Trying to find an old AMV, found it here, can't download it

Post by Trojianmaru » Sun Sep 01, 2024 2:41 am

Literally the first AMV I ever watched, were by this guy Charlie Martin. I'm talking pre-youtube being bought by Google, 2006. I hadn't thought about his amvs for years, but recently a few youtubers have started reacting to the old 90s anime, Golden Boy, and it reminded me of a fantastic AMV he did to the song Maybe I'm wrong, by Blues Traveler.

I finally found him here,
https://www.animemusicvideos.org/member ... r_id=25229
But none of the downloads work, and his original website is down. (and probably has been for two decades)

Is there any possible way to access his amvs now? Or is it a lost cause?

I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that this editor's personal website is available on the Wayback Machine here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20030515000 ... ~chmartin/

And, actually, a bunch of this editor's videos are available to download from the snapshots on there! The bad news is that the download link for Maybe I'm Wrong seems to be one of the ones that was not archived, and unfortunately I don't think there's a way to access it.

However, some other good news is that this editor seems to have an active Wordpress blog here, and while I couldn't find an About Me section or anything with contact information, if you're feeling adventurous you could leave a comment on one of his posts and ask if he has the video and would be willing to send it to you. You could also try reaching out to this editor via his YouTube channel, by commenting on one of the AMVs he's posted on there (sadly, Maybe I'm Wrong seems not to have made the cut there either!). The channel had a video uploaded to it about 8 months ago as of this post so it's not a "dead" channel and there's a chance he'll see your comment.

Good luck!

That’s awesome! This is super helpful! I didn’t even think to check the Wayback Machine for videos. I’ll give the blog and YouTube options a try too, who knows, maybe I'll get lucky. :lol: snake game :lol:
