So far, so good. Good use of high montion scenes. I'm looking forward to seeing more then the first fifteen seconds.

Thank you.

Nice. First half was esspecialy cool. Second half was a bit plain in comparison. Considering how well you synced the effects, it would work well if you made the majority of the vid effect filled.

Well, PenPen said to keep the FX to a minimum. Also, I don't generally add FX just for the heck of it; only to help the footage along if it can't keep up with the beat. I'll see if there's any places I can add something though.

Also, the scenes moved too fast into action. Try starting out the scene selection with things a bit slower and more "in preperation: than going quickly to full blown fighting, unless you've got something else planned that is. Anyway, good luck.

The thing is that if I did use slower stuff once the music picked up it would drag horribly. I try to never loose pace with the music.

I'll have to agree with bum on all points there. Those first few seconds are excellent.

As someone who said he'll watch this track developing carefully (it's my favorite part of the song), I approve

Thanks very much Oto.

Ooo, nice. The way you opened it was very cool indeed.

Actually, I think that it's a good idea to open with a burst of action, then slow down slightly for story development before picking up the pace again.

Good job!

Thanks Jasper. I'm glad no one thinks the piano roll footage dragged. It was the only thing I could think of. Lol.

Hopefully I'll have more for you guys to see by tonight. ^_^\/

Actually, he said that we're operating on a "If you've got it, flaunt it" policy.

My internet is sporatic so I have to make this quick. Regular conectivity will be back monday or wensday at the latest, untill then I may be incommunicado.

Bum, looking good, I'll have a few final notes later.

Songbird: looking good, the theme is pretty straightforward and understandable already so you are on the right track. Timing is (as always) excelent. As far as FX goes this is a segment that will really benifit from it. Regular anime footage is generally very clean and often bright, but the music here is darker and more chaotic. So I would actually encourage you to play around with effects, not the beat kind, you already know where and where not to put thoose, but the filter kind that changes the look of the footage. Just look at the shot immediatly after the piano roll, fits perfectly. The rapid motion effects right after that were also very nice. Those shots make the last two (sauske saving naruto and naruto saving sdauske from garaa) look kind of bland even though the scene selection is good, especiallyt the first one as it is not overused.

I'm going to be wraped up in the Animasia release preperations for a while now that that is back on track so don't expect much progress on my end for a bit, but one Animasia is out things will pick up fast. Progress on the various sections still in progress or on the drawing table is still greatly apriciated and I'll be providing feedback as soon as my internet connection is fixed.

I'd better post this while I still can.

I'll catch you on one of these days, then we'll talk

Some of us are just lazy. I thought I noticed some rogue frames, and I want confirm their existance and locations before I said anything, I've just been to busy/lazy to do that.

Also I forgot.

I'll have something up for you by the end of tomorrow, I hope.
