amv ideas

[SadisticInsanity]

I was thinking of maybe making a Devil May Cry amv, but I don't know what song to use, or what scenes might fit that song. I was thinking it would have a lot of action and stuff... but I'm stuck.

Probably better than thinking 'Wow, this is a great anime! I want to make an AMV with it!' and just start editing, it's better to first think of the emotions you want to call forth in the viewer, what aspect of the anime you would like to emphasize, or if you even want to use the anime to tell a whole different story. Not to mention that with some kind of a concept in mind, it's much easier to look for the right song.
If you just say "Devil May Cry with lots of action", all anyone can tell you is that you'll probably need a fast song. And mostly anyone can make an action amv with a fast song and no idea whatsoever. Why make that?

Well, there's not necessarily anything wrong with "I like this song or anime and I want to make an AMV" with it. That's pretty much what I've always done.

But you're Ileia

Isn't everyone Ileia?

I thought I was Ileia for a while, but then I realised she's a way better editor, so it couldn't POSSIBLY be me.
