Gameplay AMVs

[Ikeness]

I would guess that making a good AMV from video footage of a video game's gameplay would be really difficult. This is why you don't see it that much.

It's gotta be next to impossible for a game like Megaman. Megaman is not the most "animated" sprite. His movements are a bit slow and diliberate. But for a game like Kingdom Hearts II, it should be cake.

Still, I have not seen many AMVs featuring gameplay from either Megaman nor Kingdom Hearts.

The best that I've seen for megaman is that "Flashman The Game" by NHMK. And that one is freaking good. Although it is really anime with sprites animated on top of it. (Even more work thank a gameplay AMV?)

There were some wierd "Ghost in the Game" videos done on YouTube with megaman and Coheed and Cambria songs (Freaking Coheed! Love em), but the editing was not great on those.

This is an exaple of a decent gameplay AMV using Kingdom Hearts. As you can see, the guy barely had to do much editing. But I think he still did very well.


So, what do you think?
Putting gameplay into an AMV:
Should it be done more? (Has it been done much?)
Is it usually a bad thing?
Is it the most difficult thing that a AMV creator could ever do.. ever?

Those are pretty cool. I like all the tricks they are doing in X4.
X2 had a really good video too.

But that Johan video is ridiculous! He must have broke up every 5 frames or someting. Good choice.

Man... Those are EPIC, this is what i call originality (well, Matt said first). Nice choices X. You know after watching all those GMV, i concluded that Rockman/ Mega Man is actually the hardest game to master in the world. Look at X4 gmv, that's all about skills and control.

Back to topic. Yeah, i love GMV, it's a very creative. You know, music video never has a limit. At first, we all thought it is only slide shows that is consider a MV. But then came along AMV, GMV, and self made digital story telling MV. It's boundless. I would like to do a GMV for a change, but getting the clips are twice as harder than getting anime clips. I wish there is a site to get GMV cutscene clips.
