  • post apocalyptic org? 2011-06-10 14:48:44 I was talking to someone about why org is a great place for editors...and it suddenly occured to me...what would happen if org died?

    A HUGE AMOUNT of AMVs are stored on this site...if it died then would we be able to recover them? I would think that a lot of editors would pitch in and try to restore it...because a good deal of editors have AMVs from this site stored on a personal harddrive...working as their own personal catalog.

    I also figured that editors would probably flock somewhere else. Editors from youtube would probably just flock back to youtube, editors from org would probably flock to amvnews, or even go solo...

    The lack of tutorials and maybe even AMVapp would probably confuse and ruin a lot of editors who liked to come back to the tuts for advice...

    And in the end, I think AMVs would start to completely die out...

    Lets keep the activity up :3 I don't wanna see this hobby come to and end any sooner :)

  • lol blu rays are evil 2011-05-23 14:25:47 So first my dvdfab needed to be updated...did that.

    I always put my videos as entertainment...ive found that that keeps the WMG trolls away o; 
  • I'm sorry for making Heart Warming. 2011-04-30 08:37:48 I was an ass about heart warming when it first came out.

    Sure, the quality did suck. I can admit that.

    And the editing wasn't that great either, yeah.

    But I think what people really fail to notice is that I spent a lot of time pouring my emotions into it.

    I cried making that amv, even if it was stupid in the end. I was really depressed when I made it. I've had my fair share of being cheated on and bullshit like that. Sure, I think anyone who's dated more than one girl has had that.

    So I think that's why I was such an asshole about it. Because when people diss something you pour your heart and soul into...it feels like you're wasting your time, like: "why did I even make this pile of crap...I should just stop editing for good, because everyone hates whatever I make!"

    I dont wanna stop editing for good. I dont.

    It's a fun hobby, and I have a really hard time breaking away from it. I HAVE had moments in the past where I truly wanted to just give it all up because of some stupid bullshit someone said about me.

    Especially the trolls. I have a hard time with trolls, but not all of them though. Just those few that know me well enough to REALLY strike a nerve. Those guys are the ones that set me off.

    The biggest problem I think I've had with heart warming was the reception,

    It wasn't: "Hey, look guys, someone made a somewhat decent video that does something creative and different!"

    It wasn't: "Hey look guys, someone made a video that, while not perfect, shows clannad in a different way than anything we've ever seen..."

    Heck, I was even accused of ripping off a video that I dont think I could ever even come close to THINKING about replicating...

    It hurt my feelings, but most of all...it hurt my editing.

    You know what I would really love to see?

    Someone remake heart warming who actually owns Clannad on dvd and has better software.

    I don't put out amvs because I think they're "pro."

    I dont put out amvs because I want people to watch them.

    I put out amvs because I want people to ENJOY them.

    So go ahead, remake my amvs. I want you too. Just dont make fun of the original.

    Thats all I really want: respect.
