*sigh* AMV Update... And An Explaination

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 6:02 PM
  • Mood: Hope
  • Listening to: Stuff on iTunes Store
  • Drinking: Pibb Xtra
I know you must be absolutely sick of this, but for those who're interested, I figured I'd give a more detailed explaination on my AMV matter...

I have quite a few AMVs planned right now that I'd like to finish. 2 to 3 of these are by the same artist, another 2 are by another artist, one's by Linkin Park (started working on it a while back; got block. Might go back soon), and two are from the same movie soundtrack (so same artist; one started back in September, looking to finish it).
So that's about 7-8 videos, possibly more. Of these, about 6 are of Riku, one's of SoraxKairi (me making a pairing video? O.O), and one's of the relationship between Sora, Riku and Kairi. Most of the songs mentioned would go well together, so as I said in an earlier update, I'll try to make them 'duos', or a 'concept series' of sorts.
However...
I've gotten block on some of these videos. And most of the others? I've hardly started, if at all. I get most of the songs from iTunes, and I need to burn a new CD for 1 or 2 of the songs so I can make the video with them...
Basically, what I'm trying to get at is, I'm hoping to get something done soon. Don't know when, but... =/ So please just bare with me for a little bit longer. Things have been a bit stressful on me lately, and I haven't worked on the videos as much as I'd have liked...
But I'm going to try to make it worth your wait. I'm wanting to try something I haven't really seen done in KH AMVs, and I think it'll add some diversity to them. Don't expect a flashy effects-show, though. I generally can't stand those videos... o.o
-------
And I guess I should give an explaination on why I said I was considering leaving...
Like I said above, things have been a bit stressful on me lately. I really don't want to go into detail, but it's had me worrying at times. That's one of the reasons I haven't been feeling so good lately...
I also feel like I've let some people down by not posting anything lately. I don't feel like there's much point in being here (read: YT) if I'm practically dead. I know a lot of people must look down on me, and I hate that. I'm wanting to fix that, but lately I've lost my will to work on videos. I open it up, hoping I can get SOMETHING done, and it's like I can't do it. I also, in a way, feel like no one's really going to enjoy it when I DO get something done. I've been 'dead' so long, I'm wondering if anyone other than my friends even remembers me. And if so, will they care? Doubt it. I've resigned myself to being the 'underground' of the AMV YT world: for those who don't like what the 'big-shots' (you know what I'm talking about) in it are doing. Seems like a very small, hardly-existant group... It's one of the reasons I want to try things new that've never really been tried; to show I can do something.
Heh, I feel like a mouse trying to overthrow an elephant...
-------
Sorry for my angsty-ness... I would keep going, but I feel I've gone on long enough. Sorry to bother you in any way...

Oh, and I've put a little cosplay-thing on my channel for some reason. It's got a list of some hopeful cosplays and stuff. If you get bored, check it out. ^^

(Oh, and is anyone else planning on getting WiiFit? Even my parents are interested in it! =))

EDIT:
If you don't mind, I'd kinda like to prove a point here.

Watch this video (if you can without getting sick):
[link]

Now watch this video (same song):
(Go to my channel, then click on the video that's on the top-right of my favorites.)
I hate DA's emocticon-thing. -.- Made the link not work...

Now tell me, which do you think is better? Bear in mind, the top one was made in Vegas, and the bottom one was made in WMM.
See what I mean? Now, the person who made the top one isn't a 'big-shot', so to speak, but look at the comments. Also, a certain 'big-shot' did, however, favorite that video a while back.
And I'm not just saying this because the person who made the bottom video is one of my 'Buddies/BUDDEHS' [LOL] (and the face it was inspired by mine), either.
The top video makes me feel sick. It's like the maker didn't WANT us to watch it, or know what's going on, by the constant use of color changes/flashes. Not to mention the repeated scenes quite often... That and there's little to no story. Did it make sense to you? Didn't to me (but hey, I could hardly watch it, so...).
Now, the second video is awesome. There's a wonderful story that works and can be seen, and it's not overdone with effects. Yes, there are flashes at parts, but they don't make me feel like I'm going to be sick or harm my eyesight.
See, a 'better program' doesn't make someone a 'better editor'. In fact, something like Vegas in the wrong hands can lead to disasterous outcomes (see above).
Just wanted to let it be known, that just because someone's got a 'spiffier program' or is more well-known, doesn't mean they're a better editor.

I can't get Advent Children :cries: I really don't think they sell it ANYWHERE here. I really want it though. My best friend(animelover4-life)(she was on the stream one time)(Lisa ...XDD) bought it off Ebay. So I actually got to watch it on an ACTUAL T.V. instead of a crappy quality version on youtube. Plus we rewatched it in japanese. But, I can't buy it off the internet because my parents DESPISE buying thing online :(

Sure^^
