Do you usually create one AMV at a time?

Ah. I used to be like that, but then I got a hell of a lot more harddrive space and figured "Not only can I never delete any completed huffys, I can have on multiple projects!" And thus decided to expand.

I hate to say it, but the one harddrive kept me in check. Now I'm so unproductive. =(

I remember when 100gigs was a godsend... And that's why I had the AMV list. ;_;
lmao.. yup I currently have an 80GB Hard Drive, its whats "holding me back" from doing more than one project at a time! and I have the joy or Ripping my footage anew each time, because after a bit defragging like mad doesnt help O.O AHH! computer matience!

I should look into getting a new one, but my current one works fine considering the circumstances :D

I hate that to. I'll listen to ideas, and if it's good enough/gets stuck in my head, I'll make it, but otherwise they are out of luck. My current list has 24 videos on it, 2 in progress. (In 5 years I've completed 35 videos, so I have 3+ years of ideas right now).

If I'm serious about an idea, it'll generally be the only one I'm working on. But I get all sorts of half-assed ideas that I sort of work on, so there are always a bunch of those floating around in the background.
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

Always. I have a list made specifically for the purpose writing down ideas for future AMVs. If I'm not interested in what I'm currently working on, I'll scrap the whole thing and start over when I am interested. Trying to come back to a half-done AMV is extremely intimidating.

I generally try to work on 1 - possibly 2, depending on the circumstances - at one time. My reasoning is more for the fact that I have a hard time jumping between concepts easily, and keeping to one vid at a time helps keep focus (but also sometimes slows progress down to snail speed). Last year also really burned me out because of VG3, remastering an MEP track for a project that still isn't done (Project 5555), and working on the Nightwish project track I signed up for. I also spent time remastering old videos. The last full-length - as in over 2 minutes - personal video (that wasn't a remaster) I made is from Dec. 2004.

Currently, I have 2 I'm working on (one of which is for this weeks AMV Hell CE Match), 3 that I've started and put on hiatus, 6 that need full or partial remastering, 17 or 18 that need to be reencoded (all of the original encodes are hosted on Local, so they're a low priority), 3 - possibly up to 5 - that I want to remake (one of the 3 on hiatus was a failed attempt at this), and several original concepts in queue, including:

4 Eva videos, with a possible 5th and 6th (which will finally completely exhaust my desire to want to work with the source for several years, possible MEP ideas notwithstanding)
3 Mahoromatic videos
3 Elfen Lied videos
3 Fullmetal Alchemist videos (one of which is currently in-progress but stalled due to not having DVD #7)
3 RahXephon videos
1 Chrono Crusade video
1 Galaxy Angel video
1 Fushigi Yuugi video
1 Oh My Goddess! (OVA) video
1 Azumanga Daioh video
1 Bleach video

and numerous (>25) ideas for multi-anime videos or undetermined at this point.

That was just recalling them at the spur of the moment (assisted partially by using my digital music collection to jog my memory). I seem to remember there being 2 Chrono Crusade and Azumanga Daioh videos each, and there possibly being another RahXephon entry, but I can't remember the song at this point.

Yes, I usually do one at a time. That's all I really have the patience and hard drive space for. Of course, I'll do Iron Chef and such while I have other projects I'm working on, I just don't work on more than one full-length video at any given time.

Ha! I have two harddrives sitting on 120GB and my main one which is 30GB, not to mention sometimes I edit via my network at home and hook it up to the other PC's harddrive... yet I still never feel like I can or should edit more than one video at a time.

I usually do 2 or 3 at a time split between my desktop and laptop...
