Of Favourites And Conifers

Postby Fall_Child42 » Thu Oct 13, 2011 8:42 pm

So you've made some AMVs?

Pick your personal favourite AMV you have made.

Now Tell us what that AMV is.

And Finally the question.

If that AMV was a tree, what kind of tree would it be, and why?

MY current favourite AMV I made is


If that AMV were a tree I think it would be a Coconut Tree.
It's pretty simple, not alot of branches. Yet can grow in some pretty whimsical directions.
Also, coconuts can cause massive damage to automobiles, similar to what happens in the video.

Also Coconut Cream Pie.

My favourite that I've made is She Was, and if it was a tree it'd be a Joshua Tree. It can barely be considered a tree in the first place, but it looks a lot like a tree - and the AMV is also barely an AMV because the music is on the edge of what might be considered music, although it still sounds a bit like that. Also it grows in very sparse, deserted landscapes, and the video is all sparse and minimalistic.

The tree was also named by Mormons and is usually full of moths, but I don't think that has anything to do with my video.

I don't get this thread at all. I made this AMV:

My favorite tree is a Christmas Tree.

---

Christmas Time.

Christmas Time.

Do all of your shopping at Wal-mert.

---

Both the tree and the song used in that video are great on their own, but for some reason I decided to add a bunch of shit to it. I guess it's shinier now, and a few people like it so, I guess that means I made it better.

Mission accomplished.

AMVs.

What kind of tree is it? Douglas Fir, of course!

My favorite of my AMVs presently: Dark Interlude
Its Tree: The Rainbow Eucalyptus, both are colorful & surreal.
I saw one outside the periodical library at UH Manoa. Very memorable, and the library was fun too.

My favorite video of my own would have to be "daydream". At least until I get "reverie" done.



My favorite conifer would definitely have to be the arborvitae. They make awesome bonsai trees. Close runners up would be juniper procumbens "nana," another great bonsai species, and the good o'l white pine, the needles of which you can make really awesome "survival tea" out of. Just make sure you're not pregnant, for some reason pine needle tea causes miscarriages. Also make sure it's white pine and not hemlock or yew. Those will kill you D:

My personal favorite...

And it would be a live oak, because it's only deciduous for about a week and provides a year of shade, but the leaves still need to be raked. And acorns. They produce boogobs of acorns.

I find myself making a lot of character profile videos because...well, I love characters :P When watching a show, a certain character that I get attached to can help me get through as many episodes as I have to just to see where they end up. Normally, I seem to see different traits about the characters than what is primarily shown in the majority of AMVs involving them/using the series.

Princess Tutu is a series that is known for it's beautiful dancing, dark themes and overall pretty-ful-ness. Very rarely are the characters and their true personalities examined.
The main character in Princess Tutu is Ahiru (Princess Tutu) who is a lovesick, klutzy little dreamer who lives in a world where everything seems normal to those who live in it, yet really has some interesting magical twists involved. But you'd never know that with the majority of AMVs just showing off her killer dance moves as the Princess :P

The AMV is far from perfect. I made it in a short period of time, the editing is sub-par and the video as a whole is plagued by countless mistakes...But damn it, I love that goofy little duck girl and I wanted her to be able to share the spotlight with her super duper ballerina counterpart!

As for the tree...I'd have to say a Peach Tree. It bears fruit that is sweet and soft, just like a little girl. While it's leaves are green it can look just as normal as any other tree, but when it blooms it can become quite a beautiful sight.


I'm going to go away and stop being so mushy and girly now :P

I will never come close to making something I like this much again.

Any tree; because they can all be made into paper. :ying:

My favorite is One, I suppose. Because it's made precisely how it was meant to be.

And if it were a tree... I think it'd be a pear tree. Slightly nostalgic, pretty unusual shape of its fruit and brings a bit of calmness into this hectic world...

My personal favorite video I've made isn't exactly an amv, but with a cartoon source (cmv?)


Video: A ninja's redemption
Category: Action, Drama, Character Profile
Anime: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
Song: Numb
Artist: Linkin Park

But if I had to choose an anime one, then it would be:



I'm kind of a sucker for dramatic character profiles. I'm surprised I haven't done more of them or drama in general.
