Comments on AMV idea wanted
The song is so obvious for making a good AMV I think, so I wanted to ask the community veterans.
Aerosmith - Dude Looks Like a Lady
I did a search and saw there was a listing of around 20 AMVs using the song, but not all of them finished, and only 1 had a decent amount of hits -- Bishounen Madness. But that one also is still listed as not premiered, and apparently for a long time.
I figured it would be best as a Various video, and thought of a couple good manga scenes I think could be tossed in there as well with some FX work ala how its used in FLCL. (One scene in particular from Pretty Face I think would work well)
So what do you think? Overdone? Not done well and might be worth me trying?

I plan to do a vid to that song next year, so overdone doesn't matter much to me. Unless you're planning to reuse the exact same anime as the already-existing videos, yours won't be the same. There were quite a few vids for "i'm too sexy" when I used that song - it hasn't made any difference with the bishonen fans. As long as you get a fresh spin on the idea, feature some fresh anime, and keep the quality pretty, people will enjoy it.

Yeah I plan to use at least primarily DVD sources if I do it. (Go Netflix!) And I think between Premiere and AfterFX I could come up with some interesting scenes using a few manga pages I have in mind as well.
I wasn't going to go the bishounen route per se. More stuff like Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi, of course have to use IMM:Strawberry Eggs, BC from Vandread, and even some reverse situations with like Akira from Mai Hime or Megumi from Tenshi na Konamaiki, etc.
I'll have to think of more of them, but even when just considering cross-dressed characters to use theres plenty to choose from.
As far as the overdone bit ... it doesn't really concern me if theres a number of videos that used it if they didn't get that popular. Now if it was something like using Frou Frou's Must Be Dreaming song, I think it wouldn't be worth it, because of how popular Euphoria is that everyone would rail on you for it for example.

You'd be surprised...Hell...I was surprised to learn there was an Aeon Flux fandom going into Reign...so ya never can tell...

When I saw the first episode of Gundam Seed I was pretty turned off for the fact that almost all the boys looked like girls and one girl looked like a boy because of her short hair (and lack of a girlish figure). Then it turned into typical Gundam which is good and bad, but that's neither here nor there.Heero_Yuy84 wrote:(...and, on this note, I personally find Hisashi Hirai's designs to be pretty repellent as well (the man has no sense of gender identification) but I STILL see fanboys for some his character designs)
