Is this project EVER going to come out?

Yes.

Unless my local post office decides to collapse within the next few days.

Anyway, progress continues to be made. (For real.)

Which reminds me...

If anybody knows where I can find (or can get me) a clip of wispy cigarette or candle smoke on a nice, solid, keyable background, please let me know right away!

yea I'm also waiting for Jasper to get the rest of the data from Rose4emily to compile the naratives that I am working on. I will then probably post a sample for you all to see.

Okay. :takes a deep breath:

Finally got the DVDs from Rose today. And looking at what's on them, it looks like we've still got a little ways to go. I will be uploading most of the fullscreen narratives stuff to Bakadeshi soon so he can work on those. Why "most" and not "all"? I'll get into that in a sec.

First things first - I am waiting for high quality (and uncorrupted T__T) versions of these editors' videos:

Bakadeshi
pen-pen
downwithpants

Please get them to me ASAP!

640x480 and 640x352

_________________

And now, the main problem...

In an email a while back, Rose had suggested that we re-record the widescreen narratives that he had voiced, as they were not "clean enough." I was going to wait and see about this, but it looks like Rose really wanted us to re-do them, as he did not include his recordings on the DVDs.

So. Any male editors (with access to decent recording equiptment) willing to fill in?

_________________

Which brings me to the biggest part...

Now that we are in control of recording those narratives, I can move Simplicity to the widescreen section, where it rightfully belongs. (I have talked to Ooshna, and it seems that he too favors such a move.) This, however, creates an even bigger length gap between the two "halves" of the project. 17 minutes!!

Adding in the narratives would widen that gap even more...

So obviously, we are now seriously in need of one, two, or maybe even three more fullscreen videos. Luckily, Songbird has graciously agreed to record narratives for any new videos that we might get. We just need the videos themselves.

So far I've come to know of the following possibilities:

Downwithpants - has a video in progress, may be able to make it for Animasia, but doesn't want to rush things
Bakadeshi - expressed interest but no solid video in mind
Otohiko - expressed interest but no solid video in mind
Ooshna - expressed interest, don't know if he has a solid idea in mind
Tsunami Jones - has a finished/released/catalogued video (I had turned it down because it was already released, and we really need some fresh tracks in this old, old project)
Maverick-Rubrik - expressed interest but no solid video in mind, then got caught up with other stuff

And then there's a video that I myself have been working on recently, and that I should complete within the next week or so. (I was originally planning to submit to AWA Pro, but a number of setbacks threw me offtrack.) It has the feel of Surrealism - with some added flavor from the horror/suspense genre. I'll put up a partial beta if you guys are interested. I'm only hesistant about this because I don't want to oversaturate the project with, well, me. Heh.

However, the video is only 2:27 long. So there's definitely room for more.

Comments on this situation?

I'll spend the next few days collecting ideas from you guys... and proceeding with encoding as planned.

And, on second thought, backing stuff up.

[edit] Happy page 100.

Oh boy, the irony

The project is reborn, and not a post too soon for page 100...

***

You know where I stand on the res - 512 is fine by me, provided it doesn't compromise the video's look.

With the voice - I have good equipment on hand. The voice is the bigger concern, but we'll see - if anyone else can though - PLEASE, do try. I'd rather someone else do it, even if I'd enjoy it, since I think there's better voices for the purpose than mine.

Possible new track - most unlikely from me. So I guess it won't happen at all. That's not neccesarily a very bad thing, given how saturated the project is with my stuff already

Your possible new track - you know what I said. I'm in support. The others had better be too

Unfortunately I won't be able to contribute another pice. I still haven't finished my vid for Project Life.

512 x 384 would be best compression-wise... I'd stay away from 512 x 288 and 640 x 352 since they restrict full screen shots more... Plus black bars don't affect compression very much (since they're basically interleving 24/7 unless it's extremely coarse).

640 x 480 would be extreme for a project more than 10 minutes, so I'd say 512 x 384.

EDIT: I just realized it was in groups of two, not four... silly me. So just keep the last thing I said in mind. :p

Well, anyone used apocliptca yet, was thinking about doing something
along those lines and wouldn't mind making a filler instromental. I'm waiting
on the other tracks for Dark Desires. So, I got sometime on my hands
right now. Just let me know and I can probally whip something up...
