My personal favorite...

And it would be a live oak, because it's only deciduous for about a week and provides a year of shade, but the leaves still need to be raked. And acorns. They produce boogobs of acorns.

I find myself making a lot of character profile videos because...well, I love characters :P When watching a show, a certain character that I get attached to can help me get through as many episodes as I have to just to see where they end up. Normally, I seem to see different traits about the characters than what is primarily shown in the majority of AMVs involving them/using the series.

Princess Tutu is a series that is known for it's beautiful dancing, dark themes and overall pretty-ful-ness. Very rarely are the characters and their true personalities examined.
The main character in Princess Tutu is Ahiru (Princess Tutu) who is a lovesick, klutzy little dreamer who lives in a world where everything seems normal to those who live in it, yet really has some interesting magical twists involved. But you'd never know that with the majority of AMVs just showing off her killer dance moves as the Princess :P

The AMV is far from perfect. I made it in a short period of time, the editing is sub-par and the video as a whole is plagued by countless mistakes...But damn it, I love that goofy little duck girl and I wanted her to be able to share the spotlight with her super duper ballerina counterpart!

As for the tree...I'd have to say a Peach Tree. It bears fruit that is sweet and soft, just like a little girl. While it's leaves are green it can look just as normal as any other tree, but when it blooms it can become quite a beautiful sight.


I'm going to go away and stop being so mushy and girly now :P

I will never come close to making something I like this much again.

Any tree; because they can all be made into paper. :ying:

My favorite is One, I suppose. Because it's made precisely how it was meant to be.

And if it were a tree... I think it'd be a pear tree. Slightly nostalgic, pretty unusual shape of its fruit and brings a bit of calmness into this hectic world...

My personal favorite video I've made isn't exactly an amv, but with a cartoon source (cmv?)


Video: A ninja's redemption
Category: Action, Drama, Character Profile
Anime: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
Song: Numb
Artist: Linkin Park

But if I had to choose an anime one, then it would be:



I'm kind of a sucker for dramatic character profiles. I'm surprised I haven't done more of them or drama in general.

I think my current favorite is actually .

If it was a tree I'd say I guess it'd be an Apple Tree. Cuz' it reminds me of my childhood before I was alergic to all things green and spent all day climbing the apple tree in front of my grandmother's house.

I like a lot of my videos, it's hard to pick just one. But if I haaaad to, I'd pick:




And if it were a tree, it would be a Dogwood. Why? Perhaps this screenshot from the video can help explain:

I've done more videos besides the ones I post here (see my Youtube page), but even among them, this one is my favorite.

It's re-tells the major arc from Cowboy Bebop, highlighting the narrative parallels the story tells between the characters that so many of them in show are reluctant to discuss or talk about. In other words, it focuses on the sad parts of Bebop in an original light. Mostly it focuses on Spike, Faye, Vicious, and Julia.

If it were a tree, it would be a Sequoiadendron Giganteum, due to the epic scope and nature of this video. Also, because it is a humongous tree almost the size of my ego.
