What's your style of AMV Making?

Even though I'm a guy, I go for warm and fuzzy or dramatic. Have I ever edited an action video?

I don't really have a style...I have some (poorly attempted) comedy, drama, romance...uh....

I'd say that I'm still learning a lot, so I don't have a style yet...

none of my amvs have really been in the same category so far so my style has varied from amv to amv. For example on my "Fillers are over" amv i synced to the hard beats throughout the song since it has a lot of them and they are very regular, in the amv im currently working on i follow the beats irregularly since its a comedy and not a dedicated action sync, plus the song itself doesnt have too many hard beats to follow

I tend to sync more to the melody line and lyric phrasing. I like to accent other parts of the music with internal sync. I love to do instrumentals because there's more room to interpret the music than in a song with lyrics.

Must be a throwback to all the years I spent in band, jazz band and orchestra.

I played trombone and baritone...

My style, religion and choice of toilet paper:
DADA HUE DADA TZA

Otherwise I'm a fan of internal sync whenever possible, transition/cut sync whenever neccesary, and beat sync whenever unavoidable.

In other news, DOWN WITH 4/4

What´s my style?
I guess it is alround. It changes with every style. But I think that I´m more this types:

Do you follow the lyrics more than the beats and instruments?

and I sync to the voice of the singer or voice actor.

If I have a nice song it is pretty fine to follow just the beats. I did it once and it turned out nice.

The editing in general turned out right now into basic singel or two layer action or many layer action with a lot of overlays. I think that turned out after working with AE and I like it.
It helps the video to look more like the pictures in your mind of your own video.

There are no styles. Only concepts and various methods of execution in specific videos.

I tend to synch to the singer, mostly. As for other elements of my 'style', I prefer straight cuts and don't use many effects. Most of my AMVs fit in the catagories of sentimental, drama, character profile, or romance, although I've done some happy dance videos.

I think my style is called "shitty", but I'm not entirely certain yet.
