Hey how are you guys doing. me and my friends are always watching and talking
about AMVs and then we get into fights about which one is better. so I ask the
question what makes a good AMV? well to me I really enjoy videos that have my
fav song and lots of action. I mean that videos that goes with the song and hit
every beat I love those kind of videos. I also like the AMV that use many
different animes. but my friend hates those kinds of videos that have lots of
anime he says that their not good and too random. so what do you guys think
makes a good AMV.
For me a good AMV is the one who got a really good song, like rock music in my
case and is about of a only kind of anime. Like example the AMV of Chrono
Trigger with the song Scum of the Earth of Rob Zombie.
I never like the AMVs with too many different series
1) Music
2) Beat/lip/lyrics synchronization
3) Editing, effects
Usually I don't like the amv if there is little connection between the visuals
and the audio. Of course, most of the time the use of footage from only a single
anime is a plus, but there are some amazing AMV's that make use of diff.
footage(i.e. AbsoluteDestiny - I Wish I Was A Lesbian). In my opinion pulling
off smth good while using loads of various footage from different anime is
harder<_<
Music
Efects
Synchronization betwen theme, music and the anime
When it's well done it's hard to find someone that doesnt like it, I know one
with Asuka from Evangelion with a music of Hamstein that even ppl who doesnt
like this band loved it.

Agreed. Tainted doughnuts, the song was in japanese, you had no clue what they
were saying, but the voice in the song matched perfecty with the characters
talking, and the beat of the scene...It was simply beautiful...
there is one thing I cant stand where people got and get random chunks of clips,
spal them together in Windows Movie Maker and call it an amv. Its all about
timing to the music and the overall feel you wanna express with it.
And I agree with Tainted Doughnuts that has to be the best cross over amv I have
seen specially since they got it to fit together so well even with the lighting.
One of my fav amv creators is VicBond007. I got addicted to his work after he
made Excel Saga look like one of the most tragic anime ever created
A good AMV is really the culmination of many elements into one homogeneous
product. Everything has to has to be compatible and well matched or it will just
become a bunch of random clips set to music.
The best AMVs tell a story with the song and the clips. The music and lyrics
need to go with the anime(s) used. I generally prefer AMVs that use fewer
animes, but action/comedy videos often make good use of many series. If the song
& story told by the AMV extend or relate to the story of the anime, it can
really increase the impact of the video.
Technical aspects such as timing, beat matching, lip syncing, and transition
effects need to be used properly. A good effect matched and synced to the audio
can really make a difference. While not necessary, a large number of timed
elements can really drive in the beet / rythm of the music.
Ultimately the video has to be enjoyable. Every aspect of an amazing video seems
to have purpose; every transition, clip, lyric, effect, etc.
Some outstanding videos:
One Piece - Captian Hampton
[Suberunker Studeosh] - Football
[Suberunker Studeos] - The Wizard Of Ozaka
[Suberunker Studeos] - Still Preoccupied With 1985
[Indifferent Productions] - The Chibi Things (That Kill)
[Indifferent Productions] - Stop The Rock
RahXephon - Euphoria [Koop]
Evangelion - Engel
Evangelion - Soul of an Angel [ErMaC]
First of all an AMV should NEVER be made from an anime that had subtitles. I
have made a few myself and i believe that one anime should be used and that you
shouldn't use a variety of series in the same clip unless it's just different
seasons of the same series. You need to be very talented and know what your
doing to successfully make a good cross AMV.
Of course song is important but any song will do if you have the right plan for
it. I think it's good to try to pick a song where the words can be heard and try
to match the clip to the lyrics...It's more fun that way.
I think the main thing that makes an AMV good would have to be the sinc between
the music and the anime. If it didn't have that you would basicly just be
watching some video clips while listening to you favorite music. The other stuff
like the choice of music and effects are still importants though too. When it
came to effects and editing i would have to say the two best videos i've seen
would have to be Euphoria(RahXephon), and Whispers of the Beast(Naruto). Weather
an AMV is good or not also depends on the person. One could think a video was
the best there ever could be while the next person thinks its the worst.
Quote by angelicdemonIIIcool cool
cool I love all of the comments thank you but also when it comes to the music do
you think that only rock music is good for making AMV?
Nope, many types of music can be used effectively. It becomes tricky if there
are long quiet periods in a song, and may require editing. Slower music is tough
to use effectively compared to music with a good beat and some bite to it. I
find that I enjoy AMVs with songs that have lots of variation in the music,
whether it be beat, tempo, lyrics, rhythm, etc. Rock, DDR / dance, alternative,
and techno tend to work well.
But there's no real limits, it's all up to the creativity of the person making
the video.
A good song, music-video sync (!), smart use of effects (nothing worse then
overusing them or making xx sparkling-leet-shit). And ofcourse good quality of
the video, without subs and not pixelated...

I agree with dobri and its not only that. WHen people make AMVs with
different anime shows in one I can't focus on the mood of the song and go with
the flow. I mean it works for parodies, I guess but when I'm listening to a love
song and watching a vid about Inyasha and Kagome I don't suddenly want to see
Sailormoon and her dude. They're different and only relate to the idea that they
are couples so in this vid, no thank you, haha.
1: The song has to fit...i mean really fit the story or character in the
video
2: The timing. It has to flow...can't be choppy or it loses major points
3: Not be done to the same song as 50 milion others
(yes that does mean that too many music videos have been made to linkin park. I
like them, but enough is enough.)
Wich one is better?
Nightwish - 10Th Man Down + 08th Mobile Suit Team = roks!
and
Rammstein - Engel + Neon Genesis Evangelion = awesome (don't know how many hours
of work are in there but it must be at least 30!)
and a third:
Michael Jackson - Thriller (?) + Trigun vs. Cowboy Bebop
for a good AMV the music has to fit the anime
rock music with ah my godess uh uh
synconization of the music and animation is also important
and personally i would preffer an AMV about 1 or 2 series
any more and it makes it a little too confusing
ok so all of your seem to like AMV that have sync and flow with the song. Oh
then there are two videos that you guys have to see one is called
Naruto's Technique beat by decoy ops and majin kenshin-toushi by zero tolerance.
both of those are really cool Naruto videos.
Mmmm toushi, the best one I've seen so far. I think that a good AMV are one that
makes the veiwer feel some emotion; excitement and sadness are the most common
and easiest, in my opinion. If the video makes you feel something, it's good. Of
course if this happens have to do with if you have seen the serie or not.
Well... AMV... for me it means a good combi of music and video. The music must
be able to bring out the feel of what the video is presenting, and what i'm
seeing must make sense with what i'm hearing too. Of course, if it's a song
that's in some language i do not understand, then the tempo must be good too.

One of my favorites is tainted doughnuts. It combines good music with a cross of two different music...
But a good AMV needs to have right music for the scene, such as rock for battles if possible use character appearence of talking, such.
1) Music
2) Beat/lip/lyrics synchronization
3) Editing, effects
Usually I don't like the amv if there is little connection between the visuals and the audio.

Good Quality Picture
Good Sync
Good Matching Music
Good Effects
Good Transition
Good Sound Quality
No Subtitles Where they aren't needed
i prefer a well matched amv and a single anime or 2 anime that blend precisely
the perfect combination of MUSIC, LYRICS and VIDEO
i like AMV that combine music and video only from the game or the anime, a song or a theme with action for a battle, fro example.
I´m sorry, but i don´t really like AMV with songs that doesn´t have anything to do with the game or the anime.
