When you have such a good idea, you don't want to make it...

...out of fear that your final product won't live up to your own expectations.

Ever had that feeling?

On a side note, the best AMV idea just hit me during English class this morning...

I had this happen, too. Just burned off the (half-finished) project file for safekeeping, as a matter of fact.

I say try it while you're still enthusiastic. You don't HAVE to finish and release it yet; you can always make a practice run or two.

I say take a stab at it and if it doesn't come out the way you want it to, either polish it up or keep it around and come back to it.

There's alot of videos I barely even touched upon in the past that I really wish I had followed through with because now I have absolutely no drive to make them.

Do it while you're still gung-ho about it.

I've put alot of time into alot of videos and then a harddrive will crap out or I'll need to format and start over from scratch and I have no desire to continue the video. 5+ videos were lost that way.

Heh...
I say put it off till you feel like a knife is in your spine and you HAVE to make it...

Or else the only fanbase you've ever had consisting of 2 people will hunt you down and proverbially kill your sorry ass.

You'll never know until you make it. You shouldn't just give up your videos that easily.My video 'Your World' lasted through 2 hard drive failures where i had to start over again. I beleave all of you can finish these videos. you just have to put your mind to it and keep at it. Well only you can decide what to do. Take care all.

Not really. My projects never live up to my own expectations, so I figure "oh what the hell" and just do things anyway.
