Want Suggestions For Rarely Used Songs.
I'm new to making AMV's, but i really want to try making them all new and different. So far https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCweRKy ... i-A21oVu_g those are all the AMV's that I have uploaded. I didn't find any other AMV's with the same song for the animes, although I am sure they are out there. Anyways, I would appreciate any suggestions for songs that aren't regularly used, so I can make a unique video.

lol why is it that big of a deal? edit whatever you like. as far as i'm concerned, even if what you create already exists, if you have no knowledge of it and do not make a single conscious reference to an existing version, then whatever you create is original. also, it's pointless to try and make "new and different" things...once you're not so bogged down by what others do, or don't do, is when you'll start naturally making things that are "new and different"

I completely agree. I just finished prison break and that song is used like no tomorrow and it was unlike any other one with the same song.

It's just that while I was getting more into AMV's, I saw a few people complaining about originality and same clips/music being used, so I wanted to try making something completely different. However I think you are right that eventually all my stuff will have it's own uniqueness, so thanks. I am new to this so I don't know everything, or even much about anything yet about making AMV's, but I hope to be there one day.

Re: Want Suggestions For Rarely Used Songs.
One thing to try is go through older songs. There's plenty of songs from the 80s and 90s, and earlier, that are really good but have absolutely no AMVs out there. For instance there's "In the House of Stone & Light" (which could work with various material but imho fits beautifully with Haibane Renmei). For a particularly old, relatively short song that would make an amusing AMV: It Ain't Me Babe. And there's plenty of anime out there to fit that song.

Re: Want Suggestions For Rarely Used Songs.
Is it really that difficult to find songs that haven't been used before? I mean, unless your music listening range encompasses only whatever happens to be popular on the radio at any given point, it shouldn't be hard at all to find a song that hasn't been edited with.

Re: Want Suggestions For Rarely Used Songs.
Well actually I don't hear any of the songs I want to use really on the radio, and the one I did, there were no AMVs of it. But other songs that I want to use like Save Yourself by My Darkest Days, Undone by FFH, A Little Faster by There For Tomorrow, or Through It All by Spoken are songs that I've liked for a while but have found other really good AMVs of.CrackTheSky wrote:Is it really that difficult to find songs that haven't been used before?
