Well 2011 AMV-wise was a huge let down, and that's putting it lightly. I didn't release a single video this year and the video I really wanted to do fell apart but I think I learned a pretty good lesson from that failure. I guess the only positive is that I was finally able to get my hands on CS5 so...yea. In 2012 I hope to bounce back and in the next few days or so, I'll be starting on another vid. I want to continue to learn the ins and outs of AE,Premiere and Photoshop and try and integrate that stuff into whatever I make and maybe dabble with Painter. I also should try to participate more in the community. I keep saying that every year and I usually just stay in my cave anyway, but maybe this year will be different...

To Ileia:
You're one of the editors who makes me ashamed to even watch my stuff after seeing one of your videos. Keep churning out that good stuff and good luck to you in the Doomsday year.

First AMV:



Last AMV:



Favorite:

At the Moment, my first one because I love School Days and no matter how much I want to change it, I think, for me, its perfect just the way it is. :3

What I learned:
I learned sooooo much from here: Lip-synching (Which I still suck at xP), Concept, Colors, Beat Synch, Flow, Emotional Synch, Aspect Ratio, Containers, masking (My mortal Enemy) and that there are so many AMVs to watch! xD I really love all the AMVs here and I feel very privileged to be here with you guys! :P

AMV Resolution:
I wish to work with After Effects more in my editing rather than just avoid putting After Effects in my AMVs :P
Also, I want to join more competitions so I can has more fun :D Hopefully the Project Org Editor even though I'm probably going to crash and burn

To some of the editors above me:
Spoiler :
***Shin: *_* Everyone has said it, but you are a friggin' machine at making AMVs, I honestly can't believe how you can do it. Keep At It Shin! Also, great idea making this thread! :D
***CodeZTM: Dude, you know I love your AMVs, they're so sick! GTFO is probably one of my most favorite AMVs ever! xD Not to mention, you do so much to make this community feel so much more like a family and that's one of the things I appreciate about you for because you always seem to go that extra mile to make this place feel more like a family. :D
***Nya-Chan: Your AMVs are cute and frilly, so I'm mostly glad you made "Don't Be Afraid to Join" because that AMV makes me super happy on a bad day :P
***Taite: I think that's the dream of many editors is to make something nearly exact as how they imagine it. But, seriously, I hope there's something you'll make that you'll like one day. It'll happen :shark:
***Ileia: Even though everyone enjoys Zomboleo, my favorite for certain is "Where I Am Now". I'm quite glad (and depressed xD) that I went on a tangent about being your rival because I was able to motivate myself to be a much better AMV editor which is a plus because you were able to put up with my crappy attitude and teach me a very valuable lesson about AMV editing. Happy New Years :dino:
***Machina21: Every year is different, so next year, I hope that'll be way better. Have some :beer: It might help you out :P


Mainly this year, I'm very glad that I was talked into making AMVs because I have a lot of fun just talking with you guys :D Not to mention, Making AMVs is much more fun than just showing off all the awesome AMVs everyone else has made. Yet, I still have fun being an AMV DJ (Beside the point). Happy New Years Everyone!!! :D

To all the posters so far a big <3!

