Yes. I'm glad I have the only tape....unless the AX AMV committee still has their stuff from a couple of years ago

I cringe just thinking about one of those videos...

Not really, I know what I was thinking back then, my execution just wasn't that refined yet. I still like all my vid ideas though.

That reminds me of when my Love hina video premiered at
otakon (The infamous Rocky Horror one) .... noone luaghed.....
noone moved ..... and I was getting ready to be linched.

That sounds like a wager to me.

You wot?

It's no wager...only reason I haven't bothered attempting it up till now was that I didn't have digital sources for everything in order to remaster it. With the exception of the single solitary Dr. Slump sight gag in it I think it could be done.

As far as my AMVs go they're solid enough when I produce them that there's next to nothing I'd change.

I wish they'd license Dr.Slump

That's just how I see it. I might blush at some of them for being so embarrassingly bad, but I'm still smiling while I watch them and imagining the possible remakes. They're mine, so of course I like them. I just try not to watch them too often. ^_^;

I still look back on my first AMV with fondness. I still remember putting i together and thinking how cool it was, then being crushed to find that System of a Bebop videos were, at the time, horrendously overdone and everyone hated them. Someone even released one with the same combo on the same day I did.

Nonetheless, I look back on it and even though there's a lot of hiccups, and I loatheloatheloathe the opening and ending text bumpers, I find that I still enjoy it. I think the overall concept still rings solid (but of course I think that), and it is, I think, a pretty good first video. Or, at least, it's mine. I figure I'm probably the only one who likes it. ;P

Nw, there are others that do not enjoy this affection. #2, #3, and #7, I can't stand to watch. They hurt so bad it, well, HURTS! Someone hand me the jar of acid now so I can destroy them.
