Does it do Tom Lehrer's song justice? "The Vatican Rag" = Comedy Gold. If so then use it.

Our Lord Jesus wouldn't approve of that one bit.

To actually contribute to the thread, I'd like to see more videos deal with serious subjects like religeon, social happenings and politics ect.

I think it would be a nifty new thing in AMVs. Make a statement! Voice your opinion through your art. People have been doing it for a long time in every other media and its only a matter of time untill that carries over to AMVs :P

I'm actually working on a very very very religeous video currently. While I wouldn't call it Christian, it defintily deals with the story of Christ. I'd love to see more videos of its type.

I hope it will...if not, at least it was worth giving it a shot (...ever since getting 'That Was The Year That Was' it's been a semi-goal to see how many of these have vid potential, so far had plans with this, 'So Long Mom' and 'Smut'...on that note, my nonexistent hat if someone can figure out a way to do a good vid with 'National Brotherhood Week')

I agree completely.

But anyway...

Nearly half of the videos I've made use Christian artists.

My Let it Make Me Strong vid uses Steven Curtis Chapman (great artist, btw). The song isn't obviously Christian at first, but it comes out in a few lines. And the anime, Trigun, isn't exactly a religious show, but Wolfwood's cross and a church are shown. Rem is also seen wearing a cross. And while I couldn't exactly relate some of the lyrics perfectly to the show, Vash does have some Christian values that made the song work for the video.

One Day uses another Christian artist, FFH. Oh My Goddess isn't a Christian show, either, but I made the song work anyway.

Lifehouse is Christian, and we all know there's plenty of Hanging by a Moment videos out there. I used two of their songs for videos ("Hanging by a Moment" and "Spin").

The artist I used for my In My Arms Again video, Michael W. Smith, is also Christian. But the song itself talks about love between two people, although there's the line "and like a prayer you came to me".

Even my and my sister's comedy video uses a Christian artist, Relient K. The song isn't religious though.

Switchfoot is an awesome artist. There's a great Rurouni Kenshin vid done to This is your Life.

And I've seen the odd vid done to "I Can only Imagine" by MercyMe. There's actually quite a few, if you just look up some of the more popular Christian rock artists. Very few of them actually have religious meaning, though.

I had a plan to use footage I've filmed at various protests in tandem with Akira/Jin-Roh/GOTF to 'Anthem for the Year 2000', but it never materialized.

The problem is that most people aren't looking for a distinct message in their AMVs (like the subjects you mentioned), and any AMVs that seemed 'preachy' would probably get voted down by many...

I have plans to do a hellsing vid using one of disciple's songs who are in my words, the Metallica of christian music.
