Recession

[Ashton]

AMVs, like all art, repeat themselves

The big thing right now is flashy effects, faster cuts, high energy songs, and tons of frill. I can't wait till the back to basics trend rolls around, and in my latest video that I'm working on, I'm trying hard to spark that trend ;P

I have a hard time agreeing with all this. I think that its true that the trends change, but I really dont think its been all that extreme. Most of the popular studios and creators are still working on the more basic ideas(IE SpPanda), or have moved to using less flashy devices (IE ErMaC.) I dont see that much, but then again, for some reason I tend to be relatively unatached to the actual AMV VIEWING part of the AMV scene; I like making them, and I like talking about them, but I dont see how so many people can make so many general statements about a comunity that isnt producing that many really popular works.

Id just really like some sort of justification (just a couple of "case in points") because I dont think Im watching the right videos.

I haven't done much cause I, one, just got around here a month ago and two, I sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day already. So when I get home I don't feel like sitting there for however many hours. There are two though that I've put off since I started making vids that I might finally get around to doing. Been lazy cause I'll have to set up my vcr to my video card and grab what I want cause I have the animes on vhs.

I believe that Animemusicvideos.org is in an AMV recession.

I'm in a reccession by technicality..u see i've been working on an angel sanctuary vid for the past month and i just started a z.o.e. amv....so until these amv's are done and put up on the net i'll be in "reccession"..but i'm sure that we're all hard at work on our next amv's or planning out them out and working out the details...so just hold on

I think a large part of this "recession" is that a lot of good creators are simply fed up with AMV community BS. Who wants to spend hours slaving over an AMV, only to have some asshat say it sucks? And with all this obsession with "status" and making a "name" for oneself, people are probably trying to hard, and thus their work actually ends up worse because of it.

As for me, my own lack of output (4 non-project videos in the past two years) can be attributed to the fact that I'm just damn lazy, and videos are taking me longer to make. All I have planned right now is my DDR3 video and DDDR video...oh, and the miniAMV video...aside from that, I don't have any "private" videos in the works. No inspiration.

i've never been too into the idea of a private video...
i dont know... maybe i've just never grasped the concept of
a grand revealing...

I think he means a "private" video as in his own project that he is working on.

Not actually that he sits there in front of Premiere in a house-coat with a glass of rum or brandy, sipping slowly as he watches the render bar move across the screen.
