Now, was it Kit or FC, and wait, I know FC is CDVV for sure, and isn't Kit? And if so, isn't what I said kinda accurate...

YOU ALL CONFUSE ME.

FC and Kit ARE both in CDVV, but neither of them were when SBS was created. It was just myself and iamshadowkiller.

When I was 14, a mutual friend (I use the term loosely) told me that my childhood best friend (think Heavenly Creatures without the sex, murder or insanity) didn't want to talk to me anymore because I was too boring. Tore my little soul out, it did. The mutual friend may have been lying, but the friendship dissolved anyway. The word dogged me for years until I decided to take it back. No, I'm not trying to be cute. And if you open a conversation with "You don't seem that boring", you get minus fifty points in life. Two-fifty if it's on AIM, although the AIM handle is changed now to a really, really sideways Revolutionary Girl Utena reference.

The "the" - which I don't capitalize, but don't care that much if other people do - is after the roll call of knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. All kinds of dork up in here.

My mom named me Sarah after a soap opera she happened to watch in the hospital the day I was born. Thought the name sounded nice. Those were the days of major drugs during childbirth, so it could have been worse.

Used to use "Ultraviolet Light" as a studio because it was the name of my old website. That was my way of tying together all of my various projects. That name came from working in labs back when I had promise in life *wail* and from a song by U2.

end.

It's a title thing, kinda like the pope. The old one dies and the new one just increases the roman numeral by one. One of these days I should start capitalizing it properly so people can tell what it is.

Oddly enough, I've heard my username mispronouced so often now that I no longer mentally think of myself as 'god the ninth' although I don't think 'go-dicks' either which seems to be the most popular way of fucking up my name. 'God eye ex' is how I tend to think of my username these days.

On a more normal note, back when I started on the net hotmail had the user name 'god' taken. And GodII. And GodIII. At this point I kinda said fuck it and jumped straight to GodIX which was avalable. I have since learned godix is also a waypoint in France, a construction company who's only presence on the web is aboutwhen they sued Caterpillar Inc, and someone who in into FPS games. None are that big a concern, my org profile is the #1 google hit for godix.

madbunny · Post by **madbunny** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 1:38 am

Some years ago I used to be a firefighter in the forest service. I did it for a few years actually. My real name is Murdock, and since there was a tv show called the 'A' team that was popular at the time everybody called me 'maddog'.

The problem with a nickname like maddog is that, whenever you are around a bunch of people that think they are badass and macho... like firefighters, bikers and rednecks, it's actually a pretty common nickname. Come on, can't you just picture some fat guy in a denim hells angel vest with a long goatee, and tatoos, calling himself 'maddog' as he swills a beer in a disreputable sawdust floor bar on highway somewhere? Happens all the damm time. Even without patrick swayze around.

So.. one day I was working on a fire in northern california. A big one, with thousands of crew, and an entire support camp set up for us. Real bastard of a blaze too with winds that just wouldn't quit. Anyway, I got sick of hearing 'my' nickname all over the camp (figure 1:5 crews had a maddog). So, after my shift was over I walked into town and bought a pair of bunny ears at a store, screwed them into my helmet with some sheetmetal screws and wore it out on the fire line the next day. All day long, and as long as I could while I was in camp, till I got busted and had to take them off. As I was coming back into camp with my crew, a local newspaper got a shot of me with my chainsaw over my shoulder, and of course, the bunny ears.

After that, everybody started calling me madbunny. The nickname stuck, so I sort of just kept using it ever since.

My username is my real name since I'm too lazy to think of anything else and I'd also be ashamed to tell real people my internet pseudonym.

I used to run things under a studio but then decided it was stupid since:
a) It was only me.
b) I don't actually own a studio

Ha!

Well... everywhere else in the online world I am known as ShinoMatrix. But why when I was joining the org and the AMVing community did I choose a different name all of a sudden? It was probably because ShinoMatrix was created in the spur of the moment (at the time I put it together, I was starting to become a Narutard and was already a big fan of the Matrix) and after a while, though I'm used to it, I found it to be, well, tacky.

So what did I do? I made a name that says something big. Infinity! But wait, I could make it bigger... Let's square it! Yeah, that was the engineer in me screaming "nerd!"

So yeah, that's my AMVing name... you don't want to know what ShinoMatrix gets around to doing... he's one sexy babe.

As for the studio? Well, it just so happens that in our studio website, I actually wrote up on this... so yeah, enjoy

A History - by Infinity Squared

Our history is rather short, but is actually quite a bit longer from the time this website fully opened. Roughly speaking, the very first instance that the roots of Amvience Studios first took root were post-Manifest 2004.

It was in the Manifest forums that I first knew of the existence of Yues Woman. I was quite taken by her entry "Inu Yasha and Kagome" in the Manifest AMV competition and she was immediately one of those people on the forums I knew I would get along with. It was not till about late November though, quite a few months after Manifest, that I was able to finally meet her in person. I was happy to find out that she was as fun and nice in real life as she was in the forums.

Kadaj was someone I encountered on the Manifest forums as well but it's quite a while later after I met him in real life. The forum topic that I first encountered him in was an argument (spanning 1000 posts and still seemingly not dead to this day) about who was better, Inu Yasha or Itachi Uchiha.

In early December of 2004, I entered Wai-Con's AMV competition. There in their forums after trying desperately to find out who won the competition (Wai-Con is in Perth, hence on the other side of the country from me), I met OropherZero. After realising his passion for AMVs as well and adding him to my MSN Messenger list, the stage was set for something to begin.

Amvience Studios first appeared as an idea back in the Manifest forums once more. After I became the Manifest AMV Coordinator, I realised that the AMV scene could be improved, both in Manifest and around the country. There, with Kadaj, we set about forming something, and took out a suggestion thread of what to call the new studio. Amvience Studios won because of its wit, creativity and originality. After that, Yues Woman and OropherZero jumped in the bandwagon too.

In recent history, the original members of Amvience observed the emergence of a new editor. After winning the Iron Chef AMV competition of Manifest 2005 and creating an undoubtedly exciting effects filled video, we decided to ask BlueTrain to join the team from early 2006.

To celebrate the first year anniversary of the studio, we welcomed Purge into our fold. His trailer video has awed us all and the AMVing world to the point of reaching a runner-up position in the prestigious Viewer's Choice Awards on the org and we just knew we had to have him as part of the team.

Construction began on the site at around late March of 2005 but due to some unforseen delays and life, it wasn't till July that now it finally exist. Currently we have some multi-editor projects cooking up but full details on that are still being ironed out. I hope you enjoyed the read for all its worth. Ask us if you want to know more.

8bit_samurai · Post by **8bit_samurai** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 5:15 am

8bit_samurai is what i use for video game related stuff. i wanted bullit, but it was already taken or somethin, and it was already too late when i thought of arctique bullit (hence i live around the arctic area). bullit is inspired from tracer bullet from calvin and hobbes (also my avatar to the left), which i read in late elementry/junior high (still do every now and then). 8bit samurai i recently came up with, inspired by i am 8bit and samurai champloo. i used to play hellova lotta nes and snes back in the days.

not affliated with any studios, dont really know much about em in terms of joinin and creatin, and stuff like that

DinaDani is actually a very old nickname of mine (when I was 8 years old or so, dynamite daniel), but shortified.

Quasar Studios because I like space.
