Sypnosis:
AMV stands for "Anime Music Video" which is an exciting, and quite popular interest that was started sometime in the early 90's, basically, right when anime was really starting to get it's notice.
the 1st creation style of AMV authoring/Editing was simply - 2 VCR's connected to each other. the whole idea of it, was using one VCR to scan through a anime VHS tape, and stop at a certain point, (what we call key cuts now, or just "cuts"), while the other VCR, would record those cuts.
of course as you can imagine, doing it that way was a very, VERY long process, especially if you wanted the cuts to match up with the music track you added in later.
when it came to actually adding the music in with the cuts, you really had only one option at the time "well, if you weren't a movie editor that is", using stereo input/output connected right into the VCR playback "which ever VCR you chose for the playback feeds", turning the volume of the tape track down and allowing the stereo track feed to over-lay that.
both of these tasked required hours and hours of planing ahead, knowing what part of the song track would land where on the video cuts, and all this doesn't include effects, which at the time, was really non-existent, only thing you could really pull off, was really short frame cuts for short periods of the track, which gave off the widely known flicker effect, used to accompany those ultra fast drum/bass beats.
Now a-days with the widely availability of audio/video editing programs such as Adobe premiere, pinnacle studio series, and even windows movie maker; making an AMV is not the hard task it used to be, though making a "good" amv is still a passion-related task :P
Show-and-Tell:
ok, so what i'll do, is just start off by posting two AMVs, and we'll go from there. (crosses fingers) you guys can comment on them if you like, even give your thoughts on how it could have been better.
you can also make a request, if there's Anime you'd really like to see, but having it go to your favorite song, chances are (and they are very high) someone made that video already, and i'll find it for you, and post it here.
if you want to post one yourself, that's fine as well.
note that it looks a lot cooler, and people tend to like it better, if you embed the video, right in the post.
rules are pretty simple, please keep posts and replies topic related, no spam please.
okeee! first video!

P.S. Kleaefmiir is the name of a user that first collaborated with me about 15 months ago in making a forum-oriented thread dedicated to AMVs, and i've been making the same thread in every forum community i've been a part of since then. (expect the few that don't allow video embeds.)
As always, this thread is dedicated in memory of her - i miss you Onee-chan.
