Essential videos

[Shui]

You might wanna look at ADs Genesis of the digital anime music video scene and Dana Springalls AMV Thesis.

Also here is the playlist for my History & Evolution of AMVs panel. Not all are influental as I also chose some just to showcase what some typical things were in AMVs at the time. Also Ignore the slides, I didn't sort out anything as I promised some people I'd upload it after the panel.

Koopiskeva -- Euphoria (2003)
Not the first video by this editor, not the last, and some people might even say it's not even his best, but it might just be his most notable and it's definitely one of those videos that's brought up every time people discuss what the best AMVs of all time might be (here's a hint, √Bestamvsofalltime doesn't know shit). The early 2000's was probably the golden period for the hobby, at least in terms of the booming popularity of AMVs, the general excitement around them, and the innovation that was happening in them at the time, and that's all captured in this video like no other. This video is currently #1 on our sorrowfully neglected all-time top AMVs chart.

Why I'm I mentioned? I don't care what videos you think are essential. Direct any further wankery to my secretary, thanks!

Aside from the typical answers, I came up on videos by V37, MajinSteve, Bote, UnlimitedRice, Dannypoo, ProdigyX, AngryManAnime, and an arsenal of other editors most people probably don't know. KingDavid was also a big influence on me. So videos by those editors are more my idea of amv history than the top 10% list lol
