Who's your favorite editor?

Bakadeshi · Post by **Bakadeshi** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 1:30 am

wow thanks for the love ;p

lets see, I don;t realy like to say I have favorite editors per say, but I can list editors that I will automatically download from right away if I see them release something, So I'll list my top editors in that regards as per category:

When I want Romance: Dwchang always delivers, ... well almost always ;p Then theres Vlad, and MeriC sometimes, and Koop usually does good stuff here aswell. SnhKnives impressed me with his Ai Yori one, so I'll look out for more from him there too, though its hard to judge on only 1 romance video.

When I want Action or adrenaline: Sierra Lorna's one of my faovorites here, then theres Zarxrax when I want realy good effects goodness, aswell as JCD as of late, Oh, Ocasionally Nostromo does something I like, I love his style of action editing, though often he doesn't quite share my taste in music. Kwasek just put himself on the list with his latest entry to Pro, loved that ROD vid. Recently been liking Tylers stuff also. But my all time favorite editor for just pure action synch and flow has got to be Fluxmeister.

For Drama and artistic sense: Silvermoon, Otohiko, and Koop.

For Sentimental: Probably Vlad. sometimes koop here also. I think ive liked every single sentimental video Vlad has put out though. something I can't say for sure about anyone else. And my favorite sentimental video period is made by him (Memories dance)

I guess it all boils down to pretty much all the good editors that share my taste in music and anime is on my favorite editors list ;p

Since it appears that some mod just deleted my post I guess I have to try a 2nd time (this time with a bit explaination.

- Pokich
Normally my taste depends a lot on the use of the music but his videos are done so great using subversiv methods of sync and non-visual effects that I ignore the fact he uses Rammstein and such bands. I really like the strong and thick atmosphere his videos create. I guess I just like him cause his editing style is absolutely unique.

- Rubyeye
He got me into AMVs with his great artworks. First of all I dld my first video on Kazaa by mistake cause I wanted to see a Queensyrche musicvideo, and I got Digital D which shows that the fact he uses Power / Prog is on of the factors that draged me into the scene and it's one think that I like about his videos. Another thing is the perfect flow he sometimes leaves out a beat just to show a complete motion part in a scene to create flow and not to interrupt it with a flash for the drum and such, he is the king of the flow.

- SSJVegita0609
I'm currently watching his ColonyProject on my 2nd screen thus I can say his videos are very reviewable cause they never get boring since they are really pumping adrenalin. The stong sides of him I think are the perfects mixture between action and editing synchage and the nice sourcecombos (In Flames ;P).

- Requiett
His videos convince by visual effects and the use of awsome sourcecombos. Most of his works have a soundtrack I'd normally never listen to like Infected Mushroom or BT, but because of his videos I now really like the songs since he always manages to create a great video with it like a perfect fusion between sound and images. Sometimes I don't even like the effects but they are also the mainreason for me watching his videos since the often inspired me to think of some original effects my self (which I never use)

- Sierra Lorna
Heartwarming and well edited. Thats the short version of things I guess. Her AMV are really beautiful and always touched me with their dramatic and romantic mood.

- Dethmajor
Bloody action, sometimes thats the kind of video I need and the I just watch something by dethmajor productions. His videos are fast, full of gory action and never get boring. Too bad he has has more or less retired since he was also a factor I started amvs myself.

- Bote
the King of editing sync and variety since he never made two videos the same way he normally re-invents himself with a new video without copying himself over and over again. And he always uses standart effects in a way the seem to be new and just fitting.

I guess thats about it. /Waits for post to be deleted again without knowing why.

My favourite editors...meh, my favourite video is the wasteland by Otohiko so i guess that would haveto make him my favourite editor.

I quite like some of Jacob's stuff, who couldn't like all the greats from Koop to trythil and beyond?

There's a lot of good stuff out there, but no decent Pink Floyd videos :'¬ [

Am I really the first to say MeriC? Sheesh people. Seriously, her videos are very, very good, and they seem to have a certain charm about them that keeps me watching. Consistency, I suppose.

I have a lot of other random favorites from AMV creators, favorites where I've downloaded nearly all their stuff and liked one video out of all of them, so, I guess they wouldn't be considered my favorite creators. So yeah.

Meri
I've been a fan of hers since about 2000...

Steakslim
Great editor...

Chaos Projects
What can i say? the mans got great vid ideas!

Dave Peterson
Because i screwed his childhood hero

Aluminum and Doki
i put them together because i've loved their vids since about 98 99...

Mj....
Just because hes a twisted bastard...

Koop
well, i like him as a person... not his editing.

and i have to be a bastard
T-&-A Music Videos
Yes, you may not know who that is now, but their in CBR... Field Tirp, and a few other vids equally great.. they've been a relativly less popular creator, but for editing for 5+ years, their accually good...

Well, if favourite equals nabbing someone's vids as soon as they appear, then I guess Arigatoumyna, Silver_moon, Sierra_Lorna and Kusoyaro take the cake.

Bakadeshi · Post by **Bakadeshi** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 1:08 am

oh yea, for MADs, I should add Pianos(mostly for Secret waltz) and Shine (mostly for recollection)

Vicbond is also one that I generally usually like stuff from, including his one attempt at a MAD.

I love you too guys. XD

Oh well, what's my favourite editor? It's really a harsh question, the first replies this trhead got were talking about "My favourite editor is me", it's not completely wrong, I found this answer quite interesting but generally extremely right. It's also impossible to name a single favourite editor, so..

Well, the Premonitions Studios starring Sierra Lorna and Silver Moon are always been one of my favourite amv creators, and surely my favourite female editors. Decoy is also became one of my favourites, and surely I would like to mention Rurounikeitaro and sasuke2468, that is one of the best WMM editors I've seen. But generally, there are many editors that I like, every one of them made a video that said something special to me, it's hard to judge a favourite editor from the mass and I think this would end into a really too long list instead of what the thread's title says. Kevin Caldwell really made immortal Music Videos, this is sure, and I also really like a lot the editing style, the ideas and the skills of Scintilla.

For me it's not just the videos but the person behind the videos...For just videos, my favorite would be Kusayuro. The range of videos and the quantity (along with the quality) is just amazing that the 'newer' creators can't catch up to.

Sorry but so many 'new' creators have 1 or 2 really good videos and that's it. I like creators who have a large body of work that is good. That they have been around for a long time, and it isn't just a fad/hobby while they are in college. They aren't making videos to win, but make videos because they enjoy what they have made.

Other creators I like alot are Nic Nickerbash, and Scott Malzer.

Fungie's video have a special place, but he needs to make more. I also am currently amazed at how fast Mie'aga has improved in her skills, along with WTF and Armigatoo (SP?), who are both great Yaoi AMV creators.
