SOAD2: Why's The Rum gone? (Completed. Finally.)

I'm almost done Shimmy. Once I sober up enough for my monitor to stop moving and once the strobe effect in Premiere decides to stop being bitchy. *^_^*

YAY!!!!! Finally got something!! *^_^* Here's my beta. If its ok, then I'll send the lossless. If there's anything you think should be changed (or if it just plain sux

), let me know and I'll fix it. *^_^*

I did

so you better let it stay!

my Only Real Issue would be the "stuff that goes over the borders" (0:34, 0:35, 0:42). I don't like when zooms (and similiar stuff) go over the borders when your using a 16:9 source.

and probably remove the strobes around 0:30, They felt akward to me..would probably look better if you'd crossfade those scenes.

Oh..and when it says "education", I though you should probably sync the way he says it..like.."Ed-U-cation" (its pretty much just adding a few more scenes there).

In general I liked what you did..I was somehow missing a few more impacts here and there (especially on the screaming), but thats probably the anime's fault...

I liked it.

And now I have to get back to bed..too much alcohol and this rum finished me off...

Kev hath spoken. Even so, there is probably a few a would keep in anyway.

Ok. Some of them are manual zooms, which can be cropped/fixed. some are zoom transitions (because I thought extra movement was needed.) I can take those out and use something different. (Or put a black bar photoshop layer over the entire vid so that even with the zooms, nothing goes outside the "lines")

What strobe? The only strobe near 0:30 is the one on the "Yeah" text. Unless you mean you want all the scenes in the "Shimmy, Shimmy, Shimmy til the break of dawn, yeah!" part crossfaded. Or the Shimmy text done differently. Or is it the spaces between the "I think me, I want a house and a wife" clips? (Or all the above?)

Can do. *^_^*

Glad it was ok. I'll take another look to see if there's any more that can be done about the hits. But yeah. No guarantees there.

I'm glad. Now sleep. I will most likely turn in another beta. (And if anyone else had any suggestions together with what's already been said before then, go ahead and post.) Then, if that one is ok, I'll go ahead and submit my final. YAY!!!! Almost done!!! *^_^*

I found a bug:
At 00:18: The black bars of the 2 scenes above are overlaying the one beneath.
All other stuff has been said.

I've been threating some people to finish their stuff for some time already..still I doubt everyone will make the deadline

But I'll make sure to kick everyone who wont be finished by february 9th, BUT if no one else took the Track and they send in a final after the deadline I'd still gladly take it.

Tommorow I have an essay.
After that I should be able to finish my track the next days. Although it was complete already, I want to change some things, to make it better than it is.

I'll give you your tracks by the 9th.. I can't promise Questions will be perfect though, considering the fact that I might need more time with it (sayy an extra 2 days, 3 hours and 14minutes? =O)
