I like to come up with a title that matches the concept (sort of what Kisanzi said). Unless I'm feeling lazy, and then I just go with an amalgam title fromed from the anime+song title. This makes rather boring, unoriginal titles that don't stand out in any way what-so-ever, and I now try to avoid this.

This kind of sums it up.godix wrote:I used to just use the song title/anime combo. Then I used to take time and think up a title. Now I go with the idea that it doesn't really matter so I name it the first thing that comes to mind.
My working titles are usually creative like: Untitled1, Untitled2, Crap, or Crap2.

I thought it was excellently descriptive

The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Eh, usually whatever pops into my head. I just run the song title, lyrics, anime name and general theme/elements through my head and come up with something that sounds good to me that fits the AMV. I usually come up with the title somewhere in the middle of a project.
FullMetal Angst-anime title+theme
ReDemon-song title+subject
Shoot the Kitties-song title+anime title
Don't be late, Sousuke!-song lyric+character from the anime
The Sexy Gods Must Be Human-song title+subject/theme+random

Heh....good question.
My first attempt at editing, I actually named after the first DVD title in the series Human heart, metal soul
I, sadly am not that creative with titles.
My second vid I simply titled By your side, since I felt that seemed to fit the theme of the video.
I've currently got three amv projects I've been working on and off on, and each of them has working titles, but I can't say I'd stick with those.
It really depends on what I see when I finish a video what I decide to call it.
