AMV Multi-tasking

The Wired Knight · Post by **The Wired Knight** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 5:16 pm

Just curious; how many videos have you ever worked on simultaniously? It's hard enough to work on one with full attention but how many have you ever tried to tackle at once?

My record at the moment is three, two of my own videos and my SAST video were running at once. The only reason that worked though ist hat the SAST video only needed footage off of one DVD so I still had enough hard drive space for more VOBs.

I'm working on about.. 3 right now? (not saying they're going to get done, though) and I've just got another simple idea a minute or two ago. So give me a couple of hours and I'll have 4 videos on the go at once! Erm, woo.

That said, I don't work on them all at the same time.. I generally space out working on one from another by at least a few days.. and because I use compressed files as my source footage (3viX) instead of large uncompressed files I have the space to work on so many at the same time without really worrying that I might have to delete something. But they're all being worked on around the same time.

Right now I'm working on one AMV for myself and an MEP. In the next week or so I'll be working on my own AMV, a collab, and two MEPs. And as soon as I finish my own project I have another one lined up right behind it.

It's kinda rough :/

personal record: one

if I don't start other projects in the middle of a current project I reduce the chance of leaving the first project unfinished

I never start more then one large(ish) project at a time, if I work on something while I have a main project going, it's only ever a very short vid or mep segment. Something that I can finish quickly.

well, if you count the ideas that I am gathering footage on then my max has been 10.

If you only count those I am actually working on, 5. my creative talents lean toward different projects depending on how I actually feel, so that influences which video I actually work on when. Lately I haven't been solemn or depressed much so the dramatic ideas I have started on haven't gotten much attention, while my upbeat and comedic ideas have. And then there is the fun idea(s) I have for videos that require a better understanding of AE, so I have projects going while I tinker with that program to figure out how to accomplish certain things I want to accomplish. Then there are projects I will start for cons I am staffing, such as opening videos and other things like that. Then there are the multiple MEPs I may have tracks for.

For some reason I seem to put out more often if I have a lot I can work on, have deadlines, and can find ways to alter my moods.
