Favorite AMVs - Page 2 - 91.8 The Fan

XIamSogekingX · 01-10-2010, 03:07 AM

I thought I would step in here a throw out a few videos that pertain to videos of the Anime/J-Pop persuasion. The reason why Im not calling these AMVs or MADs is because I just don't want to get into this nice little informative debate. They are terms that have recieved very broad meanings but I could really care less what a video actually is. It's like why do they call Comic-con...Comic-con though it is becoming less and less a comic book convention and more of a pop media culture convention. People are just fans of the term and they dont want to call it anything else or make new names.

But the etymology of words and terms is still fascinating in certain instances (thanks to Hot For Words)

Anyway, enough chatter from me, this is a few I like:

Ah yes, as of late I have seen the rise in those 'character replacement' videos (Parody videos) rising:

And I'm surprised I have brought up Hyadain yet.

Nor trends that typically seem to span across AMVs, MADs and Youtube Poop Music Videos:

Indeed, the character replacement videos are something to take notice. Here are a few that I also like:

Just to clarify are we talking about the Higurashi one or the F/SN one?

Well I can't and I have. An AMV can't "be like a MAD" because they are MADs, so unless you can accept this we aren't gonna get anywhere. Technically I can't do that either, for basically the above reason, but I did reference the first two videos in my first post, but I suppose I wasn't explicit enough, so I'll repost.

There are distinct differences between MADs and AMVs. How would I know? Because I was a long time member at AMV.org.

AMVs are what I have already explained, stock footage on top of stock audio. The infamous AMV Hell is a shining example of this, with hundreds of submissions from hundreds of people being simply stock footage on top of stock audio.

MADs are usually a step above this, usually incorporating custom made graphics and modified music.

Also, let's not forget AMVs are western creations, while MADs are eastern creations.

A microwave oven and an oven. Their purpose? The same: To cook food using some sort of source of heat. Do they do it the same way? No, they do it in two completely different ways, essentially making them two completely different things with the same purpose.

~~Shadowblade Edge~~ · 07:31 PM

Oni your problem is that you're misattributing one, maybe two, types of MADs as all of them.

As to the East-West thing, if looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and tastes like a duck, it's a duck.

If this doesn't make my point to you I don't give a ♫♫♫♫ anymore.

Fun Fact: I picked 29 videos because this is the 29th response in this thread.

By the by most of these suck, I'm just trying to make point.

Just throwing out videos without attaching them to anything isn't proving anyone's point.

To be noted: You have gone from saying that AMVs are a sub-section of MADs,

Quote:

I don't see why it wouldn't. AMVs are just a subset of MADs, so as long as it's noise (AMV's grown to be pretty broad) over anime I'd imagine it's fine. I mean I already posted two.

to saying that they ARE MADs,

Quote:

Well I can't and I have. An AMV can't "be like a MAD" because they are MADs, so unless you can accept this we aren't gonna get anywhere.

And this is why I can't take you seriously. Your argument hasn't been able to stay on course the entire time. To me MADs and AMVs are two totally different ways of executing the music video, one done with stock footage on top of stock audio, the other being done in a much more complicated way.

So, no. I can't see your point, because your point keeps changing.

Oni's got a point...and, HOLY CRAP, that AMV really was awesomesauce! Clannad is my favorite anime. ^_^

Anyhoo...here's a couple more of my faves!

This AMV is what made me watch that anime.

And this one is my all-time favorite! I love trance!
