AMVs Vs. Anime

YouTube · Post by **Kionon** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 12:27 am

I do not ever scrap ideas. I only delay them. I am about three days from finishing my current video. Original idea? Three years ago. I already know which video I'll be making after this too.

I have a lot of gestational type of stuff, listening to a song, seeing an anime, but that is not the same as a true idea. A true idea means I have to allow myself to storyboard. Most of the time, I don't allow myself to, because I don't have the time.

Any idea that makes it to the storyboard phase will be made, even if it takes years.

It's a balance for me, as I watch AMVs while I watch anime (TV almost always has a DVD in it, and I usually keep my AMVs folder open in case I suddenly feel like watching one).

My anime collection is kinda halted at current, as I haven't had much new income in the past 10 months (I need to get a job for the summer -.-;;; ). I still have about four series that I'm collecting, too : / Not to mention all the ones I want to see but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I usually "want to watch anime" especially for do Amvs, during school time or when I usually have any work to do, use the little free time I have watching animes can be a pain, something that would make me answer me Amv > Anime, anyway when I have vacations like during summer I can watch series of anime only because I love anime =) Usually so there is a balance, even if I actually watch animes especially for make amvs of them

Ahhh, that's what's happening to me right now. I just happened to be watching a specific series that fits the music I have been listening to. The only problem is that I have 3 songs in mind. I guess I'll just have to create 3 separate projects. The songs are different enough to merit using the same anime.

Unless of course, I am making a dramatic amv, which I will occasionally do. With those, the idea usually starts from the anime. And after all, at this point, I've seen hundreds of different anime, so really I'm pretty much covered for just about any song i'd like to do. Or I can sometimes find out what an anime is about by reading a description or having someone tell me about it

Gotcha. You made a good point about a drama AMV. That's how my first AMV was born. It was anime inspired vs. song inspired.

Baaah, most animes suck, I think that's why we're trying to make something good out of this

Soon, you will become me, only not as witty.

That would make him a plant.
