Well what can I say, I wont "Made In Alberta" award at Animethon 11 for the AMV I didn't even think would make the final cut "Everybody Hates Me". I am practically as speechless about this as I was when they presented this to me. Everyone around me (Including Vlad) says I deserves this but in some ways I feel I dont deserve this. Either way its nice to know that after 3.5 years of AMV making I finally accomplished something. Now the only song playing in my head is "Get Some Go Again" by Rollins Band, or in the words of the great Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 8 "you did it once, lets see you do it again!". Its a much needed motivation to stick with this hobby that I felt for awhile that no one else cared me sticking around in.
Now I am just think of what to do next. I think I will just cool down, watch some anime, work, go to school and when I feel its time to do something I will. If anything I am dropping all my projects. The only project in my mind I wouldn't mind going with is remaking "My Secret Place" since I got the DVD of it at Animethon 11.
Outside of AMV making I loved the AMV contest. I would be a dirty rotten liar if I said I wasn't jealous of how good many of the other AMVs were. Stepping out of my self depression that I had on that Saturday night (before I found out i won the Made In Alberta award) I enjoyed the AMVs.
I had seen Machine's AMVs before so I knew what I was seeing from him I was just surprised I didn't think his "United States Of Whatever" video would do so good, I thought his "Drunk With Love" would do well but it didn't oh well I liked that one. I voted for "Soldier" by Hitori, I felt that was the best video of them all, I am going to download it as soon as I can and give it a review. I liked Kill Spike, and the Hellsing video from HerQluez (however no offence but I thought it was PG material for the contest, I felt this one was definitely not PG material oh well I guess).
Anyways I am trying not to let this award get to my head. I am just going to relax and say to myself, I dont think this will happen at Anime Evoltuon too....but on the other hand I think.....nahhh nevermind. I wont be able to go to Anime Evolution since I was lucky enough to get the past 4 days off from work enough. Well congrats to the others who won I am going to lay down now this has been a VERY heavy weekend for me. -

I am excited to be at Animethon again, totally stoked that i have made it into the AMV contest for the second year in a row, not to mention into the panel as well. I will try to help others with questions however do take note that Vlad knows mountains and mountains more about AMV making than I will probably ever know. I will try my best though to help without looking like an idiot but knowing me thats gonna be a test.
I'm probably gonna say to see all of my AMVs at Animethon you may want to see the early AMV show before the real AMV contest show where all of the creators that will be appearing will be (I beleive if I read the schedual right). I have a feeling I'm Still Here will be on that list with maybe Primitive 2, I dont know if "Everybody Hates Me" will be. It doesn't matter though I will still promote it at the show. More and more I wish I did a non credits opening for BOOH3 just incase because I really think it should have been put into Animethon, its such a great AMV.
I am not ashamed of Primitive 2 because its poor star rating compared to my other AMVs right now. I honestly think thats because of the music I beleive, I think the editing it pretty tight in it (as you may see at the show). I think its because its music that is not exactly pop culture friendly unless you show it to likes of flint, farlo, Nailz, heck maybe even Rubyeye who love metal, of course their opinions on the editing maybe different but I dont think they would not have qualms about the music as would say son_goten would (I had to). Call it excuses but I am proud of Primitive 2, I made it for myself more than anyone else. To prove that I can still can make a metal AMV. It is certainly the heaviest/brutal AMV music wise that I have made since well Moto Psycho nearly 3 years ago or even Primitive 1 exactly 3 years ago.
Vlad e-mailed a few days ago that if I wanted any non contest AMV I made shown as a sample of my work at the AMV panel (probably to introduce me or something) to send it to him by Saturday. I told him any of my contest AMVs would do. Honestly I have been thinking of it more and more, what AMV would be a good introduction to me that is PG rated.
The World Was Never Enough: Case Study Of Gendou Ikari - Possibly, it marks a new side of me or at least Metal Wolf gone to the next level.
