Ah, then a more accurate way to describe what you mean is an "overused theme" rather than an overused source.

When the same scenes are used many times in the same sense, to look at these scenes even in other sense all the same boringly. Theme cannot be "overused".

Your own examples that you gave were themes. I'm only basing it on what you yourself said.

You can understand as you want. It does not change an essence. Vid on overused sources will always have the underestimated estimation.

When the essence of the source material is about a particular theme, it makes sense that the majority of videos are going to follow that lead. If the source is about war, it's only logical that the editor is going to put his/her spin on that theme rather than making a romance or comedy out of it. This doesn't make the editor lazy in any way; the source was created to evoke feelings pertaining to the subject (war) so it's most likely to elicit a similar response.

I think you've got your expectations too high.

But the viewer has the right to be dissatisfied with that video does not contain anything new.
If the author wishes to be pleasant to the spectator, he should find not often used source or to change a source using effects / new application of scenes / alternative history.

Why would anyone edit to please someone to begin with?And yes, The viewer has the right to be dissatisfied with a video, But because it doesn't contain anything new? No.

Gaurry, originality doesn't necessarily mean "perfection".
It's just your preference, and that's just fine, but don't try to make others agree with what you might define as "better".
I've seen your video muse, and tbh I didn't like it all that much, it is original, but it's just not my cup of tea.
I've seen some RAW videos that are a lot better in comparison to some original work out there. They might not be original, but are well edit, and entertaining to watch.
AMV aren't judged on how original, or how many effects are thrown at it, but rather how well the editor has used the anime, and song together and created something that is entertaining to watch.

[SeNniN]

If you use "overused" source, it is necessary to do very original video

What an obstructive mentality towards amvs .

Anyway I liked the mood throughout this editing was cool too, the instrumental fit really well. Nice combo.
4/5

Thanks for watching, EvanFan, glad you liked it.
