EDIT: Oh, and I'm doing an effect at :16, which is why it looks a tad plain. XD

Do want! :awesome:

Hagaren Viper wrote:XD knew you would use that guy for the lipsync. There's a little issue with his mouth during 'gentlemen' where the masking is a little off, and I think his jaw moves a frame after his mouth closes. There's also a bit of a flash next to what I think is his hand?

x2. You might want to double check this later on. ;)

I like the black fade at 0:09 but I think it starts too early. Same with the scene afterwards of him crying, it starts before she sings "Eyes" so you might want to push that scene back a few frames and make the previous one longer. I'd also make that scene at 0:12 longer so it finishes at the end of "Underneath" and then fade it into the start of his hands bursting into blue flames at "I". Oh and at 0:15 you might want to add a short black flicker or something to go with the beats. But it's really good so far, ME LIKE! :up:

I also like this idea too. :up:

And btw about the transition between the two tracks....it feels like Tsuna came in a bit too early for the music. It feels like "Cause I'm burning up" should be Rin instead and then Tsuna should come in at that strong beat at 0:30. I dunno, it's just what I kinda noticed after rewatching several times so it might be something to consider.

About the Kanji track....OMG. :ying: It's awesome. :up: Never pictured this for that song but it works really well. :rofl:

Spoiler :
I like the idea of the beat sync at the beginning but I think from 0:14 onwards, you should change it to lyric sync instead. So longer scenes and less hardcuts with blurs just so there's some variety. ;) I love the arcana card spinning at the end, though there's a bit of Kanji lipflap but it's something you can fix easily. ^^

Well, those are the two extra seconds I put in for transition. I was kinda hoping for the same kind of transition (a mask) like Cascadathon 2 between Code and Hagaren's track. That Tsuna suddenly appears in the mask and at the beat, his background appears or something.

But whatever works for the MEP. =3



And yes....Kanji is awesome, Code...

One little nitpick...
Spoiler :
Maybe speed up his thrusts a little more so that it's more on beat...cuz that was so wrong it was right XD

I can try and replicate this. If we don't like it, we just take it out. It's that simple. :)

Oh, and I'm glad ya'll enjoyed Kanji. I wasn't sure if I'd gone off the edge of absurdity, because I've been a little too close to Saint's Row 3 lately. XD

Will work on it some more shortly. (Got a final to study for tonight, so maybe later in the week?)

Oh gosh Code, I looped that far more than should have XDDD

I agree with what Kaz said about the crotch sync, but aside from that I have nothing to add~

Kaze yours is so awesome! :awesome: The sync is brilliant. :up: :up: :up:

I like the particle effect you had in the background since it really gives it a nice electric feel. I'm not so sure about the colour though since it's reddish blue and I preferred your track being orangey and warm so maybe you might want to add some colour correction to it. And also the "ahhh" is a bit fast at 0:11, how to say it...more like the flame doesn't reach the end before the scene ends? Otherwise I don't have anything else for you to change, I love it so far! <3

Yay XDD

Thanks.

You can watch it legally on vizanime.com. Or if you're not a US resident, Crunchyroll.com.

And thanks, Aimo, I'll look into the scene. =3

Hahah. My Blue Exorcist track just got pwned. XD

I agree with Aimo about the blue particle effect. I think a slightly darker color of orange might do it better. You might consider experimenting a bit. But It looks great. :up:

The only other comment I wanted to make is that I'm not fond of the centipede scene. I mean, with all the great fire scenes that Reborn has, I feel like it could easily be trumped. ESPECIALLY in the future arc when you think of all the epic battles (I'm just picturing Tsuna with his defensive and offensive cambio formas with his little sun lion looking fierce. Or perhaps him fighting his sun lion before they got on good terms. But hey, it's your track, and I don't want to seem too pushy. XD

But everything else was faaaaabulous and I have nothing else of value to add. <3 <3 :up:

(Also, can I still comment on the gaga video you sent? Because I loved that sucker so much. ;_____;)

________________

Once I finish my test tomorrow afternoon (which is likely to steal my soul via bendy straw), I'm going to work on the mask between our transition and finish tweaking the Blue Exorcist track. I'll make sure and update it with your latest beta when I send out my new beta.

I'll be honest. This is has got to be one of the more fun MEPs I've worked on this year, and I think it's because of the fantastic mix. So major props TC. :up:

LOL hey your track is still good too! I was following your example! FIRE EVERYWHERE! (cuz in all honesty, I wasnt sure what to put later on.) I really didn't wanna use scenes I used in my other AMVs cuz I don't want them to look overused, buuut, I'll look around for more firey scenes. Plus, I do wanna use the scene vs. his box weapon but I don't have those on DVD yet...I'm trying to avoid the scenes that are blended to hell, but if it doesnt work, I'll change. ^^ It's no problem to me.

(And yes, you can, XD...I'll be uploading that this weekend (demanded my Aimo XD), it's already on youtube if you want to see the hilarious credits...thanks. =3)

Well, it wasn't just me. Everyone involved in the MEP thus far helped contribute to the final mix. So, it wasn't all me, but thanks for the vote of confidence.

The CascadaThon Series of MEP's has had rough patches here and there and was slow going at the start but it has quickly picked up and people are actually enjoying themselves. I think that is partially due to my more lax attitude and me not feeling the need to rush it anymore. Everyone involved has been great.

Speaking of which, since this is the Final CascadaThon.........In the credits of this CascadaThon, I would like to put the names of every member that contributed to every CascadaThon, meaning, every person that had a track in each CascadaThon. To show thanks and appreciation for everything they have done for the MEP series. I also think we should throw out a shout out to Godix's loved ones in the credits as well. I promised I would put together a video and put his name and a short message in it, showing that I cared. I figured, why not here? He helped me a lot when I first started out and was very blunt. He was actually the driving force behind my Encore video though I never put his name in it, his advice helped me. Even though the advice given was given before the idea for Encore was conceived. Just a thought. Approve of all the names? Or no?

---------------------------------------------

I should say that I enjoy Kaze's Newest Beta and I agree on the Centipede and particles bit that Code mentioned. So, I shouldn't have to restate it. So many good fire scenes that would be better used there instead of that scene.

i should have a new beta of mine out soon. Featuring a few new anime to the Beta: Yugioh: Zexal!, Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka!? & ThunderCats 2011. Along with a bunch of new scene changes. So, it's gonna be a hefty new beta.

Hey guys. I will have my new Beta to you as soon as I possibly can. I just got my new computer up and running and I have to re-install and all that new jazz. So, it will be a few days before I can present it.

I ish sorry.

Keep up the awesome work. I'll be back at 100% Soon.

Agreed about Kazemon's track (sorry, I just now got that chance to watch it, stupid finals). Like the other said, just change the particle's color, blue was really out of place in contrast with the fire.
