP!!!

It's to do with the problem of matching a metaphorical lyric with a concrete image. Bursting into flames is supposed to be metaphorical but by putting footage of DBZ characters going all SS completely ruins the metaphor.

As for the other lyrics, they're not actually that bad - although Incubus have been used a lot (I should know I've used them too). I just think that having an idea for a video based on that one lyric is a bad thing because inevitably it's quite cheesy. It just doesn't sit right.

Forced lyrical matches are difficult things to deal with at the best of times - making a whole video around a forced lyrical match is a recipie for disaster.

I agree wth you completely. That's basically the same as if you took The Wall and actualy showed people building a wall everytime the chorus line came up. Also I just disagree with doing an AMV simply because ONE line interests you, often this leads to disaster as you realize the entire song does not fit your concept. But you know, after reading the lyrics to the song, it would actually work very well for X, you could take it either literally or metaphorically (preferably the later of the two) but it would work. Now if only I owned X...
