Ha!
Well... everywhere else in the online world I am known as
ShinoMatrix. But why when I was joining the org and the AMVing community did I choose a different name all of a sudden? It was probably because ShinoMatrix was created in the spur of the moment (at the time I put it together, I was starting to become a Narutard and was already a big fan of the Matrix) and after a while, though I'm used to it, I found it to be, well, tacky.
So what did I do? I made a name that says something big. Infinity! But wait, I could make it bigger... Let's square it! Yeah, that was the engineer in me screaming "nerd!"
So yeah, that's my AMVing name... you don't want to know what ShinoMatrix gets around to doing... he's one sexy babe.
As for the studio? Well, it just so happens that in our studio website, I actually wrote up on this... so yeah, enjoy
A History - by Infinity Squared
Our history is rather short, but is actually quite a bit longer from the time this website fully opened. Roughly speaking, the very first instance that the roots of Amvience Studios first took root were post-Manifest 2004.
It was in the Manifest forums that I first knew of the existence of Yues Woman. I was quite taken by her entry "Inu Yasha and Kagome" in the Manifest AMV competition and she was immediately one of those people on the forums I knew I would get along with. It was not till about late November though, quite a few months after Manifest, that I was able to finally meet her in person. I was happy to find out that she was as fun and nice in real life as she was in the forums.
Kadaj was someone I encountered on the Manifest forums as well but it's quite a while later after I met him in real life. The forum topic that I first encountered him in was an argument (spanning 1000 posts and still seemingly not dead to this day) about who was better, Inu Yasha or Itachi Uchiha.
In early December of 2004, I entered Wai-Con's AMV competition. There in their forums after trying desperately to find out who won the competition (Wai-Con is in Perth, hence on the other side of the country from me), I met OropherZero. After realising his passion for AMVs as well and adding him to my MSN Messenger list, the stage was set for something to begin.
Amvience Studios first appeared as an idea back in the Manifest forums once more. After I became the Manifest AMV Coordinator, I realised that the AMV scene could be improved, both in Manifest and around the country. There, with Kadaj, we set about forming something, and took out a suggestion thread of what to call the new studio. Amvience Studios won because of its wit, creativity and originality. After that, Yues Woman and OropherZero jumped in the bandwagon too.
In recent history, the original members of Amvience observed the emergence of a new editor. After winning the Iron Chef AMV competition of Manifest 2005 and creating an undoubtedly exciting effects filled video, we decided to ask BlueTrain to join the team from early 2006.
To celebrate the first year anniversary of the studio, we welcomed Purge into our fold. His trailer video has awed us all and the AMVing world to the point of reaching a runner-up position in the prestigious Viewer's Choice Awards on the org and we just knew we had to have him as part of the team.
Construction began on the site at around late March of 2005 but due to some unforseen delays and life, it wasn't till July that now it finally exist. Currently we have some multi-editor projects cooking up but full details on that are still being ironed out. I hope you enjoyed the read for all its worth. Ask us if you want to know more.
