I agree to a point Roph.
there is a -minimal- amount of skill involved
I'm sure you've seen AMV that suck and AMV that are good
the difference is how well they work with the song, or if the editing is good
the only "skill" involved is being able to synch things to the music, keep the clips matching the feel of the music, and purely being able to tell how esthetically pleasing the thing is
so...yeah, I emphasize minimal
I actually animate things in Flash so yeah, I do know the difference >.>
