AMV Spotlight of the Week

This weeks AMV Spotlight is on “snowdragon25”.  Since we are getting ready for the biggest party of the year, I thought this AMV was appropriate.  “snowdragon25” took the song “Party All Night (Sleep All Day)” performed by Sean Kingston and edited in several clips from different anime that featured the main characters dancing or singing.  The scenes have some transitions with no hard breaks between the variety of scenes, a really nice job.  The black border around the video is not my most favorite feature. I like for the AMV to take up the complete screen, but that’s just me. You can catch the AMV on YouTube under “Anime Dance Anime AMV – Party All Night” or check it out here:
