  • Comments: This is my first true completed anime music video, because my video was never finished, and my second wasn't to music. It is, by far, my best looking video to date. It is not perfect, but I'm rather fond of it. Because I didn't know how to rip DVDs when I began, I used footage from other AMVs... because all of my footage is "stolen", so to speak, I'm not going to upload it or announce it in the forum. @_@'' Partly because I'm morally opposed to it, but mostly because the people in the forum intimidate the hell out of me. I tried my best to edit every clip I took so that it didn't look like it did in the original AMVs, but in some parts it still shows. Mostly, this video was a learning experience. It taught me the finer points of editing in WMM2, and it taught me that if I really put my mind to it, I'm not that bad of an editor.

    Most of this video's failures are due to two simple problems. One, the footage is not very good. The video quality is decent, but a clip does not get compressed and recompressed over and over and come out entirely unscathed. Also, since I was only taking footage from AMVs I already had, my pool of selection was... dramatically limited. The second problem is that WMM2 is a very linear program. If one clip is too long, everything in the video is shifted over. So if you go back and edit something later on, everything else will have to be adjusted accordingly. I think that with more footage and a better program, I could've made a much better AMV.

    The "ending credits" were a different story. That footage was taken from my own DVDs (as were the Akira clips near the end of the video). By that point, I'd learned how to rip footage from DVDs. I am still not very good at it, but this was a learning experience. As I go on, hopefully I'll become better at this... though with limited hard drive space, it seems unlikely that I'll be able to do much.

    To everyone whose footage I used for this AMV, I give my greatest apologies and thanks. Out of respect to the hard work you all put into your own AMVs, I will not be distributing this one.

    (Post-editing notes: Looking back only a month later, this video makes me wince. Oh, how far I've come in so little time. Hopefully, I will never make a video this bad again.)
