AMV Multi-tasking

I'm not terribly good at multitasking when it comes to videos. Two is about my max. Plus, I tend to usually only have space for around one source at a time. But right now, I have a video and VG4 track in the works, so I have to split my attention between those.

i have multiple vids on the backburner, but i never alternate. i wouldn' know if i'm good at multi-tasking amvs, but if i had to guess, i suck?

last july i made three videos because they were all nagging at me, and i was just that bored... i didnt make them all at the same time, but rather one after another (i should say i "finished" 3 vids in july... i started one in june)

anyways,

im currently working on one major video (since Sept), but in the meantime ive done several "smaller" projects, meps, bday vids, and even a full (princess tutu) video...

so i suppose that would be 2 projects at once, this is the most ive ever done... only cause this one major project isnt finished ye

I have 2 in the pipe now, but usually I work on one at a time. My feeble mind cannot handle too much data at once.

I have too many projects -_- which currently include:

a 3d thing with video
a completely 3d thing
a traditional drama/comedy vid
a traditional fun/rock vid
some thing for some guy called Koop

Most of which are less than half complete
(except for maybe that thing for the guy called Koop, and the 3d thing with video is about 1/2 complete)

The thing I do like about multitasking is if one thing isn't working, you can switch to a different project and maybe that starts working for you. The thing that really sucks is when you have creative block alltogether...then it kinda won't help you.

The 3d with video thing I started working on last year about 2 months before awa, thinking I'd get it done. Technically it was sound, but I was running into trouble telling any kind of story with it, so I gave it a rest. Recently picked it back up and am making progress on it. People seem to like it so far, so \o/

Typically I work on one AMV at a time. But if the one video is really big and complex and time consuming I'll tend to do 'fluff' AMVs in the middle. Take a break for a day or two away from the mega project to quickly slap something together that just makes me feel good and as if I've accomplished something.

I've also had multiple projects at once, at a maximum of 3. But then they used the same source.
