  • Almost done 2004-05-16 01:23:11 Almost done the finishing touches of my next AMV. I am probably going to do the final touch of it tonight since I am in the mood for finishing it.

    Mor eor less some scene changes. I guess the trick is not to be too critical of the AMV and just let it be since I mean I look at it and can't see any true things bad about it. The video quality and sound quality should have a problems since I got raw DVD footage using the guides to the word and my audio is straight from the album.

    If things go how I want them tonight then I will start on my next AMV tomorrow. If I finish it before June 7 then I will submit it, if not then I will submit it at Anime Evolution. I am not really caring I just wanto finish this AMV I am working on and be happy with it. If I am happy then I dont care about anything else. 
  • Living in the Zoo 2004-05-13 01:58:34 I finished my AMV howeve ri know it needs a whole lot more reworking, whatever I done with the AMV I done by instinct not exactly thinking. Watching it as is I know it wouldn't really stand a chance, not even make final cut. However after a few re edits I think it should be a ok AMV. I have to say its harder than I thought, I haven't truly made a action AMV from scratch since January 2002. Either way I don't know but I will just take it as it comes I guess.

    Well here is how my day has gone.

    I went to the gym and busted hard in there till I was utterly tired. Went home and waited for Toronto called. I told them what they needed to know and theyt old me what they needed to know however they said they would send me some info, however I haven't gotten it yet. I e-mailed some Grant MacEwan person about upgrading there then maybe getting right into their video editing/production class there. I haven't heard from them yet. Right now it seems its either Grant MacEwan or Toronto. I know Toronto will take me no matter what.

    If I decide to go to Toronto I may stay in Fort McMisery for awhile longer till the next course runs along. Worst case scenario, one year. If thats the case I may dump Animethon 11 (or at least appear there) and go right to Toronto. I may want to go to Animethon 11 (I want I always love being there) I dont want to stay in Fort Mac anymore than I have to. I guess it all depends on how things go.

    If I go to Grant MacEwan then hey great, I get to go to Animethon then after I will go and upgrade for the few months, then move right into video editing. If not at Grant MacEwan then at Sait.


    I think I will take a rest with the AMV making for awhile, till the new Scorpions album is in my hands so I can get that aggression back again.

  • 88% done the next brain child/some mind waste exposure 2004-05-11 03:37:56 The ideas for this AMV flow like a dam, I never thought about anything but action for this AMV and so far its looking very good. However taking the fact that I am making this too bloody fast. I know I am would be bound to make a mistake somewhere. Once I let instinct finish the AMV I will open back up the paranoid critic that lives inside me and try to add some sanity to this what I call insane AMV that looks more like a speed burst of adrenaline tied by living thread of some transitions (one I doubt has been used often in the AMV, for this one it serves a prupose in dicpiting something, not a special effect mor eor less). Instinct makes the AMV simple complete, my new self just builds upon whatever it feels needs to be done. Weird style but that may be just how I can get this bloody AMV done. I jus thope the ending part is not too violent to be excepted however i doubt it should be a problem I am using an anime thats rated for 12 years and up so I don't think I should be a problem.

    If I have enough time I may cook up another AMV, just so at the Animethon people dont think I am a freak through this AMV since I know after this one they will think so. I have another AMV, I planing to be a drama/comedy to a song of the opposite taste to show that yes I am still sane, maybe by a thread but still there. I haven't been this excited making an AMV in a long time I hope it keeps up. Its amazing wha tyou can do when you ar enot thinking about failure. My only mission to be back to how I used to be, one loud (music wise) AMV maker.

    However if I feel this AMV I am working on now will take the full month to really make perfect I will do so I can always save up the second one for Anime Evolution 2004, and offer dual AMVs at the contest. Which ever i dont really care.

    Its sad I can't be at Otafest I would have loved to se emy AMV and how it would match up against the others. The main part for its that I wont miss Animethon 11, I make sure to mark off at work that I get time off on those days.

    I guess I feel like KISS, saying its time to quit more times that I can count. Maybe its a way for me to motivate myself to make a lasting impression and I haven't found that yet. However a friend/co-worker gave me an awesome idea. However I told him I wont do it, at least not until I do Dante's Inferno AMV, if I can do that one then I would go for it. If I can do it then I know it would be time to quit (because after I did it I know I would have people hating me). I guess I just like making long AMVs.

    Bat Out Of Hell - Around 9 minutes
    Bat Out Of Hell 2 - I am sure I broke the record (at the time) for the longest AMV
    I would like to break my own record and maybe make a new one (if someone beat it) using "Dante's Inferno" which is a 16 minute song. Then if I can suceed that then I might as well go for the gusto.

    Oh well who knows, this is just my imagination runing wild on me, dont take it to truth at least not right now my mind is completely on two things. Caroline and the AMV I am working on. 
  • 46% done 2004-05-09 02:46:44 I started my AMV and within 2 hours I am nearly half done. I am going to put in a few more things in it and then I will do whatever. I am not saying anything I am practically winging it. Whatever I think of I put in, so far things look ok, a little weird. I am not thinking of anything but the AMV. Hopefully failure wont set in, like before I am going with whatever comes to mind while trying not to be sloppy. However the song I am using is definitely the heaviest I have used in years. Very long time.
     
  • Meeting metal/Just some self motivation 2004-05-08 04:17:40 Well its decided now that i have practically 1 month to make an AMV I have the anime. Now I am at a cross roads at what song I want to choose. Once I get the idea I am just runing with it and see how far I get with it so honestly. I have alot of choices, I want something that I can distinguish myself from everyone else with at Animethon 11, not to mention something that is in my comfort zone.

    I am sick of trying to be something I am not which is trying to use special effects to strive to be different. I have been watching alot of my old AMVs lately to get that "anger" back that I had so easily in those AMVs yet make them much more modern and better for me this time around. Its hard to explain, I feel that I need something with alot of Metal/Rock. For too long I have been listening to others. More or less Rubyeye, I respect his AMVs as a matter of fact i love them and wish my AMVs were like his but striving for that I practically cheated myself and ended up pissing on every AMV idea I had from then on out because they weren't original I put my expectations to high, not to mention paranoia of people not liking the AMV. I know those are the wrong things to think about but the shadow of failure has followed me since childhood and and the current events I have dealt with recently put more nails in the coffin.

    Honestly I dont care about being original anymore I feel I proved my point with originality over the years. I have nothing prove anyone now but tomyself that I still have it in me to make a great AMV, at least by my standards and thats all that matters. Take it anyway you want... here is my choices

    Halford (Silent Scream, Ressurection)
    Monster Magnet (Live For The Moment, Silver Future)
    Megadeth (something special, not the name of the song just a surprise if possible)
    Drowning Pool (Step Up)
    Sheryl Crow (the only non rock thing on this list)(Tomorrow Never Dies)
    Fight! (Into The Pit)
    SoulFly (Prophecy)

    I guess I hate to admit things but "I'm Still Here" I did look as testimate that I am still around, however while making the AMV I didn't think about it I thought about the plot of the AMV. I beleive thats how I should go through this. Lets just hope this old sheep can change its coat, unzip the constume and be the wolf that I know is there still. You can tell this sis self motivation for a guy whose faith right now in himself is as frail and tin foil.

    I am blaming no one for anything, if anything I blame myself, I just thank everyone on the forum who has helped me learn a few new tricks not to mention help me with problems since I am a guy who will always be technologically illiterate. I think its time to just let loose from what I think everyone will expect. A be back to the AC/DC of the forum, the never changing person. While never the artist of the group you know you can pop me in and know what you are getting.

    Well I am going to sleep, enough self motivation for the night.
