News tha tmay not be important
2002-04-10 22:47:19
Well ever since the last update I have prety much been tyring to reinvent myself when it come sto AMV making, thinking and learning ways to make my AMVs better as well as looking for an video editing program better than Adobe, I honestly hate Adobe, it has been giving me errors and screwing up my reworks making it almost impossible for me to rework my Victims Of Moira Syndrome AMV. I am int he market for looking for other video editors that have the storyboard much like Adobe and a efficent speed up or slow down clip peice in it like Adobe's program but the ease of my old Video Wave 4.0 but that might be impossible. If I cant find a right one I will stick with Adobe and try to deal with it, or I would retire. Funny it seems the best complement I ever had has just came to irony. Rubyeye thought I remindded him of Dave Mustane of Megadeth. I sort of agreed in many ways but ironically enough Dave Mustane just quitted Megadeth and the grest Megadeth is dead now. Now where does this leave me, because I feel the exact way. Crippled because I have ha dnothing but problems with programs and DVD ripping, etc. I dont want to quit but I might just have to. One way or th eother I will finish the Ryouga Project that I have been planing for 9 months after I finish reworking. On the lighter side I have gotten back my happier mood with AMVs, I used to be turning into a souless critic like some of the AMV creaors around. I just watch them to have fun and if they don't give me a reaction then I don't like it, and most of the ones I picked have been quite good or at least my opinion.
I like chinese for Ranma
Brakish for FLCL
Big Fat Money for Cowboy Bebop
This how you remind me of who I am for Cowboy Bebop
Mr.Roboto for FLCL
Baby Nights for Tenchi Muyo
And many others. Have been getting many ideas that spawn outside of anime as well as inside but time will tell if I do anything right now. I will guess I will keep you posted if there is any reall huge news from me but that is pretty much it. - unexpected 2002-03-04 20:24:54 I wan't expecting to put an entry int he journal for a long while till I had news to give but it seems that my host is not gone. Well the person who is giving Popndeth the web space and etc cancelled his account so now his site is completely down I think and so are the hosts on it. Which include my AMVs so my AMVs are not going to be up any time soon so I am going to remove them till I know that they are stable, either that or they will never come back up again. And th eonly way for you to get my AMVs is through WinMX and Direct Connect. If you ar elooking for news, I will soon be reworking on my Black Jack AMV (probably take a month or more), then maybe my Patlabor AMV(same). After that I will start work on my Ryoga AMV (which will begining in long time so dont worry about that one if you did). So when I thought things could not get any worse with my feelings today I get blown with another problem well shit happens and I am going to deal with it, I always do.
- one thing 2002-02-07 14:00:34 big shot doesn't mean BigShotSpike is who I was talking about, never met him so when I talked about the "big shots" in AMV I didn't mean him bI ment some AMV creators who take liberties to make other beginers look bad, sorry if I did offend him, I didnt mean to.
