Re: CascadaThon 3-WHERE IS EVERYONE? Y U NO RESPOND TO PM'S?

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah. I thought the text felt a little plain as well.

First off though, I would like to say we now have a sig and banner for CascdaThon 3. Check it out in the OP.

Also, regarding the credits, It's set up like an intro right now and not so much as credits. But it will look more like credits once I'm done. So, don't fret. I'm really rusty at AE since I haven't used it in a very long time. Hell, just upgraded to CS6 a few days ago. I figured since I couldn't get anyone to make the credits, I would give it a shot.

I should have a new credits beta for you guys sometime either late tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Depending on the render.

I originally wanted to do something along the lines of the camera pannning through a glass window hallway with shattering effects.

Anywho, expect an updated beta soon.

I have the full credits beta zarxing now. It should be in your inbox's shortly. I think I aded that flare and oomph you guys wanted.

Also, the reason there is only 9 video boxes, is because there was no need to have multiple boxes for tracks edited by the same person as a previous track. So, for example, the 2 tracks edited by Code will be listed in one box. I did this for time's sake, cause no one wants to watch 3 minute credits in an AMV. Which is what it would have been had I put 16 boxes in insetad of 9.

Anywho, keep an eye on your inbox's and put your thoughts here in the thread.

Still a little rough graphics wise. Otherwise, I appreciate the new style and feel like it does fit better. Much improved.

Sterothief is a little off center, which is driving me absolutely nuts. XD

Other than that, it seems to be going well.

Yeah might want to take a look at that. You can't really see the fuzziness when it goes by quickly although it does look like somethings off.

But I really like it, like madara said the colours are fantastic. Although I think you might want to make the MEP title (CascadaThon3 Handz Up Style) a little bit shorter so you can give a few more seconds to the earlier text parts (DJ Stereothief, Coordinator TwilightChrono, Compiler CodeZTM) cause those 3 go by much much quicker than the rest so sometimes you can't read it as efficiently. And at 0:16 just before it goes into the first track, you could add a zoom in and a flash to the TV? Also the second part with the original style (0:40 onwards) now feels a little slow in comparison because your first part is so much more dynamic and upbeat so maybe you could add some crazy particle effect in the background like you did at the start? Text scrambling can also go by more quickly. You should also add some more styling to the name/track text like you did at the beginning with the titles (bevel/emboss, drop shadow, strokes) because it really fits with the style and looks fantastic.

That being said, I do like them. Just needs a bit more polishing I think. But really nice job TC. :up:

I got just the thing. Let me render out a nice beta for you :) Should be in your inbox's soon. The new one in place of the old second half should be good for it. Keep an eye on your inbox's.

In the second half, if you could fix the green marble color to something brighter (pink/purple perhaps) and maybe the background colors (the greenish/yellow thing now) to something more fitting, then I'd have no qualms with it.

Oh, and the font graphics are still funky. :uhoh:

Just a note that 'Coordinater' should be spelled as 'Coordinator' in the beginning there. otherwise, x2 Code, looks pretty nice. Maybe have the end of it flash or blur our or something instead of cutting to black?

I feel I have nailed the credits and made it to where all parties will be satisified. I didn't send you guys a copy because I didn't feel like going through a 6 Hour AE Render ATM.

Please also note, that the text and credits you saw at the beginning of the last beta was not actually for the ending credits themselves, but for the beginning 15 seconds of my track. The ending credits will just comprise of the video screens, the MEP title and a bunch of pretty pink and purple shiny shiny.

I will now commence to working on my track itself since the storyboarding for the credits is now done and I don't have to worry about getting someone to do the credits. I never liked using AE unless I necessarily had too because of the amount of work it takes to make something decent. Which is why I preferred someone else do the credits.

But since I was in a tizzy and worried about the credits and couldn't find anyone to do them, I made the exception just once.

I'll be the first to say. I suck at using After Effects. I mean, I'm no Neverend or Blabbler.

On a side note:

http://www.amazon.com/hack-Versus-Hybri ... ords=.hack

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! But at the same time: NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! WHY SO EFFING EXPENSIVE!!??

Don't get confused by the title. It's the new .Hack Movie with a built in versus .Hack PS3 game. I want it, but at the same time, I'm turne dof fform buying it just because of the price.

Why so expensive? Then when you proceed to checkout, it's even more because of the shipping & handling. WTF!? No DVD is worth that much. I don't care if it is blu-ray.

Methinks someone doesn't know about Japanese importation prices.


Japanese DVDs/blurays have always been 50-100 dollars for a movie or 2-4 episodes. The reason being is because so they can cover the cost of making it. Selling things at a low price doesn't make them break even and there are people willing to pay the price if the love the series so much.

Boxsets in Japan range from $300-$1000 apiece.
Currently replaying/recording: Tales of Vesperia (Xbox360) and Tales of Graces F (PS3)

First off, Loved the beta. Haha. Good job with Chaos Head. Never woulda thought to go that way with it.

I only have 1 qualm with it. At 14 seconds at the scene where she is laying on the bed, right before the scene changes, there seems to be some sort of line that appears at the top of the video for a split nanosecond. Just kinda bothered me a bit. Other than that, it's all good.

The ending to your track was Genious considering I know that character in Chaos Head and I just busted out laughing when I saw the torture you were putting him through. Not a nice girl. Not a nice girl at all XD

Fitting choice for the song.
