Yeah I know ink_vids - I posted my Little Mermaid video there just after it was set up by Sarah.
There used to be a lot more discussion of the qualities of certain videos in the amv community but it's something I haven't seen in a very long time. It's become so saturated and obsessed with the artifice of tech that nobody discusses things like this anymore. It's a sorry state of affairs which, when bemoaned, just makes the complainer sound like an old timer missing the golden years.
Anyway, that's something else. I think I'm just trying to articulate that I'm excited about the potential for live action videos to have something to say (or something to express), whereas with amvs right now (and the people making them) I don't see quite the same potential. My reasons are intricate and have a lot of factors but anyway... hooray for inspiring vidding.
