How do you mean? It depends what type you're talking about, since there are multiple types of bloopers per se. You can't have anime bloopers unless they're dub messups, so I think they're very hit-or-miss because everyone knows they aren't really bloopers if we edited them together ^^ That said, my Gundam Fail one is following a sort of sister idea to bloopers, where it's not really a blooper, but more of a 'what if' alternative. Technically so are my Chobits and Bakemonogatari ones. They're all actually pretty similar in delivery.

We also just never really found cool guys walking away from explosions. But I guess if we had that, we couldn't do clips, so perhaps it's for the best.

I was thinking maybe find bloopers from movies and edit to them...we could also have a couple of our clips that explode not explode....Was just a thought...I had done a FMP Stargate SG1 blooper clip I was going to throw into salad this year but my source footage wasn't the best. But I figured we could do something like that...

Hehe... umm.. .can you post it? ^^ I worked on the Stargate Worlds and Stargate: Resistance games, so I have a special place in my heart for it. I was going to do a stargate one this year too, but the idea wasn't as good as my other ones to me.

If nothing else, it could help us find a new idea, and who knows, may work for this year.

I ditched it after I saw the footage quality...

I'm trying to use that program you recommended but every time I minimize it it won't come back. I'm going to try and upload it to Moonbunny's server but FileZilla keeps timing out and the other program I use won't let me upload...have no fear! It shall be done. I won't sleep until it is.

Hahaha, yep, works ^^ You were having issues with the FMP footage? I think there are more fun Chidori clips to go along with that audio, butall in all I like the concept ^^ Not sure it'd work for credits though. This feels more like a center-of-production one. Perhaps you can refine it for next year. But you're on track I think, I guess I never thought about it, but I do a lot of 'end of production' style clips. Most of mine could go anywhere, but they seem to occur strongest at the end. Wonder why...

Also when you minimize AutoGK, it's still working, it often doesn't come back until it's finished compressing it because it's such an intense process. At least that's what I remember, it's been a while since I had to use it. Sorry.

Well when I started it I had it go for about 200 MB...and now it's over 500 for the file it's working on...IDK...i think i'd have to play with it more. But I think the upload is going now....I'll post the links after I test them.

Gaelstrom - dunno if it's too late, but there's footage of Japan on the phone at the end of Hetalia episode 8. :)

Not sure if you have the same version or interface I do, but the one I have has a button to set for custom size, and then you can select the size you want it to be. Now keep in mind when the thing renders, it can get a lot bigger because of temporary files. It actually has to go through a couple of processes sometimes. Once it finishes it'll delete the temp files and should be around the number you chose. If it's having problems, that's another story, but if it's still rendering, you won't know until it's finished I guess.

Dammit! I wish I had more time! That one's getting made as soon as I watch Hetalia for next year, I promise. If a miracle happens and time stops for me on these animations, I'll work my ass off to finish both, I promise!!

Actually last year's credits did mention there being a teaser at the end. =p
It's not a big deal to me though, like I said I wasn't sure if it was an oversight or intentional so I pointed out it wasn't there.

I see what you mean about the Robot Unicorn one. Should I re-edit it or can that be fixed just by like trimming the end a bit?

I'm also in agreement that the Haruhi one should probably come in the second half. Being so close to the beginning I think is shocking in the wrong way. lol.


Also SammySama...I see...SOMETHING on my server but whatever is isn't being recognized. When I'm using Filezilla I find a lot it says I'm disconnected but it continues to upload. So long as it's still moving it should get there.
*edit*
Are you currently uploading it? I think that's why it looks so funky on my end lol

...SORRY!!!! I tried FileZilla and it wasn't moving at all so I tried SmartFTP which is still going. I had started to upload the video files and then 20% through I remembered you said use a ZIP file so I deleted that and ziped them and am now in the process of uploading the file. It's not finished yet which could be why it's not being recognized...can you see the name of it?

EDIT: yeah it's still going ^_^

Oh there was...? I remember it not being there... oh well. The watermark strikes me as the best way for not giving away anything, but I guess it doesn't matter that much whether it's there or not. So if you want it, you should get the credit, definitely.

I don't think your Robot Unicorn one should be trimmed. Plus I don't think that'd change the part I was talking about ^^ The current timing also allows the perfect amount of time for people to process what just happened before moving on. Just if you can move the explosion, keep the star, and just once the explosion starts, removing the unicorn layer should do it. Although careful the explosion doesn't start too small. You may have to make sure the explosion starts already large enough to cover the space where the unicorn used to be, if you know what I mean.

Jesus christ... really? That's a bit insane. How could it be that exact? Stupid collective unconscious, done fuckin' it up for e'erebody! :D

It's actually one of the reasons I think so much about which clips I do, because I do everything I can to think of something that is a bit abnormal so it's a small, small chance it's been considered before. Part of me thinks the Chobits car alarm has been done before. I was actually amazed about the direct connection to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and the comedian last year. Was too good to be true. New comedian + old footage = untapped gold.
