Hey, I had this really great, long, inspirational post all set up for you, and you know what? I tried to submit it and my computer went out to lunch. *shakes her fist at the computer* Well, let's try again, okay?
Don't listen to hype and don't let anyone tell you that your video will suck just because the song seems overdone. In fact, I just posted the following in a different forum thread: "I think the problem with AMVs is that the quality of each one is subject to opinion. Some people say that overusing a particular song or certain clips from one anime is what makes bad AMVs. This is not true. I have found several amazing videos that were put to a song done 467 other times (that number being an exaction, not an estimate.) On the other hand, I have also seen a video put to a song that has never been done before on this website. It was awful."
Amusingly enough, the '467' song I was talking about was "Bring Me to Life."
With that said, let me just tell you that I think you should make the video, and THEN let it be judged, not the other way around. It just isn't fair. That's like passing a 'guilty' verdict over a court case that's only half over. Go for what makes you happy. Remember, it is everyone ELSE's choice to download your video - you're not forcing them. If they are too narrow-minded to watch a video to an oft-used song, then that is their problem, not yours. You don't need their opinion, anyway.
Hey, I've seen your work before, and it is GREAT. I have the utmost confidence that you will do justice for that song.
*hating her computer for eating her post*
