I do this hobby because it's fun. I make AMVs when I enjoy it, and I stop when it wears me out, frustrates me, or bores me. Then I'll probably pick it up again and keep going.
The logical extension of that is that I should accept what criticism I want.

...and get sorely dissapointed. At that point, I'll probably leave a comment/opinion and move on to continue my search for a good video. I find another link, no opinions (unannounced most likely), and go in to check it out.

I don't know about you, but I had this really strange dream involving some rather fantastic and magical creatures... erm, yeah.
I do NOT take anime I like and try and put it to my favorite music. That NEVER works! People may enjoy doing it, but it makes for a video that only the person who MADE it can love, or at least that person and a few others.
gosh I hope not... I hope nobody has to resort to file-sharing any more, I enjoy many videos from the offending few and you, I just want to understand how somebody could be so SELFISH and uninterested in comments toward how they can improve.

Our main character has just made a BAD doujinshi that didn't sell one copy! He had made a good one before, but the second one stunk and it was seen by the sales. He was trying to figure out what he was doing wrong, and eventually decides to give up on doujinshi. But what he didn't know was that he had made a fan during his time making doujinshi, and she was VERY eager to see his next work, even AFTER his bad doujinshi! She wanted to see him improve and continue doing what he did! He then decides to continue doing doujinshi for the fans, no matter how many or how few, and believes that in doing this, he can better himself at the doujinshi making!
Totally agree! In fact I both hate akira and the song I used, castle on the cloud. I think it's a very mediocre song that's fun to listen to once but not good unless put with a video (much like many OST songs... imo, not many can really stand alone and wouldn't get a second glance if not for the moment). But putting the two together is one of the best things I'd ever done. It felt like I was watching Les Mis in the theatre except animated (to nameless anime... whatever).
And again we get to: ORIGINALITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IF THE COMPONENTS OR IDEA ARE USED OR NOT!! How could it?? Do you keep track of every obscure, unreleased amv or even unfinished projects??
No, it all depends on the Idea and how well it's conveyed.
what makes a "good" edtor, "good"? the video quality of their footage? nah... its the editing... and that can't be taught. you can show someone how to make a cut and manipulate a scene. but it's the editors own expereinces editing which makes them "good".
i could care less if you liked it. i like it, and thats what matters to me.
those who visit this site are "users" and are expected to be as such. you/we have no say in what or how this site is run. we can suggest things, but it's ultimatly up to phade.
or even better, stop downloading the "bad" ones! no one will care either way.

nononono! Why does everyone think of this as good or bad? I'm not looking for what I'd call just good music or anything! I keep to the facts. I'm talking about the fact that most of what is available is from some obscure band from the boondocks! Not that I hate obscure bands. I'd just appreciate some videos to popular bands that I can relate with every so often. It bugs me that most likeley if I for some reason want a Linkin Park or even Metallica, Guns 'N' Roses or QUEEN video most likeley I will get a crap one NOT because Linkin Park songs stink but because 'good' creators tend to ignore their songs ALL TOGETHER! I would KILL to see another Romantic 'Crawling' video by Linkin Park.
OtakuMan22 wrote: But the thing that bugs me from Trythil is that it's not "vic bashing" that he's ignoring. He comes off as soundling like he's ignoring EVERYTHING OTHER PEOPLES SAY, GOOD OR BAD! For example, if you made a video that you thought was good, but someone thought it could use some improvement (as in they see your idea or point, but have some suggestions for key scenes or parts) and then posted some constructive criticism, would you ignore it just because it's criticism alone?

only download videos the "good" editors say are goodof course, i don't have <b>the time</b> nor the will to watch amvs all the time, so it's perfect for me.
