[General Discussion] I make tribute videos

It's a bunch of clips of Resident Evil games with music

How is this a tribute

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't really

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Basically, I have never understood the concept of how making a montage of clips from something and setting it to music is a tribute. To me, a tribute is something a lot more involved, like making a game that is a reimagining of the original material, or making a short film.

All that clips from game are to me is "These are clips from the game that I like". No matter how well you edit it it's still just a bunch of random shit put next to each other.

It's the same reason behind how I don't understand AMVs, since they're pretty much the same thing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Then all of Shin's criticisms are still completely valid. I never honestly thought I'd run into one of you people here on GFF. The kind who honestly believe that when they're told by someone on Youtube "You did a fantastic job!!!" that it should be taken at face value.

Dude. Give it up. You've posted multiple times, been told by many people that what you are doing is randomly cutting together clips from something you like and setting them to god awful music, and every time we tell you why it's not what you say it is you change what it is for the next time.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You're one hell of an optimist, I'll give you that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The point I was trying to make (and I made it badly last night) was that if you go around and ask the entire Internet how they like it, you're going to find people who absolutely love whatever you do because they're stupid and think "I like Advent Children, and this video has Advent Children, therefore I like this video!"

You don't see that thought process, you see "awesom vid were did u get the song????"

You seem rather intent to keep on keepin' on (a rare trait around here to not get butt hurt when you crash land on some fraction of the forum that decides to make fun of you) and I respect that. I'm just trying to point out that if you're expecting us to change our tune about those videos, you're going to have to change the videos.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
