Thank you all very much for your feedback.

I'm glad some of you think it's my best video, because I really did want to use this last chance to push my limits a bit.

Exactly. I used to have so much fun editing, and thats why I've done it for so long, but now I've started having to force myself to open Premiere and just start editing in order to see the final result. Kind of kills it for me.

I hope you will stay a while longer in the community as a non-editor.

I plan to.

But the default settings looked all nice and "firey"... >_>

And if you have time to create short projects, you have time to create long projects, it's just a question of time. You can just edit sometimes when you want, without stress or anything else... Even if you need 3-4-5 months for a video (in my opinion), it's not a real problem ^^. hum, it was just my opinion.

If I spread out the time I use to make a video, just a little bit of editing here and there, I tend to lose interest in the video very quickly. I see it in its incomplete stage for so long, I get tired of it, and in the end it doesn't seem as special to me when it's done. So to me it really wouldn't be worth it to try and do that, when I have a feeling an AMV like that just wouldn't be satisfying.

I was a little worried that some people would think some of the effects were over-the-top (particularly in the childhood section), but in the end I decided I liked the mood they gave off. Too bad you didn't like this video that much, but thanks for the feedback anyways.

How is she attention whoring?? Would you rather she just fade into the background and let others think for years, "what the heck happened to silver_moon anyway?" I know I'd want to know if someone's quitting. She knew this would be her last vid, so why keep it a secret?

At any rate, everyone needs to download this vid, because it's awesome.

Does that mean you're staying? Or is it a twin thing......

As I was reading this thread, the Winamp's shuffle feature tracked to the song used and started playing. Rather eerie.

I see how the terms are used and can be applied. Although, I would think it would be an overexaggeration for the parts she played in this community. IMO, it's like how Jay-Z "retired" from the Hip Hop Industry, except this would have a more positive feedback. I think if someone like me allova sudden say this is my last and no more vids, people wouldn't give a damn or two, except for the MEP coordinators who'd be pissed or dissapointed by not me going on my word. Then I'd be attention whoring, and most likely be causing negative feedback, or none, rather than positive ones like silver_moon received. So this is more of an announcement due to her roll in the community. Or something like that. btw nice vid.

For now, I'm staying. My own last vid will probably be finished next year sometime.

We were both planning on quitting after AWA Pro this year, but I switched ideas and didn't end up getting my final project into Pro.
