The CascadaThon Thread [IT IS UPLOADED! Check Announcements]

[TwilightChrono]

Seeing as how I just woke up to find a flurry of new opinions....from more people not involved in the MEP, I have a few things to say. Some are agreements and some are disagreements...but keep in mind, I've had my sleep so I"m not mad.

Alright 1:

Was it really ever a question that TC was going to postpone his wedding? The impression that I got from what he said just made it sound like she would be annoyed with him, not that they were moving the wedding on account of a cartoon video.

You are correct sir. She is going to be more annoyed than me that this isn't finished. She's tired of me sitting at this damn computer working on it more than I've spent working on her........

2:

And one more thing to anyone outside this mep. It ain't gonna be Ayumix. We all edited to the best of our ability. Not everyone can overload on AE FX and make it epic looking. So if anyone has a problem with it, then don't freaking watch it That is all. Sorry, I'm in a mood right now. I'm tired of sitting back and being so nice about things. Those are my thoughts, deal with it. <<

My sentiments exactly. For those of you who are expecting an Ayumix/Elysium type of outcome for this MEP.....you are going to be extremely dissapointed. If I wanted this MEP to turn out that way from the beginning, I would have asked for way more than 6 months for completion, and really.....it wouldn't even be close to done by now if that was the case. But...this MEP is not Ayumix OR Elysium. So, for all the whiners from outside the MEP. Tough Shit. Deal With It. And GTFO.

3:

I saw the leaked beta compilation and I really think you guys need to suck it up and just work on it longer. It really looks mediocre so far. Really glad I didn't wind up editing a track for this.

Well, if you had no plans to edit for the MEP, then you shouldn't have signed up. YOUR only goal was to postpone the MEP since you never responded to any of my PM's or responses in the thread. This MEP doesn't concern you.

4:

Also I'm just saying you need to find a balance between being strict and giving people the time they need.

I gave them the time they needed. And I get payed back with procrastination. Which is why this took a whole year. The tracks weren't that long and could have easily been finished in the original alotted time. So, when giving them what they wanted didn't work. I got strict....and look at all the nice shiny work that got done. We are almost done. Makes me wonder what we could have got done if I would have gotten strcter sooner.

5:

Could we get 15 more days to work on this?

Fuck No.

It get's released either tomorrow.....or in 6 more days. Depends on how much work I see getting done.


As for the hands transition to track 4, I WISH there were more frames but sadly, there aren't. And you really like that damned eye transition from 4 to 5? I thought that was one of the crappiest transitions I put in there. Well, It's time for me to get back to Work/Editing on CascadaThon. Any questions and concerns should be addressed now.

There don't really need to be more frames. Just reposition the first mask farther off screen for a couple frames.

( WARNING )

noone dies in this one. ^_^

@Kitsuner: How much longer do you have/need to work on your track 13? Honestly, I think it looks good enough for a final.

@Dar: When will I be receiving track 9? How much more work do you have/need on it?

[Kitsuner]

@Kitsuner: How much longer do you have/need to work on your track 13? Honestly, I think it looks good enough for a final.

I sent you two versions of my final: one with my transitions to the surrounding tracks and one with just my video. They were included in my message asking for the compiled beta.

Crap....my bad...I totally forgot you sent those to me. I'll go take a look at those now.

Another option would be for me to slow down my hand shot so we could move directly from one hand to another. We could have a continuing hand motif going on.

I actually thought that myself, but I wasn't sure how we would transition between your and mine. Actually, I suppose it could be similar to what you already have, except when your hand zooms, my track comes in. This *might* work better because most of the digital tunnel type-things I can think of would be dark in comparison to the rest of my video, but I'm pretty open to working either way.

Also, could I see Dar's track 9 and the credits beta?

[CodeZTM]

TC, just saw my footage on the ending credits. I've got to clean that up. =(

I'll start cleaning/filtering shortly.

[Hagaren Viper]

Excuse my double post, but thoughts on the credits...

Ah, this is much better :3 And Im not being impaled.

I'm sure you're aware, but the credits are missing footage from Track 3, Track 7, and Track 11. And of course it's only fair that they are included as well, yeah? Also, I know Inan wanted to change Track 5 around, so there might be a chance that some of those scenes ill be have to be changed.

0:32, any chance of smoothing out the audio transition?

The little circle-y things look pretty rough around the edged, anything you can do about that? Some of them have some black edged around them as if they were cropped off of something, so those should be removed if possible.

At 0:48, I think you should have a scene from a different track for that last beat instead of TC's track, then use TC's scene after that beat (Does that make sence?).

The scenes start to go off-beat at around 0:55 ^^;

Also, I think you should end at 1:03 with a scene of Sakura rather than Neverend's track.

And you lied, there was NOBODY'S NAME ON THE CREDITS D8

[sakuraslight]

I know there are no names in the credits as i have to retime them

Yes i will be adding updated fottage as it comes to me.

i am aware of the black edges of the Circals and am working on them at the mo.

i am aware thet the sceance go off beat and will change that when i get more fottage.

Sakura at the end sounds like a very good plan thanx for the sugetion Hagaren Viper.

AUDIO: TC will have to sort out

TC track on the Beat change Will be changing that Just easier to leave it in for now.
