  • Profile: For my 17th birthday a friend of mine gave me a CD. This CD was a compilation of his favourite AMVs and also my introduction to the fascinating world of the Anime Music Video. Eagerly I searched through google to find other videos like the ones I had seen… only to find that my poor internet connection would no way be able to handle downloading the creation guides, let alone the AMVs themselves. So, I sadly sat on the sidelines and waited.

    Then came January 2006… and my 21st birthday. I was thrilled to receive not only a wireless broadband connection but also a brand new laptop of my own! I knew what I had to do… Armed with my new connection I downloaded every guide I could, trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible before skipping out and buying Adobe Premiere 6.5 like a happy little schoolgirl. Within a few hours using some random pictures saved from my old harddrive and a video I made with my digital camera just that morning I made my first ever video – “A Tribute To Bam” (for the record, Bam is a psychotic little feline that shares my house with me). So I had a video… but I had nowhere to put it to share with the masses. Luckily, my friend Arcturus offered me a nice little chunk of space on his server which became my studio, “Dazed Dreams”.

    In the weeks that followed two more videos joined the tribute:
    + So happy with My Little Ponies: A My Little Pony video made for the folks at the MLP Arena (www.mlparena.com)
    + Dead Meat: An Abe’s Oddysee game video

    Despite this… I was unhappy. I’d wanted to make –anime- videos and I was yet to do one… when I heard a song, a song that had triggered an amv idea in my head years before. The idea was still there, stored in my brain and over the time I had spent broadband-less I had acquired the entire series I had mentally placed the music to.

    Thus began the sweat, blood and tears that would hopefully be my first video… but it never happened. Despite spending hours on the project I just didn't -like- what I was churning out. So it was back tp he drawing board again. I had no ideas for months until randomly watching a movie an old joke I remembered sparked my creativity again.
