Fin.
The subject that our team (team31) analyzed throughout the course of the previous semester was AMVs (anime music videos). We knew that it was a controversial theme that many don’t know a lot about. That’s why we tried to keep a balance between the technical information, the historical references and the analysis we did on videos and events. It is easy when someone is not familiar with the work behind an AMV or even with its raw material, anime , to overlook or minimize the value of a video. That’s why we wanted to explain the process and the effort behind them. Even though, AMVs nowadays are starting to gain more popularity and more people are searching and write books about them, it was still hard to do a deeper research on some particular events due to limited information on the internet. We often had to translate Russian text and other languages and sometimes we had to personally contact a person to ask and confirm events that occurred to them. We wanted to integrate AMVs to digital art culture and showcase them as a hybrid art. While we were analyzing, commenting and broke down videos, we had the chance to learn about and examine many forms of art, such as montage, compositing, etc. We also saw many kinds of movements and as a result we researched for each art specifically and paralleled it with AMVs, pointing out the similarities, differences and how they are applied to AMVs. In our attempt to analyze our subject from many different viewpoints, we discussed and we philosophized about ethics, the meaning and what makes something art and other important issues. We hope that we kept it easy for someone to read and keep up and that you will have fun going though our blog and perhaps learn something new as we did.
