I was shocked after searching to find this thread didnt already exist! I've been trying to find the perfect term which encompasses my favourite of youtube feats, mixing someones favourite tune with their favourite film / tv show / anime, but have come up blank. Obviously AMV (Anime Music Video) encompasses a portion of this, but not all.
So here I am, I'm hoping people here will share all their favourite gems from the world of youtube showcasing their most loved mix of film and tune. These can be any mix of video done to music, or something along those lines. All I ask is to not post the original music video produced by the artists!
To get us started, heres a particularly good one I found a while back:


Personally I've never played any Final Fantasy but I thought this video was done well.

Also how do you embed videos on here lol the standard code doesn't work!

I think people are missing the point of the thread :) Not that contributions aren't welcome! The point was for non original fan made works based on tv / anime / film, put to an artists music! A custom music video!
 
Nah theres plenty of videos out there which are non AMV, just the majority are anime. Tbh I'd love to see a lot more non anime music vids, thats the point of this. There doesnt seam to be a common term to search for when finding them. Heres another:

 
They adhere to the AMV philosophy though. And AMVs suck. It's like saying the director sucks, I can do a better job and then stick a load of random and cliched clips from an anime to music. The only way to not make it suck as much as others is to make sure the clips are shown relating to the particular lyric being sung at the time. Not that that matters anyway because no matter what you do you'll end up with just another video of a horribly misunderstood individual (real or anime) that can't get the boy/girl and the "director" does their damnedest to reinforce this by using lots of dramatic clips between the lead and the target of their interest.

Someone just pointed out that is exactly whats in your Evanescence video (and I didn't even watch it until I'd made the comment as I knew exactly what it was going to be). And your Snow Patrol video (and the same for this). And probably every other video you intended to post. It's been done. To death. By a million and one angsty individuals before you. Probably more on youtube.

Edit: The only way it could possibly be worse than a horribly generic and cliched mashing together of clips of dramatically intense love interests who can't bring themselves to say the words to each other, is the kids that haven't figured out how to mash clips together and so instead make a picture slide show of sunsets, hands held in the heart shape and kittens hugging balls of string.

Music has been done to death, do you never listen to any? Films and TV have been done to death. Do you elave the tv off? Sunlight? my god thats been done to death for billions of years. Do you sit in a darkened room with the curtains closed? Breathing?! My god thats been done since birth by everyone ever. Such an old concept. Lets hold our breathe shall we?
just because someone has been done before doesnt mean its bad or cant be done in a new way.

More importantly. Just because you dont like something doesnt mean you have to stand there preaching about it. If I dont like a person I dont go out of my way to stand outside their house telling them why.

Unfortunately, there is no new way of mashing together clips from an anime or TV show to music. That's why people like Cunningham are making ground breaking videos that are displayed in art galleries and AMV makers are sitting in their bedrooms in the dark with the curtains closed, breathing and sticking together generic and cliched clips to music. There's no original thought. Only the mashup. And it's not even like they're video artists. People who DO do mashups for live performances.

It's a public forum. If I don't like something, I'm going to sing it from the rooftops. This is not a case of "stop liking what I don't like", but me pointing out everything that is wrong with the AMV and "fan made" scene.

Ground breaking or interesting they certainly are not.
