- You know you're an amv creator when... 2004-04-06 21:42:31 You spend 30 bucks just for 10 seconds of footage.

What the HELL did I just write?
2004-03-27 11:37:32
I woke up with a hangover and puked in my trash can this morning and I signed on to the .org today to figure out that I wrote some crazy shit about problems with the amv community. All I remember last night was logging on here and writing "amvs" and "fuck" alot then passing out.
"they can blow up walls with their boobs"?
What comic book did THAT come out from?
Being sober enough to actually read all of it, wow... I don't regret writing any of it at all. I think I need to drink more often because one day I'll wake up and probably realize I saved a hospital from blowing up or something. -
Fuck everything you believe in.

Ok, I'm fucking drunk as hell right now so I'm probably gonna spout out alot of shit and won't remember it when I wake up but whatever.
The amv community is not going to hell, there is no fucking slump. In fact, amvs are the same as they ever were just with more effects and doohickeys but that really shouldn't matter because amvs are still amvs no matter what. Still putting japanese cartoons to music in whatever way, yeah. Still a form of art.
Expectations and standards may have gone higher, but as many people have said and I'll say it again. Fuck everyone else's standards and expectations. As Wonka said, if you're happy with your work, the rest of the world can fuck itself up the ass.
Another problem?
Fame. Recognition, Glory.
Fuck them all to hell, up the ass with a large pitchfork.
You wanna be recognized? That's cool. What do you want next? Parades, and people showering you with praise, gifts, babies on your doorstep, and riches? Fuck you then you fucking egotist moocher. If you keep making videos just for fame and glory, you will always be disappointed making shitty videos just to win and when you lose, you'll fucking cry like a little baby. If you keep winning every con over and over again, good for you, just don't cry to us when you lose.
Nobody cares about you? Nobody gives a damn about you? Nobody notices you? Fuck that. It's their loss, not yours. Everyone in the community has potential to do good. It's already reached the point where one person will come out with a crappy divx source wmv video and 2 days later their pumping out huffyuvs with after effects. You will truly be surprised how many people are willing to watch your stuff even if you don't get any opinions, email, or a response to your thread in the amv announcments. Somebody is always watching, not everyone will tell you they are. Even if ONE person watches your video and closes it after the first second, you did your job, you got your stuff out there enough for someone to watch it.
You're not a well known creator? Fuck that. Where did this hiearcy shit come from anyways? Those "top well known amv creators" are normal people just like you and me. They eat, shit, and piss like you do, and they don't have any super powers where they can blow up walls with their boobs or whatever. Go meet one of these people at a con, they'll treat you like an equal and probably shit in the same bathroom as you. People are people. If you ever become a "Well known creator" then please remember we're all on a level playing ground, just because you win a few cons and people shower you with riches and praise doesn't make you any better than anyone else. Just because you're an unknown and overlooked creator doesn't make you any worse than anybody else.
AMV creators love you more than you think. You just gotta lose that fear of being inferior because it doesn't truly exist. Send them an email, IM them, chat with them, you may be surprised with their response.
Accept the fact that you're not going to be the talk of the town everyday. Just because you win a con doesn't mean you're gonna be god of the world forever. You are not the fucking shit. One day you are, then the next day, you're just another schmoe. When people stop talking about you and begin moving on to someone else, ACCEPT IT.
Afraid to make a video just because you think it'll be unoriginal? Overused song/anime? afraid of what people will think? Fuck that. There are only 2 types of amv creators now, those who do them and those who don't. If you get bad feedback, fuck it. Yeah, it fucking hurts, I will admit that. But think about how much time they wasted trying to fuck with your feelings and how much time you're gonna waste fucking them back when you can be doing something else. Don't bother with those shitbags. The faster you get over it, the faster you move on and improve. Who cares if you get a 10 page opinion saying you're the spawn of satan. Say fuck it and deal with it. People are priveleged to be assholes, it's a freedom the world grants to everyone.
There's tons of shitty videos out there but who cares? People can make whatever the hell they want and you can't stop them. It only becomes a problem when you start letting it get to you, knawing away at your dignity like ants over a sugar pile. You feel like shit because you feel everyone else is making shit and you feel ashamed for being associated with this shit. Then do something about it, make something you feel that isn't shit and just fuck everyone else. Shit cannot hurt you if you don't let it. So what if bad videos keep flooding the community? Let chaos reign and just go to the other side of the world. It's not gonna grab your leg and bring you down to hell.
Why am I saying this?
Because I went through every single thing I have mentioned above. It took me a VERY LONG time to experience and deal with it. I see many people going through the same phases EVERYDAY and just not on this site but everywhere else in general. We as people get upset over the littlest things but there are always ways to deal with them. I wish people would stop bitching over every little thing and just fucking make videos. People have to realize they're the only ones who have control over their own destinies and they alone are the only ones who can satisfy themselves.
I guess it's the alcohol taking and when I get up, I'll probably regret writing this but if I ever say I'm sorry, then please beat the shit out of me.
For those of you having fun and not giving a flying fuck about anything. You all fucking rawk. -
