if you go to the movies, see a 1-2 minute kickass freaking awesomely well-made amv to a new anime that's out, isn't that gonna make you want to watch it way more than a typical trailer?
imho i think anime companies would be smart to start implementing AMVs as a way to advertise commercially instead of just ignoring us and reaping the benefits. Not saying they should hire someone off the Org, but probably get the editor they do hire to be more a-m-v.org-ish :P

the music rights would be a non-issue if they get something done themselves like a piece of the soundtrack.

I heard that Hold Me Now sold out the dealer's room of Princess Tutu at the con it was entered to. I've seen similar effects at other cons as well.

I don't like 'dance' AMVs, I don't like dance animes. I prefer fighting or scifi. There is nothing in "Hold Me Now" at all for me.

However - I watch it often, have shown it to....everyone around me. And I plan on buying Princess Tutu as soon as I can.

Quality AMV - what can I say?

But isn't having a small branch of an anime company not the same as an entire company devoted to AMV's, unless the other companies contracted for it...*ponders on the idea* Would be nice to have big name companies contract out editors to make AMV''s that are trailers for the shows they want to promote...

Old Man, didn't ADV try to get the rights to Hold Me Now's music, but it's like Norwegian or something, and they failed?

I'd read that too... I don't know the full story behind it though.

On a similar note:
I know several members of this site were contracted by ADV to do cookies/amvs on the NOIR dvds.... Sukisyo and Green Green have official amvs on their dvds (however they are somewhat painful to watch cause they are pretty boring).

Music rights are a huge cluster, nevermind the issue of the sort of transformation and effects we like to apply to the video.

Then that guitar thingies popped up and went dun dun DUN dun then those box thingies went zooming by and twirling around and shit. Oh god, then the hexagons popped up and I was like 'I just got a stiffie'. Then there was the circle with those thingies going around and I blew my load.

It was relevant because they ignore us because we are basically free advertisements, hence the example of the video that sold out it's show in the dealer's room O.o

AMV Contests are seen as a block of free adverts for them.

i know, but we're talking about amv companies endorsing amvs, and possibly creating some of their own for advertisement in places other than cons and the internet, it's not about places that it's okay to do it at.

No one specified that "anime conventions" were off limits in this conversation, and I still don't think they are..
~~~~~~~~~

I can't remember the entire story and if someone can fill in the gaps - but I do recall a specific time when someone stole the footage from someone popular's amv and that Frankenstein was used as an advert in some country that was not the USA.
