I agree and this one of my major concerns along with the likelyhood of drastically different lip-sync quality between segments (since it's a movie with a lot of dialogue, there should be proper lip-syncing) and not everyone can do lip-syncing properly. But it could still work out and I'm willing to do my part(s) and we'll see how it turns out.

i was thinking about that in research methods lab class today (im a bad kitty, i should have been listening to the TA) although there is alot of dialog should we do the AMV signature TV static from switching of the scenes or stick to straight movie?

Yeah, I agree. Just let itself fall into place. I can try my best with lip-syncing, and it will mean those long hours in vegas. :/ But with the proper techniques/masking and creativeness, this could turn out to be pretty fun.
Still, I wouldn't mind an official character set up....

Um...I wouldn't go with the amv hell style, since amv hell 4 is set to come out later this year...I'd go straight through the movie, trying to capture the way the movie plays through it as best we can....

By static, you mean the AMV Hell static? If we're going that route we could make our own appropriate transition between scenes and have everyone tack onto the end of each clip a character yelling "Get on with it" before moving to the next segment :P

hehehehe that is a good possability, so i guess as it stands now, shoot for the full movie, but if it looks like its going to bog down shoot for the "get on with it" segment

i was going to do a quick movie promo for it, ill post it up tonight if my compie doesnt act up

late night update

Postby Bad_Kitty » Fri Feb 23, 2007 12:27 am

i havent finished all of the audio rib, but this is what i got so far with info:

scene # / name of scene / time / director
01 coconuts 03:19:27
02 plague village 01:55:73
03 constitutional peasants 03:10:93
04 the black knight 04:27:27 code_chrono
05 witch village 04:52:40
06 knights of the round table 00:28:00 / 1:12:53 (i split the talking and music)
07 god 01:11:20
08 french taunters 03:43:53
09 trojan rabbit 02:57:47
10 tale of sir robin 02:54:93
11 tale of sir galahad 07:28:28
12 scene 24 01:21:33
13 knight who say ni 01:34:92 kikai_saigono
14 tale of sir lancelot 06:14:73
15 rescue of prince herbert 03:53:93 Wurpess
16 wedding guests 03:01:73
17 roger the shrubber 01:39:40
18 a herring 01:23:13
19 tim the enchanter 04:11:20
20 cave of caerbannog 02:24:40
21 holy hand grenade 05:53:73
22 black beast of Arrrrrghhh 02:59:80
23 bridge of death 04:23:73 haunter103
24 the castle Arrrghhh 04:07:33
25 attack 02:44:47 (combines 2 scenes into 1 for better flow)


EXTRA SCENES:
5.5 book of the film 00:39:27
7.5 holy grail quest intro 00:25:33
9.5 famous historian 00:40:80
13.5 bloody weather 00:54:93
18.5 yummy minstrals 01:23:13

I would like to point out that the times can be cut down on the audio, but IMHO the directors should decide what extra crap should be cut out. As me Pappy used to say: Let the experts do their jobs :D

what suprises me is how short the scenes are. if anyone wants me to e-mail the audio file before i get my site up and running, let me know. all of the files are under 8 meg.

ive been working on the audio so i might be able to finish a 1/2 way decent recuitment promo. ill update this list when website is up. if you want me to e-mail you the audo Pm me with an e-mail addie and ill send it right away

Coolness!! Most of them are a lot shorter than I thought too. *^_^* I agree with just letting it flow, and maybe putting in a "Get on with it" or something if it doesn't quite flow right. Yeah, with the lip sync, that was part of the reason I picked the rescue of Prince Herbert. A good talking/beating the crap out of stuff ratio. :D (And I thought Kadaj would make a good Prince Herbert. :lol:) But hopefully it will turn out ok. WEHOONESS!!! :D

just a question....what other parts have the Ni Knights in it? I'm wondering because I'm still worried about the changing characters and everything, and I haven't seen the movie recently enough so I can't remember what other scenes there are. So if there are any open spots, I'll do a little Ni editing for them....
if that makes sense.. >>

Kikai-A Herring. But it might add to the comedy with the characters constantly changing. Like they keep putting in stunt doubles or something. lol. (Lancelot is going to change 3 times within his story.)

Also, Bad Kitty, since this is now the official post, you might want to at least put the track list and the site link on the 1st post. Along with the technical stuff. Deadlines can be put up once we figure them out. ;)

got it, im in the process of updating things right now. on the main page.

seeing the characters constantly change would be pretty funny and very monty python esk.

but to answer your question: the Knights of Ni are 1st introduced in scene 13, and finally in scene 18 (a herring) we see them again after Arthur completes his quest and retrieves a shrubbery from Roger. in scene 18 arthur teams back up with brave sir robin and go on with the quest