- "The End" by The Doors or "Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns And Roses, hey I feel both 2002-02-07 03:48:13 The past few days have been interesting, a mix of warm words by people who do know how I feel by getting mistreaten by some of the AMV community's "Big Shots". Some I guess just take more libertys to make haste of these bad days. Hey I guess it may be good news for some I have been thinking of quiting this hobby because of reasons that it aint worth it but hey everyone gets insulted, everyone gets complemented, just depends on the person on how they take it if they do something about it, take it, or run away from it. Honestly I havent been doing any of it. Just wondering what to do. Many have said they can tyr and help me, send them my video and havent heard from them since, hey I guess I am a man made insult to the AMV community am I, I think a opinionator said it best "with more practise, this creator could create some very good works" no offense to that guy since I know he is just trying to make a honest opinion. I guess that is how most of the opinions but then hey I wont spend my time wondering. I have been thinking fo rmonths on what song I was going to use for my Ryoga video. I finally decided but I have a few problems. Realplayer is the format 90% of my Ranma episodes are. I ask if anyone could help with my video out problems, what do I get? No messages or messages making me look like a dead beat or idiot. I guess it is kind of hard to mak emy AMVs better when no one helps me but I guess like everyone else I have done in my life I have to do myself with no help. Honestly I have been thinking I should hav enever gotten Studio DC10plus because it has a shitty way of video out. When I have my ATI All-In-Wonder Rage 128 it had easy capture, easy video out. The only down side form it is that it gave crappy picture quality. But in my opinion picture quality only depends on the viewer. Some people(like me) beleive that as long as they can see it and understand it, then it is ok. While others seem that everything should be a masterpeice, everything should be masteruflly perfect. Well no matte rhow many times i think I got a good peice of work it is only to be labeled as a peice of shit. Well I guess this makes it the end or just a good friend gesture welcome to the AMV community(jungle). I aint giving up on my Ryoga video, it just as might well be my last but once I get started I am going to try my hardest(take that anyway you want since I know most of you think thats bullshit but hey what can Is ay to those dickheads.). The for th epast week I have spent getting up, going to work, getting home and spend a few hours visualizing what I would do with this last(maybe) AMV and I guess I will keep on doing so till I fix the problems. If I cannot find a way to use Studio DC10plus to output to VCR, or to convert realplayer files into AVIs or anything editable I will go back to my good ol' ATI AIW RAGE 128 and do it that way. Thne do the AMV to the bes tof my abilities and do what I can with it and not even bother getting anyones help because no one wants to except Shadow and maybe it will be a peic eof work I could finally be appreciated for, or just another video to medicorized by the "big shots" around here. Dont mean to offend anyone who has helped me(they should know who they are) as for the others who did mean to offend me I guess you take it anyway you like. I dont feel like wasting my words with the journal anymore. I might come back on here to give news to the people who are curious but dont expect to much from me, no one else did.

Is it just me or is everyone trying to piss me off
2002-01-31 14:56:17
I got to get some stuff off my chest right now... so if you are not looking to read a long statement steer clear because this one is long. Since I am sick and tired of trying to be a nicey nice guy around here its time I blew out some long awaited anger.
The past few days I have been riding the border of wanting to smash something and play Slayer music and mosh in my basement or being just normally happy. The beginning of last week I spent 3 hours a day for 5 days trying to fix the look of my AMV since many complain about my video quality, so using ErMaC's TMPG thing I done so. When I finished going through it it had prblems. After dealing with these problems and still not getting results I come into bad reviews for people who honestly in my opinion do not understand the statements I made in videos. But I still stood tall in it and I never let that get to me, then when I was sick of trying to fix the video quality to my videos and failing I was ready to send my AMVs to Popndeth in maybe hope he could host them. We had a discussion about my ammount of video saying I was a insult to the AMV community. I respect the guy and his views and I try not to be an antagonist around here but I honestly think I never think I done nothing to anybody here (or at least try to). In fact I honestly think I never was part of the AMV community and dont think I ever will. After losing more than all my videos in hosting to only 13 (the other two I will be reworking on sometime) of my AMVs. There are reasons why I chose those thirteen. I chosen the videos that I felt most proud of, of course there were more videos I liked as well but I can chose them all. Most of all of the AMVs I felt I worked hardest on people thought they sucked and random edititng and didnt have much work put into it and that pisses me right off the breaking point.
Two Minutes To Epyon - About the Epyon controling Heero movements and how Heero completes the eypon in my opinion as a monster. And as the video goes along he destryong opponents left and right while Heero (like me) boarders from getting controlled by Eypon and going in full rage to fully controlling the Epyon and protecting innocent lives. But of course in my mind I knew after making this video that I was completely satisfied with what I done and set out to do, its obvious no one else did. Saying I used random clips with this is hard to beleive since I have a little supply of Gundam episodes except for Eypon clips which I only had maybe 4 episodes with him in it so I had to use what I had and it wasn't that much since the Eypon only battle once in awhile.
Moto Psycho - Me and my friend Shadow made this video because both of us had this idea for the song to use it for Leona where the song spoke about her itself. Being a no bs video shows why she is a Moto Psycho. We agreed that first I do the video how I would do it and after I finish he would then redo the video and see how he could made it better and after taking turns for many much hours we got it done and we were both satisfied. Of course it didn't mode to well with most people here I guess like always.
Enter Orsen - One of my personal favorite videos to one of my personal favorite anime character. I wanted this video to be very deep into the subcousious of Orsen, the music perfectly amplifiying his rages and the lyrics speak "Exit Light" mean the fading away of his self control(like me right now) "Enter night" enter the spirit of rage to control him and to go beserker (ironic isn't it). As the song weakens and get softer ends the anger weakens. I can talk about more of things I done with that video but I know I am wasting my time. This video of course is not understandable it seems to some people. Saying I used random clips with this is hard to beleive since there is not many appearences of action with Orsen in it so I had to work with what I had.
Against The Wind - One video that I guess moves with the love trend around here that it actually got a good review (for now) because the video was easy to understand and not hiding something beneith the video itself that only viewer can figure out that hiden message that only the creator knows. This didnt have one it was plain and simple showing the love raltionship through Parn's toughts of Deedlit. The song reminded me of their hardhsips had a really good idea and at that time I wanted to show that I could make something good, trie dmy hardest in this video, only got one good review and nothing else but then hey everyone soon will say I never tried at all.
Voodoo - If there is one videot hat I tried to make bluntly clear to what its all about its this one. I am very proud of this video but this video seems to have gotten nothing but bad reviews. I mean its freedome of speech and I know that and I have nothing against what they think about my videos, that is fine. But some people said I used random clips, didnt try very much which really pisses me off again because with this video I spent a month before planing this damn video at school or any other time writing beside the lyrics of what scenes would I use with what. COming in to do Voodoo I knew where to put the scenes and when. And didnt try well I wont get into discussion but that is not even true towards me.Saying I used random clips with this is hard to beleive since I knew what I was going to do when I was going to do it. As for the Slayers OVA I struggled since I didnt have barelly anything with Slayers OVA, though I just wanted scenes with Naga interacting with Lina, a scene with her laughing and something else that would fit in well. So if there was only one scene with a random clip it was the one with Naga doing the ground blast but that is pretty much it.
I Am Zelgadis - A video tribute of Zels ince no one else did before me and shown Zel in action, why hard as a rock song well because Zel has skin of rock in some ways and that his hair is of wire. An dhe hits like a rock and his kicks ass this was the video that I would have agreed a little bit more to with random clips. When I came into this video I didnt very well plan it I just went it and seen how far could I go with this video and after working hours on it I came up with a good video in my opinion trying to make it a comedy action with Zel saying at points he is harder than a rock as well as Lina. The only other Zel video I see is another guys video where he pretty much takes my whole AMV and takes the intro, entro and music from it and put in another song and then boom he has his own Zel video. I consider that somewhat of a complement right now event hough before I thought it was a insult. If someone covers my work to their satisfcation, I must be doing something good.
Bat Out Of Hell - Bar none one of my greatest creations at that time and I think it still stands out. Saying never tired with this video is nonesense because how could I not be trying when I worked week after week witht his damn video. And with my editing program it didn't help much. no one ever thought of making videos about 7 mins before mine I think. After Bat Out Of Hell I seen mor epeople try to pull it off. I took a song and a anime that have barelly anything inc ommon except for what I seen in it. Which was like the littlest hobo. The dog comes into town and solves the villagers problems, everyone thinks he is a problem more. But in the end of the show they all grow attached to him but then he has to leave. I can spend the whole day explaining the reasons for doing what I did with this video but I wont. this one I have gotten pretty much some good reviews. One I think said something that he knows I tried but I just couldnt pull of a AMV like that but I tried. I can except that but who knows what others might think of it.