CodeZTM: You make the community feel like a community with all your journaling/commenting/critiquing and now interviews/editorials. Keep it up and thanks a bazillion for all the effort.
BasharOfTheAges: Service entry in the Rear made me laugh and you're never afraid to call out anyone who needs calling out. :up: Right now there is a pretty good chance I'll be anime boston for dissecting. lol
ngsilver: podcasts/livestreams are really fun to watch. keep up the good work. :up:
Diegao94: Enjoying the process of editing is always the most important part so props for that. :up:
Chained(E)Studio: I remember watching a[part] and enjoying it a lot and was looking forward to seeing more from you, and enjoyed your parts in the MEPs, but hopefully you can get a complete AMV out sometime in 2012. :)
ReggieSmalls: You make a lot of quality stuff to music that would be quite daunting to a lot of editors. Major :up: for that.
Nya-chan Production: I really liked your Don't be Afraid to Join video, and great job on organizing the JCA stuff. :)
JudgeHolden: Disco Heaven is epic fun and greatly underrated/underappreciated. Keep up the fun.
ZephyrStar: Was fun meeting you at AWA. And while I may not be a brony I still dug the Ponies Anthology.
JaddziaDax: Your videos give off a vibe that you put a lot of heart and enjoyment into them which gives that extra sense of enjoyableness to them. :up:
kireblue: You're really consistent in putting out enjoyable and fun stuff. Really loved Maya and Company.
Taite: Your ability to put together quality stuff in a time frame of 3 hours to a day makes me jealous O:
Kosmit: Your comedy vids are always hilarious. Gutbustingly so! Keep making us all laugh in 2012 :up:
Ileia: Your internal syncing, beat syncing, and scene selection always make me drool. Really dug Where I am Now and Don't Brake. Keep up the creativity and awesomeness.
machina21: Looking forward to seeing a new video after a long hiatus.
lloyd9988: You have a great passion for AMVs and your videos convey that passion you have for them. Keep it up, and keep on making them. :up:

Hope I didn't miss anyone. :)

The majority of my editing was for MEPs, so I'll just post my contributions to those as well ;)

First:
Iron Chef Idol 4 Final Track

Middle:
PONIES The Anthology (my contributions)

Last:
Party Animal (A Tribute to Pinkie Pie)

Favorite:
Party Animal (A Tribute to Pinkie Pie)

What I learned:
*I have done more editing in this last year than I have in any other year.
*Finally learned masking
*Dabbled in making comedy videos for the first time (and loved it XD)
*Seeing audience reactions to your own videos is the most inspiring thing ever XD

Plans for improvement/2012 resolutions:
*Learn to stay more focused and finish my videos sooner
*Learn After Effects
*Learn to properly lip sync
*Complete my two videos still in the works
*Finish my two in-progress videos, Aisling and Mihan
*Go all out on PONIES The Anthology II

People above me:
ShinAMV: You did an awesome job this year! Keep it up!

CodeZTM: Thanks for beta testing for me earlier this year! I promise I'll have more to show soon! ^^;

ngsilver: Thanks for having me on TWIAMVs! I had a great time whenever I was on! Also thanks for spotlighting my Party Animal video at Youmacon!

ReggieSmalls: You da man, Reggie! Seriously, you had a great year for videos! You're an awesome editor and a truly great friend! Thanks for cheering me on when I needed it the most, bud ^^

Nya-Chan: .........uh, hi! :uhoh: *runs away before Nya-Chan sets me on fire again*

JudgeHolden: I always look forward to new videos from you, Judge. All three of your amvs were a blast and totally underrated. I hope you get something at the VCA/JCAs this time. Thanks for all your advice when I was just starting out!

ZephyrStar: Dude, I had a blast working on the Anthology with you and the guys! Thanks so much for all your encouragement and support last summer and also for recording the audience reaction for my video at AWA. It meant a lot to me knowing I had good friends like you cheering me on. Can't wait until we knock Anthology II out of the park! ;)

Jaddziadax: hai! *waves*

Ileia: Thanks for inviting me to be a part of CDVV! You guys are a lot of fun and you all helped me remember how much fun editing is. ^^ Also thanks for your encouragement and support last summer and for the trophy you and Todd made for me at AWA! I love that thing! XD

what I've learned:
1-masking was not the answer.
2-really like to take it slow
3-vegas is enough by now
4-just let the music be the inspiration
5-it's all about the idea
6-UT video codec thanks to the gods!

to improve: absolutely no idea, but I'll definetively work with lipsync! :up: and may I should try to make a serious amv work, none of my amv took more than a week to be complete xD and the one that I really worked harder, end up failing :/ so I need guts to keep interest in a project for a longer time :uhoh:
-and I need to watch more anime.

to all of the editors, love your work and dedication, some of those vids are in my collection and some has just been downloaded, keep it up and enjoy, over all other things, do something you like, forget about what other think or expect, we're not supposed to please anyone but us :up:
SING! Never mind the words!!!
