You can't quit. You haven't finished Crying Angel 2.

As for me, I've only done 3 videos so far, and I would say that my last video was an improvement. I did learn a few things about cleaning up footage before releasing the video. I also improved from my first attempt at lipsync. As for editing, I still like how my first videos came out so it's hard to say if I've improved, although I did like my last video more. I need to get a few more videos done.

I've done three. Well four, but one wasn't really anime.

I just started last month after attending my first anime con. I rushed home to find that I had WMM2 on my PC. At first I was like, wow, this is much easier than I thought.

Then I was like, wow, this is much harder than it looks.

I only make them for fun. My latest, Christie Watches TV, is nothing more, or less, than Christie (from DOA3), getting out of the shower, watching a little TV with her friend, and then calling it a night.

Getting better? That's really subjective. Having more and more fun? Oh yeah!

I've made 6 (4 vids and 2 project tracks) and the difference between the first and last is insane, (except for project P which was intended to look like utter shit)

Same here. I've done 2 and my first video was decent for a first video but really nothing special.

My second video is a part of a major project (Instrumentality: Animasia) and won best horror at AWA pro. Now I'm running my own project and learning to use after effects. So, yeah I would say I've improved a bit.

I have made 18 amv's so far. And working on my 19th now. Looking back on my first amv I cring when I look at it. Then I got some replys back from Vancore and Slayerwolf saying not too bad for a first but who doesn't get that right. Anyway then I worked on my 2nd slight improvement not much then my third, and finally came Shrine of the Goddess. I don't know how that came to be but it did. It worked and went to the #1 spot off and on for a week. Then came the sequel which was a challenge. Ever since then I would think I have been improving greatly. Yes I've had my down falls such as Dirty Inu Yasha, Dragon Ball X, Calling All Goddess'(horrible capture), Akane's Heart which was a 50/50 because the music was from an unknown artist that my dad meet and was trying to get her music out there. Then bounced back with Outlaw Star Trek TNG Hero. And then Otakon this year with Fighting For Your Love and Anime Evolution with Belldandy's Memories. I do question myself sometimes. If I am improving then why hasn't any of my other videos cracked the main top 10 %. The only to become a hit on the org. was Shrine of the Goddess. People say I am improving and I know I am improving with every video in every contest I enter, but the scores here on the org don't show it. So don't rely on the scores here. Take the advice given in the ops and from people you know and your personal judgement. The path isn't always going to be smooth there are going to be some bumps in the road to say.

Well I'll see you all around.

In a way, you have to improve with each video.
There is no possible way to not improve.

So if you keep going for long enough, by default you'll just BECOME good, your idea's might suck. But your editing will definitly get better.

Sure there is: not applying what one learned from one's previous videos.
