Do you work on multiple AMVs at the same time?

I try to avoid working on several at a time as much as possible [currently, I'm steadily working on one, I have several in queue that need to be remastered, there are a couple unfinished projects packed away on discs, I have one multi-editor project I'm coordinating (and thereby storing the finals I've received as well as the preview audio with it), and the set of it's main sequel's preview audio tracks and preliminary work sitting around].

Despite that, I would much rather take it one at a time; still, even with how much I have on my plate, it's nothing compared to my sister, who starts projects and either never finishes them or leaves them on the main computer to take up massive amounts of space.

I got 4 ideas but the footage for 2 on my HD which is taking up quite a bit of space...

If I ever start an AMV while doing another one, it means that the original video is dead.

While I have the HD space to accomdate more than one project, I nearly always take it one at a time. That way, I can give the video full attention and be able to familiarize mself with the source more thoroughly. I just find it easier to focus when there's a single project.

I normally work on 2-3 videos at a time, mainly depends on how much space my HD allows me per project.

I only have about 4 gigs left on my "DVD" Hard drive after ripping 26 episodes so those all have to be deleted to start a new video. I have 100 gigs free on my extra Drive but since it's attached via firewire the processing speed of clips would be too long to be feasible.

I was working on my first two AMVs at the same time. The very first one I started working on, last April, was second to be completed and very second AMV that I started working on was completed first.

I currently have 3 AMVs in progress. If I want one to be finished before another, I'll focus on that one.

I try to only work on one video at a time, but I find this hard to do most of the time since I am always getting new inspiration. In fact at the moment I have two videos that I am activly working on, I just finished a third, and I am already working on getting footage for even more AMV's.

Most the time I focus on one AMV-project at a time. For both practical and HD-space reasons. Sometimes I do little stuff at the same times, but nothing big enough to distract me from the project that's going on. There has been a rare occasion when I started a new project before I finished the previous one, for I was lacking some material to finish it anyway, and I still got inspiration to edit.

I'd never have more than one active AMV project going at once. I need focus, and having two projects would make me split necessary focus. I wouldn't be thinking about just one AMV, so I'd have half the amount of ideas to make a good video.
