you've made my day
Were you talking to me? People confuse me when they use real names; I should've picked something less common.And Sarah, no hard feelings, k? I'm not here to make enemies with anyone. I was venting as much as you are. Feels good, ne? Good luck with any future endeavors, I'd hate to see pillar forum member bow out.
On the off chance that it was me, again, I am not quitting making videos or watching them. I'm not going to distribute. I'm sick of getting bitched at in ops/emails/PMs and I hate competitive mindsets.
Nah, that was for you.SarahtheBoring wrote: Were you talking to me? People confuse me when they use real names; I should've picked something less common.
But no, I don't have hard feelings for anyone in particular. Sorry if it came off that way.
Anyway, that was probably someone else anyway.
I think that sums it up best.Someone has a brain/kazaa fart and mistakes the name of a song? Email them so they can change it. Someone makes a shitty video and you don't like it? Turn it off and delete it. Oh you don't like people citicizing your videos? Grow a thicker skin and get the fuck over yourself. Can't do these things? Get the fuck out, this place ain't for you.

Didn't you just contradict yourself? If you're well-known and have made a series of good videos, by your logic, if you make one that doesn't top the last, you'll be bitched out, right? How does that constitute a "luxury" of being able to do whatever the hell you want?SarahtheBoring wrote: And Kusoyaro, again, with all due respect - you can do whatever the hell you please once you gain people's respect. Not all of us have that luxury, 'k?
He pretty much exploded onto the scene with SRV and, to a lesser extent (at least in the minds of the general AMV community), Arimashinjikun. His latest video (which I do like) was very "plain" by today's "standards," and actually got booed at a convention. Is he getting bitched out? Is his AMV "career" over? By no means. No offense, but the "pressure" you speak of is in your imagination. The "pressure" you speak of comes from yourself...just make the videos you want, the community (not the DB) be damned.
As I've already said, that only helps that person but there is more than one person with this problem, and it's nothing really to to with talent.NicholasDWolfwood wrote:My point of view is, this could have been sent by email or put into an opinion, so this whole thread was basically pointless.
That's odd, because it's actually you that are calling the video crappy by saying that - yet its ok for you and not for me? As it happens I didn't point it out because the video was crap *as a video*, I pointed it out because it had correctable technical issues that was holding it back.NicholasDWolfwood wrote:have made a crappy video with subs and everything.
uh you just proved her point. She was saying the exact opposite of what you said. She said "If you get respected, you can do wtf you want and noone will care". I.E. you make a great vid like SRV and people love you, you can make shitty vids and nobody will care. Or something.Kusoyaro wrote: Didn't you just contradict yourself?
