They started with Vlad, and they will end with Vlad

Vlad is the beginning and the End.

Vlad is the Alpha and the Omega.

Vlad IS AMV.

Well, that explains a few things

Let me tell you, an 80 year old man appearing and knocking on the passenger window while babbling about AMVs when you're trying to get your groove on in the back seat is a trying experience. It made me limper than that time I stumbled into a picture of DJ Izumi naked (sadly, I'm not making that one up). I mean ok Vlad, you're one of the founders of this hobby. Yes, your videos are good. Sure, you got talent. That's nice and all but LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE WHEN I'M IN MIDDLE OF FUCKING, DAMNIT! And pity poor Ileia, she never did get the satisfaction she deserves. She probably thinks I'm the worst lover ever and it's all Vlad's fault.

Auuuu.. yeaa... oookkkay.... All I can say is maybe less of that exotic food before bed time might save you... either that or better becareful of my wrath in your dreams

As for when it all started... hmmm.. the First AMV was done in Pre caveman days when editors woould carve thier AMVs onto stone tables... that's many stome tablets...

in reality? The first recorded AMV was in 1982.. I'm sure there were others prior. MVs (live action music videos) have a much older history...

And poor Pops has reached cult status now. Why do I suspect this may hit him in the ass come AWA?

That reminds me, I didn't answer the original question. So allow me to paraphrase something I remember saying once but god alone knows why.

Recently there was a discovery among ancient Roman ruins that appear to be an early example of a fanservice music video. By todays standards it's rather primative and simplistic but it does serve as a very interesting example of editing in the pre-computer days. Apparently a bunch of slaves would hold stones blocks with carvings on them. A few musicians would gather and while they were playing the slaves would run in front of the audience showing off their pictures. It was astoundingly well timed considering the poor state of linear editing at the time, unless of course one of the slaves tripped. The pictures appear to be of a story called 'draco globus zeta' and the music was composed by a group of men named 'concateno hortus' so it also serves as proof that ancient romans had no taste. The fan service came in by the fact the slaves were naked.

The very first video uploaded to a-m-v.org O_O

No, that was the first video entered into the database. The first videos uploaded were Phade's, to test the new system.

Give me 5 minutes and some motivation and wikipedia will tell you that not only did I make the first AMV, but it was also the best one ever made.
