CascadaThon 2---OUT NOW!! CHECK ANNOUNCEMENTS FORUM!

[pan_dbgt01]

I was really proud to be a part of this, but I really can't keep re-making things. That part was edited in my style and accepted as it was and personally I like it a lot and have shown it to some people who agree. I also don't have the project file anymore because I used it for something else thinking that it was accpeted in the first place.

Hey guys. I got a couple of issues with a couple of the finals that were sent to me. I was just going over them last night and noticed some issues.

Aimo:

I have some weird slowdown and jumping, like the characters and stuff are twitching through the entirety of the vid. Can you maybe send me a re-render of the final to see if this eleviates the issue? I would be much appreciative. Thanks.

Pan:

On your Ah! My Goddess Final, 15-16 there is a split second clip during a transition that just looks god awful ugly, I didn't notice it before, but I am now. Can you maybe get rid of that and use a fade? It also looks like you used a color bleed there as well. I think just a regular fade would do fine. And at 21-22 there is another one during the flash. Can this be corrected as well? Again, I think a fade would work best here instead of the white flash. That's all that needs to be corrected in your final. Just a couple of the transitions.

I'm sorry if I'm inconveniencing anyone, I just want the parts to go as smooth as possible. I"m actually glad I went over these, else these issues would have carried over to the final project. I just want the MEP to be as good as possible.

Thanks guys.

Also, Jade, your Zero No Tsukaima portion I believe is ready to be finalized. If you could Huffy or lag it and send it my way I would love ya to death

Same goes for you Hagaren. Your Beta is ready to be finalized. huffy or lag it and send it my way and I will love ya to death

Also, if I can't get anyone for the credits, I have an amazing idea I wanna try. Just letting you all know. And I promise. I'll have my full beta to ya soon for review. Sorry it's taking so long, in the process of about to move AGAIN.......I think.

I don't see a colour bleed.

I'm not that bad or horrible of a person to make you go back and remake your entire part. I don't see a problem leaving it as is. I was just curious if you still had the project files if you could just finish those 2 transitions, but it's fine. I'm just glad everyone is being so cooperative here compared to the last CascadaThon. I had to fight tooth and nail about 75-80% harder than I am with you guys

So, guys I have to thank you for being awesome and making my job a hell of a whole lot easier this time around.

Your part is fine Pan. It was just an idea. I wasn't gonna force you to do it if you didn't want to.

EDIT: Guys, if you haven't checked it out yet, then please do so:

Alright. Thanks a lot! If you can just try to fade it out when you make the final. I'm not sure where the colour bleed is tho, I'm pretty sure I just used disslove to white and a white color under fades. I did have a negative effect in before that was removed. I'm sorry, I just got a little upset becasue I've been getting no editing time at all lately.

I just want everones tracks to be the best they can be with any flaws removed. Just want this project to be a big improvement over the last. We are almost done people.

[TwilightChrono]

ALRIGHT GUYS. LISTEN UP. GUESS WHO'S BACK WITH A BRAND NEW TRACK?

YOUR TASK THAT I NEED ALL OF YOU TO DO:

1. COME UP WITH A SENTENCE BETWEEN 1-10 WORDS DESCRIBING YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING ON CASCADATHON 2
2. SEND IT TO ME THROUGH PM. I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE THIS FROM ALL OF YOU.

AS MY CREDITS VERSION IS ALMOST DONE. THIS IS THE ONLY THING MISSING. I'LL HAVE A FULL BETA OF THE CREDITS FOR YOU GUYS SOON BUT I NEED THIS FIRST BEFORE I WANNA SEND IT YOUR WAY. I PROMISE YOU'LL LIKE IT. IT MAY ONLY NEED A FEW TWEAKS, BUT I NEED FROM YOU WHAT I POSTED ABOVE. THANKS. BE SURE TO DROP IT IN MY PM BOX. IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CREDITS IDEA I GOT. SAD THING IS, THIS MAY BE SHIT TONS BETTER THAN MY ACTUAL TRACK, LOL. CONSIDERING THE TYPE OF SONG AND FOOTAGE I AM EDITING WITH.

GET IT TO ME ASAP PEOPLE!!

EDIT: Hey Hagaren. Whats up with Dar's part for your track? I"m confused. I haven't heard anything from him. I should PM Him.

ALSO GUYS!! BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR INBOX'S IN ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO. I"LL HAVE A FULL OPENING CREDITS BETA SEQUENCE FOR ALL OF YOU!!

[Hagaren Viper]

EDIT: Hey Hagaren. Whats up with Dar's part for your track? I"m confused. I haven't heard anything from him. I should PM Him.

Honestly, I havent a clue, I dont think Ive heard from his since you have. ^^;

Ill send you my sentence later.

[TwilightChrono]

Alright guys. I sent you all the full beta for the opening credits. Remember to post your thoughts here and not through PM.

If I missed sending it to anyone let me know.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This has got to be the first time in a very long time where something went the same way I pictured it in my head, lol. And never mind about the sentences i asked for. They aren't needed anymore.

i went on a 3 day power editing trip with this since i was off work. Hope you guys enjoy.

I like your beta TwilightChrono., but there are a few things I would like it mention That fade is a bit strange at about 0:24 though, and at the end when you stop that scene (so I geuss you made a picture of it or something like that) the quality seems bad, pixely and a bit blury, and also at 0:17 when she sings "floor" and then the scene gets darker like a black fade, well it might just be the anime, but I think you should do something with it. The blur at 0:16 was annoying at first but after watching it a few times it's not bad xD The colors of the scene at about 0:44 doesn't seem right, and I actually had a similar problem with another source, the colors were off, but what I did was jsut deleted the frames that weren't nice, even though in this case the whole scene is like that, but maybe you could just color the scene so that it won't be seen. Also, this is a kind of credits, right? I think that some of the names disappeared too quickly and it doesn't contain the anime that was used, or there will be another credits? It was nice though, I like it
(btw did you use the version of the song cut that I did? )

This looks pretty darned good, has nice energy, sync and the lipsync works well considering they already have specific lip movements. Nice work! Just a couple of pointers.

* The flow would probably be better if you got rid of the 'backstage' in the beginning [Not the scene itself, just the text in the very beginning].

* I think the subtitle style you had for the Behind The Scenes video looked better than what you have here, think you change change 'em?

* Names could look a bit better, as they are just kinda 'there'. A bit of motion, maybe different color/play with some layer properties to get some different kind of blending?
