Having read your initial comment and the comments here about AMVs vs. vids, I'm reminded of this vidshow playlist called Live-Action / Anime vidpairs by par_avion that paired a (Western media) live-action vid and an AMV set to the same song. It's an interesting comparative look at the two mediums.
Along that line, it might be interesting to look at the rest of the anime vidshow playlists shown at vividcon since the con's mostly geared toward (Western) media fandom in term of audience and scope?
(Side-note: absolutedestiny is a well-known AMV vidder who has crossed the divide to (media fandom) vidding, I think.)
I think you should link to this post to vidding! The readers there should have more links and thoughts on AMVs vs. vids!
