Anime: Cowboy Bebop
Song: Lost in Space
Artist: Infected Mushroom
Description:
As with most of my AMV''s I feel like I was reaching for something which I couldn't quite grasp with this video. I feel I did a fairly good job though, and I enjoy watching it at least so that's something.
I heard this song and I felt that I had to make an AMV with it, I also felt that Cowboy Bebop was really the only anime that could work properly with the song.
Most of the editing in this video was determined by what I felt was right for that point in the song. The lyrics are not in English so feeling was more important than meaning I reckoned (though meaning does come into it a bit too).
Anyway, hope you enjoy.

This was a request from my girlfriend - she wanted a super fluffy Tooru X Kyou vid to this song, so this is what I came up with.
I only used the first season as we've not watched the others yet (shame on us I know)

Anime: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Music: Walking in the air
Artist: Aled Jones
Description:
This is my video for round five of project org editor. The theme this round was "Gadgets and Gizmos", so I went with Nausicaa and her various flying machines.
I know the song is normally associated with Christmas, but I thought this anime/song combo would work quite well. I also debated really hard on which version of this song to use, I prefer the original version sung by Peter Auty, but Aled Jones won out because his version has much better production quality.
Out of all the videos I've made for POE so far, this one feels the most like a video I would have made naturally without the theme prompts. I also didn't rush this one as it didn't take me very long to clip this as it's a movie.

During November, violetskies hosted a Bentovid server editing challenge called Shabu Showdown. The aim of this challenge was over a four week period, there would be a theme each week which participants would create a video around. Additionally we had bingo cards containing certain video editing elements we also needed to incorporate into our videos to try and attain bingo, or Shabu (additionally we could watch other participants videos and claim secondary bingo squares, getting the coveted Shabu Shabu). This is one of the videos I made for this challenge. I didn't upload these videos initially as I made them quite hastily and for the first time in my life I didn't consider them "done". However I have come to the conclusion that realistically I'm never going to try and finish them, as I've mentally moved on, so I'm uploading them now.
This is the video I made for round three, where the theme was around settings and scenery, and trying to make the viewer immersed in the world. I don't know how to do that for real, so instead I thought of an anime that already had an interesting looking world and then decided to try and hyper focus on that. I really don't know how I did honestly - this video is a bit of a random mess. But hey! There's mushrooms, so it's all good.
And yes, I had no idea what call this AMV, so I absolutely stole the title idea from a much better video.

Anime: Gunbuster
Song: The Walk Home
Artist: Hans Zimmer
Description:
This AMV was completed as part of the Iron Remix IC hosted by AMV Sashimi.
There were two rounds, round 1 we had to make a random AMV in around 2 hours (or as long as we needed).
Round 2, the audio from our AMV's as well as the title of the video were given to other editors to create something with. This is one of the videos I made for this round. The original video can be seen here:
The finished videos were all played together side by side for comparison. Link to the stream: https://youtu.be/sXbXnNGVyR8
I made this in about three hours using only one episode of Gunbuster. When I first heard the audio it immediately made me think of this part of the anime!

As far as the video goes, I actually quite like this one despite it being made in three hours.

Description:
This is a video I made specifically for the RICE contest hosted by AMV Sashimi. There was a specific theme category for this contest which was "Mystic Mystique". Videos would qualify for this category if they focused on a character who had a mystic quality to them. So I decided to make a video that focused on the Medicine Seller cause why not. I tried to avoid the "horror" aspects of this anime.
I was super lucky in finding this song, I knew the kind of thing I wanted and after much YouTube deep diving I came across this. Surprisngly I'd never heard of the game ICO (probably cause I never had a PS2) but it seems really cool.
I finished this video in February and now that the RICE contest is over I can upload this.

I don't tend to make AMV's with current popular music, but I heard this song and my brain demanded I combine it with some classic Sci Fi Yaoi. This is the quickest I've made an AMV in a while.
Not too sure what this AMV is supposed to be. It's part action, part romance, part drama, but mostly it's lots of clips of dudes brooding hard.
I feel the need to warn people, while I did my best to avoid such content in this video, the anime is quite explicit.
This is also probably the closet thing I'm ever going to come to making an "aesthetic" AMV.

It's that time again! Project Org Editor hosted by animemusicvideos.org is happening. That means I'll hopefully be creating up to 6 videos over the next few weeks.
Each round of POE editors are given a specific theme that we have to edit a video around, trying to match the theme as best we can.
This week the theme was "House of villains" - where we needed to create a character profile video for a villain/anti hero.
My girlfriend is partially to blame for this abomination. I was a bit stuck trying to think of a villain and she suggested Adam from Sk8... The song choice is entirely my fault though.
Enjoy!
