[First AMV] Teenage Hell

[NemoSperry]

Everything that has been said has been taken into consideration.

In the end...you all just don't get it.

On a ligher note, here is a picture of Rei Ayanami.

I for one like when people are brutally honest on my vids like bubblehead, then when they say they like it, you know they realy liked it and not just trying to be nice. As someone elses sig whos name I cannot remember, said, In the face of critisim, "Shut up and make it better."

Anyway bubblehead wasn't flaming, she's just outspoken with her opinons and may seem harsh to those who don't know her. Shes just helpin.

[Hitori]

Shes just helpin.

Lock the thread, it has turned into a self inflicted flame...

[NemoSperry]

I apologize for this mess.

I just didn't appreciate my first opinion being something so brutally honest that it could be construed as what I construed it as, especially when it seems I may actually have some talent.

Things like this have happened before in other art forms I have entered (and have talent in), and it is quite stymying.

But who am I to say? Hitori is right, and I realize I have overdrawn my cred points with this thread.

[NemoSperry]

oh ad while I'm waiting for the vid to DL, let me point out that you are the one flaming her.

Opinions appreciated; flames not accepted.

All she did was give her opinion. Not all opinions are good. Face it. It was your first vid, if you cannot handle people's honest opinions, please don't bother uploading and asking for them.

Should have come to expect a rather urbane answer as that.

I thought this community forum for a-m-v.org was for discussion and support of fellow craftspeople. But hey...I could be wrong.

Also, why should it matter if the person giving their opinion has vids up? Or even CREATES AMVs? You don't have to be an artist to know what is good art and what it bad art. And face it, some art is just boring.

"Those who can, do. Those who can't, become critics."

Tell me...has Roger Ebert ever done any films? How about Gene Shalit? Have any literary or art critics done any of their respective media? Or at least enough to get recognition to where they wouldn't have to become critics? I think not.

Okay, DLed the Vid. Here's my OPINIONS and things I noticed that could be done to improve the video. And yes, I DO make AMV's. I'm on a panel at a con giving advice on how to make good AMV's. So yeah, I know what I'm talking about.

Oh, joy! An expert who runs a panel! I need to take this seriously why?

-Interalacing, like bubblehead mentioned, needs to be fixed and it can easily be done. As it is..it's an eyesore and greatly dtreacts from the video.

Didn't find out about it until too late. Is there something in the ripping process? Or maybe when the clips are all merged from the project to a WMV file in WMM2? Is there something I'm missing here, Miss Expert?

-You need more cuts. The beginning was rather nice, but then the music stayed at the same pace but the cuts got longer. It just did not suit it and lost the entire mood of the work.

I assume you meant the "bus crash" scene. I had that put in because I thought it was cool. But obviously, this fell victim to the elitist tastes of the AMV arts community.

-For such a large filesize, I expected better quality. It was quite pixilated almost throughout the video.

I'm sorry to have ruined your expectations, Your Highness.

-It had a very strong opening with descent timing.

That wasn't so hard now, was it?

-the music quality could have been much better. If you used an MP3, DON'T, if you ripped it yourself, try it again, it sounded muffled 0.o

Are you on crack? Hard of hearing? Does your rig suck or something? Is there some sucktacular sound card you're using that I'm not? Do I have to conform to your disabled computer so the sound is not as muffled? o.O

-I've never seen the show but I'm a bit interested now ^^

You'll like it. It's one of those rare finds.

-I think if you fised your attitude and outlook on this community, there are plenty of people that would be willing to help you to become a great editor. I can see the talant there, you just need to mature and let it cultivate. Noone's first vid is all that great ^^ I won't even host mine here. (gah Hellsing and Metallica >< it was sooo bad!)

1.) It's not just my attitude and outlook on the community...but on fandom and artists themselves. A lot of people just don't get it, and like to hide behind a face of hostility. There are A LOT of snobs in art, writing, and fandom these days that just don't see my talent; rather they strike me down because I don't suit their tastes.

2.) Don't be so hard on yourself. Or maybe the "HellsingxMetallica" video conjured up nightmarish visions of you being flamed to high heaven by AMV-snobs?

take a look at these guides before you start your next project. They will help the problems addressed here.

Ah, the GUIDE REFERENCE! A very subtle way of saying "YOU SUCK!"

Thank you.

Good luck with your next!

oh and um...no thanks...I don't care for trains.

There are other ways to go.
