I had been online for a few years in chatrooms and such before I found the .org. I was actually a roleplayer in chatrooms. >_>;
I was also a rabid DBZ fanatic and became part of Meri's "Temple 'o trunks" site fanclub. XD
Anyway, SQ is an abbreviated version of one of my first roleplaying character's names. For the longest time, people have come up to me asking what SQ stands for. I remember that it was all I got from everybody when I first submitted something to AWA in 2002 - "What does SQ stand for?"
Well, I'm really ashamed of what it stands for, so for now you're going to have to live with "An abbreviated version of an old roleplaying character's name."
My studio, ANIMETRIC PRODUCTIONS... That was an interesting concept.
I wanted a studio name for as long as I could remember when I started making AMVs- I have no idea why, I just wanted one.
So I started stringing cool words together, combining them, just going through a whole brainstorming process.
There's Lionstorm Productions, Flower Media, Flora Entertainment, Lionheart Adverts... All were really gay sounding. So I decided to take "Anime" and add other words to it, mix it up a bit... Blam, "Animetric" came out.
At the time, I was also hosting a webpage simply called "Anime Music Page" Or AMP for short. It all blended really well together, and I adopted the name in late 2002 - early 2003.
Before animetric.com was introduced.
I'm not saying animetric stole from me, they just probably went through the same process I did.
In 2003 at AWA, I was wearing my Animetric Productions shirt and someone asked me if I was with animetric.com
Ever since then, I've been pretty hard on "ANIMETRIC PRODUCTIONS has to all be in capital letters". For some reason, when it's capitalized it's distinguised. I don't know why.
For now, though, I'm trying to get back to my roots of AMP. When I make some new AMVs, I'll try to get a new bumper, rather than the silly cat image. I want to push "AMP" as the acronym for ANIMETRIC PRODUCTIONS so I will no longer have to deal with "Zomg you're so affiliated with animetric.com!"
I already have a web design which influences this. It's just a matter of getting my computer fixed and coding it. =)
