AMVs that make you want to give up

[BasharOfTheAges]

I didn't find that to be impressive to be honest. Find a better vid to not be able to measure up to.

Winner!

None. The better the AMV the more inspired I am, and the harder I want to work. If I had to pick one though...

Ugh, that piece of trash?
90% of videos from the past 5 years have better effects

90% of videos from the past 5 years have worse effects

Fixed.

Even so, those videos rather lack charm

I've seen too many professional music videos, and VFS short films to be impressed by effects anymore. It's only once in a while that I come across an AMV with impeccable sync.

Two examples.



Still the best internal sync I've seen.

Another one actually comes from the tube and isn't cataloged. Specifically, the last few moments of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZM0tEBV1EQ&t=2m29s

Every time the guitar sounds, and the train rolls past the screen, I think, "Shit. This is really good." And then I look at my crappy timeline and close Premiere.

I never really felt that I wanted to give up after any particular video release, but these videos have definately made me feel out of my league so to speak when they first appeared.

take your pick...

These are pretty much all technical videos. Really good non-tech videos have also left strong impressions on me but usually they fall into the realm of "I can do that".

"Magic Pad" has the ability to both make me despair and inspire me to edit better. It's one of the few videos that's technically amazing and yet still has an emotional connection with the music.

The first time I saw the smoke effect in "Property of a Lady", I just wanted to curl up into a ball and cry.
