Though I have to note, Yue's "Dreamer" vid was in a sharper and cleaner quality than some HD submissions, impressively enough. I'll show my ignorance in saying that I haven't the faintest clue what she's talking about when she refers to "cleaning" her footage (I don't even know how that's possible), but whatever she's doing, it's working.

And +1 regarding L33TMEATWAD proving that a candle still burns for the classics. :)

I've just sent out a notice containing information on where your AMV tickets may be obtained.

If you received the email, you have tickets waiting for you. If you did NOT receive an email, worry. Though there's only two or three people who I rejected though, so mostly everybody who sent a vid will be getting tickets.

For one, I did use the bluray remasters but I still had to clean them up a bit due to noise and such.
By cleaning I mean AVS scripting, fastlinedarken, telecide, decimate, aWarpsharp, etc... Scripts to help touch up the footage like darkening lines, smoothing things out, getting rid of noise, de-interlacing, and all kinds of other things. There is an entire forum section dedicated to cleaning and prepping footage. Or if you ask in #AMV there is just about always someone there to lend a hand. Niotex, Pwolf, Mirkosp, and a couple others are gods when it comes to that kind of stuff. I'm not to great with scripting myself, but that's one of the things awesome friends are for. :P

:up: I'm also always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs helping with using avisynth to help clean up footage.

I also seem to need help getting my footage looking right, so I just may take you up on that. :)

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Mass suicide at Anime Expo Panel!


Scripting is incredibly useful tool but holy hell, it's way more than enough to bore someone to tears. xD

Breaking news! Rider4Z has been found guilty on 57 counts of homicide! Stay tuned for more updates on this tragic story.

But for now, let's go live to irriadin at the site of The Quickening Tournament. Hello, irriadin? Are you there? We can't see you through the wall of bubbles...

Gotta love television, eh folks?

Roto-ing bubbles is very relaxing. They're very easy to do :ying:
