Hi. I'm looking for VIDDING videos which can be represented as example of excellent work in this genre. Not just good, or very good, ONLY exellent. Something on the level of Engel, Euphoria, Spoil, AMV Hell, Magic Pad etc for AMV community. Link on youtube or direct download will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. Already knew Silent Burn.

You've gotten some good suggestions already, but also there's Ecstatic Drum Trip by Luminosity -- can be found under the multiverse category on her site.

Going blank right now on other suggestions -- might be back later!

Very subjected question, and this is a on the spot short-list but IMO each of these vids-my personal favs are wonderful examples of the vidder’s talent and excellence. Technicality with special effects, transitions, clip choices, cuts, visually glorious, with a sharp clear story being told. Each vid is different and for me memorable long after they’re played.

Hmmm... just thought I'd point out that most of the AMVs you've picked are better known for their technical achievements - Engel's lipsynching, Euphoria's and Spoil's effects, and so on. What's your criteria for excellent here?

[obrut-mra.livejournal.com]

Magic Pad - scene selection, camera movement, many sources put together as whole. No-effects except color correction.
Engel - excellent character profile, is known for inovative lypsynching for year 1999. For current time lypsync is weak.
AMV Hell - good known comedy
Spoil (2007), Euphoria (2004) - innovative effects for release time

I mentioned these videos because they have big impact on videos released after them. And all of these videos started many discussions between clipmakers. So I wanted to know is there any videos which have the same impact on vidding community.

I can point on more interesting videos, but they're not so known:
Reflections - cross-over, own story
Whisper of the beast - alternative story
Alternate Eva Opening: Eva Bebop - other video style
Ordained From Above - parody
Conspiracy of Law - symbolism , creative syncing
Shounen Bushidou - masking
Accidentally in Love - mix (anime - manga)
The Wonders At Your Feet, any japan M@D - animation of still pictures

The list can be easily extended on 100 or more videos.

Signed, the Doctor (http://community.livejournal.com/sync_slaying/12545.html)

The ones that tend to stay with me the most are usually quite innovative and really take the source in a new direction, but it's really one of those extremely subjective things. *shrug*
