CascadaThon (Betas Due August 10th)

[Hagaren Viper]

TC's beta looks pretty good to me. I'm still not sure about the little boxes, but I think the last one should stay, if nothing else.

For the record, I'm going to be gone all weekend on a mini vacation, so no internet for me.

LA DIDN'T MENTION MY BETA HE MUST HATE ME BAAAAAAAWWWWWWW ;__________;

[Inan]

my beta was from when the mep was letterboxed xDD

[Ghet]

ITT people think i actually cut out those characters =|

people dont know how lazy i am =|

[TwilightChrono]

Yeah, I'm going to fix up that beta as best as I can. The next beta should be the final when I finish it.

I couldn't resist using that anime. It's just too amazing not to use. XD

I should have a new beta for you all tomorrow. XD

Also.....LA, get on AIM as soon as you see this. I needa talk to you.

[Vivaldi]

Sooo... right I was supposed to review TC's track 12 beta.

Spoiler :

0:04, I think the flash could be refined more, perhaps dragging it out over a longer time, as the instruments do.

The boxes seem completely pointless, they're not even showing an important scene, it just feels like a way of shoehorning in more footage. The exception is the last box, in which case the footage has meaning, but still feels out of place.

0:17 The flash needs to fade into the next scene, it feels too awkward


~0:13 it's not really precisly synced, it doesn't fit the pace of the rest of the clip. you cut to and from the same clip 3 times, and altogether it was just headshots of the same two people, So I don't really see relivency to the lyrics or the rest of the amv. Personally I would say use only one or clips with a more sweeping camera motion to get the emotion across, but I don't know the source, so whatever works.

Actually, that first box, portrays him looking out over the sky, and then when she says:

"Surrounded by the comfort and protection of a highest power......"

He get's surrounded by his friends. It's not a useless scene or just a way to add extra footage.

0:17 The flash needs to fade into the next scene, it feels too awkward

I realize this. That will be fixed.

It does fit the pace of the song, and the lyrics. And also, it's not the same scene....it just looks like the same scene is all. Everything I used in this beta is from the disc that had the best footage for me to use. I am in the process of fixing what I can. I will more than likely overlay the boxes. If that doesn't look good to me, then I am taking the box out entirely and more than likely if I can't find something to replace it (like a scene or whatnot) then I will just let it run through the clip. As, the theme is kindness, happiness, friendship and a sort of mysticism. So, everything fits in together so far, in terms of theme and story.

Anyway, I will have a new beta for you all pretty soon.

How is everyone else's beta's coming?
