But nothing you've mentioned actually <i>requires</i> that the editors be in the same studio.masTer_sTaTus wrote:I asked if you wanted to be in one because people work better in groups when they have people they can rely on to look at one antohers work and work on a video together and such.
To wit; I'm in Third Lens Open Productions, which is <i>my</i> studio, and contains only me. I can ask... say, Rozard (of Random <s>Variable Productions</s> Destination Studios, which is in no way affilated at all with TLO or any of its subsidiaries, etc) to look at a beta for my AMV, and if he's got the time, he will and give me feedback. And naturally, if he called upon me, I'd reciprocate.
Additionally, Willow (of Studio Atvaark) can ask 100+ editors (the vast majority of whom are, again, not of Studio Atvaark) to collaborate on a video. The editors may or may not collaborate with each other on an individual level, but he might just <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 24">suceed on a grand scale</a>. Again, a hundred different editors from what amounts to a hundred different studios, working together to make a good vid.
I think my main problem with people coming onto General AMV and looking for people to join their studio is that they think that their studio will become better by virtue of people joining it. The best studios come <i>naturally</i> when editors have a close friendship. I was going to mention RVP again, but apparently them and Destination Skyline have formed a <a href="http://www.randomdestination.com/">Supe ... -Studio</a> and they're going to destroy Tokyo Tower. Then you have, for example, Hypeodermic Studios, composed of two brothers who consistently churn out amazing AMVs, one after the other.
So, if you want to continue on your quest to have newbies join your 'studio' that's fine, but at least make sure it's for the right reasons rather than boosting your ego and saying you run a 20-editor AMV factory.
