Why do you like making AMVs?

I was wondering what you all's favorite part is of making amvs?. What makes you want to make them? For me its because amvs are so customized to the creators specifications. Its something that is only yours.

Hmm...

In my elementary school years I've always been playing with transformers and Legos, always constructing forts with boxes and making sand traps with bits of wood and leaves.

In high school I ended up getting into the science project building competitions (like make a spaghetti bridge capable of carrying a certain weight in junior school, to designing and building a model for an alternative water distribution system in middle school, to creating a human powered vehicle in senior school to compete with other schools for a 24 hour marathon).

Now, I'm in university as an engineer, and yeah, once more building things is my pupose in life. Add that to my love of anime, my previous life in writing stories, my being an audiophile (I'm in telecommunications engineering, so sound is one of passions), and presto, it'd be hard to be surprised that putting together something creative and technically challenging like AMVs is my current number 1 obsession

I hate how for a certain period of time right after I finish a video, I'd be watching it constantly over and over again till it wears off its novelty on me... I can't seem to just watch it in moderation after I finish making it

AMVs are just another creative outlet for me. I love the process of making the vid, then watching it repeatedly like Infinity thinking, "hey, I made that"!

I do that when I paint, draw, bake and sew, too.

When you watch so many after awhile you yearn to make your own, then you discover that you can't stop.

My fav part is when someone leaves a comment or op or something and they are like "wow, this is somthing new! it really inspired me!" or something along those lines. the part i hate the most is right before u upload it. u know, when u watch it like 100 times to make sure there's nothing wrong with it. then upload it and realize u misspelt something. lol. After u make a amv, u'll never want to hear the song u made it to again. that's a bit of a drag.... wait, how the hell did u crash vegas?! lol, it's like the non-stick of video editing! it never crashes!

I hate editing, if my final vids didn't look so good I'd have quit ages ago...

I think...
