One of the hobbies I’m more-or-less involved in right now is the viewing, reviewing and creation of Anime Music Videos, or AMVs. I’m a member of the animemusicvideos.org website, although certainly not the most active or elite member.

So what’s this I’m rambling about? Well, you take some Japanese animation footage, preferably from DVD. Take a song from CD. Get some sort of video editing software. Spend weeks of your life cutting, previewing, tinkering, cussing and fussing. At the end, you have a hand-crafted music video the likes of which MTV has never seen.

It’s cool, dammit. Check it out.
