Downloaded tons of DBZ videos off of Hotline years ago, then started downloading videos to other anime. I wondered what it took to create them and played around with editing programs. I made nearly a dozen videos (few of which actually remain) then kept getting better at it. At first I was crapping them out left and right, but nowadays prefer quality over quantity.

Well... I can't remember if my first AMV that I watched was one of Jessmaster's Eva videos or a FFX video done to "Suteki da ne"... one thing is for sure, I was really hooked in by both those videos... it was months (or even a year or more later) that I realised I can and should make these things too

origanally, my very first trial and editing was a max payne video that had soo many random clips. That was fun, and i had a good song too, however it had some spiderman, a counterstike movie and some how high(get em!) in it. Then about 3 years go by to the end of last year. I started watching naruto, and decided to mess around with it on wmm(nvr shown, possibly might be remade). It was ok. Then this year hits, I finally find this great site called animemusicvideos.org(omfg what a great website) didnt really mess around with amv's till about 2 months before anime expo.
Then I dropped my first vid(its kinda my second, but to me this is my first accual vid)Match the Nin with the Voice, and ever since then i cant even listen to music w/o trying to find a video consept for it. Surprizingly enough my first vid landed into the anime expo finals(and i didnt expect that one, considering how good all the other vids were compared to mine).
Now I'm stuck b/c I have tons of ideas that i wanna express and create, and i wanna break the general mold of amvs.[/url]

Copied straight from one of my video notes:

the patience to sit through twenty minute episodes. One day, while cruising the fansubbers' tunnels, I ran into an episode of Naruto that came bundled with a Rock Lee tribute. Now, I had only had seen maybe two or three AMVs in the past, and they were all very good, so I was rather psyched to see this. When I finally watched the AMV, I had two consecutive thoughts. The first was:

"Wow, that sucked."

The second was:

"You know, I could do SO much better."

A few days later, I had pumped out the tradgedy now known as "That's Some Bad Feedback."

Editing in VirtualDub was so hardcore. I should try it again sometime.

My friend got me into AMVs after showing me hers. It was great. I haven't put mine into this site yet but i will soon.

I was inspired by NeoGohan, his vids were like total kewlness when I saw them. So normally, I dlded every program he used and started to explore them. Yeah...

I was the Central California rep for Xbox. Footage from the Halo 2 presentation at E3 2004 was leaked a day before E3. I got to see it early, and then again at E3. The boys from Bungie were PISSED that GameSpot had the video on their site. Anyway, I went home and made a video to "Another One Bites The Dust" just off the E3 video plus the video that was released in September of 2003.

After that, I felt pretty comfortable with WMM, so I made a second video with Kare Kano and "When The Rain Comes" by Third Day. The entire video comes from a single, three minute segment of Episode 18. I have since made three more videos and remade the Kare Kano video.

There ya go.
