old thread... heh read it all.. but since i wasnt on the forums a year ago (on the site but not the forums), i suppose i can tell my story..

I BLAME MY FRIEND ERIC.

the whole story is on my profile, but basically as I was getting into anime my friend Eric exposed me to a bunch of AMVs as well... then I downloaded them myself off of file sharing programs, as a means to see what Anime I should look up next.... then in my *caugh* n00bness I thaught I could do the same thing, make an AMV... hahahahaha... I have improved alot, but I am sure that I have a long way to go still...

anywho... I am here now lol. basically I knew about AMVs and the site and everything since oh, maybe around 2001 or so... but I never joined till a year ago (2003) cause uhhh I donno Livejournal was too time consuming, and yea... I dont write as much in el jay anymore.

Haha, my friend also named Eric got me into amvs.

He took clips I made with dbz vhs tapes and my first capture card and starting making AFI videos to them. That inspired me and the rest is history.

When we were searching, we found a video that put lots of SM clips together to the song "Carry On". We both thought it was really cool and watched it a lot, but there weren't any credits or anything so we didn't realize who made it (I still have no clue who did) or how it was made. When KaZaA came out, we were still downloading SM clips and downloaded Blue Mercury by Aluminum Studios. We found it completely awesome, and went to his website and found out about AMVs. From there, we looked for more AMVs on KaZaA and found an FF8 video to Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want". We realized that it's possible to make AMVs using FF8 cutscenes, and researched that (using the org's guides, I believe). We started editing using Pinnacle Studios 7 and downloaded FF scenes. Good times. :roll:

That sounds so much like me 3 years ago. x)

I thought about embellishing the truth, because reality is just so sad.

I was really bored one day and I decided to find out how to use WMM (mistake in retrospect), after a few hours trying to load video clips and even more time trying to export (buggy piece of crap). At the time I thought I was a good video (mistake in retrospect), but I thought there had to be a better way of doing it. Thus, the story continues….

So, in short I stated because I was bored and had nothing else to do. All my subsequent videos are a result of me having nothing else to do as well. Unfortunately my computer died as a result of my boredom, and now I find that I actually want to edit for the sake of editing and a little self expression.

I was searching for regular Music Videos and the search gave me an AMV (although I didn't know that was what it was at the time I downloaded it). If my memory serves me right it was an Armitage III: Dual Matrix (?) video using the song Fear by Disturbed. I've been doing watching and making em ever since.
