AMVs that -should- exist...

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

...but don't.
For those of us who don't have the time or the equipment to make 'em, but want to throw ideas to those who do...
My #1 nonexistent AMV:

Not so long ago, I found myself listening to Kansas' album In the Spirit of Things. And, since I had been obsessed with Inuyasha for a while, then, I started thinking about... AMVs! What was scary was that I could come up with reasonably detailed concepts for just about every song on the album.
Some highlights include -
One Man, One Heart - centered on dogboy himself, of course, with special attention to the his relationship with Kagome and how it plays out across all three of his forms.
One Big Sky - Kagome vs. Feudal Japan! (oh, come on; could you resist? 'we are children of the future...')
Inside of Me - Of Sango, Miroku, love, and the masks people choose to wear.
Bells of Saint James - Kikyou and Inuyasha, from the former's POV
The Preacher - Miroku does action-comedy.
Blessed be.

I have a short list of videos I want to try my hand at making, now that I have a system that can handle it. I won't reveal some of them -- one in particular is something Peggy came up with last year and is just such a great idea that I'm surprised no one else has done it yet, and I don't want anyone to steal it! But I threw one out at the Poolcleaners consortium a little while back, when it didn't look like I was going to be making a video any time soon: Veruca Salt's "Seether", for a profile of Akane Tendo.

I've always imagined someone doing a "training montage" video to "I'll Make a Man out of You" from the Mulan soundtrack, featuring every cracked martial arts master in anime- Genma Saotome ranting about "Did they send me daughters, when I asked for sons?" seems particularly appropriate.

[Star Ranger4]

DokiKitty Productions did one, but not really like that. Its over at AMV, features Ryoga in Donny Osmunds part."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

Unfortunately, the link for that video over at amv.org is broken.

Well, I got a copy of it before it went down. 35 megs, so I don't really wanna mail it direct unless asked for."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

I have a horrible urge to do a Crest of the Stars AMV to "Star Trekkin'" by The Firm.

I just want to make vids. Is that so wrong?

[jpub]

I've said it before, I'll say it again:
1) Sailor Moon (especially Serenity) to Billy Idol's "Mother Dawn"

2) Battle Athletes to Rush's "Marathon" (actually, from a melodic viewpoint, some lengthy fight scenes could work for this too)

Geneshaft with ... wait for it ... the theme from "Shaft" by Isaac Hayes. I mean, hey, it's a show where they set out from the get-go that the male-female ratio is 1:9. Hayes and all those background singers ....

" I have a horrible urge to do a Crest of the Stars AMV to "Star Trekkin'" by The Firm."
There is actually one of Nadesco set to that... Pretty funny. Sits on my LifeDrive, for when I need a chuckle during work...

Quoth Star Ranger4:

-----------------------------------------
FTP it? I have an FTP account on my domain set aside for guest access (anonymous FTP isn't allowed by by contract) -- I could host it for a while.

[SkyeFire]

Quoth the Norn's Big Brother:
2) Battle Athletes to Rush's "Marathon" (actually, from a melodic viewpoint, some lengthy fight scenes could work for this too)
-------------------------------------------------------
Somebody did this one (although maybe it was BAV, not BA), and it really rocks, intercut with live-action bits from the Rush video. The audio mixing in some segments where the anime dialogue is (I assume) intended to be audible could use a bit of work, but aside from that, it's pretty good.
It's on my hard drive at home, I'll have to look it up when I get back.

[Star Ranger4]

A thought, that, but I seem to have deleted the file in question a couple of months ago Bert."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

[Reyemile]

You'd think it would have been done already.
I hate Ranma, and I hate Linkin Park, but every time I hear this line from In The End, I can't help but think of Ranma's relationship with Akane

---

In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)

---

[Ayiekie]

(Wouldn't that be Akane's relationship with Ranma?)
On the subject of Linkin Park videos that haven't been done, "With You" to SMJ's Tiger would be incredibly appropriate:
Even though youre so close to me
Youre still so distant
And I cant bring you back
One of my favourites, that I really want to try someday because I'm sure nobody else will, is do Great Big Sea's "Consequence Free" for a Utena video featuring Miki/Kozue:
Wouldn't it be great
If the band just never ended
We could stay out late
And we would never hear last call
Wouldn't need to worry about approval or punishment
We could step off the edge
And never worry about the fall
And on the note of Utena vids, Green Day's Basket Case would make an awesome "Nanami Episode" video:
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?
