CascadaThon 3-FINISHED!!

[Hagaren Viper]

Honestly, this AKB anime seems to be perfect for the song, and SAO is just kinda...there...and I think no matter what you use fron Inuyasha it would just feel thrown in because it would REALLY clash with the other two sources. Why not just use AKB0048? As far as that's concerned I really like what you have.

Why not just use AKB0048? As far as that's concerned I really like what you have.

Well, the problem with using AKB only is I don't have the space on my CPU to convert anymore AKB. Since I don't have the DVD's and have to use MKV's, it can get quite spacy. I would suggest waiting for the complete beta before condemning it. Without an external and only 30 gigs to work with, I don't have a lot of options. and my Inuyasha and SAO take up about 4 gigs alltogether. Ontop of all my games I have installed I don't have a lot of room and I'm not gonna uninstall my MMO's and games XD (Which take up a majority of my space.

Also, that one AKB bit you see in the beta is the only scene like that in the entire anime aside from the part in the last episode. Which really isnt that long.

Sounds like excuses I know but at least give the full thing a chance. I should be able to pump out a full beta sometime today for you guys. As I need to get it done to work on the AAC Intro. So, timely responses would be appreciated. As I want to get my track done ASAP. As I know Code wants to start compiling with what he has.

The theme I'm going for is Fighting and Romance on the Dancefloor. I'm also mainly editing to what is being said in the song and trying to keep pace with that. Anywho, changes will be made once I hear back from you guys on the full Beta. I just wanted to get general impressions for now so I can work with em as I finish the full beta.

[SatoshiSakura]

The main thing I noticed in yours is with the beginning, when the intro text comes in, its kinda jagged looking around the edges, other than that, I liked it. Though, you probably should try to avoid using InuYasha, like Hagaren said, it'll be too clashy. These spurces fit the song better with the animation style and colors.

[Kazemon15]

Guess I should like...send a beta huh? XD

Now that Disney is out of the way, I'll focus on this one, so I won't give poor Code a heart attack to get everything done in time....^^;

[CodeZTM]

I'm sad. I was going to look up heart attack gifs. No luck, too many blocks here at work.

@kazemon15: I like what I'm seeing thus far! Can't wait to see more. Minor bits here and there, but I'll wait till I see the full beta before I cast judgement.

@tc: The intro still has that funky bit of edges around the letters. Otherwise, I'll wait for the full beta before nitpicking anything. I actually like the SAO bit, since it does kind of look like dancing battles. But if you're going for this, I'd tone it down on the dancing girls just a tad and add more battlefield fighting, so long as it has a consistent "perky" color to it. SAO bits have the really neon green and bright yellow/pink colors for the sword attacks. The rest of the filler anime might include some really colorful bits and add a bit of consistency.

@hagaren: editor block. LOL. Also, EXCELLENT transition. I love you. ;________; Definitely has a better editing feel to it than the first bit. Can't wait to see it finished.

Oh, and TC, this should update the main page correctly. I still don't know what anime Inan has, but everything else (including me taking the Persona 3 track) should be updated.

@icardioid:
First thing I want to ask is what frame rate are you editing this at? Because I'm seeing some horrific frame blending going on. D; So make sure you're editing at the right fps to avoid that. It makes everything look so much cleaner.

Spoiler :

I think I mentioned before:

for 0:15 when it splits into the boxes, I feel like it should change scenes at the first beat before it expands. The positioning of the boxes could also be straightened a bit since it feels like they're being scaled at different rates. Oh and a gradual fade to black&white might help with the mood too.

