“One must move to show a story of themselves, one must use movement to express themselves, movement creates a strong strength within one to show others what they are trying to express, gesture can make us feel emotive, action can make a change, movement makes things work, without movement we are lifeless like a solid sculpture that doesn’t move.”
~Interpretation of Agito~
The second part of Interlude 2, here I’ll tell about the things I create on a spare time basis, of course the things I create in this section is all Motion based creations and I’ll tell you the stories of their origins to me.
Back in the days of year 2006, going on the popular Video Hosting site Youtube, I stumble upon a number of great videos made by people, it makes me smile, it makes me feel tension, it gave me emotion and life, it’s like a summed up nutshell of a tv show in no more than around 10 minutes, in short “the vids are great, made by all people.”
However, one day during that year, I stumbled upon one of the most greatest Videos I’ve ever seen, back in the day I didn’t know what AMV stands for but it can stand for either Anime Music Video or the a more ranged meaning which is Animated Music Video, this one I can remember clearly, it was during the days of me getting into Japanese music properly, I browsed about on Youtube for some good vids to watch since that one Jonn had shown me (Meant to Live, a Naruto AMV), it had quite an impact on him, but I only took it as a great video, nothing effective on me when I watched it back in the day, while I was browsing, I was searching for particularly Gundam Seed/ Seed Destiny AMVs because back then it was the thing of the days (well within my family it was), I watched many Gundam Seed/ Seed Destiny MAvs and they are very well made I must admit but none of them was truly amazing in my opinion until stumbled upon the AMV named “Gundam Seed Destiny – Maria no Tsumeato”, it got me curious because of the name “Maria no Tsumeato” so Watched it to learn more, and when I did, it blew me away, it worked so well, the song fits so well with the vid I was technically crying for it’s majestic impact on me, it was my all time favourite AMV (until Youtube suspened the user’s account, personally I didn’t see what was wrong, he was only making AMVs like everyone else), it was also the day I adored the Japanese band Janne Da Arc, it was amazing.
Since that day the AMV always made me feel great, it was so fast paced that it was like life was passing through so quickly that you can’t help but feel excited about it, I respected the maker of the AMV (Kenji/Ken-G, even if you are suspened I will try to carry on your work). A few days later after being inspired by a great AMV creator and knowing a way to create them, I started a hobby to create my own AMVs, of course as all novices are, the first few AMVs made are reletively not well made, no substancial clip cutting and fast tracking or fitting which makes first work shit to put it straight, but hence no matter how shit it might be, one can always improve from it.
Whilst my first 2 AMVs were down the drain and not interesting or meritable at all, I made another AMV, I really thought at that time it’d be my last one, but as I tweaked around with it and posted it on Youtube, within a week it skyrocketed with a lot of views and positive comments, that grand fateful day of August 13th 2006 saved my AMV creating hobby and I intend to make more since then.
So now you all know how I got into it I’ll now list and explain the types of Agito Creations I’m interested in;
~AMV (Anime/Animated Music Video)~
The Main interest of my Agito Creation Hobby, it’s what started it and it’s what I do best, unfortunatly (like all my other Videos I’ve made) I cannot create them on a daily basis due to the fact that I don’t have a suitable program compatible for my Desktop Computer, but the urge to create Agito Creations is very strong so I had no choice BUT to go to my cousins and make them there, rather awkward but it’s worth it. Back to the topic of AMV creating, although the clips are pre-made and not my own, I can easily create a different Interpretation with them and the right use of music then it’s surely possible, AMV is like my other work, it’s Interpretive, Motivating and Intense when it’s made the right way.
~Dubbing~
Although I don’t have any Dubbed Videos on Youtube, it’s always fun to make them, it’s nmore of the entertaining and comedy side of things to my hobbies, but nevertheless I enjoy making them for no reason, but because I need to sort out the tone of my voice I won’t be posting any of my dubbed work just yet, but otherwise I enjoy this type of Agito Creation (although it’s more Sound than Agito).
And that’s that for the Agito side of my Hobbies, you surely by now must have a little idea of who I am and what I’m like but we still have a ways to go before you can understand my character more.
Until the next Time.
