BETA UPDATES:
-Reviews-
HagarenViper:
- Some of the outlines on your masked characters were cut off. Add an outline around them from the Motion tracking.
- Some the characters seem to be jerking slightly. What method did you use to get them to go accross the screen? Check keyframes on them to see what happened there.
- I feel that the 2nd doesnt get much face time
- He also doesnt come in on a beat like the other two characters.
sakuraslight:
- I'm not really feeling the flashes from 0:06 - 0:14. Generally, flashes are okay, but it goes on too long while not much is happening with the actual footage.
- 0:11 - 0:13, you pan too much to the right that on the left side, we start to see on the footage from the track beneath in and later on a black bar forms right there.
-Also I know you're trying with your masks and I understand that Ulead only allows you to do a really rough chroma key, but the edges are pretty rough and we start to see a white outline. You have two choices here: You make the entire scene yourself in photoshop or you may just give me 2 lossless files of that segment (one of sakura running and the other of everything else that's in the background) and I can mask it for you.
TC:
- The flashes of the guy and girl together at :08 are too quick, you could actually take that out because you begin an important part of your story right there. I recognize that you wanted to establish them as a couple. So in order to still establish them and enhance your story, you can use that same shot on the previous beat, removing one of the shots of the ex-fiance. This way you have ex-fiance, man, current girl friend/wife, and women that wants to be with him.
- There are parts where we get lost in the fanservice namely, from 0:16 - 0:17, :23 - :24, however I think that the swim scene can be moved over into the part where you show the pink haired girl training or when she's with her husband.
- 0:25 - 0:29, You told me before that there was going to be story there, but dont seem to have made room for it in this beta.
- Flashes of the picture of the pink haired girl kissing the guy were not noticible until I the video in Vdub and scrubbed frame by frame. Find a way to make that more visible. This can be done by extending how long that footage is on the screen. If you feel that this gets in the way try masking the characters walking and flashing it in the background behind them.
-Other Beta Info-
Vivaldi and Kazemon, I was wondering since your tracks only needed minor tweaking if it would be possible to get a final beta sooner. This way I can request your lossless sooner. I know that the beta deadline is April 5th and this is why I'm going open about this. It's more of a matter of me getting your lossless just in case anything were to happen to your project & source files.
Loloka, I've noticed that you have been working on your track from your journal entries. If possible I'd like to see what you've got done so far or set up a 1st beta deadline for you.
sakuraslight, how does end of February sound for a beta deadline of your 'Can't Stop the Rain' track?
-Other-
Overall, great work everyone. I understand why it's gone quiet since the first beta deadline (We needed to get reviews out and the next deadline is a little way down). In general, we'll go back to what we were doing before with casual betas here and there while talking over messenger.
I'm so excited. We'll make this mep awesome.

Take a deep breath. It's alright. I dont want you to rush anything, ok? When I get a beta from you, I want you to be fair with yourself and give it your all. So how does a deadline on February 28th sound for your first beta? It doesnt have to be a full beta, but you should have a good amount done that shows that you've gotten started. The second beta deadline that everyone else has is the same for you though. When you can, I would like to check your quality so you may upload a clip as soon as possible.LoLoka wrote:ps...sorry but i cannot enter MSN or anything as such..my laptip is very weird..but this coming week i swear i'll upload something on rapidshre so u can check out the quality and stuff

To everyone else, I have mid-terms this week, so you wont be seeing much of me. I'll log on at night when I can and check this thread to see if there are any questions. I may occasionally pop in on AIM or MSN, but I'm not sure how much and if I'm on, I'll most likely be on late at night. Best way to reach me is via PM or this thread. You guys have TC to ask questions to and I'll talk to him when I can to get any updates if there is any. Or you guys can all take a break for one week (only not really, but I wouldnt know either way)
Raep, I will finish up what you need in the next day.
