Profile: Hey...I s'pose I should update this, since I haven't for almost a year...

Anyway, I don't have much to say about myself. I'm 20, in college, studying physics (astronomy is my area of interest), and love to make and watch AMVs. When it comes to how I edit, I tend to spend little time on my videos (as in, less than 15 hours) and my videos are usually very simple in terms of effects. Just because I don't put a lot of time into my videos doesn't mean they lack effort...there's usually lots of thought and meaning behind their arrangement, so...yeah.

Besides editing, like I said, I of course love to watch videos. I also really like to pimp out videos and editors I think deserve it, whether they get their due attention from others or not. So allow me this opportunity to plug my "homepage", which is nothing more than a Freewebs page that contains the video information for all my videos as well as a blog which I use to make recommendations for videos or editors that I think deserve it. If you ever need a suggestion for a good video to watch, might I suggest looking there first ;)

Anyway, that's me, and the relevant information. If you want more, you can check out the following personal info pages I have:
MySpace
Facebook
deviantART
Last.fm

Also, for those of you in need of some cool free programs to aid you with your editing, or just some sites where you can download neat stuff, might I direct you to the following pages:
Blender - Free 3D compositing program; can also be used for editing video
Paint.NET - Free image and photo editing program
The GIMP - Another free image editing program
Audacity - Powerful open source audio editing program
Freesound Project - Archive of thousands of recorded sounds, all available for free download
ccMixter - Archive of thousands of remixes, all available for free download
Wax - Relatively powerful free effects-based program/plugin; includes such things as 3D tracking and a particle generator
