JOURNAL: MetalWolf (Corey )

  • Only 13 AMV right now are hosted 2002-01-30 22:06:38 After talking with Popndeth we agree that only as of righ tnow 13 of my AMV are going to be hosted, my two new AMVs SOW2:ROA an Victims Of Moira Syndrome will be hosted in due time. But I will work on them again with the help of Popndeth to make them better. Maybe I will start tonight but I do not know I am tired after work today. I could start tonight who knows.  
  • Errors 2002-01-19 14:32:11 Well I woke up today to check out my AMV database to see if anyone opinionated or gave errors while I slept. Found that there are errors on five of my AMV said by Proxy and catsaregood . Well Proxy usually tells me of errors very often and like always I download my own video and look at them. And just like today I did so again and I found no problems downloading them, the only problem I have is that every once in a while I watch any video clip blue or any certainc olor scanlines appear on my windows media player or real one player. But that scanline stuff shouldn't appear on my AMVs (like how I see them) because they were all made and produced before I even heard of the problem. Doctor is the one where I found out about it and I used the filter in it and it removed it. How I see it must be that if Iwork too much with video stuff my video card gets tired and shells out this scanlines stuff. I just restart and I dont see it anymore. Means I have to be more awaare of it when I am in Adobe but still. As for my errors int he links, I think the server was down awhile ago (just a guess) now when I just used it (and worked) it seems to be working again so I see no errors now. 
  • Mind Crime 2002-01-18 01:22:52 Well after finishing the Carnival Of Consequences AMV that I have been planing on doing for a long time. I done it and added many things, working on it till I found it was all I could do and I still wasn't satisfied with the work. Sent it to my trust AMV test Shadow Productions and I haven't got the opinion from him. In my opinion this AMV deserves to be scraped. Well that was a week ago and I haven't thought of making any AMVs since then. Mostly just sit down and just shoot the breeze and worry about my school work. This weekend I might start on another AMV slowly but maybe. As of righ tnow I am watching a DVD called "Queensryche Operation:LIVE Mindcrime" very good performance. As of right now I am taking a rest from AMVs and the status quo, once I feel like it I will work on one. As for my former ones being hosted, hey maybe if people want it too be. So far I ams till impressed with myself on my Doctor video which my friend Shadow beleives is the "kick to the balls of Metal Wolf's critics". As of right now I am just going to lay back and think what I could do for my next AMV either that or just watch Queensryche. cya 
  • many many problems, many questions with no answers to them 2002-01-06 02:18:18 Well after finished my The Doctor Is Calling video I am still trying to figure out how to get rid of scanline son that AMV but I still can't figure it out mostly. So I just left it alone (know if I do get it hosted I will be bombed at by many that it ruins it is bad). I looked at Ermac's guide of scanlines and I tried to lower the resolution. But it dont seem to work. I will keep trying though hopefully it will work. As for that I have another problem which lies on video out. Since two of my relatives who like my AMVS(surprising I know) want me to update their movie (movie full of my old AMVs when I had ATI All In Wonder Rage 128) but since I do not know how to work Studio DC10plus and the instruction booklet don't help either. I tseems the only way for this to work is in themake a movie section. What I do is put all the AMVs that I made that ar enot on the movie already and then make the movie, wait a few hours only to find on my TV screen picking up what the VCR sees is a grey screen that has black lines flicking on it, I tried recording anyway and it still is like that and the sound is just as bad as the picture. That is one thing that I like about ATi All In Wonder, it was so easy to to do video in stuff(record clips) and easy to do video out stuff (take AMVs off the computer and record off VCR). I have thought of DVDs but since my relatives don't have a DVD player that leaves me in a nich. If there is a easier way it would be quite appeaciated if someone could tell me. I have also recorded clips for my next AMV but since the clips I record didn't look so good (the tape I record off of is pretty old but can't find the anime anywhere so I have to deal with it). After deleting those clips I just felt that I should take a rest from AMV making again. It seems to be to agrivating for me sometimes. So I am putting my next AMV aside and see if I can figure out how to fix the scanline problems. As for that I got christmas homework to do (haven't done it yet, except for the math).

    On a happier note I watched a good AMV today, since I liked Carlos Corral's Goldeneye AMV I seen that he made another Golgo 13 AMV to The World Is Not Enough. After watching it I have to say it is a damn good AMV. Nuclear Tuxedo Production Team's No Leaf Clover video is pretty good to. 
  • Rodney Dangerfield of AMVs 2001-12-30 23:44:10 Well it seems that things are quite foggy for me. I am sitting around listening to "Iron Fist" by Motorhead. My Adobe Premiere don't work, my body is sore from all the working out I have been doing. And I am getting insulted by AMV creators. Well honestly for the past year I have been shot at with every single attack of insults, stupid music, bad video quality (sorry but money don't grow trees, if they did I would be a typical lumberjack.). Also saying all this other shit. Well when at many times I have tried to correct mistakes it seems the more people will slam insults at me. People say I do not try hard enough in which I say that is honest bullshit. Honestly in my opinion it makes me think that AMV making aint worth it when people from the AMV world can be a bunch of critics. Honestly the thing is I like how I make my AMVs, I try and make them better but it never satisfies people so honestly if that is the thing then so be it. Because I am still sitting here still thinking the same mentality I had when I began "I make AMVs because I enjoy it, if people like my AMVs well then hey that is good for them, if they don't like it then hey don't watch it ever again I ain't stopping you.". It seems that this place is becoming more like the music business I find that there is always someone who has to be the brace of everyones insults if that brace is me then yet again so be it. It seems that AMVs are like essays for me nowadays. When I began doing essays in my class for my teacher Mr.Miller I made essays in which I thought were good. For two years of being in his classes I enjoyed the class because it was a no bull shit class meaning no slacking off, when I did essays my own typical way I always got good marks because he said my originality and ideas are good(in my opinion that refect my AMVs, I use music that many think are too old or would not bother using) when put towards common day disscussions (in this case would be sometimes over used anime and some be under used anime) . Now I have a different teacher in which looks as my essays as crap of course I get high marks in originality and ideas but when it comes to grammar, sentance structure I lack very badly. So I honestly look at AMVs much like essays and vise versa no matter how much I try I dont get anywhere. From a point I liked making essays to the point where it makes me think why should I make essays because all I will get is a 50% or fail because originality and ideas don't fit to some people. So I then decided fuck the teacher, fuck critics I make them both essays and AMVs because it is how i enjoy doing it, if I get better I get better, if I get worse then I stop and refect on it. Which shows that teachers reflect people when watching my AMVs one person may look for one thing which maybe different from the next teacher. For example my teacher Mr.Miller looked for the straight answer either black or white when my newer teacher there are many shades of gray just depends where it goes. I find people today look upon AMVs are more of proof reading then just sitting down and watching. I look upon AMVs as movies which I rent for the night which I find might suit my interest (in AMV world that would be watching AMVs with music I find interesting or anime I find interest, vise versa or both), if I don't like the movie then I send it back and never watch again plain and simple. Because it is kind of hard when people throw what I have done wrong and do not commonly tell me how I can fix these problems. So no respect, no respect at all, who cares I will keep on doing this till I feel like I get up one day thinking I will not do it anymore. No wether you understood what I have been saying or not is none of my considern much like what I belieive is like my AMVs. Much like this statement was done because I felt like doing it so I done it. I think R.P. McMurphy from "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest" once said "At least I tried.".
