AMV flaws you want to admit

[lloyd9988]

More Flaws:

I think my videos are amazing and then a few months later when I'm more experienced they look like crap to me.

I don't like watching amvs with country songs, or instrumental(unless it's something that someone is showing me, and I do like it somehow)

I hate editors that are worse than me(even know i'm pretty good) saying I did something wrong, when they make that same mistake in their videos.

I hate most AMVS and try to like them, but still hate them.(so sorry but most suck)

I don't think I could do a collab because I didn't need people being judgemental on my work, especially if theirs suck.

You know, I'm about at my limit with you. -_-

Here goes:

-My focus is either acute or half-hearted.

-All of my emotional investment is in my most recent work, I doubt I could have two real projects going at once, one would get forgotten.

-If I stop work for more than a few days I lose inertia... Have finished videos that could have used another round of refinement because of this, and so i cringe to rewatch parts.

-I keep trying to mask with layers and layers of color keying, even when it's clearly a dumb idea.

-I've never worked on an action sequence of more than 20 seconds.

-An idea requiring too many sources overwhelmes me and is apt to get put on hold indefinately.

-Weak on the technical side. (But have figured out how to get the guides onto my kindle, so step 1 in tech self-improvement- check!)

-Lazy about learning new programs.

-I find the tech flaws in the first video I made for a convention charming.

[ZephyrStar]

- I have a ton of unfinished projects (like 12) that sit around until a convention or some deadline comes up, then I do a bunch of work on them and still miss the deadline

- I'm all about concept, I usually don't think I've done enough with a video unless it has a great concept, but I've always had this secret desire to make effects spam and edge out Nostromo, also becoming famous in Russia. It'll never happen because I don't like effects for the sake of effects.

- I have the issue with previews too...while I'm editing I think stuff is brilliant, but when I render a final, it looks like complete ass to me.

- I also get the "you don't know how to synch" thing often...since I focus more on particular subtle things than the obvious ones. I was really happy with how my "anti-synch" in daydream turned out, but that's the thing I got called on more than anything.

- I don't take the hobby very seriously at all. Maybe that's why I'm fairly lazy in my release cycle. It helps that I'm also making a movie which eats up my would-be AMV time....so biggest AMV ever?

- I second guess everything. I eventually had to learn to go with a first impression, or after constructive criticism, decide on a concept and just go with it.

-Technically I'm pretty proficient, but I still like deen()

I just feel like I've going to miss something glaringly obvious simply because I'm used to how the vid is edited.

That's my beta experience in a nutshell.. so its tough for me when people just reply with "its good" or something else similar

It's helpful to have both groups of people... but if they're just saying "its good" to be nice, I get very angry with them.

Same.
And then after I'm finished I never want to watch it again. ~_~

Really? After I'm done my AMV, I'll loop it for at least a day straight!
The only reason I stop is because I think to myself I'm not going to see anything new. Stop this madness now!

Looping for a day straight is part of the post-production process. Gotta iron out all those loose frames, glitches, tiny imperceptible flaws.


~I want to edit to Darren Hayes all the time.
~I love complicated lyric-sync. I love reinterpreting the lyrics into a new storyline. I love lyrics! So I'm probably pretty useless to people who don't speak English.

This is the one that bugs me the most:
~Editing is hard. >< --I mean the creative parts, the stuff that matters-- I find it all very challenging. Some people make it look so easy. I don't know how they do it. <<

One of my favorite videos >.>

Well when I beta I usually ask for specifics on where I feel I need to work on. If I ask for timing nitpicks and I get "it's good" then I get frustrated, if I ask for something more like concept and I get "it's good" then I'm fine with that.

Meh

[Eion]

-Whenever i have an idea, i walk around my room listening to the song dancing
-A strong dislike for everything i edit, thought that hasn't been an issue lately.
-Feeling that I always do the same stuff which causes me to rage quitting
-Laziness is also a part, cant make anything that's longer than 2 minutes
-Can't work on videos on and off ;_;
