Screen Squinty's Top 5 DC Animation AMV's

Here is my top 5 list of favorite fanmade amv’s using DC Animation Content from either the feature films, shorts, or TV shows found on youtube (in no particular order).

I also apologize ahead of time as some of the titles couldn't be found using blogspot's connection to youtube, so I included links.
 

1. "DC Comics Heroes AMV” – By Poture Bhabesh.



This creator did an excellent job utilizing content from the DC Showcase Cinema Animation shorts, with a decent balance of appearances Between Green Arrow, Catwomen, Specter, Shazam, and Jonah Hex.

There was some excellent uses of timing, particularly in the beginning, and the choice of “War of Change” by Thousand Foot Crunch works well with many of the personalities displayed, particularly Specter, Jonah Hex and Catwomen.

2. “DC AMV”- By Parasitic Music Videos.

To view, go here

This had a good focus on the more violent aspects that was inherent in both the feature animated films and the television shows, which was highlighted well by the choice of “Painkiller” by Three Days Grace.

The variety of focus was also a visual treat guessing game, particularly for those who have enjoyed both the movie and television franchises over the decades.

 3."tribute Joker Smooth Criminal Micheal Jackson, L’indiscret Joker amv”-by Tonnerdark.



While the color changing can come across as unnecessary, there is just something about the idea of the Joker singing “Are you ok Annie?” over and over again, something i can seriously see him do. The creator also used the more comical beaver toothed Joker from The Batman series, which was a good choice to accent the comedy of the amv.

 4."Harley Quinn-Hit and Run AMV”- by Nemesis of Cupid.

 To View, go here2.

This was a tightly put together AMV tribute to the Suicide Squad animated version of Harley Quinn with the use of LOLO’s “Hit and Run” to round out the fun of the character, something that we will all get to enjoy (Hopefully) with the release of Suicide Squad, the feature film version of Assault on Arkham.

5. “Justice League Flashpoint AMV”- by PinkKttsyan340.

 To view, go here3.

What makes this AMV good is not so much any particular theme or character given emphasis, but more along the lines of taking the finest qualities of the source material, Justice League Flash Point, and highlights some of the best visuals, brutality, and tragedy that was part of the film.

“Forsaken” By Within Temptation has a music style that very adequately highlights the style of the animated feature and it was utilized well here with some good editing.

List posted at my main site.

Screen Squinty's Top Favorite Animation AMV's (or Equivelent).

In this section I will list out a selection of my top favorite AMV's based on animated shows and films or characters that have since been animated, and shows with strong animated elements that are listed in no particular order.

 

So Close (Rose & Pearl) ✫ Steven Universe AMV



I particularly enjoyed this one created by PurviewProductions for it's wonderful depiction of Rose and Pearl from the television show Steven Universe, one of my favorite Romances from television (one that should be given a bit more screen time in my opinion, but that's a personal opinion).

The Musical choice of "So Close" from the Enchanted soundtrack was a great choice, nothing to poppy, but very well suited for the content being depicted.

  

AMV - [MEP] Anime's Got Talent


 This is an amv that was pure fun both to watch, listen to, and in concept.

The editor did a fantastic job of utilizing various sources to create a sort of Got Talent reality show parody using various characters. I think my laugh of amusement was particularly loud when Vegta leaped on stage.

The creator did a good job of creating a coherent, smooth presentation that worked seamlessly well, and the music was perfectly chosen for the visuals and concept.

 

 「AMV」Anime Mix- Murder Melody



This AMV caught my attention not to long ago, and was glad it did. 

This AmV took a variety of images from different animes and combined it with just the right song to create a nice little macabre number that highlights some of the fun yet darker themes and images strewn out the popular animated medium.

 

One Piece AMV- Get Up.


This one is purely instrumental, but what is so enjoyable about it is the great imagery and editing choices from One Piece from finish to end with some great cinematic epic style music. You get not only a good sense of a story line here, which is something not always done in AMV's, but you get a sense of the emotion and connection that was part and partial of the cannon. This was a nice homage to the source material.

FARSCAPE - The Wonders I've Seen

 


The editor of this AMV did an amazing job in capturing the pure visual splendor that was this show, emphasizing the computer animation, animatronics, make-up artistry and puppet animation that made up Farscape.

I wasn't able to post the video here through the youtube selector, so click this link here, its well worth the watch, promise.

 

Steven Universe MV: Finale (Madeon) 


This AMV was created by mkatwood, based again on the Steven Universe content, highlighted more the action unique/quirky visuals that the show was known for as  well as the emotional connections. 

The  editing was very tight in this one, attention to transitions and the timing with particular attention to timing in relation to the lyrics and pace of the song, which was "Finale" by Madeon.

 

 Team Gargoyles ( Teen Titans ) Fan Made Intro


This was a fun little fanmade intro that did a decent job combining Gargoyles with the Teen Titan intro.

the editor kept in mind the style of image presentation from Teen Titans, and did a decent job applying it to the Gargoyles imagery, everything was well timed with the intro lyrics, and an overall fun little number.

 

How Far We've Come - Gravity Falls AMV



This AMV did a good job at capturing the essence of the show Gravity Falls, by capturing some of the overarching narrative's darker themes with the humor and light heartedness as well as the weirdness that was this show. This was a nice homage to the end of a great show.

 

Bitter and Sick ✨Rick and Morty AMV



This AMV, while not exactly catching the humor of the source material, did do a good job in accenting the sort of tired nihilism that ran throughout the show, and chose a decent song to combine with the imagery to portray the overall concept quite well.

 

Miles Morales - This song saved my life



While this isn't technically from an animation, Miles Moralies was in an episode or two of the latest TV series incarnation of Spiderman, so it sort of counts.

What made this one in particular stand out was the good use of comic book images combined with the emotion of the song. It felt like a really good introduction into Miles, and his motivations as the new spider man.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my personal favorites, comment and let me know what your favorite amv's are.
