The year was 2001, I was 11 years old just starting Middle School and recovering from a brain tumor surgery I had the summer before I started Middle school. Before the surgery I was a very active kid that couldn’t sit still, even in class and I climbed everything whether it was a tree,refrigerator, anything that was taller then me I climbed. I was addicted to the monkey bars to the point I had to wear gloves to protect my hands and I was fast in races too. After the surgery the doctor told me that I had to take an easy for a year or 2 which at 11 years old was a big bummer for me because I loved being active,rough and riding roller coasters at 6 flages every year so yeah I had to put my endless active energy somewhere else and that’s when I started to teach myself how to make and edit videos using Windows Movie Maker on my Windows 94 at home at the time. I had seen amazing music videos on YouTube before it got owned by Google and I told myself “yeah I want to do that” and I didn't go on the internet to look up how to edit, nope I got good by practice and trial and error! Yes it was illegal taking anime clips from sites and using music that wasn’t mine in the amv and posting them on YouTube but that’s how I got good over the years and by the time I reached High school my video editing skills were at the pro level good with being good at applying transitions at the right time and timing the music and appropriate scene at the right moment depending on the lyrics of the song. When I got to MATC after High school I learned how to use Adobe Premier pro and got even better after learning how to apply graphic images from Photoshop and using them for animations to how to put a image on a green screen which is kinda tricky for me even now.
