  • Profile: For anyone who missed it, my name's Matt. I'm 24, and I graduated from Dickinson College with what amounts to a degree in Japan studies. I've just returned from my year in Japan, teaching English with the JET Program. It was the single most difficult, incredible, life-altering thing I've ever done in my admittedly short life. Anyone thinking about applying to JET...do it. You will come out of it a better, stronger person...and you'll have some amazingly funny stories.

    I'm a pretty huge nerd as they go. I loves me my anime, video games (RPGs mostly), and I even play a few paper-based games too. But I go outside, play racquetball, cook, read, and do many other things that involve interacting with other people.

    I've been editing since I was a sophomore in high school, mostly for fun but a few times I've been hired to do freelance editing (pays REALLY well when you're a student). I've made close to 100 AMVs, but several hard drive crashes have caused me to lose most of them (the early ones were awful anyway). I've just worked up the guts to start posting my videos online, so check back often for more.

    I have a general request...applying to me in this case, but really to anybody. If you download one of my videos, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave some feedback. A star rating with no comments is the bare minimum you can do, but there`s a lot more possible, and it doesn`t take that much more effort. Even just a 1-sentence quick comment is a helpful way for me to know what you thought.
    I, like other creators, make these videos to entertain and to amuse. So please tell me (us) what you think of them. Making an AMV takes a lot of time and hard work, and sometimes it`s incredibly frustrating. So please take the comparitively small amount of time to tell me something about my work, so I can improve my future videos. Thank you.

    One important note: My studio is called "Hourglass Productions"...NOT "HourGlass Studios". That's not to say I'm better or anything, I just wanted to clarify before there was any confusion/trouble.
