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.

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

PROBABLY. Just doesn't work for everybody (and with the editing... I know, I fail lol)CrackTheSky wrote:Maybe if you'd actually edited the thing instead of just randomly placing scenes one after another with very little actual editing...Knowname wrote: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.

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.
very much so, isn't it obvious??.orgstrudel wrote: YOU COMPARING NERDS LIKE MYSELF TO THE ORG??
(reason 1 I may NEVER show my face at awa... cuz I'd probly just get jumped ~_~ too many nerds in one place is never a good thing)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.JCD wrote: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

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

thats still not eye candy dude...sunwukong86 wrote: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.Ghet wrote:dosnt that kinda defy the purpose of them being "eye candy?"sunwukong86 wrote: Yeah, and I wont watch eye candy AMVs
eye candy is something that is enjoyable to watch - which is why you download vids in the first place, amirite?
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.Knowname wrote:says the kiwi, and why do we do it??Pas1990 wrote: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.
