Oh what the hell, I've got time.
1. C.J. Hayes
2. Flint the Dwarf / Goat Productions
3. 2 years and 2 months
4. My brother, an avid anime fan, attended an anime club at his college (the club was JAC, at the University of Illinois) and had seen an AMV shown. He found out more about it, and then found this site. After some time, he showed me a few videos, two of which really stuck out. Those videos were dokidoki's Right Now and Rubyeye's Dark Legacy. It was Dark Legacy that really struck me as amazing. Being the fantasy bookworm that I was, it appealed to me a lot.
5. I found this site on my birthday, and joined two weeks later. I started collecting all sorts of videos, and started giving free opinions because I wanted to contribute something but didn't know anything about editing. After one specific opinion, the editor (Melezov) told me a little bit about editing, and I acquired the use of an editing program soon after. The main reason I wanted to edit was because I still hadn't found a video I considered flawless. There was always something I would have changed if I could, and I wanted to try my hand at it.
6. I always start with the concept. But I usually start forming the concept while I'm listening to music, and then what anime I've seen starts cycling through my head and I filter out the good from the bad and see what works. As I listen to the song more, I get images as to what sort of flow and mood the video would require, and how to pace it. Then I open up Premiere and give it a shot.
7. It hasn't, really... I still edit much the same way, but I've found smoother, faster ways to do the same tricks I started with.
8. Help me? They don't. But they do allow me to see some things differently (always things to do with video; namely video trailers and effects in movies or commercials), for better or worse.
9. There were some things I picked up at an AMV panel at Otakon 2003, where I actually saw the first documented (I use that term loosely, as I don't know the details) AMV ever. It was a sad little thing, innovation aside. Most analog editing was a little sloppy. But I know several people who started making AMVs before they'd ever seen one. AMVs started all over the place, and I don't think one person deserves credit for the idea. Although Kevin Caldwell seems to be given a lot of credit for having popularized it, even if the hobby isn't all that popular.
10. My number one inspiration is Rubyeye, because his videos had, and still have, the most appeal to me. A big part is because of the music; it was hard to find videos using music that I was a big fan of (I was just getting into this genre of music), and Rubyeye was all about promoting that music. But aside from the music, concept/story was always what I looked for, and Rubyeye's videos were never lacking in that. On top of that, there was all sorts of sync in his videos that it seemed lots of AMVs were lacking.
11. MADs? Very little. Just what I read in Piano's interview, and what I've seen in his videos. From what I've seen, most of them don't interest me much.

1. What is your name?
Donald J Zimmerman
2. Do you have an online nickname/ studio name?
Oldwrench (I've been in auto mechanics for around 35 years)
3. How long have you been making AMVs?
about two years
4. How did you get interested in AMVs?
When my son was in college he got me interested in anime, later he brought home a couple amvs, I was fascinated by them. I have been collecting and watching them ever since.
5. How and why did you begin making AMVs?
My son gave me the anime Jin Rho, at that time I was converting my old records to cd's on my new computer. One of the songs hit me as fitting very well with the anime. I used windows movie maker and some programs for ripping that I found on the internet and made my first amv.
6. How do you make your AMVs (concept, procedure, style, etc.)?
All the amv's that I have made were before I met Phade McCormick and learned about the org. I use old rock songs that I grew up with. If I hear a song and think of an anime or see an anime and think of a song I try to fit them together. I am not a good editor and don't use many effects, movie maker is rather limited. I work in a linear fashion. I let movie maker cut my anime into lots of clips and sort through and edit them to fit the lyrics as well as my limited imagination allows. I try to achive a certain fit and feeling of anime to lyrics.
7. How do you think your style and method of making AMVs have changed since you first started?
I don't think my style has changed much, as I said I'm not one of the good editors. I have found a way to make my amv's work for me, I'll stick with it. I would say my ability at vid capture and at fitting clips to the music has improved.
8. How do the skills you have learned from making AMVs help you in real life?
At my age I'm really not going anywhere with my editing. It has helped me learn more about using the tools available on my computer, a help in converting old vhs tapes to dvd's.
9. What do you know about the history of AMVs (when people began to make them, who made them, how they made them, etc.)?
I got into this to late to know the early history. I guess you could say it goes back to the old musical cartoons, Disney channel did some they called Dtv in the 70's and 80's, they were quite interesting at the time. My kids were young and I watched with them.
10. Who were some inspirations to you and why?
My kids, who thought I should try to put my ideas into amv's. I can't remember names of the creators of all the amv's I have seen but they all inspire me and all deserve credit for the effort they put into these little movies.
11. What do you know about AMVs in Japan?

