Fuck effects as far as what you need to make a GOOD video.

As a metalhead, I'm sure you know this next fact I'm about to state. Good is not necessarily popular.

If it's a fundamentally bad video, all the effects in the world won't make it better. Effects can enhance certain videos, but if you over-use them it can actually detract from the video. A video with a good concept, good anime/song selection, good editing (sync, scene selection, timing and flow), and good video and audio quality can usually do without any (obvious) effects.

NO. They can make an amv better if done right but if theres none you can still have an awesome amv.

making an AMV but I'm a bit worried because some spots only have 5
stock effects at once. I know the great AMVs have 20 to 30 at once at
all times. So what effects can I add to the slow parts to increase the
shininess of my video?

Well here is where our knowledge of AMVs really can come in handy. First I must dispell the myth that these are stock effects, no each one is handcrafted for a very deep and symbolic meaning. We have compiled a list of the Single most important effects to use in your video. If you want to have a video that will win you contests and then money and women, you'll need to follow this guide. My crack team of investigative AMV watchers have invested countless minutes revewing all of the videos on a-m-v.org's top ten percent, in order to coallate a Top ten list of the single most important effects of all time. Let's get started shall we?

#10) Use Naruto, Bleach, or Dragon Ball Z, many people think these things are just source. I call those people ignorant fools. Naruto, Bleach, and DBZ are actually complex special effects, and are kind of cheating when it comes to winning fame and popularity. NARUTO AND SHIT!

#9) The Lens flare. The lens flare is the last bastion of the creative individual. So much is possible with lens flares alone you hardly even need footage, but combine them with footage and the creative possibilities are endless, Lens flare Nipples, Lens flare Crotches, Lens flare eyeballs, lens flare lens flares, and they can even be used to metaphorically represent the light that contributes to the final image actually refracts all the way through the lens assembly onto the sensor in addition to film flares that happen when non-image light ( i.e. sun rays) reflect off the lens assembly and strike the sensor. Metaphorically of course. LENS FLARES AND SHIT

#8)The Samurai X Strobe. This is a very specific strobe effect included in the footage, and thus makes it better than all other strobe effects. It also makes it our number eight effect. Please disregard the fact that the strobe will never be timed with your music, it only makes it more artistic, just like the film. SAMURAI X STROBES AND SHIT

#7) The bar effect. This is a very important effect, but sadly it's use is diminishing. The bar effect is one of Earth's non renewable resources. Over %50 of the earth's entire amount of bar effects can be found here.
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=61198 BAR EFFECTS AND SHIT

#6) Funny Accents. All of the best effect creators have accents better than yours. Unless you speak like a southern belle hand have blonde curls, If this is the case please contact inthesto@graffiti.net.
BEING EUROPEAN AND SHIT

#5)Schizophrenia, it causes you to hallucinate and see things that arn't there, and hear things that aren't there, add these are the two components of an AMV. So there you go.
PSYCHOSIS AND SHIT.

#4)Wrong Aspect Ratios. Are you tired of having all you favorite character be too short and fat? I know I am. Well when you use the wrong aspect ratio it makes the characters nice and tall and thin. This is especially good for drama videos, when the characters are thin they have eating disorders, and nothing's more dramatic that that. I might suggest going the other way for comedy videos. Everyone knows fat people are funny, and funny people are Jewish. Therefore fat people are Jewish.
MAZAL TOV AND SHIT

#3)Penile Enlargement Medication
Do you believe in magic? We suppose you're likely to answer "no.". We hadn't believed, either...until the moment we tried MegaDick! What this wonder medicine does to a human phallus cannot be called otherwise than a Miracle!
Just picture to yourself, that your love wand suddenly becomes longer and thicker and makes women tremble with desire!
It's fabulous!
LOVE STICK AND SHIT!

#2)Glow, if your video does not look like it's on a transparent overhead that's been put on the surface of the sun and projected on the moon during a lunar eclipse, obviously you've done something wrong.
GLOW AND SHIT

#1) In the beginning there was God, and the cross fade. God cross faded the universe and gave birth to heaven and earth. Day and night was formed when God cross faded from white to black. the separation of land and sea was nothing more than a cross fade. Everything that is was and will ever be is a direct result of the cross fade. And God saw the cross fade and the cross fade was good. It is also the number one effect.
GOD AND SHIT

And I think that's All we are going to answer for now. More questions are always welcome, and I'll try not to murder you all in your sleep.

:shock:

That was
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
