Thanks for the Input, I figured I would need some corrections done :)

A few minutes later..
Typos corrected and I added light-blue to the credits for readablity.
The new verison is up on the first page, use the same link for download.

As for the other question, the ending will have the special thanks
to Anime Boston on it (for running it at the con)... if all the huffies
come in on time.:)

with a one month editing and a 1 minute and few seconds section per editor, i think it is possible to have ready for Anime Boston.

just downloaded the fixed version, looks better, the typos are fixed but the letters are still kinda blurred.

Hmm.... I'll see what I can-do I think it's the shadow settings.
Hopefully I won't need to redo the titles, just mess with the shadow
settings or turn them off.

A few mintues later:
It was the tranpercy settings, I fixed it in this one ;)
And I decided to mess with the background footage less...
It was throwing off the feel I was looking for.

Same deal, check page one for this verison.

I'll get you a Huffy by the end of the week. Need to spend maybe half an hour tweaking up the timings.

I agree that the text is really hard to read.

Also, for my source listing, I'd like it to be noted that Stink Bomb is from Memories. So something like "Memories: Stink Bomb" or "Memories (Stink Bomb)".
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

She and Her Cat, yay!

I was born to be a proofreader, though. :? This is going to sound really bad, so I apologize in advance. I really like the opening titles, but the typos bother me.

- In song titles, capitalize every word except "the", "of", "an", "a", "and", things like that. Unless the artist has specifically set a weird capitalization for it, which I don't believe REM has for any of these (if at all). I noticed "Frequency" and "My" (in "Losing My Religion") got lost. (also, "World" in It's the End of the World, and "Her" in She and Her Cat.)

- It's "Nightswimming," no capital in the middle.

- It's "The Great Beyond," with a "the." *double-checks CD* Yeah.

- I'm guessing it's supposed to be "REM Sleep," the pun between the band's name and the sleep state, unless this is secretly all about Vash's mom. ;)

- The type this time has some odd antialiasing or something going on around the edges.

- I like the "Sec. 1" being included. "Sec. 2" shows in a flash around the middle, though, and it's so fast that it makes my eyes think I've missed part of the credits.

As for the typeface... I... have a deep and abiding loathing for Comic Sans, and I think the whole thing would look great if it were in a simple white sans-serif like SAHC's title at the beginning. But that's a personal problem. :p


But it's mostly the typos. I really like the choice of anime and the editing, though. I'd never have thought of that for that song, but it really works.

...this was meant to be an encouraging post, really. :oops: I like the intro a lot apart from that.

Errr... just to clarify, I think fixing the capitalization/typos to be exact makes the final product look a lot more polished and professional. Not that this isn't an amateur work, but I think it helps the whole package. Oh, you know what I mean.

Well, I fixed the typos ..at least I hope :)
I figured the song was so dreamy, random it seemed nothing
would be the right footage for it and then I thought. What if I just
do it as if he was talking to her as the audience? Then it seemed
to work better.

Noticed that also. I thought it was just me for some reason (my computer's been acting all strange since I put XP on it O_o).

And as long as we're correcting grammar I thought I'd point out that there's a comma in 'What's The Frequency, Kenneth?' :D
