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”:
