Status - Anime Expo is this weekend and Im pretty busy until then, so I'll have something sometime after monday.

Track 1 - Kinda in agreement...while I didn't like all the scenes in your first beta it had the right amount of energy to it, which this version is lacking. Personally I think you should stick to the beta before this.

Credits - I really don't care for the Jagger song personally so I'm a little indifferent about the credits. I feel like the credits should actually be...Cascada considering it's Cascadathon but you can decide weather that's my bias against the song or not, lol.

Here is what I know:

Track 1 : TC, this is your track. I personally hope that you return to an actual track instead of what you were doing. It felt very static to me, and it needs a lot of high energy. Title credits aren't always flattering, and we don't really need them if they're going to be rehashed at the credits.

Track 2 : aimoaio - I have her final already downloaded.

Track 3 : inan - I'm speaking with him almost nightly (we're in the same studio), and he seems to be making some progress.

Track 4: madaraxd - No information to offer.

Track 5: iCardioid - No information to offer.

Track 6: AFAIK, she's similar to Hagaren and Kaze. wating until after AX before she finishes her track.

Track 7: I have finished this track.

Track 8: kazemon15, I have final for.

Track 9: I have no information to offer.

Track 10: Kyros: I have final for.

Track 11: SatoshiSakura I have no information to offer, but I can contact him shortly.

Track 12: Hagaren Viper Recently updated, says should be finished after AX.

Track 13 : My track other. I should be be able to finish once I finish the basic track's re-creates due to recent feedback. I need about a solid 7-8 hours of editing time and another 3-4 hours of re-encoding files to represent my new quality footage. I should finish once class is over for me in the coming few weeks.

14. Hagaren Viper Recently updated, says should be finished after AX.

15. kazemon15 Recently updated, says should be finished after AX.

Track 16 inan - I'm speaking with him almost nightly (we're in the same studio), and he seems to be making some progress.

@Credits: Even the new ones? I don't care for it. It seems too odd of a combination. I'd cut jaggar and go for typical credits with another cascada song.

Thanks for the timely response Code. You seem to be more in touch with the members than I am >.> Guess I'm just a figure head. Well, I've promoted you to Co-Coordinator Code. Been thinking about doing it for a while now and this just confirms that I should. I also wanna take the time to apologize for my gruffness earlier.

Also, about my track. First off let me say. The original one I submitted with the Halo bits and Panty & Stocking and Inuyasha and stuff in it was lost in my hardrive Crash. I was not able to retrieve it after that. So I'll have to start from scratch, but it doesn't bother me.

Also, good point. Since we have credits, no need for an intro of sorts, but to be fair, I wanted to see whatI could do. More of an experiment than a serious edit. I'll make it an actual track and you should have somethign good form me soon. I'll set myself a deadline here so that I can be motivated. Gimme 3 days and I should have a half a beta or a full one for you guys.

I'll update tha main page shortly.

Anyone who hasn't reported in should do so. And for those that don't, Code and I will be contacting you through PM. We know who you are.

SatoshiSakura should have a beta soon. He's also attempting to make a final beta for the Disney MEP. So he's reported in. :)

The past few days, I've been getting my After Effects on. After Effects CS6 to be exact working away at the ending credits. Which a beta for it should be sent to your inbox's momentarily. So keep an eye on it.

The videos you will see in it are placeholders until I get my hands on actual finals to put in. And no, the entirety of the credits portion won't be the screens like you see here. I also gots other things for the credits planned. It will get faster but still readable and enjoyable. It's why my track is taking a while to make it to you guys. I feel the credits will take the longest so I'mma try and knock the storyboard out first so all I have to do is put in the clips and names and vuala.

I mean hell. THe beta I am sending you now took an hour to render out of AE, then it took another 30 minutes to render out of Vegas, if that tells you anything. The filesize is small though, so don't worry about anything huge.

Anywho, keep an eye on your inbox's.

Not bad. I think that the drop-down effect (where the letters get scrambled and fall down into the title cards) could stand to be a tad shorter, and perhaps a little less on the lens flaring in the background (just a little distracting considering that the text/scenes should be the main focus). Perhaps a different font as well? I dunno about the others, but it feels like the font is just a little rough around the edges of the letters (quality wise). Plus, it seems just a little too plain.

Other than that, it does have the cascada feel to it. A little more focus, and it should be fine for credits.

x2. The beginning (0:00-0:16) also feels a little too still to me. If you're doing this in AE you can fiddle a bit with 3D space and add more depth/angle to the text so it feels more sophisticated.

I liked it, especially the colors, it's very Cascada. The beginning text feels a little slow though.
