Yout too old for this

[LuluandAuron]

I have kids older then the average amv maker...and seeing as I have 5 kids, I needed a new hobby So about 6 years ago I started editing. Don't foresee ever giving it up either. I have no time and I'm very busy, but editing is so relaxing....stressful, but still relaxing. I'm miserable when I don't have a video on the go.
So yes, I think it's quite normal...depending on how you define normal. Here, yes....on the PTA no, I believe I'm the only one

I'm old, enough said ....

I started when I was 23 O.o that would mean i should have quit 2 years ago

[Ijexis]

Heh, I started when I was 18 and still mad at myself for not being involved in the AMV community years earlier. Sometimes I wonder when will be the day that I say, "I quit, I find no fulfillment in doing this anymore." But...I can't ever imagining that being the case, while I, like other people, do take breaks from editting, we are still involved with it in some way and come back to edit something(hopefully full). I see myself editting, even when I'm 90 and saying to that generation of editors, "young whippersnappers today and their crazy anime, I remember back in the day, you couldn't go 24 hours without a Naruto video popping up somewhere, somehow...especially on youtube."

Is it normal to be above 25 and still edit music videos (anime music videos), does vlad even edit.

Do I even edit? Hmmm. check my profile...

Age is in so many ways a mind set! I enjoy making AMVs and really don't feel age has anything to do with it... And I'm still pretty good at it even for an "old" man

He went off past the rim to that fabled land of too old to editor creators what we only hear exists in legends... Just before he vanished, he tried to get me to come along, but as my work is not yet done, I resisted staying in this gloomy old world to yet to edit so more before joining him and vanishing for ever only to be brought up in bed time stories at conventions.... Yea...

Oh, come on. It's no fun if you just vanish. Let's preserve you and put you on display like they did with Lenin. We'll put you in the lobby at AWA or some such place, so we may properly pay our respects.



...On second thought, that'd be kind of creepy. Bed time stories it is!

Actually that would be cool.
Or maybe a statue or something

When we discuss editors' age and whatnot, I think one should consider how much more accessible AMVs (and everything else associated with them) are than they used to be. I got into AMVs and anime when they came to my attention, and that just so happened to be when I was in my early twenties, primarily because that's when I got my own computer and started heavily using the Internet. When I was 15 (that would be 1993), the AMVing community bore very little resemblance to what it is today, so in that respect it's not as if I ignored it for a long time and then suddenly decided to become involved. I didn't even know it existed (it took me a heck of a long time just to get my hands on some anime, and not for lack of trying).

I definitely do NOT participate in anime/AMV communities the way I would if I was 15 (being 30, now), but my age hasn't interfered with my interest, either.
