First video:
Middle video:
Last video (so far - I have an unreleased video hanging around - it's not orgable though)
PM me if you wanna see a beta, but I have plans to go over it again anyway:
Don't really have a favorite of this year O.o
What I learned:
People don't get my silliness, and they think it ruins some kind of mood that I was not attempting to create.
I suck at upbeat apparently.
Plans to improve:
I really don't know, there's nothing really that strikes me as something that stands out that I want to work on. I'm pretty rusty so maybe I'll just improve on everything.
Person above me:
ZephyrStar keep making videos please? I really enjoy them O:
End of the year. AMV Resolutions and Fun.

Resolution:
I want my editing style to become a little more versatile. I plan on doing this by making a few action videos, a few trailers, a technical/ effect video, and a couple more fun/ upbeat videos.
In addition to expanding my editing ability, I also would like to win a few particular awards. I'd love to win Otakon's sentimental award with a Disney AMV again. I'd also like to win and AWA Pro award. And I'd be fine with just having a submission ready for Akross next year.
What I learned:
I learned how to properly edit scripts in Sony Vegas.
a few people above me:
Shin: You really had an amazing year. You just kept pumping out one great video after another. You're acually my #1 pick for editor of the year.
Code: You are without a doubt the best MEP/ project coordinator that I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The way that you organize and show a genuine interest and dedication to the projects that you're involved in is actually the driving factor behind the success of all all of them. I eagerly look forward to all the projects that you have planned for next year.
JaddziaDax: Right-Hand Girlfriend is definitely one of my favorite romance videos of the year. I smile whenever I watch it, and it was a great addition to the Valentines Day MEP. Also, it was the AMV that got me to watch Midori Days.

Re: End of the year. AMV Resolutions and Fun.
To all the sickeningly amazing editors here:
As for me:
My first video this year and my absolute favorite, out of the last few years.
Actually, it's sort of a lie. This small little thing I edited a few days before, but I don't consider it a full amv. The first one is full by my standards, haha.
The last one I made this year.
I'm currently in the Lady Gaga MEP, so that will probably be the last one that I started this year, but not finished.
Resolutions:
I'm one of those people that tend to hate everything they make, so...
I hope by next year I can make something that I like.
I'm also thinking of entering a convention. I just hope I can actually make one of the videos how I imagine it.
As for what I learned:
Nothing I can recall. I seem to have plateaued ):

Favourite: Gay Means Happy
What I learned: I feel I'm a bit better with masking and started experimenting with them in transitions. Made huge improvements in my lipsynching skills. Learned how to use some of the effects a bit better. Oooh, and I found out that I'm terrible at ICs
Needs work: Using text. Choosing fonts and colors is a nightmare for me. Color correction is kinda difficult too, can't seem to get the final look that I need. Also, learn to be more creative when using transitions.
Shin: I have no idea how you manage to edit as many awesome videos during one single year. I'm beginning to suspect you're actually more than one person...
Code: Kudos for making so much for the community. It just wouldn't be the same without you.
Bashar: Thanks for helping me prove Acen is truly Gaycen
Nya: Always there to help with editing software and/or running various org related events. Thanks for that!
Zephyr: Make moar ponies! And that Anthology intro was amazing.

Kind of an off year for me. Almost all the videos I made were only because of Project OrgEditor. I've had a list of AMVs I've wanted to make that I just didn't do because of one excuse or another, it's kinda disappointing. So for next year, I want to make some headway with those video ideas, at least one of which is particularly ambitious (for me, anyway.).
Additionally, I want to try to contribute more to AMV announcements, to new videos, maybe do more free OPs threads. I did some of that, and I watch a lot of videos, I just don't comment as much as I should.
Also, somewhat related to AMVs, I want to make it to NDK this year.
Person above me:
Kosmit, it seems like only yesterday you were releasing your first video. It didn't take you very long to get great at editing, did it? And not being that good at ICing is not really that important, I wouldn't worry about it. :p

Re: End of the year. AMV Resolutions and Fun.
Well 2011 AMV-wise was a huge let down, and that's putting it lightly. I didn't release a single video this year and the video I really wanted to do fell apart but I think I learned a pretty good lesson from that failure. I guess the only positive is that I was finally able to get my hands on CS5 so...yea. In 2012 I hope to bounce back and in the next few days or so, I'll be starting on another vid. I want to continue to learn the ins and outs of AE,Premiere and Photoshop and try and integrate that stuff into whatever I make and maybe dabble with Painter. I also should try to participate more in the community. I keep saying that every year and I usually just stay in my cave anyway, but maybe this year will be different...
To Ileia:
You're one of the editors who makes me ashamed to even watch my stuff after seeing one of your videos. Keep churning out that good stuff and good luck to you in the Doomsday year.

At the Moment, my first one because I love School Days and no matter how much I want to change it, I think, for me, its perfect just the way it is. :3
What I learned:
I learned sooooo much from here: Lip-synching (Which I still suck at xP), Concept, Colors, Beat Synch, Flow, Emotional Synch, Aspect Ratio, Containers, masking (My mortal Enemy) and that there are so many AMVs to watch! xD I really love all the AMVs here and I feel very privileged to be here with you guys!
AMV Resolution:
I wish to work with After Effects more in my editing rather than just avoid putting After Effects in my AMVs
Also, I want to join more competitions so I can has more fun Hopefully the Project Org Editor even though I'm probably going to crash and burn
To some of the editors above me:
Mainly this year, I'm very glad that I was talked into making AMVs because I have a lot of fun just talking with you guys Not to mention, Making AMVs is much more fun than just showing off all the awesome AMVs everyone else has made. Yet, I still have fun being an AMV DJ (Beside the point). Happy New Years Everyone!!!

Re: End of the year. AMV Resolutions and Fun.
To all the posters so far a big

CodeZTM: You make the community feel like a community with all your journaling/commenting/critiquing and now interviews/editorials. Keep it up and thanks a bazillion for all the effort.

Right now there is a pretty good chance I'll be anime boston for dissecting. lol

Diegao94: Enjoying the process of editing is always the most important part so props for that.

Party Animal (A Tribute to Pinkie Pie)
What I learned:
*I have done more editing in this last year than I have in any other year.
*Finally learned masking
*Dabbled in making comedy videos for the first time (and loved it XD)
*Seeing audience reactions to your own videos is the most inspiring thing ever XD
Plans for improvement/2012 resolutions:
*Learn to stay more focused and finish my videos sooner
*Learn After Effects
*Learn to properly lip sync
*Complete my two videos still in the works
*Finish my two in-progress videos, Aisling and Mihan
*Go all out on PONIES The Anthology II

Nya-Chan: .........uh, hi!
*runs away before Nya-Chan sets me on fire again*
JudgeHolden: I always look forward to new videos from you, Judge. All three of your amvs were a blast and totally underrated. I hope you get something at the VCA/JCAs this time. Thanks for all your advice when I was just starting out!
ZephyrStar: Dude, I had a blast working on the Anthology with you and the guys! Thanks so much for all your encouragement and support last summer and also for recording the audience reaction for my video at AWA. It meant a lot to me knowing I had good friends like you cheering me on. Can't wait until we knock Anthology II out of the park!
