.......the insane thing is, he thought it was beautiful.

If your dad is gay homophobic,that makes sense.If your dad is lesbian homophobic,that is wack.If your dad is JUST lesbian homophobic,well,that is even more wack.

My parents really like my video and think that this is a great hobby. My dad used to do work in television graphics and with video compression company so he *loves* it.
Besides, it's more productive than video games.

OK, now this is really depressing. I just showed my mom my vid and she hated it too. I guess the vid just really does suck. Oh well...

Oh my, I haven't shown them to anyone IRL, although some may go over okay. (My dad knows ABOUT AMVs, having run into them while downloading huge amounts of "regular" music videos, and has gotten some for me at random - an odd but nice gesture.

)

My mom is already hugely wary of anime, so there's no chance there. lol. I don't mind, she doesn't give me grief about it; she just doesn't understand it. (After she heard I bought some anime DVDs, she commented, "The <i>weird</i> anime stuff?" I just laughed and said "A lot of anime's weird." I don't know what she expects. I mean, it was CB and Trigun. Dude. Nothing that American movies don't already do.)

Aaaaaanyhow, if I ever made one that was presentable but not too artsy I might show it to my dad. He'd get all parentally impressed and whatnot (a bit sad, as I'm 25 - you'd think he'd be past that) but it would at least explain why I can rattle off stuff about compression and so on whenever the topic comes up.

I'm still debating whether to run my Star Ocean vid past my housemates, as they got me into the band I used in the first place. *shrug*

I made my grandmother cry with my Every Breath video. Talk about strange.

My dad usually likes my videos the most if it has music he likes or has heard before, therefore, he liked my Shaft video, my Beatles video, my Billy Joel video, my Madonna video, and strangly enough my X-Japan video.
Once I showed my dad one of my X-Japan concerts I suddenly turned him into a fan.
*shruggs*

I guess that's pretty cool since he'll let me crank up the volume when he drives me places.
