Biography:
Kris "Phade" McCormic is the creator of AnimeMusicVideos.org, one of the earliest and most influential websites dedicated to anime music videos (AMVs). AMVs are fan-made videos that combine anime footage with music to create a new, transformative work. Inspired by this unique art form, Phade founded AnimeMusicVideos.org as a place where AMV creators and fans could connect, share their work, and support one another.
The goal of AnimeMusicVideos.org is to provide a central hub for AMV creators to showcase, discuss, and refine their videos. The site has offered tutorials, resources, discussion forums, and hosted AMV contests for over 25 years. More than just an archive, the site helped shape the AMV community while playing a key role in legitimizing AMVs as an artform and inspiring countless creators around the world.
