First AMV you ever saw (if you remember): Blue Mercury (Aluminum Studios)
What do you look for most in an AMV: I look first and formost for effort, and what the creator is trying to show you. I don't really look for how the music fits with the anime, I look at what the creator did with the video/song and their interpertation.
Video quality doesn't always mean *quality*? A good work is in the eyes of the person viewing it. No one will like everything. I also look for if there is a hidden meaning to the video and how well it flows. Everyone is different and that's what makes us unique.
Who(if anyone) inspired to yo create AMV's: Will (Aluminum Studios),
What is your favorite type of AMV: Drama/Artistic
On average how much time do you spend on a single video: 50-100+ hours usually spanned over 1-6 months.
Do you fell that winning awards makes you a *master*: No, there is no such thing as a master, just people who gradualy gain more expirence in the field.
Do you see AMV's as an art form: Yes, I think of them as a way I can express myself in a visual form. I could go really in depth with this, but I won't for the time being.
Does negative feedback cause you to become less inclined to create more videos: No not at all. I will always stand by the fact that I make them for me, and no one else. If others like them that is great ^^ If they don't that's ok as well ^^ Sure people can be harsh with words, but you need to tell your self "Who cares" as long as *you* like it and are happy with it, that's the main point.
Do competitions mean the world to you: Nope. I see them as a way to see my work on the big screen ^^ It's also great to see people reactions, winning is just an added bonus ^^
Well there you have it ^^ A lot of questions but your imput is needed ^^
Thanks in advance to anyone who does this it's a big help to me! ^^
