Of course Mysty. Anything you'd like, I can more than accommodate you for. :)

Can't wait to get home and see the full beta and your track!

Speaking of tracks, I have a pretty full load this week in terms of school/work. I will try my best in order to get the small details finished tonight and send it out to ya'll. No profmises, but I'll definitely try. ;)

Mystyk: I really like your track. I'm not sure about the scene at 0:26 (Yuuhi standing if front of Minato) since it doesn't really follow up. Also, in the full mep it's noticable... shouldn't you put an additional scene right at the start... the part where the music starts but there's no video. The sound sort of reminds me of water or a sky... anyway you can leave it as it is if you want.

Code: I'm not sure I said so but I really like your upbeat execution of your part. :)

okay Code! :D thanks xD and also there was a long lip flap at about 2:38 in the whole MEP Code xD :P

ibabrak: lol xD don't worry that place is for the title of the MEP xD just the previous one wasn't good enough so I jsut deleted it xD don't worry :P I just haven't made a new one yet :P and okay I'll see if I can replace it with something better :P thanks xD

and I think the fades are strange in my track D: but hardcuts would be rough, so what should I do? and any strange places where the syncing seems strange? oh gosh....xD I took the slowest part when I'm such a beat sync addict D: am I normal? xD :')

and btw sorry xD I just put the mp4 files into vegas, since it was easier than converting them into lagartih avi :P and I hope it's okay that I put your credits beta into the whole MEP beta ibabrak :P it will be awesome! :awesome:

MelyoraMEL: please resize your part to 848x480

Code:
The improvement is truly great. I have nothing to point out in the matter of visual execution.
0:05 The camera closes on the boy with browner hair (fire user, I think) and he like flies up and then there's his hand shown > I'm not sure if it wouldn't look better if you cut it before his face dissapiers from the screen. Well I wouldn't normally even point it out I think but I don't know what else to point out so I guess I was just trying to give you some feedback :D

Great progress!

Code:
Spoiler :
the scene selection is much better :up:
0:11 - her face is a bit too bright isn't it?
and it seems like there are lots of flashes :P maybe you should reduce the opacity a bit? or take out the one at 0:19 (when they fight)
0:25 - I think there's too much blur? or one of the scenes is too short
0:07 - when the girl falls from the guy, the fire in the background is weird O_O it disappear and then appears, it might be just the scene but maybe you can do something with it :P
at the end I think you should add some zooms so that the clips won't look so still

and also, could you leave the last scene a bit longer as well, please? xD :')

I think it's the one of her standing by the door, just before the blue-ish scene.

Mystyk: Errr....I really like it but I can't tell if the "you" in the song is referring to the boy or the other brown haired girl. :uhoh: I'm assuming it's the boy but that makes the scene of the brunette at 0:09 and 0:13 quite weird because it should really be showing the boy and not the girl. And also the ending shouldn't that be the grey haired girl looking depressed and not the brunette? I'm a little lost because I don't know who's POV you're showing. XD

Full compilation: OMG IT'S AWESOME! :awesome: :up: Everybody's tracks look great so far! :3 But the overlays in the Ah My Goddess part is a little too bright, maybe just lighten it a tiny bit. You might want to make a longer crossfade from Tritio and Code's track. Oh and I totally LOL'd at 2:02. XD

and the overlays are not my doing xD his part is like that >.< and lol xD yeah, as you can see I tried doing the transition but and I manged to zoom it out but then zoom in? xDDDD I was lazy for that now and EvaFan will do it anyway (probably) :P

Sweet! I told ya: the crossfade works between mine and Code's parts, but it's too short :3

Mystyk, I dunno what to say, but I think you should improve the scene selection. There's something weird with it, in general :O

And Code, respect man, track is looking better now, but Mystyk mentioned almost all the possible facts I was going to mention

Ooooh, complete beta looks nice! Comes in handy too, I can compare my parts to the others so I can see it's a bit off. I'll work on it soon! This weekend probably, since now I'm in the middle of exams.

Thank EvaFan for the zoom! 8D

Tritio: Code has already lengthened it.

