Is Technical issues outstripping Artistic issues?

Well I can't say it is easy to make a video when the source footage needs to be the quality of the original DVD.

when the source footage needs to be the quality of the original DVD.

When does it?

The conclusion that I've reached is this: it is possible for technical coolness to become too much of a priority when it shouldn't.

I will admit that quality can make a big difference to me. It is fairly
important that a video look good or at least decent. As someone who
has cycled through some terrbile methods ... I can say I have learned a
lot and honestly believe it's been worth it.

(msvideo1->indeo->huffy->avs)

(oh and mpeg all the way... xvid/divx love to screw up my videos)

I think at the most base of this discussion... Vlad says it well. Remember
why you make videos (well whatever your reasons are)... and don't let
technical battles consume you... though I really love the LD vs. DVD...

Make the video so you wanna watch it. I don't think it gets any simpler.

Or if you are more of an award hound, make the video to manipulate
judges and the audience into loving your video.

I think that each and everyone of AMVs that didn't use DVDs as source should be trashed and forgotten.

It will be a noble and a worthy sacrifice since DBZ DVDs are hard to acquire.

Seriously though.. when was the last time you saw a 10/10 for video quality AMV whose overall sucked badly?

Interesting, eh? Becouse I can't recall any..

Well, when I started my first vid (and current

), I had bad quality footage. It later occurred to me that I might want to enter this at one of the cons I'm trying to attend. So I got a DVD-ROM drive and embarked on the most tedious and agonizing process in my entire life. I'm still replacing those clips, but that's the only reason. I just don't want it to look crappy so that I'm assured people will notice the artistic aspect. Some people are simply turned off by the image and then don't look for any meaning or plot.

And, also, I read the guides thoroughly and with much agonization. And I still couldn't do everything I needed to just in terms of creating avs and avi after ripping the vobs. Just all this technical mumbo jumbo has taken more time than my planning of the video. I still had to get help from Melezov and Chaos Angel up there. Now, everything is relatively simple and routine, but still agonizing and comparatively primitive. But nothing was more fun and addictive than just trying to be creative and artistic with my video.

So, in the end, for me it's artistic all the way. I'm simply not knowledgeable enough to create a visual and technical masterpiece. But I can still make good enough looking effects if I need to.

Hmmm..Interesting. I guess we'll just have to toss some great videos done by the likes of Brad DeMoss, Lee Thompson, Kevin Caldwell and problably almost every other person on this list who's been making videos for the past 2+ years as well
