Finally got the DVDs from Rose today. And looking at what's on them, it looks like we've still got a little ways to go. I will be uploading most of the fullscreen narratives stuff to Bakadeshi soon so he can work on those. Why "most" and not "all"? I'll get into that in a sec.

First things first - I am waiting for high quality (and uncorrupted T__T) versions of these editors' videos:
Bakadeshi
pen-pen
downwithpants
Please get them to me ASAP!

And just to get this out of the way, can we vote on internet distribution resolution sizes? Pick from one of these two...
512x384 and 512x288
640x480 and 640x352

And now, the main problem...
In an email a while back, Rose had suggested that we re-record the widescreen narratives that he had voiced, as they were not "clean enough." I was going to wait and see about this, but it looks like Rose really wanted us to re-do them, as he did not include his recordings on the DVDs.
So. Any male editors (with access to decent recording equiptment) willing to fill in?

Which brings me to the biggest part...
Now that we are in control of recording those narratives, I can move Simplicity to the widescreen section, where it rightfully belongs. (I have talked to Ooshna, and it seems that he too favors such a move.) This, however, creates an even bigger length gap between the two "halves" of the project. 17 minutes!!
So obviously, we are now seriously in need of one, two, or maybe even three more fullscreen videos. Luckily, Songbird has graciously agreed to record narratives for any new videos that we might get. We just need the videos themselves.
So far I've come to know of the following possibilities:
Downwithpants - has a video in progress, may be able to make it for Animasia, but doesn't want to rush things
Bakadeshi - expressed interest but no solid video in mind
Otohiko - expressed interest but no solid video in mind
Ooshna - expressed interest, don't know if he has a solid idea in mind
Tsunami Jones - has a finished/released/catalogued video (I had turned it down because it was already released, and we really need some fresh tracks in this old, old project)
Maverick-Rubrik - expressed interest but no solid video in mind, then got caught up with other stuff
And then there's a video that I myself have been working on recently, and that I should complete within the next week or so. (I was originally planning to submit to AWA Pro, but a number of setbacks threw me offtrack.) It has the feel of Surrealism - with some added flavor from the horror/suspense genre. I'll put up a partial beta if you guys are interested. I'm only hesistant about this because I don't want to oversaturate the project with, well, me. Heh.
However, the video is only 2:27 long. So there's definitely room for more.
Comments on this situation?

I'll spend the next few days collecting ideas from you guys... and proceeding with encoding as planned.
And, on second thought, backing stuff up.
