I know what you are saying, but as another member said I'm not really using them as my own material but merely like the anime music videos you see on YouTube.

Check out this AMV on Youtube that uses the 80s song Safety Dance and Nichijou anime clips:

Safety Dance AMV - Best Upbeat 2011


If it was illegal to use ANY sort of clips, art, writing, parody, etc. from other sources, over half of the Internet and YouTube wouldn't exist.

Also I didn't specifically ask for ways to get the videos (I can do most of that myself), but more about WHICH movies would be good to check out; which is more or less just asking people what would be good movies to check out. Whether or not I use the material in them for my own use is another matter. Just saying.

If he's just editing them and not publishing them like his own material there's nothing really bad about it... and then there's that "fair use" thing too when using copyrighted material in some contexts.

I think it'd be safest just to rip stuff from dvd:s one owns or youtube and the like if one is concerned about the law.

Yeah, I don't think I will be able to get to many people to see them and if I do manage to do that I will just not try to make any profit from the videos themselves, although I don't know if web traffic/web site contributions count (that is "if" I can get either of the two) as "profit".

Since people can make AMVs without getting into too much trouble, I think making my own kind of AMV won't be too big of a deal. At least I hope.

At any rate I have $0.00 income, near $0.00 net worth, and horrible credit rating. The only thing they could get out of me is my blood and I don't think that is going to happen.

Thanks.

I'll check it, but I'm unsure if those if those specific movies are exactly on theme with the clips I'm trying to do. I will however say that your mindset of the TYPES of clips your talking about is on the mark for what I'm looking for: action, horror, stuff with wtf moments and these can be found in both good movies and some of the B-movies movies that people sometimes don't care about.

To me it is the intense 2-5 second moments, such as the massive battleship/star fight dog fights clips in Star Wars, that are the important parts. The dialog, drama, narrative is merely filler for the exciting parts. I believe if I splice a lot of the intense parts together I can create something..interesting and perhaps even something worth the time and effort for me to do so.

Oh good lord we've seen so many movies that I can't separate them anymore.
