Inside Out by Eve 6

Still sick yet again, and nothing has changed I still dont have tank police file on my computer, which angers me as well. One thing I am happy about is .............. 2010 Olympic Games will happen in Vancourver!
One guy on the forum said Fuck Canada, well from a Canadian to the guy/girl who said that, no FUCK YOU!
I am excited about ANimethon 10 to see how my AMV sizes up against the competition I know I will be stomped by Rubyeye and the person who made the AMV "Black Black Heart", but I am interested about everyone else from the typical newbie snots who use Linkin Park for everything under the sun espacially Dragon Ball Z to the other people who may or may not be a threat to me. I am trying not to be confident because lets face it I never won an award for any AMV I ever did in the two years I have done this stuff I dont think it wills tart but hey it could (knock on wooden desk).
I guess the Cat Scratch Fever project will be scrapped if I cant get it done before Animethon 10, because I will for sure work on the SWORDS project once I get home.
I will work on the SWORDS project for the rest of summer, and all of fall, possibly get it done by October, I plan on just taking my time. Maybe after I finish the video I will get back to CSF remake and do it without any problems. I really do hate my computer, which reminds me, Sony sucks at making DVD-ROMs -
Some problems
2003-06-27 10:10:25
I should have been done my remake of Cat Scratch Fever AMV awhile ago but some problems arised.
One I guess was the constant errors I got from Adobe now I know everyone has it and it was common place but I felt this wasn't the run of the mill errors that everyone got because it only happened when I was slowing or speeding up clips. So with many decision I thought it was time to upgrade from my Windows Me to Windows XP since it got some good reviews. Now that I have it things seem to be running smoothly.
Two I was gonna format all of my drives and put whatever I needed saved on my shared drive with the other computer upstairs thats my parents (the old one i used to use). All has been sucessful and most of the Dominion Tank Police clips have been brought back just two remain because of network problems, those two clips that wont transfer back are vital tot he AMV sadly enough, but in the end they all are.
Three, sick fricken again. I thought I was finally out of the illness lineup. I was for the month of May and most of June but then bang I am back being ill again this time with a sore throat and a head flu. But it isn't as bad as the old ones. Just weird because rarelly ever get sick. Most of the time I only get sick once or twice a year, no more. Here we are half way in 2003 and I have had 2 serious colds, and a 5th day headflue with sore throat. Who knows maybe its just my luck.
Once everything is back in order I will get back to work on the CSF remake. I want to finish remaking it by Animethon 10 after that I will be working on another BIG project that I hope will work, but it may or may not it all depends I guess.
Things are turning sad for the internet, the corparate suits of Capitalist dictatorship of North America (Canada and USA) are sick and tired of people getting files for free and not paying them for it. They seem to want to hunt down as many as they can and file law suits for them. Damn I hope they got enough money to support all the lawyers they are gonna need. Good thing I don't have KaZaa anymore since I had to delete it because of the formating. But honestly this shows how greedy and lazy corparations can get. I know there reasons and while they are good reasons there are also alternatives. The world is changing and the world will always change, people will always try to find a way to get things for free as easy as possible. Yes i beleive there are some that deserve to get sued people who download music and not give a damn about the musicians who bust their ass to make that music, just as long as they have it. I think they should be sued because they are too cheap to support the band and buy their album.
I on the other hand use MP3s as a way of getting into new bands or listening to new music from new albums to see if they are good. I use mp3s to help me decide to buy albums. Before mp3 sharing was around I bought around 3 to 4 CDs a year why because I knew Much Music and MTV were bias towards music and I pretty much had to fend for myself and others opinion. After MP3 file sharing came around it went up to 10 to 15 CDs a year, the net got me into many bands. If youe ver came downt o my house nearly 60% of my CD collection I got with the help of MP3s on the net. It helps me decide if a product is worth buying.
I think that these capitalists should stop crying over spilt milk and work around it. Look at Metallica's new album for instance. While the album maybe lack lusterit doesn't matter. Some companies are adding more than music to the sale of an album, they are adding bonus features that cant be found on the net so easily. Honestly that is where they should go society is merely making them just just as it has been for years I think the music industry should continue to do this to keep the money in.
But that is only my opinion, no one listens to me.
