AMV Eras

There's only some slight changes I'd make to Vlad's list:

Massive Multi-Editor Projects
2001 - Various - DDR Projects

Digital Effects to enhance the videos meaning
2003 - Koop - Euphoria

Digital Effects where the effects are the only meaning
2005 - Decoy - Naruto's Technique Beat

MEPs are a clear trend over the last few years and the DDR projects were one of the first really huge ones, although the start of the MEP forum probably has more to do with their current popularity than DDR does. As for effects I think the artistic differences between how Koop uses effects and how Decoy does justifies separating them (note, I'm not starting an argument about which is better, just saying they're different trends).

Someone please detail for this noob the history of Awesomecore videos. Is Awesomecore a recent trend? or have there been examples of awesomecore since the beginning?

I know why people hate comedy.

Because perhaps here, as in Shakespeare's plays, the fool is the smartest one of all.

The best AMV never seen, and for me remains one of the best in the current era!

So, DW, are you suggesting I'm immortal

Also godix, yea I agree about the MEP thing, I just don't have it as an example in the panel due to the lengths and time limitations, but It's worth a mention...
