You're right, art depends on the viewer. But ability should never matter when it comes right down to it.
I mean like, a work of art~ It supposed to be good or meaningful, I mean a kiddie drawing is like art but it isn't ART. I don't believe a drawing is a work of art if there is no thought behind it and it's not meaningful or correct. Sure you could argue AMVs have thought behind it but really all it is is sticking clips together in the right places. Anyone can do an AMV, but art is something special and unique to that person. They require ZERO talent or creative process, to be honest. Video editing and media is a different story - you have to think about camera angles, lighting, dialogue - AMVs don't require much of your own work. Film editing is also different because cutting in a film is crucial, in an AMV it's not. Just like someone said - it's like a collage. A collage to me isn't art, it's a collection of ideas that aren't yours.