It is rather sad that one of my favorite AMV makes Rubyeye is quitting for awhile, I may have been doing AMVs slightly longer than him but he has made AMVs that pretty much make mine look like shit (lets face it everythignb efore 2003 was shit in some ways no matter how hard I tried). He got me into Queensryche, Nightwish, Key The MEtal Idol, and 3x3 Eyes. He will be missed, I do agree witht him that AMVs today seem to lack originality. I haven't downloaded as much AMVs this year as I have last year at the same time. The only times where I have downloaded something was for in review. I have to say the AMV work is having a recession in my opinion. The great AMV creators have stopped for good or not while the beginners are learning I think it is a good and bad thing. Good because no longer will they dominate over everyone because of their popularity, bad because now there are not there as a measuring stick for others to get better (like me).
When Rubyeye said most AMVs today suck I guess i felt heart broekn abecause lets face it I take things to heart I thought he was also implying by my work. Who knows but I dont care what anyone says I work my ass off on my AMVs and if no one likes them then tough shit. If I like them that is the maint hing. While others quit and times I threaten to quit I guess I can't just part of the Bussey blood in me, the fact of being so dead on stubborn. I am too stubborn to quit.
But hey that is only what I think right there. Right now I got bigger fish to fry like getting to work, getting rid of my illness and finish Cat Scratch Fever to the best of my ability.
Till next time see ya. -
I'm Gettin' Cat Scratch Fever/ I am old school and I love it.

Well I spent the day sleeping in (first time in weeks), then I watched Black Heaven and Wolf's Rain for the first time and I like them. I spent working on Cat Scratch Fever for an hour and a half. Right now I am 30% done the AMV, I started work on it a week ago, i am taking my time with this AMV, working on it bits and a time. I got to go to work in a half an hour. After Sunday it is test time, with alot of tests so for the rest of June I will be either
weight lifting (training)
working
Sutdying
Doing Exams
or working on Cat Scratch Fever revamped.
Honestly I am starting to get back in the fun groove i had when I made AMVs, for the past year making AMVs fel tmor elike a chore than a fun thing. That was what I missed about the old days when I made AMV, dispite I made 50 in one year, the thing was I was having fun. I am trying to be critical with my AMVs while having fun at the same time with this one. That is my main goal with CSF, it was always a have fun AMV and I am trying to have fun doing it. When I do it I don't expect and don't really care if anyone reviews it, this AMV is not to be taken serious. Anyone who comes into this AMV looking to find weaknesses and tell me how I can make AMVs better is not getting the message I want from the AMV. The AMV is merely, watch and enjoy, nothing more nothing less. That is the old moto I used to have, dont like it, delete, enjoy it then hey thats fine with me. But does that mean I will go back on my AMV a week role, no I doubt I could ever do that again I have hammered finese into my head it is impossible for me to make AMVs at fast rate. I will finish Cat Scratch Fever when I can watch the whole AMV and enjoy because nowadays I have figured its pretty obvious, you can't satisfy everyone so try and satisfy as much as you can while above all else, make it an AMV you enjoy above anyone else and i feel that is the better part of it all. Tha tis one thing I have lost lately the fact of making an AMV I like, I have been trying to make AMVs lately that I thought others would enjoy, so people would give me some recognition but, its obvious it wont work so screw I am going to make AMVs I can enjoy myself. I should be done the AMV probably by the end of June, maybe sooner, maybe later pending on how much free time I have, it wont be an AMV shot full of special effects like from everyone else I see, it is a old fashioned AMV, just the way I like it. -
Well well well

My temper has gone, had a few good days and I have decided a few things. Since exams will be running most of my time I wont be working on anything extensively. Since I have the Dominion Tank Police DVD I was bored I looked over at it and said "Well I dont know how I can make my old EVA AMVs any better, why not Tank Police"
I will revamp the old Tank Police AMVs I made.
I will revamp Cat Scratch Fever (one of my old favorites I can still watch it and enjoy it) since I done it two 1/2 years ago with VHS footage now I can revamp it with DVD quality as well as fix newbie mistakes that I made at the time as well as the ones I made while using Video Wave 4, now that I know how to use Adobe more. I might just keep it the way it is, old school as it is, I am starting to get back in my old school acting I am sick and tired of trying to satisfy the new age critics, I ams ticking with a style I like, old school which means no so many special effects to hell. That is why I love Cat Scratch Fever it looked good without it, it was alla bout fun, I think that is what i need to do.
Then after remake the old Living After Midnight, make it how it should have been but when I made it I was still learning how to use Adobe.
Oh yea, the new Akira DVD has the worst dubs since LA Blue Girl, speaking of LA Blue Girl I ams urprised people still remember that, I guess i cringe at the thought of it like a bad shadow, I made it becaus emy friend nagge dme to do it and i thought it was a good idea, so me and him done this AMV, maybe maybe someday I will make it more better but I haven't watch that stuff ever since I finished the AMV, weird who knows the AMV made me stop, its amazing all my AMVs combined couldn't match the hits,downloads and opinions that X In Sex had, I guess it shows sex sells. I wish they would give the same consideration.