3. About 6 months now
4. KaZaA showed me a few vids and got me stuck.
5. I had editing skills from school and work so I decided I'd take my crack at it. I still don't consider myself that great, but I'm liking how things are progressing.
6. I try to make things flow with the rythm and words as best as possible. It it seems to blend seemlessly, I've done my job.
7. I feel more confident about it and less of "Random scenes and music with no sync."
8. I'm alot better at making videos in the first place, plus it's opened me to a community of nice people to talk to.
9. Nothing. Sorry.
10. Well Hitori was a big inspiration, as well as many other videos. They just seem to keep me going.
11. Again, I know nothing.

Otohiko
3. How long have you been making AMVs?
1.5 years
4. How did you get interested in AMVs?
Through anime, really - that is, I came across AMVs incidentally as I was looking for various info about anime online. Comedic AMVs struck a positive response with me, with action AMVs following shortly. I saw an entertainment value in them, that's all really. A thought on any significant artistic possibilies didn't cross my mind until...
5. How and why did you begin making AMVs?
...until I started getting a bit more interested in AMVs around early 2003, and discovered that there is far too little, if any, recognition to musical artists I thought highly of in the database (as in, no AMV's to certain music), while what I considered to be over-rated mass-culture music was teeming in abundance, and I became furious that so many people took AMV's with so little seriousness. With that irritation in mind, I boarded the community on May 5, 2003, and immideately went out to criticize un-originality and people's music tastes... only to be rudely awakened to the fact that things were not at all as they seemed, and there was indeed a dedicated community of artistic, competent creators. Within a week or two, I got rather embarassed of my behaviour, and contemplated leaving - but didn't, as this 'artistic' side of the community started getting to me.
As far as my motivation for starting to actually edit, there's a number of reasons, the most important one being the desire to represent music I value in a different way both for myself and others.
6. How do you make your AMVs (concept, procedure, style, etc.)?
Music. Although anime got me into AMV's originally, music keeps me in them, motivates me to make them, and determines my editing choices and directions. Visual content, to me, is a means to an end. The editing process is an instance of active listening; and since I have a very defined and somewhat unusual music taste, I think many of my videos end up rather weird on a conceptual level.
On the technical side... Economy. I tend to edit very simply, avoid doing anything I can avoid doing; but of course, there are certain demands that music will place on my editing.
7. How do you think your style and method of making AMVs have changed since you first started?
No. There are some technical tricks I learned, but the approach and style remains the same.
8. How do the skills you have learned from making AMVs help you in real life?
They don't.
9. What do you know about the history of AMVs (when people began to make them, who made them, how they made them, etc.)?
Not very much, besides what I may occasionally hear around the community.
To be honest, it has no bearing whatsoever on my editing, or what I enjoy watching.
10. Who were some inspirations to you and why?
There are too many at this point, so I don't want to single out anyone. Take a look at my 'Favorite Videos' list if you'd like a few specific names...
11. What do you know about AMVs in Japan?

