There
have been quite a number of DragonBall anime music
videos created in the past. Alright, that's quite an understatement....
there's been a crapload. Lots of them suck, most are average
at best... and then there's that very small group that
not only rise above the rest of the DragonBall
videos, but single themselves out in the entire community
of anime music videos, shouting out, "I don't suck,
and I'm quite good!"
This
is my way of saying "Thank You!" to these people,
and hopefully give them even more exposure than they already
have (not that they even need it :P). I don't have a set
time for rotation of these videos, and if I'll archive them
or not, but we'll see!
NOTE:
Only the most recent videos are available for direct download
from donated server space (it's just too expensive!). ALL
videos are now stored on the www.AnimeMusicVideos.org
"Golden Donut" server space. To download these
videos, you must be a member of the site for at least two
weeks (and logged-in, of course). It's free to sign up,
and only takes a minute. Sign up, and download away! Please
realize that on this page, you'll be clicking a link that
will take you to invidual entry pages; THESE pages will
contain the "Local" download links. Have fun!

What
is there I can say about this video? From the very
moment Scott showed me early betas of it, I knew
it was going to be something special.
I
did as much as I could to help with this video,
be it contributing all of my DVDs and ideas, sitting
and cycling through footage, tossing in some editing
ideas; it's pretty amazing to see the final product.
Scott's responsible for just about all of it, but
it's really cool to see some of my own ideas and
thoughts represented in the final version, as well.
It's
an action video, but it's got drama and humor, and
can be as deep as you want it to be. Every scene
was meticulously chosen for some specific purpose,
and almost nothing is randomly put in there (OK,
except maybe the ending, which is admittedly a little
rushed, but it still concludes the story in a damn
good way). Fans tend to cite this as "... the
best DBZ music video ever." Is it? That's for
you to decide. Regardless of what you may think
about DBZ AMVs coming into it, you're in for a shock
and surprise if you haven't seen this video, yet.

| Wow.
This is something special.
I
first saw this video in the late summer / early
fall of 2002, when the three tapes from the AWA
8 Professional contest were sent back to me.
If
you're in the dark about this, the Pro contest is
a blind peer-reviewed system: all entrants send
in their videos, and are sent back VHS tapes with
all of the submissions without credits, and are
given a few weeks to watch them all a few times,
and nominate several in a wide range of categories.
Soon after this, one video in each category is selected
as the winner, again voted by the entrants. Finally,
at the con (which took place at the end of September),
all of the winning Pro. AMVs were played during
the awards ceremony (THIS is when people found out
they won! Right there!).
Needless
to say, it won "Best Drama" in the professional
contest.
