Okay, I'm currently working on a rough draft of the credits but I'll need a character from everybody. Please pick one from the anime you used. If you can, provide me with a full body(if you can't find one, half body is fine) scan you want to be used or I'll just find a random one I think looks nice for you. XD

I think Mystyk has a point here. Perhaps just turn the feather down a notch or so.

The new changes look brilliant though <3, just send me the final when you're done. :up:

k i can fix that.

Bahahaha, oh god, I love your track Rider4Z ;p

I personally disagree with Aimo and Mystyk on the mask, I like the glow-y effect it has to it, but I'm sure it would look fine either way.
Only other thing I have to suggest is the spotlight effect at :13, I think it looks a bit cheesy. I'd personally remove it, it just looks a bit weird, what with all the clips looking fairly normal, then the random spotlight.
That's really it though, your track is flawless otherwise. Love it (: (oh Grell...)

Sent out my third beta. Sorry I haven't been as active as I should have been. I'll get to reviewing everyone's tracks that still need/want reviewing in a jiffy, as soon as I can figure out who still needs it. :oops: Beta is in divx format because zarxgui is blocking/banding my lagariths to death, and while this is sort of blocky it's certainly better than any mp4 I could convert regardless of settings. As for changes, I took out a majority of the additive dissolves, (not sure whhhyyy I put them there in the first place), and reworked the quality. Tried working with more hard cuts, but the juxtaposition troll wouldn't let me have it and nothing I did seemed to work, so I stuck with the crossfades, lol.

As for series photos, feel free to pick one out for me. Just please don't use the one: http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/11/25771.jpg. I swear it looks like she's crapping out an Office Max, I'm just waiting for the fax machines. :?

I'll leave the choice up to you May! :up: Better pick a nice one or else... 8-|

The sync to "dance" at about 0:15/0:16ish seems to be a frame late I think. At about 0:20ish, you could perhaps mask her eyes again so it stands out even more. :3 And also instead of so many blue scenes, make one or two of them black&white again so it emphasizes the sync more. Oh and also check your framerate because I think I seem some frame blending. :uhoh: Otherwise it's brilliant, me love it! :up:


Glad you liked it. :dino: And I did most of the things you told me to do already. But I may be late with my final, because I have to do school stuff till 25th. So I can only edit after that. Hope that's okay.

Sent, and sorry again for missing you the first time. :oops:

So, looked through everyone's betas that were sent within the last month, and to be honest I can't seem to find anything I dislike about any of them. :shock: Personal editing dislikes on some, maybe, but nothing worth noting since all were very well executed and flowed good together. (The coloration on some of these were absolutely phenomenal. D: ) It is close to game time, though, so I suppose things should be this good. <3

Yup, that's fine. I'll be setting a full beta deadline for around the beginning of February and a final deadline for around mid/end of February so that should be plenty of time for the rest to fix up the last few bits. |:>

AngelDragoon:
Spoiler :
Add a really light pan/zoom out for 0:13/0:14 - the two scenes of her leaning in his face. The scene at 0:32, I feel like should be in at 0:31 instead for the background sync there, just make the scene longer and shift it up a few frames. 0:35 should be a hardcut instead of a crossfade. (where he flings his hands up)Oh and can you remove the black fade at the beginning of your track? For transition purposes :3. Once you've fixed up those small parts you can just send me the final. :up:

Kamih:
Spoiler :
What happened to the beginning? ):
I much preferred the way it was in the last beta, with the color correction and without the flashes of the gray scenes.
I would also get rid of the sun flare at :07, it's too obviously an effect to be there in my opinion.
Like I said in my last review, I think :28 lacks impact still.
I like what you did with the text though, it looks much better. However, I prefer the drops of water/tears or whatever at :47 that was in your last beta compared to the question mark. :16-:24 was beautiful (:
I think :33 fades in too late. You have so much impact at :16, but then it starts to get slower, even though the song is getting more upbeat. I'd mess with :33 onward (plus that part at :28) a bit, I don't know. Too slow for the song, in my opinion.

Nice job overall, really beautiful (:


AngelDragoon:
Spoiler :
Soooo much better! Ah, it's a relief to see it without all of those flashing-crossfades. It looks much better (:
Here are some little things that I would feel add more to your track:
Extend the flash at :15.
The fade at :17, I'd make it start at the very beginning of the clip.
The clip at :18 of her standing by those blue and yellow bars, I'd add a pan/crop, and pan it from the left to the right for the entire duration of the clip, but only by a little bit.
The clip that follows that, of her with her eyes closed, you have a flash on there, but it's very subtle. I'd make it a bit brighter, but if you do that, you need to make the duration of the flash a bit longer as well.
There are some crossfades that I'd still get rid of, but it's so much better than before that I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Everything that I mentioned is very small, but I think it will make your track more interesting to watch, in a way. Right now it is very bland, so I'm just suggesting to spice it up a bit by doing what I mentioned. Course, this is all just my opinion, and as it stands, it's very good. Nice job, and keep it up, it's a big improvement from your last track. :)



As for the picture for the credits, Paradise Kiss isn't very popular, so it's really hard to find anything of it in general. The only picture I could find, full body, is here.
If you could find something that's better that'd be awesome haha. I'd prefer if it was Yukari (black haired girl), as she's the only girl featured in my track, and because George is a guy and I don't want to further confuse people with my gender, haha.

EDIT: I guess I found a few more, don't know which ones you can use though. If you can use any of them, you can pick (:
