So far I've watched a little over half of the beta, and I must say, it looks really nice :)

Hey everybody, I still exist ^_^! I've been too busy with life, work, and school to do anything else. I've watched the beta and think its fairly well done. I thought I saw some footage stretching, but I'll give a full review later if I can.

Good to hear from ya. No need to write a full review if there's no time - I'd rather hear those few spur-of-the-moment comments that you can jot down in those few spare moments. :P So what do you mean by "footage stretching?" I am 99.999999% certain that everything is in the correct aspect ratio...

Yey!

In general news, I didn't get around to fixing the volume levels in those commentaries over the long weekend (holiday shopping = good; "driver improvement clinic" = somebody shoot me PLEASE).

However, I did manage to get a copy of the first Princess Tutu DVD, so I spent some time remastering the Tutu footage in our intro. The difference is pretty noticeable, at least to me. :P I also switched out a clip and replaced it with some new ones. Ask me on AIM if you're interested in seeing the revised intro. (The difference isn't too drastic.)

In other news... I've realized that this whole delay must've been my fault - at Otakon this summer, I had jokingly suggested to Bakadeshi and dwp that Animasia probably wont be done until Christmas this year.

...

>__>

Oh heck, we might as well. I'm marking Christmas as our absolute latest release date. Which gives us only about four weeks. So guys, be on the lookout for betas! And please download them with all due speed. With such a tight schedule now, I'm going to have to plow ahead with things even if some of you don't have much free time for commenting. So if you guys want your voices heard, speak up [quickly]!

What'll happen now:

1. Bakadeshi finishes all fullscreen commentaries. (Soon? Pretty please?)
2. Bakadeshi releases out a beta containing just the fullscreen commentaries.
3. Editors with videos in fullscreen check the beta for possible glitches and/or make comments.
4. Bakadeshi transfers all the fullscreen commentaries (640x480 Lagarith YV12, PCM WAV) to me.
5. I join all the fullscreen files together and encode.
6. I upload the file to Kalium's server and invite everybody to approve it.
7. If there is nothing major gone awry and three other editors approve, then I'll consider the project completed.
8. Oto writes the video comments with help from others
9. I enter and upload the video.

Sound straightforward enough?

Update: 3 fullscreen comentaries are done. working on the rest, It takes a while to export each one (usually have to leave it over night, or while at work) , so at current pace, we are probably looking at this weekend to have them all done.

Expect a beta release of all the fullscreen naratives saturday or sunday latest. (more likely saturday, but I have to work tomorow, so it might have to be sunday only depending on how late I end up working.)

I have finished all of them eccept for some things I still need to fix on forbidden memories. I also might change warrior's dance BG music choice still if I can find a more apropriate peice for it.

Fullscreen naratives: 98% done.

All right! I've finished tweaking the audio volume levels. Which means that all that's left for the widescreen section is to update the credits and encode! :D

Hmm... this avatar makes me kinda nostalgic...

It makes me kind of worried about... Evangelion. :|

Great news, both of you.

Just so you know, I'm dead - but not for beta purposes. If either of you has new betas, the quickest way to get to me would be through PM - and I'd definitely want to see them very quickly.

Otherwise, don't expect me to write anything but the remaining 50-60 pages of essays I have for the next week and a half. After that - right away!

So yea. Dead Oto, live Animasia. All is right with the world :roll:

Just so you know, the date is Dec. 15. I'm dead before then, and very alive after.

Since the project is due BEFORE the 25th, I think I'll have enough time

But actually, it'd be great if someone could get started on it before then; I don't think we need another 'dead body' delaying the project (like that hasn't happened before :roll: )

[this is krzT transcribing for jasper...we are in a class we don't want to be in at the moment...so please bear with us...we're bored as hell so this post will be written in telegram form. T_T]

Bakadeshi showed me the full screen commentaries beta last night [exclamation point] STOP I will be PM-ing out links to it tonight [period] STOP Or if I see some of you guys online, then I'll give you the link to it [period] STOP

It looks quite good [period] STOP We both know that there are a couple of audio glitches that need to be fixed, but other than that we should be pretty much good to go [period] STOP But those of you with videos in full screen should still check out the file as soon as possible in case there is something you think there is amiss [ellipse] STOP This shouldn't be a big problem since it's a small 30 meg file containing only the commentaries [period] STOP

So yeah [ellipse] yay for progress [exclamation point^5 ONE1ELEVEN] STOP That is all [period] STOP

[krzT side note: IT'S SNOWING IT'S SNOWING!...kind of]
