When do you know that you have it just right, or is it constant changes up until, or after, you post?
This moment comes, when I had an idea or concept, and found all outside sources on google etc. Often, I change my concept during the search, and thats the thing making me most fun.

Are there any tips and/or tricks that you would like to pass along to less experienced choppers?

Google, and sometimes selfmade fotos.
In your opinion what makes a good chop?
Clean technics, fitting lights and colours and a (funny) idea behind that all.
Do you have a system to get things started?
Have you ever completed a chop and then decided not to enter it in the contest? If so, why?
Yes, I thought it would not reach my own level.
After you finish your chop do you just post it or seek opinions of family and/or fellow choppers first?
If some one finds a fault in your work do you change it or stay with what you posted?
What qualities do you look for when deciding to vote on a chop?
Some member prefer not to vote for filtered chops or animations. Is there any particular style/type of chop you won't vote for?
Mostly caleidoscope-pattern-entries.
Time is always a factor, how much time do you spend on a chop and how much time is too much?
I had chops from 5 Minutes (became even 2.!) and 9 hours (became also 2.).
We all love to get votes. Now are you a constant vote checker or do you just let it go and check once a day? (be honest)
As long as I am online, each single vote is received personally by me!
