Incidentally this is what I tried to do In Angels Redemption, and it was still received well. (even by some who havn't seen it) Its bringing to light an aspect of the series and emphasizing it. (the darker side of Ayashi no ceres) Actually Swallow probably is the same aswell. I personally like to view both styles. But I do see were your comming from, alot of people these days are making more original video ideas rather than emphasizing an aspect of the show.SSJVegita0609 wrote:Coffee 54 wrote: Oh, incidentally, I included the link to the video because Mr. Vegita, you still owe me an op on that one.I'm so sorry sir, I'd totally forgotten about that since my hardrive crashed.

As for the rest of you, namely those arguing that I'm trying to slander originality. I think you're taking what I'm saying more extremely than I'm meaning it to be. What I stated was the use of an aspect of the anime (INCLUDING the mood, rubyeye) and using a song that truely emphasized it. I'm not talking about straight rehashing of what you've already seen or understood, I'm talking about EMPHASIZING it, looking at it in a new light. I can go back to Eden for this. Videos like it are taking something out of the anime, in this case a very strong message, and artistically bombarding it upon the viewer. Hell, I know people that entirely missed the philosophical aspects of Trigun and watched it purely for the sake of the comedy and action. But I could show them that video and they could suddenly take the series in a whole new light.
I'm not as extreme in my views on this as Beo is, I'm not proclaiming that anything that shamelessly uses After Effects "sucks". I think people can make and enjoy whatever they want.
The entire purpose of this thread was just for people to discuss why the AMV world seems to be progressing in the direction it is.
I think too much emphasis is being placed on Originality these days which is causing people to trend more towards that. Especially since so many new editors are hitting the scene so quickly now, with how easy/cheap descent editing software is getting, so its harder to be original in that area.