Against The Wind - Some consider this one to be the best AMV I ever created, who knows
Cat Scratch Fever - Honestly this would be my personal pick but if you seen it, it isn't exactly PG rated. If any AMV in my opinion would be the soul and attitude of Metal Wolf its Cat Scratch Fever, which is an oxy moron (dogs/wolves and cats)
History In Anime - The most popular AMV I ever created since "X In Sex" (someday I may remake that one, but it depends if you want it in VHS quality or not. I only got it on VHS collecting dust. I know mexican juinor wants to see it remade. He is the only one I know who I "think" enjoyed the AMV. Oh well time will tell when I remake X In Sex.)
Rally Ridin' - I would love this one to be in it, but this one has swearing in it, not PG material, never meant to be.
A Boy Named Sue - Not exactly my best AMV but everyone knows when approaching this AMV to take your seriousness and leave it at the door. Its a parody AMV, something I like to do sometimes, a parody in my own way. Ironically enough I started remaking this AMV when Johnny Cash died.
I'm Still Here - This AMV will most likely be selected and I wont feel bad about it, you all know how proud of the AMV I am, its practically me in everyway. And AMV made from a statement on my 3rd year in AMV making. I have helped two AMV makers come in but they left just as fast (Shadow Productions, Dragon Slayer Productions), I have been insulted by AMV makers and self esteem destroyed by them (Sammy/Obession Productions, Popndeth). This is a testimate to the fact that while they all came and went.... "I'm Still Here" and thats something NONE of them can take from me no matter how they think. I wish ED (man from Dragon Slayer Productions) seen this AMV, more so now than ever.
BOOH1 - This one I would LOVE to put in but I dont think so because its way to long (around 9 minutes) not to mention there is subject matter that is anything but PG.
BOOH3 - I would love for this one to be it, but it has violence that is definitely not PG rated.
A-ko VS B-ko (Formerly B-ko's Love Bombs) - Possibly, while its great, tougne and cheek I dont think I would like it to represent me in anything. I made it because I felt it deserved to be remade. I still love it though.
Primitive 2: Prophecy - I wouldn't mind this one being the one show, it sets everything that Metal Wolf was, is and will forever be.... in your face and relentless.
Everybody Hates Me - I did this AMV easily, it is a parody AMV much in the same style of the Sue AMV. This one marks more truth than Sue though. I made this more or less because it was a DAMN good idea not to mention lets face it, nobody likes Shinji.
Victims Of Moira Syndrome - Oh no this one is rated R with a with upper casing and font 200 size on the theatre screen. If that wasn't a factory I would love for this one to be the AMV to introduce me or represent me as Metal Wolf. I consider this AMV to be the most under rated AMV I have out their on the LOCAL database. My kind of horror, and for those who did like it, a sequel may just be around the corner.
These Eyes - I wouldn't mind it is certainly the highest rated of my AMVs, however I feel it is way to slow and sort of mocks at my username "Metal"Wolf but it is very much Metal Wolf as "Primitive" or any other AMV I ever created.
After Animethon I will go back to work on my sort of sequel to "These Eyes" with something much more harder and different called "Cold Ethyl". If that AMV dont work I may attempt another AMV which will be the sequel to my Victims AMV. I will attempt that doesn't mean I will finish. It will deal with Black Jack as the doctor of course with another set of patience dying from a disease. What song will I use well its not to far off from Megadeth, its from a band that sort spawned Megadeth, I used them two times before.
anyway I am gonna watch some movies. -
My Animethon schedual
2004-07-09 02:42:34
Saturday
9 am to 11 am - AMV contest (most likely not this one because it is not a main show one
11am to 2 pm - look around, get portriats, shop, maybe have lunch. Or watch some anime
2 pm to 4:30 pm - AMV contest, either in the morning or at this time, whenever the creators are supposed to be there. This is probably the main one to get all the main AMVs makers into.
5 pm to 8:30 - Read Or Die, then Hikaru No Go
Sunday
9 am to 11am - uncertain may do anything
11am to 1 pm - AMV panel
1 pm to 5:30 - I dont know
Honestly this may all change I dont know any of the new anime thats showing and I much rather read the read ups on all of them before I decide.
