    Every week, I scour the video portal's latest submissions and pick my top five favorites. Just because you don't make it into the top five does not mean that you're video wasn't good. We just have so many good videos that they're hard to choose from!

    I'm getting questions often about the use of Final Fantasy in the Top 5, so I thought it was about to explain why here. FF has always been allowed in the User Portal, but after a few weeks of doing the Top 5 I was noticing some really good videos that deserved attention but they weren't originally allowed. This Top 5 is here to get editors noticed and appreciated for their efforts. With Final Fantasy being popular in the community it was only far to add it in to allow others more of a chance and variety. Sorry if some of you don't like it when we have FF but I don't want the Top 5 to be so narrow-minded. Thank you. And now for the Top 5.

    Song: Apologize by One Republic
    A very well made video. I had a hard time again picking between the the top few again, but I picked this one because it had the best display of emotion. The use of voices worked, though it clashed with the actual singing of the song which wasn't all that great. But beyond that good work.

    Song: The Cell Block Tango by Chicago OST

    This video was quite original. I generally enjoyed it. The video had good flow and timing. Great work.

    Song: One Life One by Chuckie Akenz

    This video was good, timing was good, though I felt your use of timing didn't fit some of the video. But generally it was well made. Well done.

    Song: Monster by Matchbook Romance

    This had a good story, and was an original concept, things just worked.

    Song: Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

    Good syncing the lyrics, this was a very good WMM video. Well done.

    Unforuntely no special mentions this week. Hope you enjoy them all, and keep submitting! Maybe your video will show up here next time!

    I personally didn't like any of the Top 5 this week.

    I'm pretty tough when it comes to stuff like this. -.-

    oh, that's good to hear. Nonetheless being under the 'top 10' is also honorable to me ^^
    Which makes me think -- How can a video get into the special mentions list? How 'special' does the AMV has to be in your opinion?

    Something original that I thought wasn't quite good enough for the Top 5 but deserves attention because of it's orginiality. Or someone has made a very good beta/preview which deserves attention.

    And sometimes if the week had so many good entries I would make the Special Mentions 2 videos just which just missed out.

    Just the thing I want to see. =D

    Some people are discouraged by not making it and then give up. But for some it gives them inspiration and motivation to better themselves as an editor.

    yaya! let's do it! LOLZ

    so true. i look back at some of my first videos and i see how far i've come since then. i think to myself, "how much better am i going to be a year from now?" you can never stop getting better. i think many AMV makers need to be encouraged because everyone has room for growth, but they can't get better if they don't try.
