    Even if the idea is funny, fckin do something about the visual quality - it's not that complicated!

    I find this incredibly arrogant and does irk me no matter who said it. A simple "you should have made your visual quality better" would have conveyed the message.

    This sounds to me like whoever watched it was so freaking disappointed, so freaking irritated that they couldn't hold off the bad language and bad attitude. If this was the case, then I wonder what other puny little things in life get them this riled up and they certainly wouldn't be a pleasant person. Perhaps they're the kind of person that loves anonymously yelling at the computer screen, thinking it makes them a great person to yell at a video for having less than immaculate visual quality, believing they know better.

    Maybe they do, maybe they are better in making pretty videos, but that still doesn't excuse the poor delivery of this tantrum. It just makes me feel sorry for them in how far gone they may be from realising what's actually important in life.

    I wonder if they've ever thought, that altering or filtering visual quality of mix sources of which some are obviously non-DVD actually isn't the best thing to do in this case. I wonder if they've realised that smoothing such things would actually make the footage look more like arse as you lose more details through the process. Heck, I wonder if they've even considered that perhaps they're not watching it in the native resolution as, hell, anything in that size will get blown up in the screen pretty crappily, particularly given larger screens. Certainly I don't think they've even realised that down here in Australia, PAL DVD sources aren't the easiest things to work with -_-

    I set about to create a video that was focused on its theme and I used whatever sources I had in order to do that. So long as that story was pushed through in a cohesive enough manner and my footage didn't look like some youtube rip, then that was enough. Last thing I'm wondering actually is if they've seen any of my previous works in which my focus was on high visuals and that I damn well came out with the goods then so I'm no video-illiterate to be talked to like that.

    I'm a reviewer, and I know what I like and certainly voice out things I don't, always in a professional and respecting manner... but seriously some people should learn to speak better than this manner-less pig-like rambling.

  • Holding on... 2008-09-17 02:00:24 Hmm... here I was thinking that I was more active in making AMVs this year than I was last year. But when I counted it at first I was only part of 5 videos this year compared to 9 last year, and we’re already almost three quarters of the way through the year and apart from a couple of projects I’d like to do before the year ends, I’m thinking this is probably it. In contrast though, I also noticed that 5 of the 9 I was in last year were multi-editor projects, while this year I was only part of 1, so really I’m about the same in terms of solo videos.

    I definitely reckon I’ve been a lot less part of the social side of things around the org this year. Heck, last year was AWA for me, i.e. the epitome of the AMV related social events. The tumultuous activity of starting a new job I guess kind of hampers such things, but if I look at it more closely I find that that’s not entirely accurate. True, it’s because of the new job that I’m less active with the groups, but it isn’t because the job is occupying my time. In fact, it’s because it’s given me more free time (now that I live much closer) that I can use it for actually doing things outside of my room, for which I’m only too happy about.

    There’s been a sharp decline in the number of videos I’ve downloaded off the fly as well this year. Maybe it has to do something with the spate of mass downloads I’ve had to do during VCA season. And yes, it’s been long enough now and I don’t anticipate very many people reading this, but I was one of the 5 judges for the JCAs, the one that didn’t reveal himself, so I’ve had need to download every single semi-finals video @_@;

    I’m also greatly reduced in the convention activities, and though I would say that this year’s Manifest competitions will be very good yet again, I find myself finding shortcuts wherever I can just so that I can get it all over and done with.

    Truth be told, I think I really just like being on the move nowadays. I find myself unable to concentrate on one thing at a time anymore for long periods of time. The internet used to be a full time deal for me. So much so, I can probably attribute a few failed assignments back in uni to overindulgence. Everything that has changed in my life recently has given me more options. More TV channels, more places to drive to, more restaurants to discover, heck, even more women to give me headaches. So I’m always unsettled, and perhaps the only thing that still feels regular to me is editing, which is probably why I’m doing more personal videos than last year as I don’t need to operate under anyone’s deadline and I can just dabble in the creation when it suits me.

    This has been one of my longer rants in these journals in a long while… just goes to show that days like this when I’m just lounging around waiting for the automatic search in my computer to finish aren’t all that common. Gah… where is this file?!
