AMV Spotlight of the Week

This week’s spotlight is on YouTuber malpercio6.  The AMV that was created takes the song “Dynamte” performed by Taio Cruz and edits it around clips from several anime.  The editing was done very cleanly.  The cuts from scene to scene were done with the bass (drum) beat of the song.  Black and white imagery and images of malpercio6’s own design (mainly stars with the words written within the stars) worked to great appeal.  The song itself is just a great upbeat song and no matter what you do, I beat you head will be moving to the beat.  Great job malpercio6.  You can check out the AMV below or find it on YouTube under “[MEP] Like It’s Dynamite”:

AMV Spotlight of the Week

This weeks AMV Spotlight is on YouTuber xthehuntressx.  Xthehuntressx takes the song “Fighter” performed by Christina Aguilera and edits it around scenes from Justice League.  These cut scenes are very clean and crisp, which makes the AMV so much nicer to view.  At one point I began to wonder if xthehuntressx used Black Canary to emulate Ms. Aguilera, when Black Canary is using her sonic scream I just pictured Aguilera hit her high notes.  The one fault I have for the AMV is that it has side borders. If the video image would have fit the YouTube screen it would have been more attractive. One of the great things about this video is that you get to see a verity of DC heroes.  Some you will know and others that are less known unless you read DC Comics.  Great job xthehuntressx.  Thanks to YouTube for the video and you can find it on their site or check it out below:

AMV Spotlight of the Week

I know a couple of weeks have slipped by that I didn’t get to our AMV Spotlight.  This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber “garblehose”.  “Garblehose” takes the song “Secret Agent Man” performed by Johnny Rivers and edits it to scenes from the FX show Archer.  If you remember we did a review on Archer on Episode 17 of ComicPop Library podcast, so you knew we had to do an AMV of Archer eventually.  The selected scenes fit the lyrics of the song really well and the cuts are very clean.  Great job on this AMV “garblehose”. Be warned that this is a mature AMV and is not appropriate for all audiences, it contains violence and partial nudity.  You can check out the AMV below or on YouTube under “Archer – Secret agent man”:

AMV Spotlight of the Week

This weeks spotlight is on YouTuber “kapparomeo”.  I picked this AMV because it is the week of our Fourth of July celebration and many men and women died to make this country.  This individual to the anime Sora no Woto and edited scenes to the song “It’s a Good Day to Die” from the movie Starship Troopers 3.  The editing was nicely done and the words fit the scenes very well since it is within the confines of battle/war.  Thanks to “kapparomeo” for the AMV and if you want to check it out you can go to YouTube and look under “Sora no Woto AMV – Starship Troopers 3″It’s a Good Day to Die” & Carl Fischer “Il Bersagliere” or check it out below:

AMV Spotlight of the

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber potakun.  Potakun takes the song “Boom, Boom, Pow” performed by The Black Eyed Peas and edits it to a variety of anime.  The clips are smoothly edited together and potakun has matched up lyrics of the song with some of the characters speaking actions within the clips.  The sink is pretty good and makes the video funner to watch when the characters appear as if they are singing the song.  Great job potakun  you can find the AMV on YouTube under “Boom, Boom, Boom! AMV (Boom Boom Pow – Blackeyed Peas)” or you can check it out here:
