So was it hard for you to come up with your first AMV idea?

This forum is for the general discussion of Anime Music Videos.

Eh, pretty much like Wonka and Beowulf, except that when I make AMVs they're not good :lol:

My brother, returning from his first year of college, showed me "Bitches," and I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. It wasn't until over a year later when I went to college that I got real interested in AMVs. I watched an abundance of shitty Linkinball Z videos and said to myself, "Hell, I can do better than that!" So, I made a Linkinball Z video. And then a Jamiroquai-DBZ one. And so on and so on. Also, somewhere in there I saw Phade's "Material Girl," and found this site. Yay! ^_^

I was into video editing along time ago, way before I saw ay AMV's. Initially I started making AMVs because of a challenge I made to myself. After watching my first amv, MJ's Butterfly wings vid, I decided that I could do much better so I went and borrow my friends entire Gundam Wing set and made the vid (I already had capturing and video editing equitment due to my parents wanting me to grow as a possible next Speilburg). The vid actually came out well but I never got around to posting the vid, someday I will post it for the hell of it all. ^-^

Story time! Story Time!

Story time! Story time! I guess I'll add mine. When I graduated my school put together a sort of Anthology put to our class song. At that time I was only sorta' into Anime. OK I sorta' wasn't... See WAYYYY back in the '80s I HIGHLY enjoyed Jack McKinneys Robotech books only my bro told me that the toons were nothing like the books so there went that. Than in the early 90s I got into Spawn, Wildcats, Xmen and the same time Dragonball, I loved it but still it never hit me as something foreign... Than about a year out of HS I finally got a DVD drive and decided to drop some coin for Robotech. Still it's not really anime but it was my first anime love (I've always highly prefered console rpgs to pc-type rpgs so I've always liked the anime art style just... well it never HIT me!) I than caught one episode of Bebop on Cartoon Network and it FINALLY hit me like a bag of bricks. I was hooked like a crackhore on anime-crack :lol: . Upon seeing 'Cowboy Funk' I got the holy vision of putting it together with Missy and Janet's Son of a Gun. Have no Idea why it's still the only Son of a Gun vid up there... probly cuz I took the idea and nobody else wants to one-up me :P anyway. So thing was I never saw an AMV till I had the idea... coarse after getting the idea I did a bit of research and found this place, my holy grail, and was told to get premier blah-de-blah. So I made it and that's history.

Funny thing is... the school I graduated from is a PRIVATE, christian school ;-p wonder if they knew they were pirating a song (by Micheal W Smith no less ;-p) or if they actually got his copyright. Wonder what editing SW they used :shock: that musta been a real bitch to make as it was like 8 years ago and was actually on beat with transitions (if I remember right).

One day about 1 and a half years ago I haphazardly found Blue Mercury on some site and immediately decided that amv's were the coolest thing ever. Interestingly enough, I had about $1000 laying around from my job and graduation (8th grade ;P) so I ran out and bought a 1337 new Vaio for which to attain the awesomnity that was AMV. I started editing right away under the impression that it would be easy, and ended up spending 6 months on doom9 reading and reading and reading before I got a handle on all the aspects of video editing/encoding. In the mean time I made half of an AMV that I never finished and since I've done some short editing projects, made an amv that I never released, but focused more on encoding becuz, you know, copying those dvds is fun stuff ;]

ohhh, as for ideas, nope not hard at all, I had tons before I got the comp. Of course, somehow, it seems all the good ideas occur before you can actually do them and leave you once you finally get the opportunity :/

not really that hard for me

I am a novice AMV maker, and still learning to make AMVs nifty. I made my first AMV with footage from Dual! Parallel Troubles and Music by the Foo Fighter's New Way Home.

At first it was a pain..but then it grew on me. I had to do it three times to get things right, and I think that one is a pretty good one.

So far I have made 11 AMVs. (Yes I had lots of free time during August) I think my other ones are nice as well, though I can see some minor probelms.

Nope. I watched my share of AMV's and had my ideas all down. I'm also much more freeminded so no idea is a bad idea...there's only medicore ideas.
