Yaoi Dream Puppets MEP (Released...you read right, RELEASED)

[CodeZTM]

Autraya: Uh, maybe I worded that wrong. O_o'

Dang me. What I meant to say was to send me both of the audio and video uncompressed, and I'll get everything situated.

Also

My segment has white stuff flickering at the top. O_o'

It didn't have that before, when I sent the final?

[kikai_saigono]

Wow the project looks so gerat @_@ I was out of the picture so much that I barely got to see any betas, but everyone's segment was uber awesomeness :D
:up:

Anywho, I have nothing to add to what the others said, since it has been mentioned before...except one thing....

I dunno if this was one of those things that you've already fixed in the final track, but on my track when Heero is maniacally laughing in the 'picture' *looks at timestamp* at about... 19:48 to 19:50 flashes oddly...and it was not supposed to do that...O.o It flashes the black a lot....

[kiarrens]

1. Yes, wow. The audio does sound horrible. U_queen, I'm gonna send you another version - nothing is moved as far as transitions, I just played with the filtration a little. I'll send you the wav like I did last time, just expect for it to take awhile for me to get it up on megaupload.... the finals WAVs are huge and I can only upload at very specific times of the day (specifically, when my BF is NOT playing WoW.)

2. The transition between FFVII and Evangelion. I don't think the removal of the letterboxing really worked there.... maybe a quick fade into black, then when you fade back in the letterboxing is gone? Either that or leave the letterboxing at the very beginning of the Eva segment then slowly fade it out over like, 10 frames or so.

3. The white flashes at the top of the video in the Eva segment isn't anything you did wrong. It was on the original - they're on my Kare Kano DVDs too. A slight crop will take care of them, or leaving the letterboxing, but the crop would probably work better.

4. The transition from Eva to the next one really needs to be a fade into / out of black. The second segment comes in far too abruptly. It also seems like the timing may the teeniest bit off on this segment - maybe just timeline placement of the segment?

5. Transition between Hikari no Go (I think that's the name of it) and Fruits Basket doesn't work. It either needs to be a black fade, or the Fruits Basket black and white piano keys need to start when you can actually hear the musical cues for them - as it is, we see the first one before we hear a musical cue, and it looks very out of place.

6. Transition between Fruits Basket and FMA - did you put some sort of color filter on that? Just curious... it looked a little funny.

7. Just before 11:36 (in my segment, FMA) there's a weird little glitch... the aspect looks like it widens a smidge horizontally?

8. Is the timing off a little bit in the Naruto segment also? (Love the transition between mine and Naruto, though, looked great!)

9. Not too crazy about the transition between Naruto and Ranma, but then I've always been very critical of canned effects.... And again with the timing seeming to be off a teensy bit.

10. Is the timing on the S-cryed (sp?) one ok?

11. The beginning of the Wolf's Rain segment also seems to start very abruptly, before the musical cue. Perhaps a fade out of black on that one is in order until just before the music starts?

12. At the very end, the music ends very abruptly.

[CodeZTM]

Eww..

If the eva segment was on the original, would you be willing to wait for me to remake and reupload it? It would take me about 2-3 days? I wouldn't mind at all.

[Autraya]

10. Is the timing on the S-cryed (sp?) one ok?

XD i wasn't paying enough attention obviously... no it's deffinately out and off beat

That's how it was in the original? Ok, just making sure... it'd be very easy to offset it just the teeniest bit when importing onto the full project timeline, which is what I was referring to.

[u_queen]

ZOMG! Long post!

I can compress it to MP4 for you.

If the eva segment was on the original, would you be willing to wait for me to remake and reupload it? It would take me about 2-3 days? I wouldn't mind at all.

Ah, thank you. I really suck using this

Err, no. I can fix that.

The only thing I was wondering, for my track at the very beginning, would it be possible to fade it in?

I'm working on it, well, your track stars with silence; that's why I didn't want to lenghten more the black screen ¬_¬

I can hardly wait to see the whole thing, are you still planning on getting this shown at Yaoi-Con?

Eh, yes. The last thing I knew was the Wired Knight asking me for the mep lenght.

Spelling/capitalization stuff

I already fixed that. Just one question, does this apply for the anime names too?

And I noticed my segment had become slightly unsynced in parts.

In which parts? I arranged it on the whole and used the bath part with the drop, so I didn't notice something else was usync.

also there needs to be some post processing done, 90% of the tracks look like they have a out of focus blur - they need sharpening/denoising etc.... are you using a different .avs to import each huffy/lag?

XD i wasn't paying enough attention obviously... no it's deffinately out and off beat

Yes, I'm using diferent scripts for each segment (it was suposed that they were all clean, I did this myself for most of the clips).

I tought it was ok I can fix it if you think is unsync.

when Heero is maniacally laughing in the 'picture' *looks at timestamp* at about... 19:48 to 19:50 flashes oddly...and it was not supposed to do that...O.o It flashes the black a lot....

That's funny, I didn't repair this until you said it. Honestly I tought you wanted to make something unexpected for that part

7. Just before 11:36 (in my segment, FMA) there's a weird little glitch... the aspect looks like it widens a smidge horizontally?

9. Not too crazy about the transition between Naruto and Ranma, but then I've always been very critical of canned effects.... And again with the timing seeming to be off a teensy bit.

7. That was a mistake of me. Here's the problem, one of my HD basically died (my bro took it and I wasn't aware of it until it was too long). So I exported the uncompressed in three segments but the firts one has diferent AR. I'm sure you didn't noticed where the third does start, so you won't see this in final

9. The song is so diferent that I decided to use a "diferent" transition. In this case I leave it there, for me it fits perfectly.

For all the other blurness, jigged, flicking was because of the compression and why 320x240? it was only for size purpose; the final will be 648x480.

Spelling/capitalization stuff

No, it doesn't. Japanese capitalization rules are different from English, and since several of the titles are untranslated, you'd be best off just checking each title for correctness on an official anime information site.

Um, I think ours is off by a beat- after looking Aut and I concur- it's behind by a beat. The footage is a few frames behind the music, not sure how many, but definately some frames behind. Ours is not meant to be widescreen and the image is stretched -_-;

Completely unrelated: Savvy-san, I'm in love with your end piece (incest aside)- but I don't know one of the anime's- the one with the red-hair bishies! I'm going to die a long and painful death if I don't find out what they're from! It's the long red haired bishies that seem to be flying mostly- what anime is it from?!?!?! *clings*

[Takefuji]

Sweetdeily :3 I do believe those redheaded lovelies you're referring to are Luke and Asche from Tales of the Abyss. It's an RPG for the Playstation 2.
