A Very Cascada Christmas : [Compiling]

[CodeZTM]

Yay! I got to watch it! ;3

I agree on aimo about pretty much everything except: 1) I don't necessarily hate the zooms at the end, but I just don't like the very last one before the video ends. 2 )I'm also ok with the scene at :22 personally, but maybe you could find a different scene all together?

Oh your lip sync was good. My fears have been alleviated. XD

Hitori: While I felt something strange the first time I watched your track, I guess I was wrong since your track includes lyrics. Personally I like the way you decide to keep the story.

Now about second 22, Is there your editing or the scene is like that in the anime? Haven't watched the anime. Looks weird since it makes me think like the rest will be with those borders, but the simple thing there is to get another scene with Taiga and without those borders and there you are, after all your story is easy to follow and that will be good.

About the zooms, I don't think they are necessary in the end, after with your track the MEP ends, it will be ok if there's another track following you, but just my opinion buddy

Code: OMG! You used that anime (which I don't remember its name) I used 3 years ago. Shame on me for not remembering it

Ok, the story is easy to follow too, but for unknown reasons, I felt it slow after 0:37
The previous seconds are ok and the text is looking good. Unless Aimo comes and finds another one for the MEP

Don't forget something my friend: I'm the editor next to you and my part is upbeat, supposing that this the final, it will be very weird that the video is slow at certain point and suddenly gets upbeat, in my opinion. Also for transitioning purposes think about the final scene of your track

tomorrow is my last day of school so I will start working on my part when i am back from school

[Hitori]

Alrighty! So the lip syncing is good to stay?

Also, for all the other input, I'll make the appropriate changes!

Code: I like the new zooming/panning. I'm still kinda on the fence about the crossfades though, I'm not sure what it is exactly about them that bothers me but for some reason they still feel too sharp to me. Did you do anything with the blending mode? The star/glowy thing at 0:24 comes in a little late for the music so just move it a few frames up. I also think a nice black fade out would work here too. And also a fade out for 0:38 because otherwise it feels strange to see her still, then walking, then still and then she starts walking again.

Also I'm thinking the scenes at around 0:18 are ones of him reminiscing his childhood? If so, you might want to change the child scene a little bit so it stands out a bit more as a memory/flashback because the colouring in the 2 scenes of him grownup and as a child are really really similar.

Otherwise everything else is great.

Hmm.. I'll try and work that out a bit more. I'm not sure what you're seeing in the crossfades, but I'll try and work with them a little more and maybe ease up on them a bit.

Oh, and don't worry about the transition Tritio. Since I'm compiling it, if it doesn't work, it won't take me any time to change up the last scene if necessary. XD I personally think I can doa quick walking mask into your track and it'll look good, but if not then I might try a white/cross fade with a better scene. Well, I'll make sure and work it out. xD


So how's everyone else doing? Just 4 days until the beta deadline.

[[madaraxD]]

I almost finished my first beta

[[madaraxD]]

finally i finish something xD
The Beta is on the Spreadsheet

[TritioAFB]

I'll have to edit quickly my final because I'll lose my pc for 5 days, I'll increase the RAM of my pc

[AimoAio]

Still working on mines, have the whole thing filled out with scenes, just need to tighten the sync and neaten it up. Not sure if I'll have a beta by tonight though since I have work till 9pm. But tomorrow definitely. I'll also review your beta tomorrow Madara.
