Yeah that's a great idea. Could you send the others the access?

Yup, it's better this way because now people can't peak on what is going on

I'll send the access right away! YESSIR!

but please, don't give the information to anybody else : /

EDIT

Ok. info sent, if i forgot anyone, let me know.

So here is a short beta (quality sux, its an early beta so i didn't want to upload a larger file onto the server, gonna be easier this way for now).
WC Annihilus couldn't tell me how his part is going to end so i thought a TV like transition is going to be fine. Sky, looks like you gonna have to make that transition, i've started with a TV scene, you'll have to mask his segment into mine so it looks natural, well, we'll see how it turns out.
As for the segment itself, it's not finished as you'll see, and from about 0:05 i'll make something complex in the foreground to sync to the fast beats, almost till the end, so this whole shit is mainly a background, i'm thinking about a mask of some sort, i'll try some stuff out.
I'm curious whether you like my transtition into Greg's part. Tell me

P.S.: I hope you haven't lost your sense of humour Greg!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I laughed

As for the actual beta, pretty good. I really think those shapes that you started overlaying at about 0:07 need to be moving around waaaay faster. And do you think you could try and sync something to the drum roll near the end of your part? Flashes, something would be really nice IMO.

But you said you're going to be doing some more complex stuff, and as a template this is excellent, EXACTLY the mood and pacing I'm looking for from everyone else, so very nice work

Hmm, interesting beta. I just have a few issues with the transition :

-The text flashes by way too fast. I barely had time to let the insults register.

-The gay-o-meter bar needs feathered edges! I'd expect at least that much from you.

-There is a g or 7000 missing on my name.

-Fag is offensive.

-Fuck you.

Besides, that, pretty good stuff! I'm leaving for 10 days now, and when I get back, I want to see your ass on AIM, pronto. Expect a new video from me as well that day

Okay, maybe i'll try out some other shapes as well while making it faster.
Yeah, i'll sync to that too.

Sorry, this was the first word i could come up with that rhymes with your name.

haha, nice kaxi. That poetry was beautiful, it touched my soul.

As for the footage for the TV thing, when you focus on the purple girl, instead of putting her in the tv, maybe a do a overlay on the other footage to make it look like a reflection of her watching TV, then doing a spin so it looks like the camera is doing a 180 turn to face her.
And the scene around:05 with the sun, it would be uber cool if you found a way to have the sun reflected off her eyes when she opens them, or something.

BTW, i was thinking about doing something interesting for my part ....can you say 'nipple collage'?

But i have to figure out how to work that in ....any ideas?

Also, the gateway folder is up, feel free to drop stuff into it. And um ....kaxi ...our AMV folder is gone ... you didn't delete that did you? ...
