Project FMV 2: PR (canceled)

[dj_ultima_the_great]

Oh, and a side note to Addy and Kit... if either one of you tries to put Pokemon Snap in my project, I'm-a whip out the Wooden Cooking Spoon of Disembowelment on yer asses.

Only if one of US does it, hmm...?

Don't even think about it, Kit Kat. : |

Anywho, to everyone, auditions are officially closed as of today. I will be reviewing the auditions I was given and assigning track placements over the next day or two. I'll have it finished and announced by Monday at the latest. I'll also discuss what to do about the open tracks in that post.

I'll get back to you folks soon.

Bump?

Any word, assignments, or changes to the MEP?

Valuable editing time is fleeting.

[dj_ultima_the_great]

Really sorry about the delay. I had two tests this week and a fair amount of other stuff to do and haven't had much time to sit down and watch videos. BUT! I'm done viewing and reviewing, and here are the results:

01 (intro) – dj_ultima_the_great (?)
02 – inthesto – Dynasty Warriors 5
03 – omegaevolution - .hack//G.U.
04 – prYzm - ?
05 – kevmaster – Shadow the Hedgehog
06 – dokidoki – War of the Monsters
07 – Scott Green – Parasite Eve 2
08 – Aeri – Drakengard 1
09 – `Eclipse - ?
10 – Niwa-kun – Shenmue 1
11 – Undeadborn – Warriors Orochi
12 – purplepolecat – Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
13 -
14 -
15 – Kitsuner - Psychonauts
16 -
17 -
18 – AltruisticCrono – Beyond Good and Evil
19 – CodeChrono – Final Fantasy X
20 – Spatula_Castle – Fatal Frame 3
21 – Arkada – Legend of Dragoon
22 – AMV_4000 – The Bouncer
23 (outro) – tentatively goes to Fall_Child42

Again, if there's a question mark, you either did not specify a game or you supplied more than one possibility and didn't specify which you wanted. Please clear that up soon. Also, if you want to change your game, now would be a good time to do it.

As for the four open tracks, they now become a first come, first serve idea. They are open to anyone who is interested - this includes people already on the project. You still have to audition - you just won't be waiting on a response for so long. However, if you're already editing a track in the same song, I'd ask you to not audition for one of the open tracks in that song. It kind of kills the "diversity" concept. As I said before, if necessary, I'll pick up a track too, but since it looks like only the Sunchase piece and "Take a Picture" are open, that may change. I can't edit in the style the Sunchase piece would call for. Just not my thing.

If you've PM'd me for any reason, I promise I'll get around to that tomorrow. I have no classes and nothing major to study for, so I ought to be free to catch up on my MEP work.

Hope everyone is doing well. ^_^

I like that there's two empty slots on either side of me.

What, do I smell or something?

Nah, we're all just afraid of you.

And your shovel.

Ooh. Got all my footage all shiney and clean today. :O

Shall be editing this next couple of weeks, and I'm gonna try and get my beta early, since March 1st is a little crazy for me (well, that week anyway)

[prYzm]

ok due to u not gettin back to me soon enuff, theres no way ill have a first beta done by march 1, the game i would use is medieval 2: total war but ima need an extention on first beta, i start uni as of monday + i have my first round IC comp of walkure vs amvience on wed, so yeh as long as i can get an extension thats ok, maybe an extra 2 weeks?

[AltruisticCrono]

Jen - please reply to my PM about the footage. I have some of my save files standing by for footage capture.

Unless you guys would like to chime in?

Would it be better to capture at 800x600 or 1024x768 that requires resizing for the project... or should I capture at 640x480 and just crop to match the 16:9 ratio?

<shrugs>

Responded.

- deadlines are made very clear from the start and will be followed without extensions of any kind

Deadlines are very, very strict. If you can't handle a tight schedule, please don't join the project. It has to be strict, because I have to finish this project before September. If it's August 31st, 2008 and I still don't have tracks from some of the participants, I'll have no choice but to postpone finishing it until January 2009. I'll be in Spain for those four months in between, and I'll have no way of coordinating a project then.

Sorry, but this is where I start to get bitchy. I didn't stick to my rules with the last project, and it ended up running several months past the original final deadline. I won't allow that to happen this time. So, no, I'm not granting an extension. If I bend here, the whole project will start to get thrown off little by little when people realize they can walk on me.

This is only the first beta. I'm not expecting that a lot be done. I mostly just want to touch bases with everyone and make sure that you're all aware of what you're doing. I also want to get the technical specs of your footage so I can make sure you have that part correct before you get too far into your editing.

I hope that answers everything.

Unfortunately, prYzm has dropped his segment. This means that Track 04 is now open to auditions. Alternatively, if anyone already on the project wanted to switch from their track to Track 04, let me know and I'll make the switch and open up your track instead.
