Anything that hasn't been / has rarely been used.

Seeing the Lucky Star / Haruhi dance, Kenshin killing Tomoe, Shinji being emo, Karas being badass, Naota growing stuff out of his head, Avent Children awesome "camera" movements, goddess-trio singing [...] scenes gets annoying and boring really fast.

On the other hand, if it's an anime I don't know at all, I usually enjoy the video alot more. Seeing scenes you don't know yet well used with music is much better :up:

you know I used to think that, but I've gotten such a bad response in my Rec based (Romantic) Metallica's Sad But True AMV saying the combo just doesn't fit when in all reality it DOES, ask anybody who's experienced a lasting relationship. That I think the bottom line is the general nerd (org) public tend to think with their brains a whole lot more than with their heart... and stuff. It's an artistic expression, it's not meant to be thought about.

Maybe if you'd actually edited the thing instead of just randomly placing scenes one after another with very little actual editing...:roll:

I agree with Todd. If you're creative enough, you can probably make anything work. However, you can't just put two initially conflicting sources together and call it originality - you have to actually make them work.

You know, I do think that the anime plays a large role in how much I enjoy the AMV, however, I have not seen all the anime for the AMVs I watch, there are plenty of series I have read about, but have never gotten around to watching, and I still enjoy the AMV.

Personally, the editing skill, pace, song selection etc have a much larger influence on me, and while I will refuse to download anymore Naruto AMVs, it does not mean that the ones I do download I don't enjoy.

In fact, I think that it's the reverse. I won't be more likely to download/enjoy an AMV if it uses an anime I enjoy, but I'd be more likely to NOT download an AMV if it was using an anime I don't really like. I know it's not a huge difference, but it's more in the sense that "i can remember better which anime I hate, rather than the huge list of anime I love"

PROBABLY. Just doesn't work for everybody (and with the editing... I know, I fail lol)

Agreed to an extend, however I find it very interesting how many editors can use the exact same scenes, yet give it an entirely different and unique feel. For example, I don't know how many Kanon AMVs I've seen use the same recycled footage yet they all manage to give it their own spin, and I enjoy comparing how each editor has handled the same situation differently.

Of course, there's always the exception (beyond the clouds etc) that just makes you go "dear god... not again"

dosnt that kinda defy the purpose of them being "eye candy?"

eye candy is something that is enjoyable to watch - which is why you download vids in the first place, amirite?
I'll give you an example. Rezz's "Shapeshifter" video. Sure his effects are really impressive, but it leaves you wondering why you waisted time watching it. Id rather watch a video that has emotional sync. Id rather see how creative an editor can be story/concept wise than how he/she can whore effects.
thats still not eye candy dude...
if you dont enjoy the video its not considered eye candy, therefore its a very loose term.

one can call a 5cm/s video eye candy because of superior emotional and mood sync, or someone could call shapeshifter eye candy because of the flashy effects.
eye candy can not be solely defined as one genere, its different for every individual, and may vary based on the video and how its made.

What's your point? Of course if you are creative enough, you could make anything work, and I did read through the thread before posting. However, how many people actually do manage to do that? And of those, how many are successful. I'm not saying it's impossible, I never did, but if you want to be speaking on just broad terms, then anything is possible and this whole discussion is invalid.

Also, my being a Kiwi has nothing to do with it :?
