Definitely newer to the AMV community, though I made my first AMV in 2022. So far, the AMV community is the best community I've ever seen. Scratch itself (as a whole) has countless negative aspects. But when it comes to the AMV community, it's so much better, and actually provides feedback, supports, and encourages growth and togetherness. It's unreal how impacting it truly is. [My start to AMV's] In August of 2022, on my oldest [sadly deleted] acc, I shared my first AMV, which was completely terrible. Really, it didn't get much support so I quit for over a year years. Fast forward to October of 2023, I created my first AMV on this account, Bones AMV (help me pls), where the character literally looks like a four year old, even though it isn't. Then in November of that same year, I shared a project inspired by the first AMV creator that I actually enjoyed, @abilities- (retired). This is when I gained more confidence and created more AMV's over time. Then late this year, I started making only AMV's, which I actually enjoyed a lot. Following this new ambition, I was invited by Nate to join the 2025 AMV community. At this point, I discovered how incredible the community truly is. [Final Message] Genuinely, I 100% think this community is literally the greatest community on Scratch. It's inspirational, cool, and supportive. Thanks to those who inspired me and those who supported me. With due respect, - @-startoons- (ViSLuX) I rate the AMV community a 100/10 (finally not a low rating on one of my projects XD) Edit March 30: "___NATETHEGREAT___ invited you to curate the studio Newgen Amvers" "___NATETHEGREAT___ invited you to curate the studio 2025 AMV/MAP Animator Studio" "you have potential lowk" These were some of the first messages about my amvs I got from Nate (I got other messages from him) back in 2025 on Scratch. Thanks so much man o7
