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.

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?

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*
