The best or most influential "classic" AMVs

[Kireblue]

How does this only ever get 2 opinions? I thought this was a classic (1998!), is there a chance that I'm mixing it up with something else?

I think there was a really popular AMV to that song, but that wasn't it.

The one I know was by Lonley [sic] Driver Productions and used Akira, but it was from 2003, so not quite that old.

Can confirm this is indeed a classic video. I haven't see it in many years, I definitely remember it. If there was a more popular video with this song later, it's outside of the "classic" timeframe. Maybe after 2003 or so?

[You Know Who really]

Everything from You Know Who.

Thanks for including me. I appreciate it.

Plz fix the dates on your entries, I want to know when they were released.

Thanks!

OK well when I did my firs AMVs (1990) there weren't any AMV's out there to influence me. At least not that I was aware of. Remember there wasn't an Internet back then. If you can even conceive of a time without internet. So we had to trade tapes back and forth. The one video that got me jazzed was the Daicon 4 video. That is still cool, but I don't know if you could call it an AMV. Anyway here are a couple of my first AMVs which I have read have been influential...LOL

Do you happen to remember who did the Iczer 1 redub of Madonna's Isle Bonita? That's one of the old tape AMVs I got ahold of in the late 90s and eventually made into like 320x240 MPG. I think I have it somewhere...

If you have AMV's that predate online distribution on tape, have you considered getting them preserved digitally and getting them online?

[Kionon]

They already have been, and I've shared them. They were in the vault for a while. I think more people have them than just me.

What is 'Vault' and where do I finds? :O

[Kionon]

The vault was a collection of pre-Org stuff. Some of it was added to the Org, either by proxy or by the editors years later, but a lot of it that was hosted was stuff unavailable anywhere else. I believe Malificus last controlled it? But who knows now. Pretty sure it doesn't exist anymore. But I think Nate downloaded it all and has everything archived.

[You Know Who really]

sorry i don't know. I'm not sure I've even seen it.