These Eyes - For people who do know pet shop of horrors and knows the episode about the former movie star whos love for reptiles has him being lonely and goes to the shop and gets a woman who is part reptile and part woman but with a few rules. The biggest one is that you can never look into her eyes, that is why she was blind folded. "You gave a promise to me, yeah, and you broke it, you brok it" was the promise to never look at each others eyes. These eyes having both of them long for each other, throughout the video I sink at the feelings toward the guy then slip into the thoughts of the girl. Sometimes leav eyou to guess which one is thinking what. This never got any reviews but I can only guess it would get some bad ones but I do not care I am truely proud of what I done with this one. Saying I used random clips with this is hard to beleive since I only had one episode to work with because that was the whole story in one episode.
Living Dead Rei - The video I find has so many hidden and up front messages that I wouldnt want to bore you with explaining them. I fyou know the song and know Rei you would know this video. I wanted a video that wasn't like "I Think I'm A Clone Now" or "Frozen" I liked those AMVs but I wanted something different and thats what I did with this AMV.
A Boy Named Sue - Another AMV where I set out to make a statement. I thought this one was a great AMV but then like always it wasn't well recieved and people say they dont understand the connection. That is the point I altered the anime to reflect the song's storya nd I thought I done exactly that. Saying I used random clips with this is hard to beleive since I had barelly anything to work with when it comes the guy I chose to be Sue.
Humans Being - my 50th video, take that peice of information any way you can since everyone else has. Tried hard on this video, got a perfect rating but I know some people are just dying to flame me for this video. Even though I used a rarelly used anime with a rarely used band and I made magic and I love the video. Shows the main characters trying to save mankind, they are men that look human but are generators and not as humans as the people they save. But they want to save the humans to show they are more human than their own kind. Thus being the song humans being and I felt the song enforced the actions of the whole show, I wanted this to be about Ryo and Koji but in the end I decided it was best to include Gawl in it even though I had plans for him in Memory Remains but since that AMV woyuld just be about him going beserk in one episode I thought I could use the battles of him in former episodes. Take this video anyway you see fit but saying I didnt try making this video is a bunch of bullshit.
Only One Memory - With this video I had a hard time with it because one episode and a bit from another I had to work with what I had but still show greatness. I just to have the music blend in with the anime again with big hits go with crashes as well as explosions and developments of Gawl's body to the rythum. Never got a review for this AMV but then I know it just might as well be a bad one since I get it often. I like this video because the reason why I made this video was to test my own AMV making abilities.
Wet Obsession - My X In Sex video is one video that many love to hate, hate because they think its a badly edited video with not storyline and so on. While I garuntee the majority of people downloaded it just to see hentai. I wanted to make a prono AMV with just straight out sex with a punch line in it if you understand it is from Kogusuman's (If thats how you spell his name) point of view, that is why you seem him through most of the AMV Except for when the blond and blue haired girl done it. When I apporached this AMV I wanted this to be the anti porn AMV. That it actually has a storyline to it an dif you dont understand it then who knows. I created this video to send fast paced messages and someone growing ones, "I just wanna get soak and wet" every time the singer says that it shows main character in his infamous bubble bath scene with a girl. The video explains for himself, but then hey sex sells usually, I like this vidoe but I thought I suceeded in making a hentai AMV more than just a hentai AMV.
My two newest AMV "Vitims Of Moira Syndrome" and "Sounds Of War 2: Rush Of Adrenaline" have already been done for a little while. I will re make them with the help of POpndeth, send the videos to him and se eif he can point out what I am doing wrong, since I make AMVs with my own style but people dont seem to get the style and I dont see why. Maybe someone can for once point it out to me. Hopefully when these videos and been completed after editing to hell they will be better appreicated around here. But me being the Rodney Dangerfield of this place I highly doubt it. But I will give it a shot. I am going to work, then come back and start.
