I discovered Power point, and the fascination of music and scenes was reborn. I'd take pictures and add them into power point then play music along with them.

oh i remember when we got a 2gb 200 mhz pentium. I would dial up on aol and go to these geoshities websites and find wav files from the simpsons and south park to edit. i made a sex remix from the wave files you can extract from warcraft II CD. i ran out of hard drive space just from wave files.

in 1996, I used compuserv on a packard bell. Oh baby.

I never used it for anime or editing or anything (since my desire to even do stuff like that would not come around until 1998) but still. Compuserv. Oh. Yeah.

Hmm...

I guess I can't put anything else... since mine has been posted WITHOUT PERMISSION

Seriously though, this is what I wanted to see when I posted that autobiography on LJ. I was definitely interested to read other people's histories and where their videos fit in to their lives at the time and I thought posting mine first could give people the idea to follow.

/me continues reading.

(there's a lot to read and I intend to read them all)

I was just intrigued by the knowledge that I could take my favorite anime and add my favorite music to it. Being able to rearrange video clips and still images to tell my own story is an added bonus.

LOL your waves may have been bigger then my one FF7 file. hehehe

I just about died when I discovered amvs that were 50mb + instead of 10 mb....like mine way back when.

Wow as I read more and more, it's such an eye opener to see the real person on the other side of the edits. Finished up to the end of page 5. I keep giggling at the computer and the family is giving me weird looks now.

I almost cried when I read about your stepmom handing you a copy of Premiere Krisqo. Oooo and congrats on the wedding!

Pwolf, I got tears in my eyes reading about your win at Anime Expo 2003!

Finally, I get to Vlads

I got the long version over coffee, it was great

I also notice that 2006 seems to be a high point for a lot of people here.

2005 for me, but I didn't finish my first AMV until 2006.

I agree with the KING on this one. 2006 in comparison, sucked.