Since you asked me to be detailed:

In your track according to scene selection, the two girls are in love with the guy, you start showing it correctly, until in the song I listen "until over you" and you just show the girl, which kinda confuses according to the previous scenes (?)

About effects, it's ok that your track doesn't have too much effects rather than the few transitions I could notice. We don't want the audience to get easily bored by just putting flashes :wink: .

I'll not mention other facts cause the crowd has already mentioned them.

Ok, now I'll focus in the beta

Flow:

Video makes senses until this moment. The scene selection goes very well through the betas and goes according to the music. Nothing more to add exceptiong for the transitions:

1) Mystyk - Aimo

I believe here we have to do something. Crossfade is not appropiate according to the first scene of Aimo, still Mystyk has to do something for the final scenes of her beta. Fades aren't also appropiate here, so an option is to create the transition using scenes from both animes, or a mask transition

2) Aimo - Riccardo

Ironically, the crossfade seems appropiate here. Flash or fades doesn't make sense here, and making a transition is not required. The illuminations between Aimo's part and Riccardo's part are appropiate, so the crossfade seems ok even when first scene of Riccardo's moves so fast

3) Riccardo - EvaFan

Hmm, considering first scene of Eva's and final from Riccardo, this might be a troublesome moment for transition. Crossfade might not help nor fades or flash

4) EvaFan - Tritio

Well we have to wait until a new transition is made, but seems to work the idea of zoom out

5) Tritio - Code

Here the only possible option is Crossfade, in Tritio's part, final scene moves to the sky and first scene of Code is quiet, so a little adjusment of the crossfade might seemed to work.

Note: Code, if you're reading this, try to adjust the brightness of the first seconds so that it can really give an idea that the video moved from night to day

6) Code - FadingSundown

Ok this will be another moment a new transition will be required. Fading, if you're reading, please in the beginning of your part try to beat all the synchs in the beginning, it doesn't matter if you miss somes during the beta but the beginning is crucial according to the way Code ends his part, my man, that's the reason I told you that the final part of your beta should be intense, but that was because I didn't know the beginning of Fading's part included that intensity in the audio. Transition according to the audio, should be more like 2-3 seconds (2:59-3:01)

7) Fading - Hitori

Crossfades seems appropiate, it actually fusions perfectly between final and beginning. Nothing to add here

8) Hitori - Melyora

Ok, crossfade seems not work here. But by judging the first scene of Melyora, she seems like she's watching to a distant point, perhaps you guys should look whether if there's a scene where the girl in Melyora's part is really looking something, like a Tv or something that gives that impression. I believe is the best according to the final scene of Hitori's part

9) Melyora - Hitori

Again, crossfade doesn't work here, but a good option might be using a blur-right or left transition, for some reason that might help here, I dunno why but I got that impression

10) Hitori - ibabrak

And ironically, the crossfade seems appropiate here, and it doesn't matter if it's short, it's good this way, cause the way ibabrak's part begins doesn't require a long transition

btw, excellent final scene for your part ibabrak

Ok, these are some suggestions for the MEP, it's up to the members if they want to keep them in mind :3

I sent mystyk a copy of my track with the zoom for transition on the end already and the brightness problem is fixed now too hopefully. I don't know if I did it the way she wanted but I don't really want to mess with the zoom transition anymore. Getting it to look perfect on the slanted monitor of the laptop is annoyingly hard, after spending 5 hours on it I just gave up and it is what it is now. If she wants to give it a try I can send her a copy of my track fixed without the zoom on the end for transition.

Code: Your track is alot better :up: but it seems like some parts are pretty frame skippy or something, I'm going to guess you slowed down clips a tad too much. The scene at 0:07 in particular with her face, the background seems to come to a halt during motion. It's just kinda weird. The other parts don't seem so bad but I just thought I'd let you know.

Mystyk: I like your old track more honestly quality problems aside because of its masking ideas and scene choices. Don't really know what to suggest for this new track other than trying some masking ideas if you can think of any, like you did in your old one. Haven't seen this anime in forever so its hard to remember the source for ideas.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson
