quoted for great justice.

as for me, some you know I'm doing original animation atm, but that'll take a while to complete.
I'll never bring in stuff like that in a job or anything though, that should be individual and personally important.

I actually do a lot of other video/editing stuff. That stuff is primarily why I haven't done many amv's to date. Some is for hobby, some is professional. I got my degree from college in character animation, but right now I work as a graphic artist in advertising. On the side, I'm working on several projects that are video related (an indy film, which will get shot once I have budget to get the camera I want and to pay the people I need), and some animation shorts (which may eventually end up being a bit longer than just shorts). Also working on 3 or 4 amv projects right now, several of which have some 3D character animation. My problem is I like too many things :/

I'm an editor working for Troublemaker Studios in Austin, TX. I'm currently working on two documentaries, neither of which I can really talk about, but its awesome

Working in 'the bizz' is 2 full time jobs put together, as I usually have 50-70 hour weeks, so AMVing has taken a back seat for the last year. Although from what I understand, no one really cares about AMVs anymore, and most of this forum has turned into either spam or off topic.

Climbing the Hollywood latter is not without its cool perks. I got to go backstage at Antone's (famous Austin club) and hang with groupies and various celebs and whatnot.

I do plan to do some weird live action/anime/animation video art type stuff in my free time however. Its never been done before, and you'll either hate it, love it, or think its alright.

I used to have dreams of working on Sportscenter and doing highlight reels but I've abandoned those...

I've done freelance editing on training videos and meetings/conferences for my prior company but nothing significant. I should get back in the radio biz...

I've done freelance dvd authoring for my dad's company and some family friends...

Editing wedding footage is very different than amvs.

I've done some freelance stuff for both the school and some people I know. It's something of a way to supplement my income *minimum wage whoot* and help out people I know. For instance, I did a freelance project that was scanning and recoloring old slides someone took in New Zealand so they could raise money for a charity by showing it.

I'm a junior visual effects artist working on a TV mini-series right now. AMVs definitly influenced what I do because I learned a lot of the basics of visual effects from making them, so it gave me a huge headstart already before I'd even entered college.

I both disagree and agree with that. I mean, I love my job and I consider it "awesome", so the money is just a (very handy) bonus.

But at the same time, it's definitely burning me out on the AMV side. I mean, I go to work all day and do rotoscoping, and then I come home to do... more rotoscoping?

I'm taking a Digital video producer course at a private college in Amsterdam right now. So far its just bin translating what I know to different systems (Mac) but along with that also the producer end. I've always souly work worked from a artist/designers perspective with other in field jobs so this is what will push things for me.

Ones I finish this course and maybe something ells in the near future, I'll start looking at an actual studio. Along with that myself and a few other locals on these boards are already working on taking on actual motion graphic jobs as it is. I guess we're waiting for a certain someone to get DSL, so we can start completely standardizing our setups thus creating better work flow.
