Anime Music Videos, or AMVs for short, are appearing more and more on YouTube. Why? Well, to show your appreciation for a show, instead of just clipping out your favorite scenes and sharing it with others, making a full-blown music video is a little more creative and way more impressive.
You can add special effects, use epic-sounding music, control the mood (sad, funny, etc), and basically make a true work of art.
One of my favorite artists is “Raven” - she makes remarkably good AMVs for Avatar. I honestly don’t expect many people beside Charlene and David to appreciate this, but these are pretty cool to watch and they have great music. Hope you like them too. =)
Katara - Mojave / Great focus on character
Avatar - Into the Fire / Good display of character emotions
Avatar - Cells / Epic finale
