To be helpful... (Veterans need not apply...)

I just wanted to thank Braveliver for the op, and I've returned the favor. We definitely have different editing styles. ^_~

And WhereNext, if you're not a veteran I don't know who is. You have some awesome amv making skills. 8)

Ok, I'm glad to get this ball rolling... ^_^

If any of you want to return my hospitality [again, it's optional, but hey you JUST MIGHT learn something]

I suggest opping these vids

for simplicity:

the fx are only 2...

for psychos:

don't ask...

Thank God people are listening... ^_^ I guess I'll also review some of you "big name" editors too...

You know, you learn by both giving and recieving ops, I shit you not...

or, if the genre squicks you, my overdone-song action vid:

[And I'd offer to do the rm's for you, but I'm thinking you wanted older members, right?]

Anyone can do it dude [damn it and my clumsy wording], just tell me what you think you learned... I just can't play them so if you know what to do, then please do it, if you don't, uh, download the vid anyway. You might learn something ^_^

this can be done using ANY prog since it's totally linear...

I think you learn a lot from looking at a wide range of editing styles and skills, so I'll certainly op your video in return.

Of course, I'll exchange ops with anyone on here who wants to. I enjoy seeing different things. ^_~

Well, I know I am always learning from watching other peoples AMVs, its always an ongoing process of learning new things.

I think this vid is a good example of a godd video(i hope so anyway) that only utilizes edits, no effects, just timing and edits.

Nice example, WhereNext. I think that's a good video choice (and a good video, so don't worry) - effects are highly overrated, and not at all necessary to have a good amv. ^_^

Effects aren't overrated, non fx videos are underrated...

:p

Just did a bunch of the vids posted, I must say, I think I'm wrong now. There are LOTS of smart noobs showin' up. [thank you makers of the guides!]

I guess the people complaining should just use the text they type for complaining and use it for righting ops instead! heh heh...

Hey, look, I'M DOING IT!!! ^_^

Well since you are in the mood I will give you one or two. Try Sour Blood Girl or Ghost of your Host. If you do take Sour Blood Girl try for the indirect (as I uploaded the wrong one to the carrot with fucked up sound ) the indirect one doesn't have the glitch

Um, if you hadn't noticed, these people left links. I, like the other 99% of the people here on the org, think it's pointless to hunt for the vids you mentioned... :p

Sooo... please post a link to either vid [or both] but I'm only going to op one of them. [preferably the newer one... tell me which is ur latest and the other "teachers" here can grab it as well]

Since my "mini amv school" suggestion isn't implemented yet, I guess we're stuck writing opinions. [mini school - quick comments from past-time editors that aren't too lengthy so they don't take up too much time. also, q & a sessions... things you don't easily get with the written opinion.]
