CascadaThon 3-FINISHED!!

Code Beta Review:

I actually really like your beta.

I only have 2 nitpicks however.

The scene at 0:15 the rapid succession of scenes. I think it goes by a little too fast. There are 3 Betas followed by a symble. Perhaps there should be 3 scenes for the 3 initial beats that fade to black at the end of each clip. And for the 4th beat which is a symble, how about a flash? A very short one. not a long one. I think that would look pretty good.

Even if you don't approve I think you should try it and see how it looks. Because as it stands, those clips go by way too fast and aren't timed well to the beats at all. And even if the end result doesn't look good, at least you can say you tried it. I would like to see it if you decide to try.

My second beef:

"And Now, Ladies And Gentleman!"

.......................................WTF!! No Lip Synch?! It would look so much better than a guy with a crazy eye looking at the ceiling >.>

That's my only 2 beefs.

Other than that. Awesome shiz

I agree with TC about this. Although I personally thought it was the scenes themselves that make it look awkward, the beats are very fast but your scenes have too much motion, I mean most of them look like Rin charging at someone so it sorta doesn't fit with the next one of him slashing at Amaimon.

I also don't really like the scene choice at 0:10-0:12. It feels like there's too much blue in this segment here and this part doesn't stand out as well as the other ones where the blue flames are consuming Rin. I feel like some scenes where Rin looks frightened of his power might fit better.

You might also want to add a black fade out at the end of 0:09 so it goes with the end of the lyrics there.

Otherwise really nice so far.

Oh and I disagree with you TC about the lipsync. I tried to picture Rin lipsynced to "Started" and imo, it would look very weird. Seeing as he's supposed to be Cascada in this track. I suppose you could try another character but then I wouldn't understand the relation of having them lipsynced to that either.

Well, the "And now ladies and gentleman" bit is before the music starts and could be used as a transition since there is no music and only words there. It would look best if done as a transition I agree. So the character that lipsyncs it could be from the last track, or from a different anime entirely. Ot from Code's track. I'm just not fond of nobody lip syncing that.

It's like your walking down the middle of a street at night going somewhere or walking to enjoy the night air and all of a sudden out of nowhere as if from the sky you hear clear as day: "And Now Ladies And Gentleman"

That would freak me out.

Just saying. At least give the lipsynch thing a try in this case. If it doesnt work out then oh well. It was tried.

Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained as they say.

KK. Those are fixes that I can work on.

And I'll make two versions of the opening bit (one with and without lip sync) and we'll see which looks better.

Sweet. Pick an appropriate scene too for the lipsynch. Like, try your damndest to make it fit. But you're code. I do not need to tell you this.

[CodeZTM]

Well, I don't want to spam up everyone's inboxes repeatedly. So if you'd like to see the full beta of my blue exorcist track & the new lipsync opening and the other changes, just let me know here and I'll shoot it your way..


EDIT: Oh, and I'm doing an effect at :16, which is why it looks a tad plain. XD

[Kazemon15]

Me! Me!

Liked what you had so far, I'd like to see the rest. =3

[Hagaren Viper]

Ditto please!

[TwilightChrono]

You already know I wanna see it. So send it my way. Does this include the changes to fades and proper sync as well at 0:15?

[TwilightChrono]

Code. Tre Magnifique on the lip sync at the beginning. That should definitely stay in. Would work well for a transition and looks damn cool with the dude bowing as he says it. Keep the lip sync part in there. It's awesome

As for the rest of it, it looks really on par and much better than the first beta. I was kinda bummed to not see the black fades at 0:15 but after seeing how you did it, I have no complaints. Though I did feel a couple of scenes were kinda long, but that could just be me. Like that blue energy slash after the sword flash. That scene I thought ran a little long but again I don't mind it too much.

Good job. I would say ready for final but I wanna wait to see everyone elses thoughts.

GOOD JOB
