Great interview as well! I don't think I've heard of BakaViking. Might go check out some of his work!
Another good read Code

Be helpful! Give useful feedback, and point people in the right direction. Positive or negative, there’s no need to be too harsh, but there’s no need to sugarcoat things either.

Of course they are, I’d be lying if I said something else! I’d also be lying if I said I don’t get frustrated and grumpy over harsh comments. But generally I don’t think it’s THAT bad in here, I’ve seen a lot worse. I think it has a lot to do with attitude: you can’t post a video and expect only praise.

I've tried to get a few editors here and always they're like "how the f do i upload" (because, like me, they click the "upload new video" link first) and even after (or while) i'm explaining it to them, they just give up and don't feel like it's worth it when they're right at home on youtube without such a hassle. i think that should be pretty priority with that fabled "Org redesign" yall talked about a while back.

I dunno if I will be here by 2013, but you seem to have potential. Not all days we have videos with interesting concepts. Keep doing the amvs. Seems you might be the rookie of the year

Something every newbie editor needs. From personal experience, after asking so many experienced editors for advice on what makes an AMV better and actually READING their advice, Anyone can learn soooo much from their advice on what they believe makes an AMV better and the questionnaire can learn so much more.

Was wondering if Chii is going to be one of the interviewees in a part 3 sometime? I was expecting her to already be in this second set of editors, but she wasn't.
I'm curious to read her opinion: it's the one person I know that quite literally left the org because found youtube better, so I really want to hear from her on this topic.
