I'll trade you first vids! we'll both say they suck but... we'll still love 'em ;-p lol a good idea never goes bad.


I'd say sure, but the only IM program listed under your post is MSN - I don't do MSN. :P (Note that even though I have the MSN logo under my name, the screen name listed for me is "MSNSUCKS" :P )

Now (one of several current projects): Red Nex - Cotton Eye Joe to Goldenboy. Ok, so not much has changed.


you heard the hamster dance cotton eye joe remix? ;p but I dun know if I could do a vid to that, too repetitive.

I've actually stayed at the exact same spot I started at. However I have spun around a few times. I get dizzy, fall down. Get back up again, and spin around some more...

I have learned that I have most of the a-m-v.org banners memorized.

Based on my last one, I've improved a hell'uv alot in such a short period of time, and with only 6 videos under my belt.

But to fully gage my skills, I'll let you know after my next two.

Damnit Rubyeye, get to work! I don't want to see you post here until you've got at least one more video to show for it. And it has to be as good as, or better than, Shellshock and Rage of Sanjiyan. :wink:

As for myself, I haven't quite finished my first vid. I'm using Apocalyptica because they're fun to work with. And I can tell I'm getting better because I no longer make myself gag at the stunts I try and pull off. All have failed and have been replaced by something I could do. Or maybe I'm getting used to suckage. :? But I pick up new techniques as I go along. From what I've seen, most improvement comes within the first video or two. The rest is just fine-tuning and experimenting what you've tried before but better.

If anything, I've learned that it's good for me to be excessively meticulous.

My best bet would be to get my "Shadows of a Dog Demon" vid and my "Moonlight Vengeance" video online...

Have you maniacs view them side by side [they use the same song no less]

and THEN you tell me how it went ^_^

Wee. My turn. Unfortunetly it isn't spam. (darn!)


My quailty has gotten better. My ideas have gotten worse. Bad me!


As if anyone actually watches my vids anyway ;)

and fi they do, they only do it for the anime, not the idea. . .

. . . . Well, maybe except for "Pills".

Well I just finished like my third video. Already I can see improvement. I'm learning allot and by doing more vids I see myself devolping as an artist. I'm still not that good though. I have a ways to go.
