Kamih:

Holy crap, that was really good! And then you were complaining and saying it was bad. D< Anyway the first part is really nice, though it did feel kinda slow but I think that might be cause you didn't sync the crossfades to the beats but I guess if you did then there'd be an extra beat....unless you have another scene to fit there? :O The sync at 0:17 is really nice but that scene starts too early so it makes it really slow. And at 0:26, I think you can split that into 2 scenes - one like it is just now and then crossfade a zoomed up version to her face. And the one after is also too long LOL. But it's really pretty so far. ^^ I like it. :up:

Thanks to Pockying for reminding me but fail Miss Co-Ordinator has just realized that the MEP does not have a poster or a sig! And neither does it have a credits track...

I would make one but we all know what my PS skills are like...:ying: So does anyone else want to take on this job? ^^

And any suggestions for a credits song would be great too. I was thinking of a remix of one of the songs in the MEP but I don't want to push a random remix song that I like onto some poor fool to edit. XD For now I've got an Alejandro remix and also a Bad Romance remix that I found pretty quickly but I'm not sure if you guys like it...

Sorry all, I've been out of town for awhile and was swamped with homework, so I'll update this post before I leave for my Thanksgiving Vacation with my crit for all the betas I received. I'll send out my beta (it's the same since last time) out at the same time as well.

Yeah, I'm thinking the credits will at least need to be a minute long and not over 1m 30s. But that section is nice, I'm not so sure about the rest of it though. XD

Sure, thanks for letting me know. ^^

And also a friendly reminder to everyone else that the 2nd beta deadline is next week. Any day is fine, just try and show me some progress on your parts. ;)

Holly effing crap Madara. I'm loving this. :up: Got a good groove to it, and the new additions really help your story/concept out. The bit with the font was really clever and syncs well. Although I'm a little worried on the visual quality? Was this a stretch out or a quick render to send as a beta?? I'm on the fence about the darker contrast. Epecially since Macross is a gorgeous anime to begin with. I'll leave those to Aimo to decide though.

^Sooo glad for a Turkey Day break. ;-; Sorry I haven't been keeping up with critiques on betas, guys; Orgo and history got the better of me with exams this past month.

Sent out my beta, so still working on things! :up:

Madara:
Spoiler :
It's much nicer with those scene additions now! :D Though at 0:17(he ate my heart) you might want to replace that clockwork scene with something else because that's when the music kinda shifts. 0:21 with Alto kinda disappears too quickly to the music.(just a few frames too early - not much because you want girl synced to Ranka) Also I really liked the mask/in blend transition at 0:23 but at 0:25 it's just a random hard cut. ;__; Try something different there? Or even a flash will do just for that beat there. And while I like the text effect, I'm not entirely sure about the font....oh and at 0:28 was Ranka meant to be synced to the lyrics? Because it feels too short. And I don't really mind it with/without the contrast so that's up to you and the rest to decide, good job so far though! :mrgreen:


Code:
Spoiler :
Oo...some nice changes here. I'd still recommend shifting the scene at 0:15 a few frames earlier so his face comes up quicker. And I understand you're trying to sync to the woah-o for the second part but it still feels kinda slow. Hmm...first, the scene at 0:17..is there a way to move it forward by a few frames and also lengthen it till 0:20? About 0:20-0:24...if you don't want to change the scenes here, the only other suggestion I can think of is to...add more scenes and replace the crossfades with sharp hardcuts to give it more impact. The scenes don't have to have much, maybe just a little movement from the character or something.Oh and a little pan/camera movement would help speed up the pacing too. 0:24 has quite a big beat too so a scene with better impact here would look nicer. Otherwise really good! I like it. :up:


Angel:
Spoiler :
This is much better than the first beta. :D I can see what you are trying to sync to. I do think some of your black fade syncs are kinda unnecessary though and feel too sharp like at 0:03 & 0:08. I think at 0:10 a closeup scene of his face might be better. 0:11-0:12 feel kind of still so maybe some light camera movement. I think you can also shift her face at 0:31 a few frames earlier so it goes with the musical rhythm in the background. And about the scenes of their feet at 0:33-0:34 could you should replace it with something else that stands out a bit more? Perhaps one of the guy looking shocked that she produced so many weapons. And try and smooth out the additive flashes a little. But it's really nice so far. ^^

Angel:

Spoiler :
0:19 with the cat kinda looks like a throw-off scene, like a scene out of sequence with the other scenes.

Other than that, it looks sexy ;)


Code:

Spoiler :
0:11 - 0:13 Doesn't look smooth enough, like the scenes don't follow in a smooth order. xD

I wish I had more to say but it just looks too damn HOT :ying: :up:

P.S. Can you show me how to export using Zarx .avi on a mac by any chance??


Madara:

Spoiler :
I'm trying to find something but I can't :dino:


Sorry I'm not much more help, but you guys did so good its hard to find anything wrong with it. :pizza: + :beer: for all you guys :P

Sorry all, due to a family emergency I left town earlier than expected last week and have been out of town since then. Can't very well download and watch anything on this 6 inch laptop thing, but I promise as soon as I'm back home, whenever I get the chance, I'll get you all your critique and get working again on my beta. Driving all day tomorrow, so probably sometime later this week (:

@Mystyk: @:15 the bright yellow scene here kind of doesn't meld well with the other scenes which were more darker/milder. :21 & :23, I'm not a fan of the outer border effect thingy, but this might just be a personal thing, so take that as you will.
