An update
2004-03-20 14:19:55
I am on a different computer right now.
Sent in my computer two days ago, still not word on whats going on. I doubt i wont get my computer back till the end of the month. Once I get back I will get on AMV making again. Till then I am taking a break from constant AMV making.
I have been striving for sleep for awhile and no matter how much I have gotten I feels like I haven't had any.
I dont know where I am standing right now I am just living. -
The search for the big one
2004-03-18 17:06:42
Well a night as passed and I see 15 people have seen my new hate AMV and right now its average is 3.33 stars. I have a feeling it will be lower once the average becomes more truer (which comes after a week or 2) I guess in the end it will end up being the worst one I have done in a long time. I can get over it, it just bewilders me that I can't get over 4 stars average on any of my AMVs.
Star Averages for all of the AMVs hosted
Cat Scratch Fever - 3.32
Bat Out Of Hell - 3.33
Voodoo - 2.91 (Currently the worst rating I have, not surprising since I put in my old version of it with bad quality and it was at my first year editing. Not to mention its the most under rated AMV I ever created)
Rally Ridin' - 3.00
Against The Wind - 3.41
A Boy Named Sue - 3.46
Only One Memory - 3.15
Victims Of Moira Syndrome - 3.19
History In Anime - 3.54
The World Was Never Enough: Case Study Of Gendo Ikari - 3.57 (strongest star rating)
I'm Still Here - 3.56 (second strongest)
Bat Out Of Hell 3 - 3.32
Everboy Hates Me - 3.33
My star average is 3.31. Which means my AMVs are ok but not great.
My average opinion wise shows much more better promise. it is of 95 people over the span of 3 years.
Original 8.33 (0.03 points above over all average of the community)
Capture 7.14
Sound 8.32
Action 7.54
Lip 5.39 (of course its my weakest attirbute in AMV making)
Effects 7.08
Effort 7.89
Review 6.87 (second worst in here, I can make AMVs but it seems they are only good for one viewing)(Corey feels like he wants to pull an Exorcist with his head)
Overall 7.51
In the end I am surprised History In Anime is getitng such good ratings, because I thought for the fact of it being in bad quality and alot of under layings of hidden humor (I am known for that, its only when I explain it myself people laugh) that most people would not mind it just not love it.
In the end I am still looking for my big one, with the Gendo AMV being the best of them, does that mean I make better AMVs while I am sick. Maybe I should just pick up SARS and then I can finally get a 4 star rating (just joking).
Dont mind me its just that I keep forgeting I can't satisfy everyone, or in my case its the same as my new AMV, I can't satisfy anybody with a godlike AMV. I am in constant search for the AMV that would be the greatest. oH well I should be happy at least I dont have anything under 2.5 as an average so that means I don't suck, well at least not to others. Oh well I just got to stick true to my style since I like it that way, nearly old school yet something of my own.
I am sending my computer to the shop again because my DVD player isn't working again, same goes for my CD burner this time. Not to mention my computer blanks out every once in awhile. -
Biting the hand that feeds me
2004-03-18 04:18:45
Finally released the "Everyboyd Hates Me" AMV. Just found out that the deadline for Animethon 11's AMV contest is May 31st. That makes me happy because that gives me more time to polish what AMVs I am doing. However i hope I keep a good mood throughout definitely after the contest. As well all know competition brings the worst out of me, espacially losing. I would hate to win just for the fact that everyone was sick of me crying i honestly like all the AMVs I seen there (except the Alternate Reality one, it was funny but just overkill long and beating a joke to death by the end). I just hope I dont be a sore loser and just keep my love for AMV making more than winning strong. Right now I am just excited for AMV making and seeing the crowd reaction to them. Hopefully I will be able to do better. Tomorrow I am planing one project i am not too sure will be accepted mostly because it will be a horror, using a new Black Jack DVD entitled "Infection" I have been thinking of making a sequel to my under rated AMV "Victims Of Moira Syndrome". It will all depend I guess on what transpires. Either way I am totally excited for the AMV contest. As for will my friend be with me this time. I doubt it, sort of feeding off "I'm Still Here" AMV he left the AMV arena and has joined another friend doing GMVs (game music videos). I would love for RJ (Shadow Productions) to kick back into high gear and make an AMV again (for those at Animethon 10 he was the one wearing a black trench coat), he hasn't made an AMV in years but never say never. Either way I have a feeling I will be going alone this time, oh well most of what I do I do alone anyway.
With the hate AMV done I am clearing my drive for raw clips and preping for the next adventure/AMV. Well till next time.

New AMV done
2004-03-16 14:56:31
"Everybody Hates Me" is finished, well in most ways yes, I just want to fix the lip sync more which shouldn't take long, make it as good as I can get it then probably release it tomorrow.
Then its back to holy wars.
Just wanted to say that here. -
The pains of lip sync
2004-03-16 02:18:59
Oh how I hate lip sync, or at least doing it, I know I suck every time and eveyr time I try to attempt it, it always looks worse than imagined. I guess sort of goes with my newest AMV that right now I am literally finished, the only thing that makes it not is the sync, using an mp3 (best quality I can find) the song like to skip when in preview not to mention its hard to dictate where soudn waves actually are. For the past 3 hours I have been moving one scene around back and forth, then producing it which takes nearly 20 minutes just to find out that i nee dto move it again. Yes all pains of AMV making I know. This AMV is supposed to be a comedy about hate, and quite honestly its bring more hate to me than smiles however the ending still brings a smile to myself no matter how pissed off I am..... Even Spot.
Anyways I want to start working on Holy Wars again but if I dont ge tmuch ideas floating back then I may do something else.
Either way its back to the cutting room.
