Year 2018 is closing to an end, and once again we propose to celebrate the New Year together! AMVNews invites both AMV creators and viewers to participate in creation of a collective greeting for all AMVNews visitors. Each of you is welcome to make a New Year greeting in any form: a small AMV or any other kind of video, audio message, any kind of art or text greeting, etc. Any type of creation is good as long as it  is within the bound of reason and not beyond the bounds of decency. Don't forget to mention the author's name!

Please send your greetings to Minstrel via PM, letters accepted till December 30th. All your greetings will be published on frontpage in New Year night.

Below you can see how it turned out the years before:

RU: "Остановите планету - я сойду" - альтернативное название клипа. Решил таки поучавствовать на Акроссе наконец, заодно стряхнув пыль со старой задумки.

EN: "Stop the planet - I'll get off" - the alternative name for the clip. Decided to participate in Akross at last and to dust of an old idea while I'm at it.

Клип от группы немецких авторов, сделанный под впечатлением от визита в мейд-кафе Maidreamin в Японии.

Комментарий авторов:
EN: So we made an AMV about Maids .. in Germany.
DE: Die Idee zu midoreamin – maid in germany entstand in einem gemeinsamen Japan Urlaub von ceddic, Cenit, JadeCharm und Zest und wurde dank Unterstützung von Eazy, Lapskaus, Noss, Shirahiko, Shui, Sojiro, Videobeats und WaruKami und unter Koordination von ceddic Wirklichkeit. Der Name geht auf die Maid Midori aus einem Maidreamin Maid Cafe in Osaka zurück. Ein Dankeschön an alle beteiligten, die Maids in allen Formen, Farben und Lebenslagen in dieses Video geworfen haben.

I saw these films some weeks ago and I liked them a lot, I wanted to edits them with an "aggressive" electronic dance song and... who's better than The Prodigy?! :D it was fun for me to edit this song and I hope you enjoy it!

This is my latest AMV. I tried to incorporate everything that I have learned so far editing wise into this AMV. I tried to do a lot of subtle effect that someone who is not very familiar with the source material might not even notice. Effects that appear part of the actual anime. I also tried to convey and highlight the sort of bi-polar, happy-sad, mood of the anime.
