Kamoc would have to be on my list as a sort of cult figure. He's the kind of editor whose books I'd buy, whose T-shirts I'd wear and whose flag I'd put in my yard. And some other crap like that. I haven't even seen his videos in months but damn, they were good videos.
For Beo and Wonka - I always hate their videos when I first see them, and then I really like them. They at least deserve a gold star for actually making me feel such strong contradictions and kicking ass of sorts.
Bakadeshi is a master of polish and style, within the context of AMVs as fanworks. I love watching his videos get sharper and more perfecter as he goes on. I wouldn't ascribe him the title of either the most technical or the most stylish, but he has a good combination of these and it's always a pleasure to follow his work, as I did since the Animasia development days. He has a good attitude to his activity, and his videos are really just good fanworks as such.
Jasper-Isis (ok, jasper-isis) is an example of how to like an editor in context and outside of it. Her videos are very well-balanced, I think, and she does a lot of different stuff all along the spectrum. She's a very sharp editor and original thinker just in general, but knowing her as a person and watching her videos develop slowly and painfully (as they do) also gives them an interesting dimension for me. A bit longer, and I can start writing about a book about Jasper's editing or something
Tyler is a king of aesthetics. He's no silly technocrat, he really, really knows how to manipulate imagery at breakneck speeds to create great dramatic effects. Contrary to a lot of people, I never thought his ideas were particularly outstanding - but their execution is absolutely without equal.
Interestingly, all of the above I can recognize just by their editing style/approach, and they all definitely have one.
But they'd be Rubyeye, Fluxmeister, and Kamoc.