I feel a bit better, still a bit angry. tomorrow I will have time to work out, as well as the next day.
On July 10 I will e-mail Vlad to see if the arrangements are set up or so. I am sure he will reply to everyone with the final cut list tomorrow or the next day, sooner or later. Talk to him about the panel if possible, he was suppose to e-mail those interested in the panel on the 7th but hasn't e-mailed me back or so, I dont know. He is probably busy so I wont be impatient or be pushy (try to at least) I know its hard to organize the show.
Anyways I am going to have to drive up to Edmonton myself since my dad is going to be in Newfoundland with family.
Well hopefully soon all the questions I have will be answered, I just need more patience.
Right now I dont want to work on the Devil Man duo AMVs, I just dont feel I am up to it. I dont know what I am up to anymore. I seem to not really have much drive to make AMVs right now. I know this uncertainty brings the best out of me. I just got to stay focused. I want to make a horror AMV, something Alice Cooperish. Sick yet funny sick. I have a few ideas. I dont really know right now, I want to do something. I think I will just let it aall go for awhile and something will come to me, either new material or ideas to remake an old AMV. - RIP 2004-07-08 14:12:11 My only grandfather died last night. I never knew my other grandfather from my mother's side he died soon after I was born. I knew both my grand mothers, only my mother's side more so. Either way I did know any of them well enough since we were across the country from each other (I am in Alberta, they were all in Newfoundland.). A sad day for me today. Thought I would say it here. RIP Pappy

Here in Canada Day, its a bad day
2004-07-02 02:18:56
Anyways more and more I feel un willing to make any AMVs right now I just dont feel like it these days. If anything I have done 33% of the Cryin' AMV, it seems that the more I work on it the more i find that I missed a few clips I should gotten the first time around.
Nowadays I am just not in the mood to be making AMVs. I expended most of my creative juices on These Eyes which is getting good star reviews everywhere, even my dad likes it. Usually he doesn't know care or understand my AMVs since I always like to make layers of different statements in my AMVs, this one was nearly simple. I always seem to do these sort of slow rythmic AMVs well, I treat them all like I am waltzing. Maybe I should try to implement that into my more harder edged AMVs, however its hard to waltz to Iron Maiden.
Honestly right now I just want to do something that I can get the clips ready for easily instead of spending 3 days getting clips for. If getting clips for Evangelion took one night I bet I could have done the AMV immediately, well and have it completed by now but my interests always seem to change. Right now I have choices I have for myself
Devil Man 1 and 2 - There is truly no use to remaking them anyway because there will be excessive violence and nudity. Two things that the LOCAL drive wont like on it. Sorry but I play by the rules.
Living After Midnight AMV - This has the best chance of being done.
Fuuma Walks - same
Sweating Bullets - I tried it before, honestly I dont know if I could do this now either right now.
Motor Psycho (RJ doesn't want to help me remake it, he wants to make new material) - maybe I just need enough motivation and sugar rush.
Then there is always the chance of making new material. Maybe but it will depend on the idea. The only creative juices I have are hell bent on making another AMV of Ryoga, yes I have a Ryoga phobia (probably to Somebody To Love by Queen or Cowboy by Kid Rock)
I will decide soon enough but i know this EVA thing is not working out.
Right now for July I want to remake a few AMVs, I know my original plan was to remake the EVA AMVs but honestly that isn't coming through well.
Here it is Canada Day, I ain't feeling up to it since Alberta's premeir and our Prime Minister are both as evil as George Bush Jr. While Bush is a Howdy Doody to minster of defence not to mention a war crazed hypocrite, both my leaders are just plain flat out cheating crooks who for some reason both get voted in no matter how corrupt they are. Anyways happy Canada Day fellow Canadians whom ever voted for Conservative (one wants to make Canada just like US, no offense but I like Canada to be Canadian.) and Liberal (we all know they lie, cheat and steal through their teeth) are morons.
