I say don't. It's a lot more fun to spend your time hoarding gold and it3mz in some virtual world somewhere.

But if you're serious than I suggest you watch a lot of anime and find something that resonates with your emotions.

i havent been inspired in over 3 years.

the best way is to listen to music and watch anime.

if you've lost the insterest in AMV then its either a couple of things for it.

1) you are intimidated with the current/possibiliy better vids out there and you feel you cant compete with them.

2) you may feel that the political perspective of making AMV's is over whelming.

3) too much time. AMVs are not ment for something to take only a few hours, the "pros" that make AMVs cna take up to 100+ hours into a 3 min clip! thats where the procrastinating comes into play.

my opinion to get over it. watch LOTS AND LOTS of AMVs and set my own goals and try to meet that goal. once you've completed one and meet your goal, you may be inspired to once again try for something better and want to out beat your own creation.

dont forget that this is a hobby and that the only opinion that matters is your own. which brings me to my next point. lots of good AMV creators have quit due to absolute retarded, close minded opinions. constructive critisism is the only opinions that should matter and take them into consideration as learning points and a new way to meet new goals. ^_^

well thats my 2 cents anyways

Y'know... yeah, you're right. I did almost quit due to people giving me bad opinions on my video's, and how I do them. I have gotten better since my very first video, but I know I can do better than that. The reason why I always seem to lose intrest in a video idea is will people like it or not; or will people think it'll be greatest vid ever, or just some 'n00b video'. I guess the best remedy for me is: Just get over it and just not care. So if the 'pros' don't like my video that I did, oh well, I had fun doing it. But yeah.

I dont mind those opinions at all. Just as long as it's nice and constructive.
