I'm just curious what people here thought makes a good AMV.

One that, after you watch it, you come away saying "that was good" :)

Whew, there's such a huge range of things that can make a video work that it's impossible for me to imagine all of them. :shock: There's no one thing that's a guarantee, like, "Stick in a purple elephant and your video will definitely rock!" 'cause something that would make one video might break another.

So my answer is...... it depends. :?

For me... it's generally coherency and appropriate atmosphere. And a decent, consistent flow. That'll generally do it for me.

I agree, but there is one fundamental truth that must be observed by all AMV's.

it cannot be made by a person who's name begins with T and ends in R, or who used to be in the warez scene and spends his life on usenet acting like a loser.

in the case of zarxrax's vids.. you know its a good one if you see alot of cleavege and\or fanservice :o :o
...the problem I see a lot is that many good amv makers think they suck, and many bad amv makers think they're good.
I've seen it happen, man! I've SEEN IT!..

At least one part in the video that makes you think: "Hell that's artistic, how did he come up with that", and of course some sort of unique style.

UNIQUE is the word.
