Year in Review...

[ssj4lonewolf]

wow, umm made 3 amvs, my first one got me to anime expo surprizingly. 2nd one got majorly great reviews, and my third one is kinda pfft because its basically a lip syncing exersize. Also learned that hip hop is loved to be hated(fuck you haters).
I learned a lot this year messing around with vegas, but take my advice, show your amvs around to ppl. You never know what might happen. The same video that was just supposed to be my test of lip sync, landed me a job as an editor for a production company. Since contest season has started over, and I will have free time to edit in school and out, I can make more amvs.

I won an award I totally did not deserve and was completely stunned by it.

i did this... o.0 but I linked the video I thought should have won on the profile page and said it was 100x better than mine

[Bongu-san]

In 2005...

- I made my first AMV.
- It won an award at AWA.
- I said, "WTF?"
- I decided to start another one.

In 2006, I hope to...

- Finish my second AMV.

What i did this year:
-Nothing
-Made amvs and learned that there is always someone to flame you on the boards.
-Met some new friends
-Learned to dvd decrypt.
-Stopped making individual amvs for a short while due to lack of ideas.

All other things are personal

2005 was a great year. It was my first year editing AMVs which led me to:

-Getting back in to anime big time...
-Attending anime conventions (AnimeBoston, AnimeNext, Otakon, and AWA).
-Upgrading my PC so I can edit more AMVs.
-Meeting other editors (surprisingly a lot were very cool normal people. I expected a lot worse I guess heh).
-Improved my editing skills on non-AMV projects.
-Buying a crapload of anime DVDs after gaining interest from watching AMVs.
-Buying more useless toys while wandering around Con dealer rooms.
-On a non-AMV note, I bought a condo. Say good-bye to disposable income.
-I didn't do drugs.

I hope 2006 is even better.

In 2005, I finished and released 11 videos, plus two live-action projects and a bunch of short crap that included some of the most offensive cuts in AMV Hell 0. I also moved to Germany, patched things up with my S.O., went to Wacken, got addicted to obscure east-Asian MMOs, and crossed a national border on foot, not in any particular order. I ended the year on somewhat of a dejected note for AMVs, as I was unable to finish a two-video project that had been stewing for the better part of three months.

In 2006, I hope to finish these videos to make a proper showing on my home ground (Anime Boston), which I may actually go to. I would also like to do up two multi-video stands on a pair of underappreciated titles, and get back the motivation to crunch out another book, or record some more demos with one of my music projects. I would like to avoid getting posted to Taiwan, or if posted there, to keep up relations with my S.O. to the point that she'll still want me around when I come back.

Haha, I didn't forget that but I don't want to let it look like I'm proud of it. Since you know what's my opinion about that IC.

Kai, can you speak more than just english? What other languages can you speak?

With all the different countries you go to it'd be weird if you only spoke english. 0_o
