the ending my ass, food comes in and it ends with my ass, so the ending isn't the true answer lol!

um the begining is always great, the satisfaction down the middle, and it just has to be good with a good kick in it, like hot food with wasabey lol.

definitely not the ending, i've seen one to many good amvs and have forgotten the ending lol, i think the synchronization of everything has to be good with the video footage and the music, and that alone makes an amv good

More broadly... I like mood sync quite a bit, that's probably my favorite aspect of AMVing. That's not to say it's something I like exclusively and in isolation, but when it's well-done, I like it quite a bit.

Now, firstly, unlike beat/effect sync, noone can really define for sure what 'mood sync' is, and that's one fascinating thing about it. That's because it's pretty much 99% context, and catching that context right is no easy task. It's easy to get a bass drum to match up to a random (or, ok, even a specific) explosion, but it's quite a bit trickier to catch the 'mood' of a music piece and translate it into a meaningful visual context. There's no set formula for how to do that, and there's a lot of experimentation to be done in mood sync - a lot of new ground which hasn't been covered.

As much as mood sync itself, I love mood contrasts being pulled off well in a video.

But of course, no self-respecting video editor should go with just that alone, and obviously a video is more than just one aspect of it. Still, there's an aspect I really like for ya

yea mood catching videos are the best, but onyl a handful are really good becasue they catch the "mood" and the rest try & fail... like all my videos have hehe =/