Watching this new Akira i like to new quality but I really do wish they had old dub on it, I dont care what anyone says I loved the old dub for Akira it was awesome dubbing, this new one just stinks. I bought the new DVD because I couldn't get the VHS anymore, at least just to watch the only one that is at the rental store is so old and busted that it doesn't work half the time, that is why if you watched my old Sweating Bullets video it is very shaky. SInce I got the AKira DVD I WILL remake Sweating Bullets, I think that AMV had alot of potiential to be a good AMV was just that i was a newbie and I sucked at AMV making. I will do all of this in time.
I am planing on working on my SWORDS Project after Animethon 10, my friend RJ(SHadow Productions, he has stopped making AMVs now, he made only two AMV,s they were good, he also colaborated with me on Moto Psycho for Tank Police which I may remake as well) is allowing me to borrow his Kenshin and Bastard DVDs so I can get some sword footage off them for my sowrds homage AMV that I hope would be the enima of the AMV world or at least in my mind.
I wont be working on the SWORDs project till then so while then I will just do what I can with the time.
I was thinking of doing a side project with one scene in Akira, sort of a parody I wanted to do it as a contingency plan for Aniemthon 10 but I couldn't find the Akira DVD at the time, ironic it comes now when it is too late. I am planning on selling all of my anime VHS so I can buy some of them back on DVD. I have a few sellers at Animethon 10 but nothing much.
Wait a minute I know that voice, that voice is the Kiyone fromt he Tenchi shows, at least they have one good voice actress in Akira. I wouldn't mind being a voice actor if I dont become a prowrestler or video editor (god forbid) I wouldn't mind being one but tha tis all talk and that is all I cna say now, just go to school and then hit the gym and then work and then if time any AMV work if I feel like it. Well they kept on old dub actor from the beginning from the old man. oh I got to shut up, I yap too much on the internet too bad my social skills in reality are as bad as my typing skills. -
I guess the truth hurts

I guess I have been ranting about how I thought my AMV was pretyt good and after today I realized that it may be good but no where near perfection. Sort of jamed into me that if there is one part thing i need to develop it is my lip sync because I guess it really ruins my over mark. HonestlyI can watch the video and see nothing wrong (except the lip synce of course) but its all a matte rof opinion and I am sort of glad that i am getting a different point of view. Its always nice to recieve nice reviews but I know sort of lesser good reviews are needed to help me learn. While I know I have gone quite a bit I sitll got a long way to go before I can make something worth anyones time. Well at least I came out of the day watching two good AMVs from two guys that did review my AMV. I wonder what they would have though about my other one I guess who knows. Right now I got to do an essay (ack) then after I can sit down and drink a smirnoff ICE and breath in the last bit of the weekend that is left. Knowing my weaknesses really makes me feel more negative coming into the Animethon 10 because I am competiting against one of the AMV makers I look up to (Rubyeye) and an AMV that is the best DBZ AMV I have seen in years. My chances look slim but they always have, all I got to do is learn I guess.
As for AMV status I have decided what I will remake I will remake what I consider one my my greatest AMV mistakes my "Pentiums" AMV, it had much potiential it is just I didn't have enough experience to break it too the limits I can now. I can try and make it much more better now since I got much more ideas about it and I know my way around the special effect board than I did when I made this AMV almost 2 years ago. After that I will decide what is next. I am currently selling all of my VHS anime so I can buy them back on DVD, once I do then I will have a chance to remake more of them.
There are a few new ideas floating around in my head I still have the Dirty Deeds AMV in my head but I cant follow through with it unless I can get a "working" DVD rip of the first golgo 13 video but the one at the rental store didn't work so well. Once i ge tmy pay check I will most likely make another donation around July. I plan on leaving my job and tried to ge tmore hours somewhere else than where I am at now. I am planning on buying Ranma season 5 box set since I already have 2,3 and 4, as well as the OVA. I jus tneed season 1,6 and the last DVD on Ranma season 7, since I only wanted DVDs that have Ryoga playing a distinct role in it since I plan on remaking Bat Out Of Hell 2.
I am sort of second guessing why I brought out Only One Memory and Voodoo since they were made almost two years ago, dont have good video quality and are ripe for someone to put them down (everyone puts down Voodoo yet I think its a great AMV just misunderstood)
I guess i should shut up now.
