Top editors

[Voices_Of_Ryan]

You want to know the best, eh? Without a lot of work, you say?

Code: Select all

(define me 'expert)
(define best-editors (retrieve-top50-list))
(if (eq? me 'expert)
(let ((b (list-copy best-editors)))
(set-car! best-editors 'xervantes)
(set-cdr! best-editors b)))

(define bestest-editor (car best-editors))

Snide bullcrap? no... Koop is one of the best, most devoted editors PERIOD.

[Flint the Dwarf]

"Snide bullcrap" means that we didn't list off all our friends. I mean Wonka's friends.

Damn youngsters.

Apparently AMV's have now been around long enough to have multiple tiers of "oldschool." You want to find the _real_ oldschool stars, why don't you ask the people listed above for their "oldschool" list. You'd start hearing about the originating masters. The 2-VCR crowds. The people like Jingoro, C-ko Kotobushi, Matt Murray, Anna Exeter, EK, Mark Hariston, Duane Johnston, Brad DeMoss, and the incomparable Jeff Tatarek (stop being so modest, Richlather!) (Yeah, those are a bit mixed in the timelines....)

People who were making these before there were contests. People who inspired those who inspired the ones on your list.

(Not trying to start a fight here. Not saying the ones on my list need to be enshrined......... but props man, props.)

[Corran]

I agree with Wonka, those are all good picks.

[Otohiko]

I've been thinking about it, and though there is a number of editors whose work I look out for, I myself have concluded that it's best to look at videos individually, and not by editor. Being a great editor doesn't preclude one from producing crap, nor guarantees success every time.

But wait, why am I here?

Oh. Remember not to fetishize the inherent and delineated meanings of music videos.

I don't think it's snide - my definition of 'best' means the greatest of the editors I've seen - the ones everyone agrees are perfect - my top 3 being AD, Flux, and Koop, so linking to the vcas makes that blatantly obvious and is simple and to the point. He didn't ask who my favorite editors were, he asked who I thought were best - I think the best editors are the ones who best serve their fans - meaning the best according to majority opinion. Where's the snide non-answer in that?

If he decides he wants my favorites, I'll name them, but he didn't ask for that. The best editors are not my favorites, and I don't consider my favorite editors the 'best' on the site. I answered the question according to my opinion on what 'best' means.
