accomplish this? It's very hard to do well, I think...

OK, I've downloaded a couple of your vids, watched them a
few times...
nailz, I got your Nightwish AMV. It's ambitious, no doubt
about that. The song has nice imagery and there's a good
match between the lyrics and the scenes you chose. Both
the music and the anime have that "epic" feeling, it's
a good selection. A bit long for my taste, though, but then
again audio editing is a cop-out :)
That said, I failed to see a story develop. It's not that you
cannot make a story with that song, it's just that the song
itself doesn't tell one (perhaps only in the most vague
terms, i.e. love and death?)
requiett: I liked your AMV a lot, and the song is great (will
have to get that Muse CD... reminds me of early 80s U2).
It's very well edited, even if 2/3rds into it you start showing
space battles just because the song speeds up (the song
talks about hope, expectations, black holes and
revelations... but no mention of mecha fighting in outer
space).
It's a cool song, and yes, thematically it's a great match with
Voices of a Distant Star, but again, it does not tell a story.
It's a love song and you chose to interpret "starlight"
and "black hole" literally. The feelings within the song
are mirrored by the anime and so you managed to make
a coherent, harmonious AMV.
But... it's a love song about feelings, not a story about love.
It is not what I was asking about.
Here's another example of what I'm looking for:
Island of Souls
Again, this song tells a clear-cut story, no need for
fancy allegories or clever interpretations (yes, there's
also social commentary, but I'm looking at it in the most
obvious way). Interestingly, this song hasn't been used
for an AMV as far as I can tell.
As I said before, I'm not saying AMVs have (or even should)
be made this way, but someone must have challenged his
or herself this way, yes? It's hard because songs which
tell actual stories do so based on real-life events, so
no aliens, space-battling mecha, magical elves, or
naughty tentacles (essentially ruling out 90% of all anime).
Someone? Anybody?

There are mechs, and the song is instrumental, but I used the anime to match the mood and I told a story created by me outside of the anime itself.

This one's my political commentary. It's using a war anime, but I'm really not re-telling the story of the anime like it might appear.
Kusoyaro: We don't need a leader. We need to SHUT UP. Make what you want to make, don't make you what you don't want to make. If neither of those applies to you, then you need to SHUT UP MORE.

I've watched another couple of suggestions.
Flint the Dwarf: I downloaded your "Consequences of War"
AMV. I didn't see the other one because you mentioned
it's instrumental and therefore it cannot be what I was
asking about (story-driven lyrics).
I didn't enjoy the video very much, mostly because the music
isn't to my liking and I found the middle discourse somewhat
jarring. Judging the video objectively, however, I can tell
you put a lot of effort into it and the timings, transitions and
choice of scenes are very good. I also like that you had
something to say in your AMV regarding the futility of war
(hope I got it right :)
Although you follow the lyrics pretty closely ("blood is on
our hands", "chains that bind", etc) it's still a song about
the nature of war in general, not about any particular
event within a war. There really isn't a story there.
Orwell: well... it was interesting. It's a well-made parody,
but there's no narrative whatsoever. So, doesn't qualify :)
I mentioned in a previous post "Don't stand so close to me".
Here's an AMV which attempts what I'm talking about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHsaq18yQY0
(I don't know if the silly word filter will mess up the link,
this AMV is not on the org and banning the mention of
you-tube is downright stupid when trying to have a legit
discussion of material not available locally).
The video isn't very good, but the first half sort of succeeds
at what I'm asking for. The second half falls apart and the
story is not fulfilled to its conclusion, but the first couple
of minutes kinda hold it together, save for the obvious
fact that all the awkward onus is on the student and none
on the teacher. The scene in the car is a pretty fortunate
match.
I really appreciate your suggestions so far!
