AMVs are NOT a free hobbie.

This forum is for the general discussion of Anime Music Videos.

But all of you I met so far are awesome so every cent of that was well spent :up:


Hehe... that's certainly my similarly most expensive thing that relates to AMVing... ~$4000... all in one trip :lol:

I did buy my current set up for video/media editing uses (like promo videos for concerts and conventions), but AMVs wasn't its sole purpose.

probably about 500 but that's including anime and music.
If you want a series to be longer just write fanfiction!(but don't make anyone read it)

enough that if I considered it for an extended amount of time, I would have a nervous breakdown and end up crying myself to sleep every night.

Not that much really. Most of my Amv-related stuff, I would have other wise. The biggest thing I have amvs to thank for is mah external hard drive. Without amvs I'd still probably have my anime, cds, and my computer.

I've made most of my decisions because of editing. While I do edit professionally (political advertisements, etc), I don't do it often enough to justify the money I've spent. Most of my stuff I have because of AMVs. If a purchase will do what I want for AMVs, it'll serve much less intensive purposes, so I buy on how it will effect my ability to edit. Remember, I own no video games, I do no programming, I run no servers, etc... All I do on my machines besides surf the web is watch anime and make music videos.

I have purchased, with the intent to use for editing:

Computers:
A compaq presario in 1999.
A Sony Vaio laptop in 2001.
A self built system in 2002.
An Apple mac mini in 2005. *
A self-built shuttle system in 2006.
A brand new self-built shuttle system in 2007. *

Capture/Graphics Cards:
Dazzle 80 (MexicanJunior has this now)
ATI TV Wonder LE
ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 7500
ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500DV
ATI Radeon 9200 *
Nvidia GeForce 4 5500
Nvidia GeForce 7100 GS *
Pinnacle Systems DV500 *

Programs:
Windows XP (yep, was running 2000, upgraded strictly because of AMVs) *
Final Cut Pro HD 5 *
Adobe Photoshop CS3 *

I have a corporate license for Premiere, but I never paid for it. I do own it; I have the original packaging, but it was provided for me when I worked for a TV station as an intern in 1999.

Harddrives:
1 40GB - Dead
3 80GB - One dead, two sold.
3 120GB - 2 sold, one dead, one in current computer.
1 320GB SATA - Currently holds all important data.

I have externals for all. In fact, since selling drives I have two more external cases than I have harddrives.

RAM:

I've upgraded ram several times. Probably paid around $70 a stick, no matter size, as years went on.

Monitors:
You can argue if I had a computer, I'd need the basic 17" LCD screen I have. Sure, but not my second monitor: *
HP 1907 HD Compliant 16:10 Widescreen Monitor *

External Devices:
Apple 30GB Video iPod * (I bought this specifically to carry around AMVs the other way people carry around music. I refused to buy any mp3 player that couldn't play videos for years...)

* denotes that which I still own/use.

Oh, and I'm told I own a really nice chair...

I have a chair too. It use to vibrate ...but then i broke it ... so now it's just a normal leather chair : /
It cost like 100 bucks, but i didn't buy it for editing. I bought it for sitting in. :O

Props to me making a topic that reached 100 posts :O

I think the most I've spent in editing is my time, patience and sanity.
