AMV Hell: Difference between revisions

While the first season of AMV Minis was being released, the next full feature - ''AMV Hell 5: Dedicated to Dio'' (dedicated both to Ronnie James Dio as well as an AMV creator whose works had graced previous AMV Hells) was developed alongside it. Co-creator SSGWNBTD began accepting submissions to in September 2009, and on July 30 2010, ''AMV Hell 5'' (partially) premiered at Otakon 2010. It was shown to be almost complete, only missing an opening and closing. It premiered in full at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2010 on September 17, 2010, and is now available to download from the AMV Hell website or watch on [[YouTube]].

 

 

The series has had a considerable influence over AMV making - imitators who were inspired by the "multiple-short-AMV-clips" style have been described as making their videos in "AMV Hell style." In essence, the page-topping quote became a reality.

 

* [[Actor Allusion]]: As a nod to the dub cast of ''[[Ponyo]]'', one clip in ''AMV Hell 5'' features [[Liam Neeson|Ponyo's father]] quoting the [[Badass Boast]] from ''[[Taken (film)|Taken]]''.

* [[Affectionate Parody]] - ''AMV Hell 2'' contains a parody of the "Evangelion Opus" [[Fan Vid|AMV]]; ''AMV Hell 3'' contains parodies of the "Danger: Low Brow Humor", "Euphoria", and "Shounen Bushidou" [[Fan Vid|AMVs]]. For good measure, ''AMV Hell 0'' does a second parody of "Euphoria" (mixing ''[[RahXephon]]'' with Mindless Self Indulgance's "Faggot").

* [[Running Gag]] - ''AMV Hell 2'' had one spoofing the the long shot of EVA-01 grasping Kaworu from [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]; ''AMV Hell 3'' has a series of variations of the "Ellen Fleiss" parody segment from ''AMV Hell 1''. In a case of either a [[Running Gag]] or everyone going to the same well <ref>This troper, one of the contributors to this set of clips, says "going to the same well"</ref>, ''AMV Hell 5'' seems to use clips set to "[[Robot Unicorn Attack|Always]]."

** The [http://www.amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvhell3 credits] for ''AMV Hell 3'' refer to them as "[[Azumanga Daioh|Osaka]] Cutaways".

** A [[Visual Pun|visual example]] is found in the [http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/celebrity_and_showbiz/watch/v6330212H2dfz9ry deleted scenes] from ''AMV Hell 3'' beginning at the 7:24 mark.

** ''AMV Hell 5'' also features about three clips set to "[[Beyoncé|Halo]]".