Also:
0:03 - weird cut/zoom to the beat doesn't really fit since it's not really used anywhere else. And from the start until 0:08, using so many facial shots is kinda boring. If you want to beat sync, instead of a new facial cut for each beat, try and use scenes where there's more movement like....running/attacks/light beams shooting out somewhere/wide arm movements...that kinda thing and just cut them at the beats instead. That tends to make actiony sections look much nicer with better flow.
0:14 - intense flashing is so intense. x__x perhaps you should tone this down a bit. Same with 0:21. The contrast is also quite high here, so might want to reduce that along with the brightness and it should be less taxing on the eyes.
0:26 - I don't think the lipflap/sync here works since it's more noticeable than the other one at 0:35 which actually works because of your scene placements.
0:31 - I think the transformation scene should be a few frames earlier so it ends on "control" and I don't think you need the flash on the girl scene right after.
0:33 - the scene synced to "uh-huh" here should be longer and faded out to black since this section is more lyric sync heavy than beat sync heavy. Then remove the flash for the hand/card scene afterwards and sync it to "I never" right after the "uh-huh". It'll look a lot smoother.
0:34 - The gleam synced to the beats are pretty cool. But I would use a light flash to transition from this scene to the next so it fits with the gleam. Right at the end of 0:35, you can hear a light...I think is it a harp noise? You can sync the flash to that.
0:38 to the end - more beat sync or more action/flow scenes, since it feels a little slow just now.

@tc:

Spoiler :

x2 on what code said. The AKB fits really well and so does the SAO part, but there's too little SAO for it to have any impact at all in the track so either make it fully AKB (if you can find the space) or add more SAO so the 2 balance out. You also might want to fix that funny edge on the letters in the intro from the zoom, it looks really weird. And from 0:13 until Kirito appears on screen, you could do a little camera shake/blur on the text and maybe even add some overlays in the background so it doesn't feel so still/empty. And speaking about the mask, you should lessen the feather and sharpen the mask itself instead. Oh and a saturation adjust effect on the SAO parts should help with the colour difference between that and the AKB parts.

@hagaren:

Spoiler :

Nice card there at 0:02. For the first second there's these really light beats in the background which I would suggest either overlay syncing or using some really light flash/flickering effect. But then this depends highly on what you're adding in that black space after it. I also feel that at 0:14, you should mask/cookie cutter out the 3 rectangles and sync them to appear onscreen to the 3 lighter musical beats in the background. Actually I think there might be 4 beats in total, so you could use the last one to add a light flash or something to the scene. xD But otherwise, I think it's pretty good so far. :3 And also LOL at the editing block part. XD

@kaze:

Spoiler :

I really like this so far but I feel like the track has less focus because there's 4 people. Instead I think you should pick one pairing and make the track based on them fully so the song's lyrics are emphasized more. Personally while I adored the Lloyd/Colette part, I felt like Sheena and Zelos fit the lyrics better because Lloyd and Colette's love is too sweet for me to consider it "bad" and the thought of Lloyd ever abandoning Colette is absurd. xD Whereas I can see that sort of thing happening with Sheena and Zelos.

Well, I picked two because....even thought Sheena and Zelos do fit more, they hardly have ANY moments in the series itself, plus Lloyd has all the "action" scenes which Im going to use for the second half... plus

Spoiler :

if only Lloyd and Zelos fought in the OVA like in the game, it would have been a nice perfect addition, but alas, they didn't...but I'm still gonna work it out somehow...

True. That does pose quite a problem. I've been re-listening to your track and I'm thinking you could probably get away with just Lloyd and Colette. Maybe how Colette is pushing Lloyd away and suffering on her own as a Chosen? That might go well with lyric sync. Well maybe not literal lyric sync the whole thing because then I'd have no idea how you'd manage "big bad love" XD but something metaphorically about their relationship might work just as well.

Thanks for all the input guys. Also, Code. Me sees a typo besides my name up top. What final of mine has been recieved? Is there another me out there somewhere? Seems some of the finals bits in yoru post need to be switched around.

As far as the letter in the opening go, I'm gonna have to hide the jaggedness with something. My CPU doesn't have the necessary processing power to fix those jagged letters. I've already re-rendered it 3 times with no luck.

As far as saturation adjust goes, that is just the color of SAO. Can't do much about how the anime itself is colored. It does look somewhat different in color compared to AKB, but that's because AKB is meant to be sparkly and pretty. SAO is drawn and color to best suit it's action.
