Beta comments -

@guy:
Everything without text is fine. The text sucks. Period. I'm sorry, but I hate it. I feel like it's a poor attempt at humor and it utterly fails. I think you should ditch the text completely (it's not really necessary, I don't think). Text is a dangerous thing to do, especially if you're trying to be funny...and in this segement, it just isn't.

@Copycat:
No qualms, really, I like it a LOT. I agree with Bauzi about feathering those edges, though.

@melee:
I'm torn on this. The first part of the beta and the second part are very different from each other. You're kinda doing a serious, good-to-be-alive thing in the first half, but then the second half you get all goofy. I like both, but I kinda feel like you should go with one or the other.

I also agree with what Bauzi said about the slowness of the mechs.

I'm not crazy about the thing you do with the screen at 0:12. It looks too fake. Either spruce it up or do something different.

If you go with the head thing you're doing, also speed that up and make it look crazier, with stuff going on in the background. Everything in the second part of the video just feels way too slow (except for the last few seconds).

@Kariudo:
Final beta looks good to me.

Sorry, but my final won't be probably until the 8th as well. >_<

But I am going to upload my new beta tonight after I get off of work. I think you will all like it. *hopes*

Well ... that being said, looks like i'll need the extension as well : /
Also, bauzi, i've tried so many things to get the video to look better, temporal smoothing, normal smoothing, sharpen, chroma smoother, contrast, brightness ... I can't think of anything else ... i really don't want my piece being the only one looking like shit ... i'll keep trying but if anybody has any ideas, lemme know.

Edit: Did anyone else fall for the april fools pranks? I did

I you always run into jokes =D

But yeah one org joke got me too. This was a really good one ^^

Beta status:
8th april please.

To do list:
-Finaly get pinao keys into a nice looking way.
-Effects for the last clip
-16:9 -> 4:3 This means that I might have to redo/fix some effects.
-Greg-Transition-Talkabout-Something

All in all I need time that I don´t have right now. College keeps me busy like hell.

@guy:
I would fix all the frames in Photoshop at this single scene or I would ignore it. Well we have to deal with it. Maybe you would like to ask in the forum with a thread about how you could fix it?
If you can´t fix it, it´s not the end of the world.
