Anime Music Videos: Doing it Right - Mar 26, 2008 - 11:02am
I've won a few awards for "I Am Fullmetal" and "Ominae Will Die Another Day"; mostly these were at relatively smaller conventions like MTAC, Oni-con, and Bakuretsucon, back in 2005. I haven't been as fortunate lately, but I hope this changes this year with my next video.
Everybody's tastes differ with AMVs, but I'm glad that you demonstrate a broad slate of selections.

I highly disagree with you about "Naruto's Technique Beat"; "BTB" (substituting Bleach for Naruto and using a very good and appropriate upbeat song) the very next year did it much better. Ironically, both videos were done by the same studio, but with different editors.
I noticed that the other videos are already several years old, which basically makes them classics in any AMV editor's (or connoisseur's) mind. Not to say that there aren't more recent great videos out there, but I like that you chose some universally loved AMVs. (Well, with the possible exception of Naruto's Technique Beat....)
I love watching and appreciating good AMVs, and I love editing a few of them myself in my spare time. I've even won a few contests in the past. It is nice to see someone writing about what makes good AMVs. :)
