Alright so for the past four years I've always been fascinated with AMVs. I really enjoy watching the ones with those sick special effects and good masking. It really inspires me to make my own amv like that. But when it comes to it, I just can't seem to get it right. The main problem I have is that I can sit there and picture in my head the story, scenes from the anime and how the effects would work. "Zooms here, pans out, grundge effect there, masks there, etc." The problem is that when I sit down and open up my editing software I just go, "What the fuck am I doing?" It's like I can't do anything at all. The scenes I saw would fit but I wouldn't know how to incorporate them correctly and I can't get the effects to look and do as I want them to. And a year ago I had a pretty bad computer and it editing was a pain. I would tell myself, "Once I get a better pc I will start attempting amvs again." So here I am again, now with a new computer I still have the same problems. I just sit there, attempt to get the scenes right and do the effects I want to do but it just doesn't work out. Then I proceed to exit the program.
It really frustrates me because I can see it all in my head but I can't get it down on paper.
How do you guys do it?
