Planning.

meh, you can have the greatest plan in the universe, but if you don't have experience/put time & effort into it then chances are slim to none that you'll turn out a "good" amv.

I can't seem to plan every little clip out beforehand. I usually hear a song, think of an anime and get to it. I usually have one little section planned out in my mind, then I use that to put more footage in, listen to the music, (thinking awhile about what would fit in a particular spot) and put more footage in.

That is the category I also fall into myself, so don't bitch me for "arrogance". I am just fed up with people who think they know things so well without looking at themselves first. Now all crawl back behind your little presets and take a cup of shut the fuck up.

ROFL thats the best post of the decade!

I'de like to add that 99% of the time, the people who are talking about hard fast rules that determine AMV quality wouldn't know a quality work if it fucked them in the ass.

People need to spend more time EDITING and PROGRESSING and less time TALKING.

Then they try it and panic when they realize that they didn't THINK ahead, that they only had footage from one or two episodes and somehow had to make that in to a 4 minute video, and they didn't know a damned thing other than how to use a Star Wipe.

I can make it awesome.
