New Video, VCA Loss, Finals, and Graduation (hopefully)
2007-05-02 16:58:09
This a bit late, it's been about two weeks now, but I finished my Ergo Proxy video, a meditation on Heroism. It's got some pretty good responses so far, but not as great as my other videos. I did get this sweet quick comment though:
# 2007-04-24 00:43:33I loved this. The song fit perfectly for the anime, and the scene choices were great and sync was interesting. I'm still amazed at how good you are for how few videos you've made. -Sierra Lorna
If only everyone else liked it this much, but it still cheered me up a bit.
Condemned lost in the VCA finals to DANSU, which was what I expected was going to happen. Ah well, better luck next time eh. Except there will be no next time for Best First Video. I'll have to kick up my editing a bit if I want to ever make it into the VCAs again. Thanks again to anyone to helped me get to the finals. Curses to anyone who thought I should have won but didn't vote.
Speaking of Condemend, it's got over 8,000 hits! Awesome. Never thought it would get that far, I was ecstatic when it hit 1,000.
I would like to start a new video again soon. I've been thinking something with Fate/stay night or Ergo Proxy (again), or maybe something completely different. I've got idea about a Hellsing video to the Beatles that I can't get out of my head. It'd be short, simple, and hopefully funny and amusing. But I can't get started on anything until finals are over.
If I pass all my classes, I'll be graduating from college. If not, then I'm screwed. -
VCA Finals and a New Project
2007-04-03 23:34:42
Condemned made it to the finals for Best First Video, which is pretty sweet. I'd like to thank everyone who helped me get this far. With some luck, maybe I'll go all the way. If not, Condemned has already gone way farther than I ever imagined it would. Thanks again everyone.
I've recently started a new project, an Ergo Proxy video. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's a really great anime. Hopefully this pans out well and I'll have at least one video this year. -
All Ops Have Been Responded To
2006-09-22 01:25:56
I've finally got around to responding to all the ops on Condemned. Wrote about 2,000 words, that's about a 6 page paper right there. Reading all those ops again and writing all those responses got me thinking that I should make another video, but I just haven't been feeling it. And I still can't find a song that I'd like to use for anything. If anyone reading this has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Until then, just more school, video games, computer games, and anime.
Thanks again to everyone that's left me ops in the past few months. -
Summer is OVER
2006-08-24 13:29:05
Summer is over and I'm back at school. I haven't done much this summer, except play World of Warcraft. Now that I'm back at school and my WoW playing is slowing down, I should hopefully be more active here at amv.org.
I've gotten alot of positive ops on Condemned that I haven't got around to replying to. For anyone that's left me an op, I appreciate it and I'm sorry that I haven't responded. I did respond to all ops before summer started, but with WoW and work, I've been slacking.
I would like to work on another AMV, but I don't have any music that I'd want to make a video with.
For any gamers out there, I was at Indianapolis for Gencon a couple weeks ago. Althought it's primarily a game convention, they do have some anime rooms and do some anime events. I was watching AMVs in one of the rooms, and they happened to have Condemned and they played it. I've never seen any of my videos at a convention before, so this was incredibly awesome. They also played it some time the next day, where a couple of my other friends saw it. -
Whoohoo! Over 1000 hits!
2006-05-05 22:29:07
Today Condemned has reached over 1000 hits! It's done far better than I ever imagined it would. I hope I'm not jinxing it. And on top of that, it got two ops today. But I also think I failed a 3 hour written exam that I took earlier today. So I broke even for the day.
I also found out yesterday that both my videos have been bastardized on youtube. At least the people who posted them didn't steal credit for my work, and they were willing to put up a link back here when I asked. That's good enough for me. In the future, I think I'll post my videos up there myself to hopefully alleviate the problem.
And for my next video, I have no idea. Music is my limiting factor. I can never find songs that I want to use. Bleh.
On a completely unrelated note, I saw this ad in the school paper today. For the low, low price of $26 dollars (on sale from $29) you can buy an armband for your iPod Nano. I just wanted to share that with everyone.
