Sadly, General AMV is about as intelligent as it gets sometimes. As far as this thread being a conduit for intelligent conversation, I suppose you're right if you consider a thousand people shouting "OMG _____ IS TEH BEST EVAR" to be intelligent. 'Definitive' AMV is totally subjective because this is an art that adds new styles every year. I could tell you that a shitty LPZ video is the 'definitive' AMV because that's what gets made most frequently. I could tell you that Kevin Caldwell's videos are 'definitive' because every worships them (not that he doesn't deserve worship). I could tell you that Beautiful Earth is definitive because it's an effective simple vid, or that Euphoria is definitive because it's a great effects video.LunaAislin wrote:Furthermore, this topic was an open discussion that I thought could potentially be a good resource. While I am using the other resources on the org, I felt people actually having an intelligent conversation about the topic might prove to be more valuable. If you are not interested in this topic, I welcome you to move to a different section of the forums where perhaps you will be less irritable.

<b>This hobby changes by the day. Nothing is set in stone, and no one video can be called 'definitive'.</b>
<u>However</u>, there are a number of videos (viz. Top 10%, Top Star Scale, etc) that everyone seems to agree are pretty kickass. And that's all you really need anyway.
