If I ever decide I want to do a bunch of lip syncing stuff again somebody needs to put me out of my misery.

Anyway, how is this looking? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9wMZ7429bI

Much BETTER!!! I think though if you edit the audio skip at the beginning you'll have nailed it ^_^

about 4 seconds in, I'm assuming were you cut out the middle. If you just fade that a bit more it won't sound like such a dramatic change ^_^

Okay so I fixed up the who's on stage clip (shortened and changed ending). I am still going through things for people walking away from explosions but no luck :( I did want to know while I have the audio cleaned and separated if we could use a few more quick "It's so fluffy clips" to strengthen the mini gag? What do you all think?

Moonbunnychan, your cake clip is doing better, but it still needs some more work I'm sorry to say. One of the major issues for it is not so much the sync issue, which does take away from it, but how her head looks like it's slamming into an invisible wall. That's the most jarring part. The best thing you can do is try to loop her and mask in her mouth for certain sections. Lipsyncing doesn't take as much time as it seems for a clip that length. I thought Haruhi would be evil to me on the Haruvi Baadoman clip, but it wasn't so bad. What you're doing is unfortunately having to match a moving head if you really wanted it to match, which is more tough of course, but would of course be the best case for that clip.

If you can stop her head from jolting at the very least, it should hold up, but post AMA I'd love to see her singing the song. I guess I just find lipsynhc fun ^^

For the Raptar clip, you used the explosion a bit prematurely. It doesn't make sense with that sound coming out of his mouth. You'd just stick with the roar and fire from the source audio. It's right after that that you'd cut to an explosion of some building or whatever and use the explosion audio. In this case, if the roar and fire effect goes on for a bit you can leave those going on under the explosion too and keep the audio cue that he's the reason it happened. And don't use the click noise in the audio since it makes no logical sense with the scene, that's there for if there actually IS a button click ^^ While the click-boom is the intended running gag, you only really need the explosion to make it a unified idea. And did you try letting the explosion sound effect trail off behind the line of dialogue after you show an explosion? Not too early of course so everyone can hear him clearly on top of it, but leave it in behind him and see how that sounds. His dialogue may need to be brought up a bit though so it's clear.

Anyway, that's my time... time to collapse for a long seminar day tomorrow...

EDIT:

Oh, which Chobits version should I use? Take one or take two? I'll be able to get a DV for Deuce by Monday afternoon.

I'm rendering a third test beta now.
I left a couple more of the weaker (for lack of a better word) clips out due to them being long and using an anime too many times.
Not sure if you'll notice but please...no offense if you do. ;)
Anyway, I'll post the download link (DivX AVI) in an hour or so.
Once you all see it and have your new / revised clips ready, please let me know where they should be placed o on the time line.
Can't wait to have an order ready so I can write the end credits... :sweat:

and kireblue...the separate tracks you sent me worked. Your Greymon clip is good to go.

You should have some revised stuff from me by tomorrow morning.
Be interesting to see what made this round of cuts.

In my own opinion I'd cut (as of the last beta anyway) the jelly doughnut one, the library one (I DO like it, I do, I just don't know that it fits), probably the Princess and the Frog one (I hate to see it go, but I do admit it isn't as funny as other ones and long), possibly one of the two Paprika ones (I like both of them quite a lot, it's just that they're both kind of long and use a lot of the same footage), maybe the Happy Meal one unless the audio can be better. I know opinion on it is split, but I still think the Screw in the Tuna one is too long (but I guess that can be left up to the AMA audience to decide). The Kid Sister one...I don't know that I've ever had such a completely neutral feeling on a clip. I really have no strong feelings for it either way. It's not bad, but there's nothing super extraordinary about it either. Plus while My Buddy is pretty iconic, unless somebody is in the late twenties or older age range they may not remember Kid Sister.

Also by this point is it an "all cuts are final" situation or if the majority of people think it should stay it'll come back?
