Not saying we'll all go that route, not saying we all came from that route, just the majority of us... AFAIK.


Actually, I think such people are in a minority here- Out of the many editors I know, only a handful either currently, are studying to, or aspire to work in some form of media. From what I've seen, the majority of us just do it as a hobby. Many of us do tend to be more technically oriented though, as evidenced by the fairly high percentage of Computer Science & Engineering majors involved in the hobby.

People, chill about the "kid" thing. "Kid" is a moving target; to some people over 30, anyone under 30 is a "kid." It often means "young person," not "child." I get comments at work about being too young to remember or know about blah blah blah (which I usually DO know about, thank you), and I'm old enough to be your mom.

Interesting.

My mom will be turning 69 in January, so I'm pretty sure you AREN'T old enough to be my mom. :o But yeah, a surprising number of creators are not even college age anymore, although I think the vast majority are in that 19-23 age bracket, with some talented high schoolers filling in the lower ranks. Ah, free time, I miss it so...

LOL... to me "kid" is all the 14-17 yearolds on this site... and a good number of the 20-22 yearolds... lol.. and its weird when someone calls me a kid but its nice to hear once in a while mostly because I get sick of the REAL kids calling me old.. wtf is up with that? hahaha

anyways, generized statements are all over this thread... lol...

I find it more ammusing that they (as in media of any kind that mentions AMVs) keep talking about how creative we are :P I cant tell if they say it like its a good or bad thing lol

Kinda like how I call 17 year olds old, 15 year olds young, and people 6 foot 3 short.

Hmmm....So they call us creative but then tells us what we are doing is illgeal....Don'tcha just love Backhanded compliments. Honestly they are just jealouse. As for me I'm 17 and consider myself still a child...as for the editting thing. I do amvs on my own time at home but comics and writing is were my heart lies.

It's not a backhand comment. He's implying that AMVs shouldn't be illegal.

*Listens to program*

Here's the central theme: They believe that too many laws encourage crime. In this case, they're saying that all these regulations saying "Don't use our footage to make your videos!" are causing us to say "Screw it, we're doing it anyway." We're being forced into illegal actions by overly restrictive laws. If this is true, then it's the laws, not our behavior that is at fault.

The quote I found interesting - 23:59-24:14 : "When Napster was at it's most popular, CD sales were on the rise, and when Napster was cut off those sales dropped like a rocket...part of it was because when you were on Napster you would go to someone else's library and see a whole bunch of other cool stuff...that you didn't KNOW about!" The same is true for AMVs - we're giving very obscure animes much needed exposure, at no cost to their creators. That economic effect is being ignored.

What economic effect? If they're really so good, why hasn't anyone heard of them?

Poor advertising? Though really I can't think of many obscure titles that have gotten a lot of exposure through AMVs. Except maybe <i>The Place Promised In Our Early Days</i>, but I'm sure someone will tell me that either the movie isn't obscure or it hasn't had a lot of AMV exposure. It's just the impression that I get.
