====== AMVs ======
**Anime Music Videos** are an underappreciated medium born of the internet, often viewed as not worth much of anything. However, there are many AMVs that could be considered exceptional, which I offer to share...at some point.\\
Anime Music Videos are, as the name subtly hints at, music videos composed of footage from [[lb:anime]]. These should not be confused with 'animated music videos' where the footage is created with the specific goal of being used in a music video; the footage used in an AMV was never intended to be used in a music video.
===== Recommended AMVs =====
This section will, at some point, include a list of AMVs I recommend.
===== External Links =====
  * [[https://www.animemusicvideos.org/home/home.php|A-M-V.org]]
    * Considered by the community to be the most important site related to AMVs. It includes a database of AMVs, download links, a forum, and a news site. However, it's necessary to pay in order to access some of the download links.
    * The site's design is quite dated, but there is a redesign currently in the works((:fn:>According to themselves.)).
  * [[https://amvnews.ru|AMVNews.ru]]
    * A russian site that is basically like A-M-V.org except mostly in russian. It's possible to browse the site in English however. AMVNews.ru has a better design than A-M-V.org, which makes browsing it more comfortable. It contains a database of AMVs, download links, and a forum, in addition to the news. Unlike A-M-V.org, you don't have to pay to download videos.
  * [[https://www.akross.ru/index.cgi?l=e|AKROSS]]
    * AKROSS is the Association of Russian AMV Creators and they're responsible for organizing the annual AMV contest AKROSSCon. The website is available in English and Russian. They also contain a database of AMVs, but the selection is focused on those that were officially submitted to the contest.
