If I remember right from English class, "amateur" refers to anyone who does not get paid for what they do, which would include all of us. Professionals get paid. So AmateurMusicVideos.org could work.

Anyway, back on subject...

One of the only reasons I got into anime and anime music videos in the first place was because I got into Final Fantasy MVs first. I probably never would have started making anime videos right away, since Final Fantasy footage was much easier to get and use than ripping from DVDs. And one game is much cheaper than buying a DVD boxed set. So I think VGMVs are a good way to start out. I don't like to watch them so much anymore, but every now and then I come across some really good ones (ie. ShonenDizzyCow's The Last Indigo Sky and CGAnim8t0r's REMINISCENCE). So I don't mind them being on the site at all.

Thanks Dashoutrider! *thumbs up*

I'd love to attempt to make some kind of VGMV web center, but that would take away from my own editing time.

I WILL do an arcadia vid BEFORE SOA Legends is out (NA)!!

but dc vids are a little harder as you have to analoguely capture it. No direct ripping method yet.

I don't think VGMV are all evil. True, most of them are done crappy, but there are a few great ones out there too, like CGAnim8t0r's Reminiscence.
Also why don't put VGMV up on the org? I think of it not only as a place for AMVs, but as a community for the creators. And when someone wants to make a good MV of a game, why not take a look at it?

I am currently working on another kind of VGMV. It's done to play-scenes of Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast. And I already put information about it on the org.

speaking of profesional music vids, ADV made one, it's cool ;-p (I consider it something different from the previews they mix cuz it's a song I recognize as not theirs *which in some respects makes it non-pro...* and it's about the full song (may be the full song...). It's on the Slayers OVAs, hidden ;-p animeondvd.com will tell you. (btw I noticed Ermac's a reviewer their -_-)

Hmm... Ermac was just saying that technically VGMVs don't belong here because they aren't anime. So yeah, technically, all non-anime videos shouldn't be on the site even though there is a category for them. I've liked some VGMVs so I don't mind them.

Sea of Stars is probably my favorite non-FF VGMV.

Feanor's made a few good VGMVs too. The first one I've ever seen was his Scum of the Earth video and it's still pretty good.

Technically all trailer, and parody vids shouldn't be allowed either. With or without anime, they aren't music vids. I really don't care though, I see Video game stuff and cosplay at every anime con. so I think it fits in.

I'll be waiting for the Skies of Arcadia video and the Jedi Outcast.. both favorite games of mine... as for VGMVs being a stepping stone into anime perhaps they are... I really started this thread to see what the general feeling was... I didn't really expect this much discussion... especially from alot of notable creators... I'm glad this is more of a debate and not just some flame thread where people insult each other's family lineage and whatnot...
