First AMV you ever saw (if you remember): My own. I seriously thought I was making something completely orginal
What do you look for most in an AMV: Story. A clip show is just pointless. Various videos still must have story a.k.a. a point. Most of them do have a point to get across. That is why I dislike some popular videos that rely on hitting beat hits only. *snore*
Who(if anyone) inspired to yo create AMV's: What is more like it. It was just a creative need I felt when I heard a powerful song and saw a message I needed to communicate. I love that feeling, it's like being hungry for something and not feeling full 'til it's all out of you.
What is your favorite type of AMV: Dramatic
On average how much time do you spend on a single video: At Least 2 months. I also never start another one until I finish my current one no matter HOW much I want to. Doing that will kill the first project and I know it.
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: No. Art cannot be judged on a basis of value. Art isn't good or bad, it is worth what it makes you feel. Saying you like one art piece over another does not make the one you dislike "bad" but in the AMV world.?.people do that all the time.
In another way though, amv making is a personal investment and a creation so it uses an artistic process. The end result will only be viewed "artistic" by me when people stop judging them.
*This is not a secret blow to reviews.?.it's about placing titles like good or bad
Does negative feedback cause you to become less inclined to create more videos: Never. I create them to get a feeling out that yearns to be put into something visual. Having people like it is a great! bonus, but not a requirement. Plus, even though the video is a part of me I don't take negative criticism personally anyway.
Do competitions mean the world to you: I think this is answered by my above statement. I would not even care if I won an award to tell the truth. I just love them being seen. I have been in tons of competitions over my life, lead clubs, won trophies.?.but it's not that, that makes me feel good about amv's. Knowing people like something I made is all I want in the first place.
Hey thanks for putting this up, I had fun filling it out.
