The Attitudes Of AMV Creators...

Hmm... I think I'll add my own deals to this..

Getting back to 'this isn't what the community should turn out to be;' this'll probably surface later on, but as with any community, there are always problems that are going to surface. I know you were just letting off some steam Panda, but the truth is, people will always be competitive. No matter where you look, there's always an arguement about something, about practically anything. I guess what I'm trying to get at is that we are all just people, and people in general are stubborn.

What you're ranting about Panda not only applies in the AMV community, but pretty much any other community that ever existed. Even as we talk about this in our thread, although I don't want to point any fingers, we seek recognition and acceptance from the others in the org. We're all guilty of trying to be popular. Sure, some may say 'I do this for myself' yet they place the video in the org anyway. Trust me, if you really didn't want to receive any recognition, you would not have posted anything on here.

Basically, what we have to do now is accept the fact that conflicts and arguements will occur in here. Unless we all did not have a motive to become known somehow, no matter how little, we probably would not have been creating these. It's kinda like an artist saying that they don't want to be recognized for their work. They do, just as we do. The awards we win for these, although might cause conflict, they make us strive to become better. Without competition, we would probably have not gone this far since we would've been happy where we were.

About the newbie thing, yes we do vent on them. But just as with any other aspect of life, such as bullying the freshman, etc.. it's all inevitable. We can't stop people from thinking their better than others since by doing so, we'd have to stomp on them.

I don't plan to give a solution here to solve this problem. All I can say is basically to enjoy whatever it is about AMVs that made you want to create them in the first place. I'm not saying just to ignore the bad attitudes of the others, but realize that they're not perfect, neither is the communityand it'll probably never be.

more than that is bullshit, unless its someone who has been invited as a guest for a panel, or somesuch. Then it should be admission, period.
seating is one thing... flat out making demands is another.

Umm... agreed?

Yo, wanna point somethin out to my good buddy Bogosort, then I'm gonna continue to stay 500 miles away from this topic.
No, the DDR projects past DDR3 are NOT in works. My original gripe (which you fucking retards who keep bringing this up would know by now if you actually payed attention an' formed your on views rather than jus' recylcling the info that gets passed down to you) was that some members in the DDR group got defensive because they were planning on planning to get ready to make the project wit the 5th mix in about 2 years. THAT caught me as a little, well, 'off'. I'm sorry yo, but it jus' seems wrong when someone gets miffed because someone else tries to use a soundtrack they wanted to use more than a year later.
According to ermac, the DDR group claims exclusive rights to make AMVs to all the mixes. ALL of them. They are booking this crap up to 5 years in advance! Doesn't that seem a little selfish?
Now, time to play devil's advocate. I admit, striaght up, that I was ripping off their idea. Thing is, I didn't see anything wrong wit it. I still don'. A lot of the guys that I talked to from the DDR group didn't see nuthin wrong wit it. The only reason things got hot is cuz of a couple people who didn't like the idea of anyone else doin' a DDR project. I'm pretty sure these same people refuse to play Pump it Up on a matter of principle because is' a rip-off of DDR, or neva' played Mortal Kombat because Street Fighter was the first an' therefore the only 'real' fighting game. (I know it wasn't really the first, but Is' jus' an analogy dammit.)
My point? 'Rip-offs' aren't ALWAYS a bad thing. Had I set out to copy say the first DDR project, an' use the same animes for all the vids as in the original, an' bascially copy the old one, THEN they would have reason to complain. But I took a mix they hadn't gotten to yet, set out to organize totally original vids for it, an' show it at a different con. I was in NO WAY infringing on them or their project, yet SOMEHOW I'm still the bad guy in all this.
Think about it before you try an' vent your ass over the subject next time.
