I know very loosely one or two AMV (Animated Music Video) artists. Generally they use anime or cartoons to compile or illustrate a point or theme.
Video #1
Anime: Bleach
Music: Three Days Grace - Animal I've Become
Concept: Alright, I know this song is over-used as it is but the lyrics fit the hollow transformation of Ichigo. I even successfully bounced this idea off a few of these AMV'ers but they didn't have the interest or time to devote to a project not of their origins (even for shared credit, go figure). Basically ONLY focus in on his transformations. There are three set repeats of the chorus: 1 for during the fight with Byukuya in Soul Society; 2 versus Koga the Bount; and 3 a rehashment of the Ichigo vs. H-Ichigo battles both within his soul and his hollowfication in the real world.
Video #2
Anime: Bleach
Music: Skillet - Falling Inside The Black
Concept: I'm not one to take sides in most of these shipper battles. I like them to be left open for the stories to develop and dictate the results as the artist(s) see fit. Not that I don't root for my favorites, but as some storylines go, their outcomes can influence choices and decisions. This one the lyrics really spoke to me from a standpoint of Orihime witnessing Ichigo's Vaizard mask and the fear, confusion, and angst her eyes very successfully express in the anime. The storyline is still ongoing, so there will be more to pull from as the Heuco Mundo arc concludes.

Idea: Horoscope Amalgamations
For those of you who can't seem to guess, let me break it down for you. I post SOME of my ideas on here. Of course anything I'm excited about and really think that it's uber-creative or orignal will not be posted here until I am satisfied with it. That won't stop me from still occassionally posting ideas. [When I get around to acting on them is another story entirely.]
Anyway this one's not a big one. I have a relative, distant mind you, who is deeply involved in numerology, astrology, etc. Anyway, she was blathering on this time about the planets and signs and trying to back it up with circumstancial historical context from different corners of the world when this little idea snuck up on me.
Take multiple zodiacs, believe me there are not that just the 2 everyone knows of (Roman, Chinese), and compbine the creatures of particular design. For example, I'm was born in early December. Meaning that on the Roman horoscope I am a Sagittarius, but on the Chinese calendar I'm a boar (before you jump in with jokes, that's a wild hog). So one possible permutation could be a centaur except with the body of a boar.

Idea: Hulking Peep
So I have a few friends on myspace. Some of them occassionally send me or post interesting videos, pictures and the what not. You know, the normal everyday spam of social networks. Not that it's annoying, when used in moderation I enjoy it, but some of them are forever burned into the insides of your retina and haunt you even today when you're alone in your room, late at night...
ANYWAY... One such picture was sent to me around Easter time. It was a link to a youtube video of a microwaved peep. Call me what you will, but I've never cared for the little guys. They're cutish I guess, but the colored sugar marshmallows never held a place in my Easters, and almost as rare in my stomach (maybe 3 in my lifetime). Getting back to the video, the peeps grew and expanded keeping a very bloated and rough definition of it's original form. So the idea is this: Green humanoid shaped one, swelling to the Hulk.
Ok, so the build up was more than the idea, but I'm reaching here folks. Expect a hiatus coming as I am moving around the first.
**UPDATE** (7/15/2008)
Per a friend's recommendation, the last frame could be the Hulk deflating from the air pressure within the marshmallow. Not sure, but something to toy with.

Idea: Death Note + McDonalds
Well I finally broke down and watched the Death Note series this past week or so. Very dark. I liked the live adaptation better I think, just because of the repetativeness of Kira's tactics in the second half of the anime. Anyway, I get done with that a decide to relax and watch some TV. When what should I see but a new McDonalds ad with a very different and yet similar flying clown, Ronald, flying through the air tossing apples at kids. So what would Ronald as Ryuk look like? Hmmm... this one sounds interesting.
