Re: Videos that never happened
my favorite lost project, there were many, was an AMV that had Devo - It's a Beautiful World, to all the great freaky scenes of End Of Evangelion. I think even godix liked it. However, all my source material is gone.

Re: Videos that never happened
I... well I have tons. But all they do is turn into videos I never SHOULD HAVE made 
I noticed a couple of youtube trends, one involves a closeup on an upside-down mouth that hillariously (and rather grotesquely) looks like a living breathing sock puppet xD the other is dubbed Kinetik Typography, it's basically a video made strictly from words. The first one (Big Face) I DID pretty much before anybody else did too, and the second one I SHOULD HAVE did, but I had the idea ever since my first internet IC... screw the content just make it out of letters and basic effects!!

Re: Videos that never happened
Aside from the oft-used reply of "lots", a few of mine have a little history:
Portrait of the Addict: My first full-blown attempt at making an AMV resulted in, among other things, a near-nervous breakdown as I tried to figure out the technical aspects of AMVing, the purchase of the entire Saiyuki series, multiple hard drive failures and well over one hundred hours struggling with approximately 15 seconds of footage. Today, Portrait of the Addict remains an attractive AMV concept (I still have all the clips I ripped because I learned to back everything up on disc, lest one's hard drive die), one that I'm inevitably asked about when the conversation turns to AMV amongst my friends, but it's just got sooo much baggage... Plus, in the six - seven? years since I conceived it, other people have gone on to exploit a similar concept with huge success, so I feel I'd be viewed as extremely late to the supper table if I pursued it.
In the Key of V: Not sure if this makes me seem very creative and smart or just incapable of doing my homework, but I got the idea to create an AMV entirely out of still images (from animated footage, no less) before I knew what a MAD was. Talk about taking the wind out of MY sails. This idea was partially born out of the above trainwreck, when it looked like my computer couldn't handle video editing unless I worked with still images.
XII: I've attempted this AMV twice and am hunkering down for a third go-round. This means obtaining Netflix footage for the third time, ripping the entire series for the third time and creating custom (and time-consuming) artwork for the third time, since I destroyed all materials from previous attempts in fits of rage/as a warning to myself never to attempt this video again. This time it's do or die, though. If I don't give it everything I've got, I think I'm going to regret it...and I hate that feeling.
Untitled: Ripped and clipped the first season of MOHS four times for this, the second season once, got key scenes on the timeline and liked them...then abandoned it over and over when I got distracted with other projects or didn't like the direction it was heading, deleted all materials, etc. Clearly I love wasting my time. I think I just love prepping footage from this series, it's got so many great scenes that can be used for all sorts of nefarious purposes.
The trend here is that I get so in love with ideas that I'm willing to pursue them fanatically...only to abandon it all when the unpleasant truth that AMV creation involves a lot of compromise rears its ugly head. I'm a creative control freak.

Re: Videos that never happened
I have a ton, most of which I can't remember anymore.
Two memorable ones were, "untitled" using War of the World's up against Everything Ends by Norihiko Hibino. I started the first two minutes of it, decided I didn't like it and then trashed it. The second one was "Human Nature" using FFX and X2, I was just starting to use Adobe at the time. Sent it to a few people and decided to trash it, it was incomplete, and lost it in a reformat and was never found again. All the rest were victims of the same fate, didn't like it, didn't finish. Only one video made it after hanging by a thread for almost two years, it's my newest one, Redemption using DMC4 and Orchard of Mines by Globus.
A video I always wanted to make a video about candy, since I love candy more than anything, cept for video editing. But I just don't see how I could throw something like that together...

Re: Videos that never happened
I have like 10 unfinished betas sitting on my external HD ranging from 2003-2007 never too see the light of day. Maybe some day I will release them all in one nice little package.
My biggest regret is never being able to finish my Sportscenter tribute, it was going to be my tombstone video...now I will have to settle for Moneyshot.
