  • Moi? Soft? JAMAIS! 2005-03-26 10:44:01 Somebody just described one of my AMVs as "soft".

    Anyone who knows me or my creations knows there is NOTHING soft about me. I'm all muscle, I'm all tough, I'm all strong. Sure sure, I do get happy when I see baby animals. And I'm nice to everyone all the time. And I do have emotions- though I am not an emotional person and thus make most of my decisions objectively.

    And the irony is that the video not only is about one of the toughest girls of anime, whom I would love to be both per se and if you know what I mean, but also is set to an upbeat power ballad and has some action. Sure sure, the remake got rid of one action scene that made no sense due to my poor syncing- but it still features Oscar and Andre fencing, nearly everyone riding horses, a relatively fast dance, Oscar recoiling and falling down, Andre dropping a huge stack of books, and stuff that would be spoilers. Not exactly a soft video of "insert favorite melodramatic couple" gazing into each other's eyes.
     
  • remake ready 2005-03-24 20:24:40 I finished my first remake.

    The forum posters were right. You get so perfectionist that you do not know if you will ever finish. But I did.

    Unfortunately, the first review was less than stellar. It left me very discouraged about remakes and AMV making in general. It should not, but it did because I am very competitive.  
  • remaster? remake? 2005-03-20 20:31:01 I was watching some Beru Bara scenes using my compy's DVD player.

    They look so pretty. And I found (after much digging) a not so obvious scene that is perfect for the lyrics of my AMV at one point.

    So I'm thinking- I should try to remaster/remake this. I dunno if to call it a remake, since it will be scene by scene the same EXCEPT for that one scene where I found a much better one.

    It will take AGES to find everything else again and to edit it again. But since this is not a beat sync video, as long as the general timing is about the same, it should be all right.

    I have a couple more months of experience now. If only I found a way to rip DVD footage well in my compy instead of using Dazzle 80. And can I import it to Movie Star 5? That is the question.

    It is not a highly pressing issue. But I am such a perfectionist.

    And they changed Oscar for the worse in the anime. They took out romantic parts in order to have St. Just be an assassin. But only Girodelle got a whole letter changed- and an unimportant one.
