Creating Original AMV's

[Fall_Child42]

You know when people say you shouldn't or you can't do something?

No. Most people gag and say "why did/would you do that?!"

If you are really dry for that spark, smoke some pot. Change your perception.

Editing AMVs is very similar to just painting with pictures, so drugs really help. I can't physically operate the machinery when I'm stoned, but a lot of great ideas have been born out of smoking pot and listening to music. Just think shit up. I did some of my most insane creative "where the fuck did that come from?! this is brilliant!" work when I was stoned out of my mind on painkillers. Just enough to put your brain in a completely different zip code, but not enough to turn you into a zombie. Perfect.

People edit drunk all the time. I don't know how they do it.

So drugs in DZ stemmed from HypeO. I guess that makes sense.

Listen to music and close your eyes, let your imagination take you to places you never knew and that the world is in your hands (* marijuana in my hands) let the lights on in mosaics of color, umbrellas away with chocolate Space milk rain, and your dog will tell you what to do while your tongue dig!!

Just listen music!

some of my better ideas come from dreams, or states where I'm half awake (either falling asleep, or editing all night), others come from "people would hate me for making this" O.o

the only thing about the whole dreaming thing, is a lot of times what i see in a dream i can't recreate in a video

I get my best ideas in the shower/bath.

Most of my ideas come from weird things the kids say. Of course, half the things they suggest, I can't do yet. I think I don't worry so much about creating an original amv. My main concern is usually "is this something different for me to try?". Of course, lately I don't even care if it's different, I'm just enjoying myself.

My ideas and video conceptuality come from novels mostly. I know that sounds weird [and Kev was like "WHAT THE FUCK" in a previous thread], but it's true. When I read novels, I create versions of the characters that are outside of their characterization or even what the novelist intended. I then connect those characters to anime characters and give said anime characters the personality of the character that I've envisioned in my mind. I then create an AMV around those characters and the environments I wanted. My Little Louise, /dance, and Angels Flying High were all designed using this system. The IC's not so much... But I like this system, and it works for me.

I also find conceptuality in music in a much similar manner, except instead of envisioning characters from books in an entirely different manner, I envision lyrics and the song's beat in a much different manner.
