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.

My working titles are usually creative like: Untitled1, Untitled2, Crap, or Crap2.

It's not brain surgery.

Sometimes I think up a name based off the concept or take a piece of the lyrics for the title.. sometimes I don't care and just give it the same name of the song. It's not much of a big deal.

Two of my projects (The Plot Thickens and Mama) started out with the same project file: boring.ppj

I thought it was excellently descriptive :roll:

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.
