AMVs & People who just want your work for the content

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

I would ask you this, SQ. Aside from word-of-mouth, how else are people supposed to see your videos?


Go to search, click "super search" and for anime put in "Kingdom Hearts II" There's about 5 responses, 2 being min, another being someone else's(And even though the video quailty absolutely sucked ass the AMV itself was awesome) and one that was not available for download.

For every 1 person that gives feedback, roughly 8 others are keeping silent for whatever reason.


Ahh. Your theory is wrong, my friend. I wish I were smart enough to know how to take screen shots. But here's the exact numbers:


Kingdom Hearts Special (2003-01-15) [hits: 1064] [ops: 0]
Linkin Park -
Opening
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts 2

Character Profile
Other
Serious

DIRECT (950)
indirect (94)

Changes are good. Wait until you've seen mine.

ANd I seriously doubt that many people have heard of my work from word-of-mouth, or liked my other previous work.

but my point is don't worry about their reasons for downloading the video. At least they're watching it, eh?


That should be reason enough to kill of this thread while it's still immature. ^.^ Thanks. I'm incompitant, and don't realize things unless you point them out. Thanks again for the err. . . Compliment?

The only AMV that gave me a "good" name. Only. God I wish I had another idea like that. . . .

But anyway, 760 is not 1064, and I highly doubt that every one of those 760 people told around 10 of their friends, who in turn told ten of their friends that SQ has "good" ideas on how to make AMVs, to add up to 1064. . ..

I never said it was "my content" I said it was "my work" as in the idea I thought up, and the construction I made, the sync of music and anime/game to make the AMV.

or I may whip out the "Template".


Go right ahead. That'd be mighty Polite of you. But before you do that, could you answer my question?

What have you seen? There are a few of mine that are all around sucking that I was just too lazy to take off the internet. So I'd really like to know what you saw.

No one was stealing anyone else's work. . . That has completely nothing to do witht he current topic. . .

. . . And you still haven't answered my question, which leads me to believe you really haven't seen any of my AMVs at all. :?

Than you shouldn't have started with your opinions about my videos in the first place.


Giving your opinion is fine-- Even if it's an obscure and stupid one. But giving an opinion on something you haven't even seen is just fucking dumb. :roll:

*Yawn*

You really shouldn't worry about it. I never got ops either, but then I started doing exchanges and one thing led to another and I became slightly more well known, and after that I'd start getting a random op here and there.

If people wanna see your amv for whatever reason then you shouldn't really care. No one is going to see a file name and be like "wow, they must have put their heart and soul into that, I will download it in order to see their mystical vision and become deeply moved". That's just not how it works. People go for what catches their eye. You want an opinion then do an exchange, or ask a friend. :wink:
The best effects are the ones you don't notice.

Let's see... YES I do feel like some people just get videos for content, I know I DO sometimes. I might listen to a song and wonder if anyone's done an AMV to it... I'll search for it on the org and check it out just to see what type of idea they had for this song.

I know some creators put their "heart and soul" into their videos, and I respect that, but this is just something you have to get over. Sometimes you're not going to get feedback/opinions on your vid... Deal with it. My "<a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=8481">Tanshin</a>" vid has 1000+ downloads and hits, but there's only ONE opinion. Tough luck. Just move on...

The Content speaks for itself. No Template needed.






You're more wothless than I am.






Give it up.





The thread has ultimately died.






I'm not going to continue with the sibling fight from here on in.






Mods please lock this thread.
