Back in Business... AMV season is coming?

Postby OtakuForLife » Wed Mar 18, 2009 4:36 pm

Is there such a thing as AMV sessions?
I would tend to think so.. They ramp up mostly in the summer months
it seems all the older editors climb out from a mountain of work
and try to make something by con session. I don't know what
do you guys think?

Do you mean seasons?

Session may not be totally wrong, but it sounds more like a jamming session where AMV creators come around in some crowded bar and do improvised editing :P

Anyway, yeah, I do feel that around the VCA time, there really aren't too many big projects being released. I know I deliberately try not to release anything too big during this time as I feel that things released this time of the year tend to be forgotten much more quickly (just my general impression, definitely not stating a fact here).

I say it'll be more towards the second half of the year that we really see the more exciting things.

Everything good usually comes out in the summer.

Well, I only really edit in the Winter/Spring and release at cons in the Spring/Summer, so for me it's a definite yes.

I release whenever I finish my video. If it's good enough, it'll be remembered. And if not, so what?

So what? How can you be a celeb around the org and worshiped by all the noobs and rake in awards if you don't play the system? Why releasing when you're finishing and not worrying about popularity or cons or anything, that's downright sick. Get off the org, you clearly don't fit in here.

I think there's a distinct difference between celebrity/vanity and simple recognition. I wouldn't go on too much of a hyperbole here.

On the other hand, it's a bit facetious to pretend not to want recognition. I think we all do, whether we say we do or not.

Why does it have to be that extreme? If I make a video that I'm proud of, then I'd want people to see it. There's nothing wrong with desiring a little bit of recognition for your efforts. Who says it has to go as far as seeking "noob worship" and extreme popularity, trolling for awards, or gaming the system?

Indeed. And as long as you're not pissing on others or making yourself unhappy in the process, there is nothing wrong with that. Nothing.

I think this reaction right here makes a strong case for Godix bringing his avatar back. :P

Sure. At least I look forward to release a few videos for local cons. I´m a guest of some of them too.

Anyway I do try to release something under the rest of the year, but usualy in september I release two vids due to cons. It´s just that under the rest of the year I have a job or I´m studying. That means that I don´t have a lot of energy after a hard day.

I wouldn't flip off Jasper. She's female and the proper way to treat females on the internet is gushing fanboyism so that for once in our miserable lives we might have a woman who likes us. That way we can hold out the fantasy that if we ever met them in real life we would get laid. Pathetic I know, but that's computer nerds for ya. So if I flipped off Jasper I'd lose my fantasies and have to jack off to mental images of Otohiko or Koop or something. Don't make me piss off Jasper, I don't want to turn gay.

The ironic thing is I've probably just guaranteed that if I ever do met Jasper she's going to beat the ever loving shit out of me.
