Nothing kills the desire to do AMV's

when your hard drive crashes and terminates over a years worth of AMV development. Gah.

Was working on three (AMV) videos -
Appleseed - (bridge to nowhere) Incert Coin (local band)
Wonderful days - My immortal - evansence
and Vampire hunter D - The Clay People (Disturbed, Static X, Slipknot) - Awake.
as well as a MMV? movie music video of Equilibrium to Linking Park - somewhere I belong

Sigh. The Equillbrium and the Appleseed were done, finished. The other two were on their third draft ( i normally do a "four pass" on my videos.. sometimes major changes happen on passes!). Feels liks 2004-2005 was a big fat waste.

All i have now are third draft for appleseed,wondeful days and equillbrium, and 1st draft of VHD that i had throw on a flash drive to show some friends. They "fine they great as they are" but dammit, as the author, you know when somethings complete and when is not.

heh. on the upside all i do is sleep now. plenty rest.

I can prob stamp that and create some direct links if anyones interested in what "could have been" - i'd say 90% complete. All xvid/mp3 i believe

times like this i wish i smoked weed

You lost a years worth of work because you couldnt backup some project files that weigh in at less than 100k each?

This is why you should post your AMVs as soon as you make them (also if its bad you can easily get negative feedback and change it).

Same thing happened to me on my William Shatner video, so I feel your pain.
