All of <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... olden's</a> vids are great storytellers.

Another of my favorites that both combines animes and changes the stories is <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=68839"> All For My Love</a> by Kragdrim.

Bakadeshi is pretty good at getting a story across.

Try:
AR2: Bakadeshi: Circle of Sin It's an instrumental, that tells a story quite well with no lyrics.

Bakadeshi: Accidentally in Love It has lyrics, but still does a great job of telling a story for two side chracters in the show.

Corran: The last transmission Also an instrumental of sorts. Sort of an artsy peice, but it does a great job of telling a story. I really liked this one.

Pen-Pen2002: Requiem for a Nightmare - Yet another instrumental, that also tells it's story.

Whisper of the Beast has a story?

Zetsumo has a story?? Sorry to Bakadeshi, I love Bakadeshi, but when you get this far out it's all just artist interpretations. AMVs are music + video, why try to tell your story with just video? Sure you can make an instrumental, but, logically those are a> action or b> dance amvs keying on beats and/ or sound effects. I would take the time to pimp my own videos as both are what I'd call heavily story based (the first one haveing NOTHING to do with the anime -_-) but I'm too lazy. You bitches probley wouldn't beleive me anyway o.0.

DCDeveloperX also does an EXCELANT job in this aspect.

If you want an AMV that tells a story, just click my sig. Its a 25 minute story.

I think a point worth mentioning is that (I would bet) people don't appreciate the story in the video unless EVERYHTING else is good. If your video is telling a narrative but the editing is boring, say goodbye to your narrative, because no one cares.

Things poeple notice in a video in order of priority:

Song
Effects (if present)
Anime
Editing
Story

If all your ducks are in a row, THEN you can appreciate the story and the other finer things. But if they aren't, you can't. I don't give a shit about the story the video is telling if I hate the song, or I think the effects are tacky.

sort of. There are amvs that watching the anime is a MUST, describes the anime, and there are amvs that stand up on their own, so you can flic ole anime out of that equation.

my akira video would be
song
effects (not present)
anime (not relative)
story
editing (it ABSOLUTELEY sucks so I can't see how anybody could rate this over story on my video)

a few others like it would be... would be... well none other like it (mostly cuz I don't want to say Elvis vs. Anime's or Purpose of Pursocon's editing sucks ;p) a CLOSE one, though would be The Wired Knight's Ephalumps and Woozles vid.

On my second vid I'd put the order more EXACTLY as you said, though.

For me what most AMVs do is they take an theme from the anime and emphezize it through the AMV rather than try to tell the entire anime story line. I think this is the most effective.
