Project Ayu-Mix Official Project Thread


Purpose: To create a stylized based Multi - Editor Project using the great Mixes found on Hamasaki Ayumi's singles.

Image

=================================================================
Current Project Status:
Tracks being edited. Beta deadline is October 31st 2005. Final deadline is for Janurary 15th 2006.
=================================================================

Editing Tracks:

You will be using the MP3s linked in this page. I will replace with the HQ wav when I join the project together. If you have some problem with editing to Mp3 and absolutely need the wav, I can send it Via AIM. Contact me in that event.

When you are ready to submit the final track to me, it should be formatted as this:
Size: 720x480
Codec: Huffyuv (RGB Mode) if possible. Xvid Quantizer 1 (or 2 no B-frames) may be accepted if there is no alternative.
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
FrameRate: 24fps

Please Remember to Deinterlace your video properly. You may be asked to make changes to your track due to technical flaws. If you refuse to comply, you may be replaced.

While there is no Pressure to get done quickly, Hence the late deadline, You ARE expected to stay in contact with the rest of the project from time to time, so I know you are still in on the project. If I cannot reach you and there is no response to any emails/PMs etc I send, I may choose to replace you.

Posting of BETA tracks for feedback is Encouraged here in this thread, or via the Mailinglist at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/project_ayumix/, and all members are likewise encouraged to offer such feedback and constructive critisizm.

Please fill your entire audio segment with footage. The begining and last 1-2 seconds of your segment may be used for Transitions.

WIP = Work in Progress

If you are listed as "Unknown Status" then I have not heard from you in a while, or are attempting to get in contact with you for an update. You need to contact me asap if you are one of these. After a while I may drop you from the track.

Orange status is minor problem. Green status is OK. Blue status is completed. Red status means work is either stalled for some reason, or track is currently not claimed.

The Mix: http://www.aunmv.com/ayu-mix/Project_Ay ... ybreak.mp3

(This is the same mix as the second beta released in the interest gauge thread, if you already have that one)

How to select segments:
Segments have already been asigned. If a slot opens up, first the backup editors from the first selection process will be contacted, then once that is exausted, the track will be listed as {unclaimed} in the track listing above, and you may then PM me to ask for the track.

Please note that I want Highest quality work for this project, thus the tentative deadline is set for December 31st, 2005 to give everyone ample time to work on their track. By joining, You are also accepting that we may ask you to rework your track (along with some suggestions if we have any) if we feel it is not up to the quality we want for the project. If you refuse, We reserve the right to remove you from the project and get someone else for the track. (Here, "we" being all members involved in the project. I want this to be a colaboration in all aspects of the project, including helping out with betas etc.)

Note: The above rule applies mostly to technical issues of the track, and not so much the editor's style of editing. Unless the video is just realy too plain for the style of the project, we won't be harsh on actual style, as this is supposed to be a project showcasing each editors choice style of editing. Mostly what we won't tolerate is ugly downloaded footage, Interlacing problems, etc that can be fixed with some technical nohow, and has nothing to do with the editors particular style.


All corespondance about the project Can be held right here in this thread, or via the Mailing list. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions related to the project.


Format Specifics:
Once track selections are over, the .Wav file for your segment will be made available to you. There will be about 1-2 seconds of "Merge zone" space that should be kept in mind when editing, I will use the first and last 1 - 2 seconds of footage in your segment to merge into the neighboring one. In some cases it may be a fade, or some other transition, or it may just cut streight to it, it will depend on the style of editing and other factors. Keep this in mind when editing.

There must be footage at the very begining and end of your track.
(I.E. don't fade your segment in from black or white, it may not work with the neighboring track)

Edit: The track audio files you will receive will already include this buffer zone in them so you can still edit with the beat. In otherwords, your track will repeat audio from the previous track for about 1-2 seconds or so, But ofcourse it will be merged seamlessly in the final project Encode.


Final encodes should be provided to me in Huffyuv as 24 fps Progressive, 720x480 resolution in 4:3 aspect ratio. Please Pan & scan your footage if using 16:9 aspect ratio. If you submit to me in 16:9 resolution, I will pan & scan it for you, but you may not get the exact areas of the scene in the video you want if I do it.

If Huffyuv is absolutely not possible, then the next best thing is High Bitrate Mjpeg or Quantizer=1 Xvid. I realy want Huffs though.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO DEINTERLACE YOUR FOOTAGE BEFORE EDITING!

Other Project details:

I intend to see this project to completion.

Audio, mixed by me, with some help from DrangedKreationz:

0:00-0:47 Daybreak Hal's Mix 2002
0:40-3:03 Opening Run - JK's Extended mix
3:03-6:34 I am... Night clubbers mix
6:30-8:26 no more words - turn up the break mix
8:23-10:00 I am... Huge Fairytale mix

I'll be doing some emailing and PMing now on some of you, since I have not heard from a few of you guys in a while now. I'll update the track list status as I get updates on those I don't have information from.

Sorry I haven't been as "up to date" as I could have been. As of now I have 20 seconds done, but I have just gotten a brand new computer, which is good and bad. It great cuz it's a really good new laptop, but it's bad because its a mac and all of my stuff is windows based. So I can't edit for a while. I'm looking to get a windows emulator within the next month or so and I'll be able to edit again, but for now I'm at a complete stand still. If it is getting to close to the end deadline and I still don't have an emulator (or have someother stupid reason for the incompletion of my track) then I will notify you and will try to help in anyway I can to get somebody else to edit or whatever. I'm very sorry about this delay, but PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME OFF THE LIST. If I can get this emulator within the next 2 months or so (which is probably gonna happen), then I will be editing again. Sorry about the delay.

unfortanly my replacement comp (a pos dell) is not completly ready for my editing. So give me roughly a month to get another hdd and more ram...could be as little as 2 weeks. If all goes as plans *crossing fingers* i will be done before the deadline or by the deadline.

--------------
Update:
--------------

Mp3s for each track is now available for download from the Main post. See the track listing in the first/second post for the links.

Remember Deadline is in December 31st.

Oh yes, I will need some kind of footage from your video, a beta will do, by November 15th, (extending it a little from October 31st) I need them to make the credits and Opening segments. Also please be sure you can be committed to finishing the track by that time, since I would hate to have to go and change the credits after completeing them if you decide to drop out afterwards.

Please be assured I will finish this project even if I have to edit the rest of the tracks myself, (although I'm sure I can at least get people for a few of them, so I don't think that will ever be nessisary...) so please don't loose interest thinking it will never get done.

Are there back-up editors to either of those two tracks? Seems like a cool music mix... I'm quite interested in this.

This project is my current editing priority (for real this time!)...I just need a couple weeks to recover from AWA :P I'm something like 70% done anyway, plus some possible post-production effects work if I decide to go that route.
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

I'd also like to take part if there still is a free segment. Good music and I could use some nice FX :wink:. Segment a or d whatever you need an edito for since both segments sound quite like I have some ideas for it.

About the 2 tracks unasigned:

I'm planning to take over Segment A, but I may still give it out to someone if they want it bad enough, and I think they can do the track justice.

Segment D for the moment is still open, I need to check with 1 more person that got left out in the first selection process, to see if she wants it, then I'll open it up to everyone else if not.

LCY - added Olw, sorry forgot he was also in it ;p

I am THIS CLOSE |-------| no dick size jokes please to being done with Dedicated to Katrina. I promise that once that's done I'll DEFINATELY start working on my segment again. Probably. Maybe. It's a possability. Not a very likely one though.

Nevermind, forget I said anything.