Sotero Lopez1. What is your name?
mexicanjunior/Random Variable Productions2. Do you have an online nickname/ studio name?
Since 2002...3. How long have you been making AMVs?
Saw some DBZ videos early on after getting hooked by Cartoon Network. After the initial DBZ rush, I started checking out other vids and eventually found the org.4. How did you get interested in AMVs?
After watching other people's AMV's, I decided to make my own with music I enjoyed. I didn't really see people using older music (70's and 80's), so I decided to give it a shot with WMM.5. How and why did you begin making AMVs?
Build AMV scenes around lyrics, rip footage and start synching to music and beats.6. How do you make your AMVs (concept, procedure, style, etc.)?
I don't think my style has changed as much as my preparation has. Early on, I didn't think much about making my video quality look good and just focused on the song/anime match. Now I actually care if my video looks halfway decent.7. How do you think your style and method of making AMVs have changed since you first started?
I've learned how to use Adobe Premiere, which has got me some side jobs in video editing. Also, the ripping and encoding portion of AMV making has helped me in teach others how to do the same.8. How do the skills you have learned from making AMVs help you in real life?
Not much outside of knowing they were made with 2 VCR's and were mainly lyric based (which is a good thing).9. What do you know about the history of AMVs (when people began to make them, who made them, how they made them, etc.)?
Carlos Corral (Machine) - His Faces of Death video was one of the first videos that blew me away in terms of editing and content. He also helped me out in understanding what it takes to make a good video (timing, editing)10. Who were some inspirations to you and why?
Weng-Cheong Fung (Shonendizzycow) - His Eva Opus video continues to amaze me.
Tim Stair (Fluxmesiter) - Excellent timing, great concepts, great music choices (sometimes

Ryan Molina (Castor Troy) - One of the very first AMV makers I ever discovred. I downloaded everything I could from Ginga Giri Giri, he got me hooked on DBZ vids early one.

AMV_4000/Mr. Pilkington - The only 2 guys sick enough to make Hentai AMV's with me. They inspire me to make outrageous crap and not care what the public might think. I dig the freedom.

Not much outside of seeing a few MAD's. I have been impressed with how effects driven they are but, they not as concept driven, so not really my cup of tea at times.11. What do you know about AMVs in Japan?

4. Seeing a few in random rooms at AX 1999
5. "I think I can do this" and then purchasing some crappy equipment
6. The idea comes to my head out of nowhere when I'm just listening to some of my music. then I listen to the song about a hudnred times and all the scenes start falling into place.
7. Well I'm still against doing flashy things and I still don't particularly enjoy making comedy videos unless they are VERY wrong in nature, but my editing has gotton more precise and I aim for the various tones in a song to match them all simultaniously.
8. Actually they haven't shown to have been of use much unless I need to do some editing for someone, but I am more knowledgable regarding computers now than I was.
9. Pretty much jack.
10. Anthony Bennet, Nic Niedenbach, Studio NGE, Kevin Caldwell were the first creators I can remember, although more inspiration happened when I joined the AMV mailing list back in 1999.

7. Well I'm still against doing flashy things and I still don't particularly enjoy making comedy videos unless they are VERY wrong in nature, but my editing has gotton more precise and I aim for the various tones in a song to match them all simultaniously.
8. Actually they haven't shown to have been of use much unless I need to do some editing for someone, but I am more knowledgable regarding computers now than I was.
9. Pretty much jack.
10. Anthony Bennet, Nic Niedenbach, Studio NGE, Kevin Caldwell were the first creators I can remember, although more inspiration happened when I joined the AMV mailing list back in 1999.
11. Nothing really.

2. Brsrk of Globocide Productions
3. Year and a half roughly
4. A friend showed me a video he made, gave me a disc of Evangelion AMVs, I signed up here, now I have a bigger AMV collection than him. He also introduced me to anime. my collection > his.
5. I used compressed MPEG footage from HK DVDs that I ripped from a friends DVDs, really bad idea, although I thought the quality was decent. I also found AMVs to be a fun hobby that everyone can enjoy, regardless of if hey love AMVs or not.
6. Find a song, try and find an anime that fits it. Plan out how I think it will look in my head. Play video games when I should be editing, I end up then getting to editing and I think it comes out really well.
7. I honestly can't answer this question completely, but I've learned from watching other AMVs and getting feedback on certain things I try.
8. It makes me seem like I know more than everyone else I talk to
. I was talking to someone once, and video editing came up. I told them everything they needed, how to use it, a few tips, and an example I made. They were like "O_O" for around an hour.
9. I've known about AMVs being made as early as 1997, that's about it...
10. Kevin Caldwell, Aluminum Studios, Zarxrax and SSGWNBTD (AMV Hell), Pwolfamv, Steak, DokiDoki and Nappy. Of course, there are more.
11. I know Paulo makes them... That's all I know...
