ROV. 37.
*sniffle*
I know everybody nowadays would scoff and call it stupid, but *sniffle*
I also found a working torrent for 28-30, so I can finally see those. Andre. w00t. Even temporarily-insane!Andre. w00t. Angsty, cheaply-animated French-revolution anime marathon! (as soon as they're done!)
And yeah yeah, an idea IS chewing on the inside of my head for this series, but I know I shouldn't. Maybe I'll make it and not distribute it. I keep thinking I should do that, make something I really like and keep it. (Well, "keep it" meaning "distribute it off my own space for a little while and then retire it.") Because if I don't enter something in the catalog, OH EM GEE, they might stop me from being used as a fucking laughingstock again. PLEASE, NO. ANYTHING BUT THAT.
...
*mental wipe of bad AMV-community juju*
This idea is giving me a giant attack of the warm fuzzies. Sure, it may not work, but I like the thought that it might.
I did have *an* idea, different from this, and even started working on it, but attempting to edit with the fansub files made my computer lag like hell and crash approx. 10x more often than usual. Very frustrating. But I may still consider trying it. It's a back-burner idea, anyway. And as I just found out, sometimes back-burner ideas actually get finished. :P
---
Recently a quasi-idea came to mind, and I thought, damn, that is SO you. Really, it was a moody, slow-ish but not ballad-y song, lots of piano, tracing a pair of characters' attitudes toward the same theme. I was at the point of considering making one of them a figment of the other's imagination when I was like STOP IT before you become a parody of yourself. Sheez.
In a way it bothers me, but in a way it is what I like doing, in practice. I do wish I could do more, but you know, working on MOTL (my in-progress, fast-paced, lots-of-effects-by-my-scale project) is a GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS. It amuses me greatly to watch the exports, but actually *working* on it is a drag, which is why I've taken to gimmicks like writing out lists of things to do for myself. Because it's just not fun to work on.
I guess what I mean to say is, I'm really very lazy. And I'm not very good at visual stuff - like, ever - so we have the proverbial Teaching A Bear to Dance situation, where I'm struggling to do something that just isn't in my nature. So in a way, there's *an* advantage to doing bogstandard boring-as-hell introspective stuff, even if I wish I could do something with more energy. Because energy is *tiring.* I'm like a hobbyist to the extreme; I do this to relax, and I can't relax if I need to be hopped up on enthusiasm.
It's hard to overstate how lazy I am, really. I burned off another of my back-burner projects while burning off the work files for "Clouded," and I daresay the only thing that stopped that project was abject laziness. The whole thing was in my head nearly shot for shot; I just didn't feel like chasing them all down and putting it together.
Oh, I'm just talking to myself at this point. I don't think I've ever felt so estranged from Teh AMV Communix0r, so it's not like I have anything I actually want to *communicate.*

All right, break it up.

-_- x 2.
Seriously, people, gossiping Is Not Cool. I know each and every one of you who's likely to be reading this, and you know I'm freaked out lately by real-life stuff (since I've been nattering about it nonstop on LJ), and I really, really don't need to be gossiped about in addition to that.
Okay? Lay off? Please? 'Cause you know, this week is unfun enough as it is. It's not the worst ever, but I got bitchslapped by an admin on the boards, my ex-boyfriend turned out to be insane, and I'm tired all the time. I really don't need to have people poking sticks into my monkey cage on top of all of that.
I'm not going to throw fits, I'm just going to ask. Please find your entertainment elsewhere. I'd really appreciate it. Maybe we can pick up with a nice round of "point and laugh at the stupid nobody" next week, okay? Just not right now, please?
Thank you.
On the AMV front, there is no AMV front. I've taken a week off editing The Fun Vid in order to catch up on sleep. Just putting my files in order, burning off stuff I'm not working on anymore, etc. Oh, and trying to finally finish "Rose of Versailles"; I'm up to ep 37. Don't worry, I probably won't be making videos from it. ;)

-_- I swear, if I were just a liiiiiittle more paranoid I'd swear that somebody's trying to rile me up for their own entertainment. I think I saw a reference to me in a thread I wasn't even IN. WTF? How the hell does that happen? How the hell does anyone even remember my name? I don't get it. It's not like... God, I can't even IMAGINE how this happened. Ow, my head...
But (apart from this moment of bitching) I won't fall for it. People want to start trouble, they're going to have to look for it elsewhere.

Hey!!
As of a couple of days ago, I've been making AMVs for two years. Sea of Stars is dated April 7, 2002.
Doesn't show, does it. Heheh. Well, hey. It's been fun.

...having just read the "I Wanna Be Koop" thread in General AMV, I feel compelled to clarify.
I want to make a video that can have that kind of emotional impact.
Carry on. ;)
