I recently uploaded my first three AMVs I've made. I'm new to the site, so... yello. xD
I'd greatly appreciate any comments or constructive criticism you have to offer!
I'm new on the AMV scene, and have only crude programs to work with... such as MovieMaker... but hopefully I'll get better, eh?
My First Three!

- Offsite links are allowed, but you are required to have a catalog entry for that video as well. Threads announcing videos that do not contain a catalog entry will be moved to the Awaiting Catalog Entry sub-forum and will be deleted in 2 weeks if an entry is not created.
- When posting announcements, it is recommended that you include links to the catalog entries (using the video ID) in your post.

First and foremost - clean up your footage. A lot of people wouldn't bother to watch more than a tiny bit of any of these AMVs because of the poor video quality and aspect ratio problems. You might be able to get away with it on UToob, but not here.
You've got the ability to synch, to get a little artsy, to capture the mood of a scene and to tell a story, all of which a lot of people struggle with. Work on doing more with all of them, particularly the synch. As a starting point, if the music changes then your scene should change - don't let them drag on and on and on. Doing just that one thing would have brought all of these videos up a level.
Also, the basic program you're using shouldn't get in the way of any of these things; WMM is perfectly capable of turning out a nice looking, nicely edited AMV.
