Old DBZ AMVs Recovered

So I had a wave of nostalgia recently and decided to go dig up some of my old AMVs (and a couple I thought were lost forever). I'm in the process of adding them all as links on A-M-V.org (as the original mpgs, and reconverted mp4 files). Compared to the quality of AMV's nowadays, most of them look like shit, but they're still watchable. Give them a look over at my A-M-V.org profile

Also, here's an HD YouTube embed of Cataclysmic Clash

New AMV: You've Been Shot

Click the links below to watch my new AMV. The image links to the AMV Announcement Thread on a-m-v.org (If you're a member, please leave a comment there, and also an opinion too!).

Not to be too over confident, but I'm pretty sure this'll make Anime Boston finals next year. I think it was more solid of a concept than my "Dog's of War" video, and that one made finals too.

I also plan to start my 5 Cm Per Second AMV soon (details in the previous post). And I will also be entering that in the Anime Boston AMV contest (assuming I finish it on time, I have about 3 months, so that shouldn't be a problem).

AMV Idea

I just found the song for a PERFECT 5 Centimeters Per Second AMV. The song is a serious one by a group known for very humorous songs in the form of YouTube videos (schmoyoho aka The Gregory Brothers). This AMV has the potential to be a best in show next Anime Boston I can FEEL it!! 
 
I cannot wait to start this as it'll be my second drama AMV, and will be even better than my first. 

Look forward to this, it will be Amazing! 
  

Anime Boston Finalist!

Dog's of War is in the Anime Boston AMV Finals! My fourth year as a finalist (5th AMV that's a finalist) and my first Drama finalist!

After the excitement of finding out that I made it, I immediately messaged Joey Eppard (founder/guitarist/vocalist of 3) and told him the AMV I made with his song was a finalist. We then had a great chat about music and stuff.

Now I am very excited for Anime Boston.

Dogs of War

I finished my Soranowoto AMV using 3's "Dogs of War" and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I've been too busy to correctly encode it for AnimeMusicVideos.Org but will put it there soon. I'm going to submit it to Anime Boston and have another AMV I wanted to submit as well (Gungrave - song "You've been shot" by 3) but probably won't finish in time.

Suspended

So... last night my YouTube account was deleted because of copyright claims. I lost EVERYTHING. All my videos, all my views, all my favorites, I even lost my personal account that I wasn't using for AMVs because it was linked to my gmail as well.


I'm making a new account which is currently http://www.youtube.com/user/breeman241 in order to try to re-upload some of my AMVs. But I'm going to have to be careful which AMVs I upload so I don't get another account suspended.


Besides that, I'm finally getting more done on my AMVs. Check out the beta page for some preview http://www.jeffinteractive.com/amv.html

AMV Non-Progress

So the two AMVs that are in my "Started" section to the right (and on my amv progress page) are far along, but at a standstill. I always get so enthusiastic about an idea at first, but then hit a wall. I'll try to finish these AMVs, but they need improvement. Any suggestions (comment below) would be VERY helpful, as its hard to complete a good AMV with little to no feedback. If you guys want to see more AMVs, then comment on the ones I'm working on and let me know if you like what you see and what should be changed/improved!

Another reason my AMV's haven't had anymore progress is because I've been busy 1. Playing Monster Hunter Tri (yes, I'm back to playing an MMO) and 2. Doing side work for my internship boss. So those have taken up most of my time after work lately. I even missed the deadline for Connecticon, which I was going to enter my Soranowoto AMV in. Oh well, I can't go anyways, I should have just entered one of my other recent vids instead.

I also came up with a song for an AMV that is not even in the planning stages yet (but will be soon) that I'm hoping will be my first multi-anime, effect heavy, totally awesome action video, and will blow all my previous action videos away. The song is Angra - The Course of Nature, and I promise, it will be truly epic and awesome.

New blog theme today because Google added template customization. Whoohoo! Looks spiffy =)

AMV Progress

One thing I get asked a lot when I'm working on AMVs is, what anime and song? Now that wouldn't be hard to answer if I used popular songs in my videos that everyone knew, but usually, an AMV I make contains a pretty obscure song.

But with the creation of Grooveshark, which even has those obscure songs, I can show my fans the song I'm using within a nice embedded player right on my site. After realizing the convenience of those players and using a section of my blog sidebar to display them, I realized updating the fans of my progress right below the song would be even better. So I proceeded to add information and beta links right there for anyone to view and download. That sure helps keep my blog free of the clutter of posts saying (LOOK I ADDED 5 MORE SECONDS TO MY VIDEO HERES A BETA!). With this sidebar I can simply change the beta link and the time completed next to the video and not have old outdated links and posts lying around.

Now to make it even EASIER for my fans I went and created a web page (on my portfolio site host) containing all that same information, with some added design (reflecting the AMV currently being worked on). Click on the banner below to go there and see!




Now you can expect up-to-date progress on both my blog sidebar and on the AMV Progress page. I am currently hard at work on my Soranowoto AMV and it is coming out great! I will be uploading a new beta sometime within the next week or so, and will probably be done with the AMV pretty soon. I'm really enjoying making AMVs lately and am able to edit very fast thanks to my new desktop computer, so keep checking back and checking out the betas!
