PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING:

1. I am not trying to lip sync ANYWHERE! It is just lip flap that I plan on fixing later.

2. When the little girl is wringing the boys neck, I do know there is a slight delay in a few frames, which I am also going to repair.

3. The ending title is a work in progress. I'm still tinkering with a logo, but just stuck the text there to give it something to look at.

Lemme know what you guys think!

First off, I love the song choice (Who sings this btw?). But my main problem with this is that it seems less like an intro and more like just another segment. There should be text in there at some point (IMHO). Like our names and such. I dunno. I mean it's well done--it just doesn't feel very...intro-y (My new word). To me it should feel like an anime opening. *Dodges tomatoes*

No, don't worry about offering advice. I see exactly where you are coming from! If everybody else agrees, I'll start adding names & text.

BTW - Did everybody like the text towards the end? I'm thinking about using it for the text.

Short answer? This is my first try at this and I didn't want to completely overwhelm myself. I'm making allowances for the MEP to be longer, that's what the secondary contributors are for: I'm fully expecting those videos to be excellent and hence included in the project.

CodeChrono: I agree with Wendy on the names, but that's something we can determine when I've got a finalized list of participants and such. I like the way you're doing the transitions, it will work well with text - I see the text sliding in from the other direction as the video a few frames after the main video clip has settled... Not sure how that will look, but it's something to try maybe?

LOVE the song. It fits with the theme perfectly. Awesome choice!

The end logo is cute. ^^ My first reaction was to go, "awww!" However, I'm not 100% sure that "cute" is what we should be going for here... What does everyone else think?

all the above ... plus aspect ratios ....

I third the song choice, freaking win ...

I agree. It needs to be sharper. More "tough".

Thanks. I'll work on making the logo better and more "tough" looking, as well as adding text. Video qualiy and aspect ratio will be fixed upon finalization.

Rawr! I have a new computer, yay!

So, if anyone has betas they want to send my way, feel free to do so, as now I can actually watch them.

Now that you have a new computer, I can ask (without guilt whatsoever) for my beta I sent you. I need it to go off of, in order to re-build my track (which I have plenty of time mind you, seeing as I have already met my first deadline with both of my tracks).

As for the intro, I'm working on a logo, which will need strong female characters. I'd love to have imput on who you would like for these, as I don't want to be too heavily biased. I'm pretty sure Rosette Christopher is going to be on there no matter what though. X_X

I'll put it up somewhere when i get home from work.
As far as the characters....
Rosette, Juliet, Misato (NGE), Rem (Or Meryl, Trigun), Lina Inverse (Slayers), Sophie (Howl's Moving Castle), Integra Hellsing (Hellsing), Izumi (FMA), Yukino Miyazawa (Kare Kano / His and Her Circumstances), I can't remember her name, but the main chick from RahXephon.... not Quon, the one who's in love with Ayato....
Everyone else please feel free to chip in, as I know there are a TON I missed, but I gotta go or I'll be late!
