I think you just avoid overused sources because you want to keep the illusion of originality when really you're just doing the same crap with some pictures that aren't seen as much.
An original Naruto amv > an "original" Legend of Sirius video anyday.
BUT BESIDES ALL THAT, can't we just have fun? If you have an idea (whether it's original or not) for an anime (whether it's whored or not) then just go for it. Sometimes it's good practice being generic so you can get fundamentals and maybe do something completely original someday!
It's like drawing from life. The picture is by no means original or something for you to claim as your own idea, but it's something essential to becoming an effective artist. Even anime and newspaper comic-strip artists have to learn to draw from life before they can just sit down and give birth to their own characters. Without the basics they all come out as if some emo 7th grader drew it during math class.
THEN YOU GOT DEVIANTART! -shot-
You can't start out by editing amvs with ten page storylines. First ya gotta learn to draw what god gave you. You gotta edit the story of the anime you're using. Then ya gotta absorb the silent teachings of Michelangelo, Picasso, and Tite Kubo! You need to take inspiration from editors you admire, from editors that make you wanna open up vegas or adobe or w/e the hell you fags use, and imitate them. Study their technique, their motivation, their message. In time you start to add personality to your characters, and you begin to develop ideas that you didn't see in another picture. You start to add little techniques, ideas, and thoughts of your own. Someday, you become an original.
Just because two or more paintings may use the color blue, doesn't mean that there aren't endless possibilities.
Just because there are 854,000 AMVs with Naruto doesn't mean you can't say something new with the same color.
That said, just because you use the color red, doesn't necessarily mean the picture you paint is any different than the typical blue painting.
OR! Just become a portrait artist and be totally awesome but COMPLETELY unoriginal.
(plus. Originality is like 1 of 10 categories in an OP, so why give over 1/10th of a shit?) -

I like godix's definition personally.
"...a troll is someone who tries to trick you. If [someone] said your video was so brilliant that he wanted to cybersex you, and he was an 18 year old hot woman, then that would be a troll. Telling you that your video just plain sucks is, at worst, flaming."
Journal Wars are fun, can someone link me to the op that's making Otakugay cry? -
