Why do YOU Edit

[pan_dbgt01]

I just love the whole concept of putting anime and music together. I first saw AMVs in the late 90s and I just had to make them.
Editing is my creative outlet and it's a lot of fun.

I just started getting into editing. For the longest time Ive always enjoyed and admired AMV's than after awhile I started getting ideas in my head
for them.. even though I didn't edit only watched. It began bothering me so much I had to do something about it. Here I am now trying to make my own AMV's.
So basically I do it because It gives me something to do when I'm bored, keeps my mind occupied and gives those ideas somewhere to go.

I.......I don't know anymore

Because other people don't make things I want to see.

This, very much a lot.

But that's only part-reason, obviously.
I've been making AMV's since 2005 and been editing film since 2009.
For AMV's I do it because I find it amazingly entertaining once an idea click and you have resources to pull it off. I enjoy seeing my magic lay down on the timeline and create the visions I've had.
For film the editing process is not as fun, but is extremely important - it takes longer than AMV editing, but is entertaining as you control the pace and feel of the contet there is, in a whole other way
than for AMV's.

I edit and make videos as one of my many creative-outlet's.
And I appreciate Manga, Anime and Music since back when I was only 6-7 years old.

So when I found AMV's it just felt obvious I'd give it a try - And I am very glad I did.

It is a creative outlet for me because basically I can do whatever I want. At school and at work there are always guidelines and limitations, so I really like the feeling of being free in my creativity.

Suppose everything to do with anime keeps me editing.

I like to meet and talk to new editors all the time.
I enjoy watching anime, AMV's, etc.
Fun hobby to relieve stress.
Creativity & imagination needed to create some really interesting ideas.
Competition in Cons/Contest is mega fun for me.
Editing Graphics with anime in them.
Big ideas other editors pull off that I really love.

Regardless of how many projects I start or drop. Everything sparks something new in my mind that I must attempt to edit whether I can pull it off or not. Its just fun to try, and see what you can create (as well as others).
