I'm not ur enemy am I?

Anyways, editing is NOT the fun part to me... The special fx, [or not] are a pain in the butt...

I live for watching the finished product 209384092384 times, now THAT is my fun part...

Back when I used WMM, making AMV's was uber fun since I didn't care about all the technical stuff. Premiere has syphoned some of the fun away but I still love seeing something worked on till completion. ^_^

i love it!

>_<

maybe it's a flaw of mine.

its not a flaw, its what makes your videos so good. People who dont have fun with it make videos that turn out horrible ~_~
I've turned into too much of a technical person which I think has sucked out alot of the fun of amvs.. maybe I should just revert to being an encoder. Then again I havent been watching anime as much as I used to so maybe I'll get that creative flow back once I get back on schedule

Same reason I make them Sppanda! I love editing in general.

I have way too much fun editing music videos.

...even the weird ones that I only like...

If I didn't have fun editing, i don't see how I could stand making a video in the first place. Editing is the best part, aside from the finished product, when making a video, coming up with ideas to throw in, the utter enjoyment of getting part correctly synched just the way you like it..aahh..yes... *creams his pants*

The first thirty seconds or so are always fun for me.

But that's it. I have to force myself to keep going, and I don't know why I even bother. The quality of my work tends to reflect this:

Code: Select all

fun
|---------
|         \
|          \
|           \
0-------30---\-------------- elapsed time (sec)
|             \
|              \
|               \
|                \

(quality = k*fun)

I think I just like pain. Come to think of it, that might also explain why I bothered to make that ASCII graph.

AMVs are a hobby. If you don't enjoy it, I fail to see the point in pursuing it.

I do this because I find it enjoyable. Editting is fun to me. Also frustrating at times, but still fun. ^_^

I love to have fun with what I do. Although I pretty much suck, I have fun doing what I do. That's why I keep doing it.
