CascadaThon (Betas Due August 10th)

[Hagaren Viper]

I'll try to leave reviews on everyone's tracks tonight. I just finished mine as well, so hopefully LA will be able to post it up with the others.

[Inan]

i got a 40 SECOND beta for my track if anyone wants to see ill up it to sendspace for them

[LittleAtari]

Alright, Hagaren and Inan's newest Betas are up.

please note that I will be putting any old betas in the Old beta folder. ANything outside of them is new.

[TwilightChrono]

I'm almost done with my beta update. I should have one up on sendspace for everyone sometime soon. Also, thanks Nev. However, I will just be tweaking to Vivaldi's recommendations and that should be it for my beta. I'll still upload for some crit, but I think it's looking rather good.

Inan - Ready for Love
I like the opening better than what you had before, though can you do something about the lipflap at at 0:05? I like the flow for the track until about 0:32. You started up this nice quick beat, but all of the sudden slowed down for no real reason, which really threw me off. You also seemed to try and pick up that beat again at 0:35. So I think you should try and speed those few seconds up.....my gosh, reading this, I sound like Im doing the ultiamte nitpicking there. But I like the track a lot overall.

Kazemon15 - Miracle
Hmm, kind of hard to judge without knowing where you are going to go with the rest of the track. I might suggest have every clip pan a bit, or maybe pulse, but I'll wait and say for sure until I see more. Also, Hare Hare Yukai.

LittleAtari - One More Night
Another one that's kind of hard to judge, cuz of the gaps ^^;
I think there's too much running in the beginning, maybe you should switch up the clips there a bit. But the ending looks really pretty, I like that a lot.

TwilightChrono - Neverending Dream
I'm BEGGING you to add that extra beat at 0:07. That's driving me crazy ;_;
Also, I don't understand the random S&M in there...it kinda seems like the exact opposite of the lyric, lol. I never really said anything, but I like the new scenes at 0:14-18. I know you said you're only going to tweak a few more things, but I wonder if you could revise it so there are simular scenes up to 0:21? Whatever the case, add that beat or I drop.

SakurasLight - Can't Stop the Rain
One of my favorite tracks of the MEP, this one fit really well, and there was real nice sync. Only things are suggest are at 0:21 there seems to be a bot of the window that isnt masked, and at 0:24, it might be fitting if the scenes you used during the lyric "Can't stop the rain from falling" faded out, like the one right at 0:24.
Also, random pantie shot made me lol. Seriously.

HagarenViper - How Do You Do (Instrumental)
Best track ever. Wouldn't change a thing. Gold star.

SakurasLight - Bad Boy
Not the anime I expected with this song, but you made it work pretty well. The pause at 0:06 was really awkward though, regardless of flashes. Might want a scene change or something there. There's something weird going on around 0:12 on the left side of the screen as well, and you might want to touch up the masking at 0:16 a bit. The ending was pretty simple, but I really liked that part as well.

Kazemon15 - Everytime We Touch
First of all, there's this one scene that flashes in 0:02 that has a red oval in it that my eves are always drawn to...what is that? lol

Hm, I liked the pulsing you were doing in your last beta, the beginning kinda loses it's oomph without them. Other than that, no complaints~

Vivaldi - Everytime We Touch
Dude, you're totally done. Awesome track :3

Neverend - Truly, Madly, Deeply
First of all, track 12 seems to be corrupted. For track 13, I never realized what anime you were using, so I was pretty surprised. You made it fit very well! My only nitpicks are that in the very beginning, to me it doesn't make sence that Akira is there, since she doesn't have any kind of relationship with the other girls, and there's some kind of AR weirdness going on at 0:11. But awesome track!

Code - Truly, Madly, Deeply (Instrumental)
Honestly, I have to agree with Neverend, I don't think the anime fits very well, since they are a rock band and this is Techno music, I have a hard time putting them together. ^^;

[Inan]

Hagaren thats what im working on fixing right now since i have BaQuM as one of my main beta testers since hes always on msn, and he said the exact same thing so ill work on that and keep everyone updated

as for the betas i watched

Track1-Ready for love[Inan]
-make the cookie cutters wider, keep the pace, and get rid of the lip flap ;D

Track2-Miracle[Kaze]
-pretty much what hagaren said, some panning would be nice and give it a better feel

Track4-Neverending Dream[TC]
-i like the beggining and the end but the middle part kind of looses the flow and motion you had going in the beggining segment

Track6-Cant stop the rain[Sakuraslight]
-i like it, a lot and i like how well some of the scenes go with the song and the beats you hit with the little white things was pretty cool

track 8-How do you do[hagaren]
-need to watch the updated beta, but from the older one i saw i liked it, the sync and how the track looked all together.

Track10-Everytime we touch[Kaze]
-like it was stated before its a little slow for the song since its an upbeat song but i would like to see what nyou do with the source and the song

Track11-Everytime we touch[vivaldi]
-AWESOME

Track12-truly madly deeply[nev]
-i love AIR and i like the track

Track13-Trully,madly,deeply[nev again]
-i like what you did with lucky star and the part of the song

well theres my two cents

[CodeZTM]

Track1-Ready for love[Inan]
-Awesome, but I would like some horizontal bars.

Track2-Miracle[Kaze]
-Eh... It's too still and needs more action/movement.

Track4-Neverending Dream[TC]
-NIce, but it's a bit scitszofrenic with all the effects everywhere.

Track6-Cant stop the rain[Sakuraslight]
-I love it and wouldn't change a thing.

track 8-How do you do[hagaren]
-I didn't like the first fifteen seconds and the tv like things everywhere, but that's just me. Everything after that is simply awesome.

Track10-Everytime we touch[Kaze]
-It was really slow... O_o But I like where it's going.

Track11-Everytime we touch[vivaldi]
-Change anything and you'd be foolish. It's simply the best track in the bunch.

Track12-truly madly deeply[nev]
-I'm loving where's it's going.

Track13-Trully,madly,deeply[nev again]
-Lubs it, but the scene with the hilll and the car confuses me.

Track 14: Truely, Madly Deeply Instrumental
-Complete bull poopy, redo it you talentless hack.

buhuhuhuhuhuhu /runs away crying

EDIT: My footage has been changed to Loveless. O_o Don't look at me like that. It's actually looking pretty good right now. Well, the whole five seconds I've edited anyway.

[TwilightChrono]

Just got home from the bar. I shall now commence dru k editing XD Or tipsy editintg, whichever you wish to call it, or maybe I should just review XD

Either way, whatever I edit tonight shall henceforth be called epic XD LMAO.

ANyway, in all seriousness, I've procrastinated a little bit and shall review what I can tonight.

I'll post what I can tonight and the rest tomorrow unless I do, do them all tonight.

EDIT:

Inan: I really like this beta. Asa and Kaede make a great centerfold for your track XD I would have to say that the only real big thing that urks me most about this track is the fade to black at the 2 second mark. It's really jarring to me. And personally, with the mood that you have set with the black and white and the color bars thing at the beginning, I really think that you should keep that up throughout. Though, that's just my opinion. As for the flow, I really didn't see it slow down any. That fade at the 2 second mark really killed it for me though. Is there anything you can do about that?

I'll edit this once I review the others. Unless someone else posts first.
