Well, all that's stopping me right now is the fact that my software is not installed, and the discs are laying around somewhere in the closet - I'll have to dig around to find this; in the meantime I was wondering if there was anywhere I could get the latest betas again - looks like the Yousendit links have expired

Danke - that's one down and a couple of more to go

Will watch now...

[post-viewing edit]

Hey, you beat me to the idea of making a video focused on that episode - great work! I rank it as my favorite 'filler' episode ever, and I'm glad to see you've done a very good job with it!

I think the main issue I'd be worried about is pretty much the same one I have - the rhythm and the overall 'busy' nature of the music sometimes seems to outpace the visual, especially when you look at some of the slower and longer cuts.
The last bit of it is definitely my favorite part. And now that you did the 'fade out on cry' thing (now I can see how Pen-Pen and Jasper thought it would be an effective solution), I definitely have no choice but to use it at the start of mine, too

PenPen: What's the deadline for this?

Whoa.

Very, very impressive. This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to see from this project in terms of sync and flow. Actually, I wondered how well Kaleido Star would work when you first picked it, but I have to say the visuals really worked out great. Since I've seen the series, I guess this makes a lot of sense to me thematically though I wonder if it will be as clear to those who haven't.

Anyways, great first impression. I'll see if I pick up anything of the nit-pick variety, but so far I think this is very promising. Makes me wish I could get fast visuals like that to work half this well in mine

Argh, job hunting sucks but I'm back from school and ready to bring this project into it's final stages. I have started working on the journey section so there is very little on our timeline that isn't in the production proccess.

I am using "Princess Mononoke" and focusing on the idea of traveling or journeying. With some careful manipulation I think Can expand the idea of him wandering and make it look like he goes to more places then he actually does. I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out the progression of events (Start the video in the village, or do a flashback later when the music pickes up?) but I should have a beta up within a few days.

Jasper-Isis: I'll get that critiqe to you by tommorow.

Songbird21: How is your section coming?

Ironic def.

When you have an abundance of footage you thought was going to be scarse but your plan for that footage isn't working out very well.

I'm still working because I think it still has the potential to turn out well and I do have more footage than I thought, however it's very frustrating right now trying to get the framework layed out on the timeline. Hopefully one I get the basic structure down things will start working out a bit better.

This project seems to be stalling a little bit. Fourtionatly we have enough of it done or in final beta stages that we don't have to worry about it falling apart. But the realease might be pushed back if things don't go well. In all liklyhood though things will pick back up once the second wave of videos gets to the beta stage.

Empty spots on the timeline are starting to concern me though, I don't want to keep people waiting too long who have finished segments. I'll check with the people who expressed intrest in it earlier.

That's all for now.

Guys - you maybe happy to know that I finally installed Premiere today after 6 months - and none of my project files seem to have been corrupted

I'll give it a looking-over in the next couple of days, keeping the earlier suggestions in mind. Maybe coming into it with a fresh mind, I can re-do those scenes that stumped me last time I tried.

Back to AMVing for me, and soon!

***

Oh - and Pen-Pen - don't worry too much yet. Definitely check in with the 'other people'. If there's problems and gaps, and I do indeed make an efficient AMV comeback - I'd be glad to do another track when I'm done this, provided I can get ideas and footage.
