CascadaThon 2---OUT NOW!! CHECK ANNOUNCEMENTS FORUM!

[Hagaren Viper]

The compilation again looks awesome. I think that I agree with TC in that the credits could be a tad louded, but thats the only suggestion I have.

Also, watching the credits again...whaaat exactly is there to copyright in this vid? Everything in it is made by other people in the first place.

[MystykAMV]

my part looks fine now

just one thing, the transition at your Kaleido Star part Code, the mask could be nicer because you didn't mask some parts, here's a picture:


and yeah, I agree with that copyright thing Hagaren mentioned.

I don't understand that copyright thing either. He just put that in. You can just cut that out Code. That's askin for a takedown if we leave that in.

1st: Not so much a complaint as it is a suggestion. When you transition to the elemental gelade part, instead of having the girl just disappear, maybe make her start to fade out before the next scene comes in?

2nd: As for Transitioning into Pan's Ah My Goddess Track. I wouldn't be opposed to a white flash there or just a nice looking fade. I think it would be appropriate there.

4th: Also, when it comes to the credits music and sound effects there, don't be afraid to increase the decibal range. Turning that audio up some won't hurt it. As long as you don't turn it up too loud then what happens is the audio starts sounding.....scribbled?

I agree with TC about these 3 points. I actually do quite like the transition you used by letting the borders cut into the ZnT track so it's the same size as the credits window. But if you have a better one, don't be afraid to add it in and just render out that section for us to see. ^^

Also I figured out why my track is zoomed in, I rendered the final in 720p instead of 480p //facepalm so you'll have to resize it smaller so it doesn't look cropped/zoomed in. I'm actually uploading the correct final just now but I have to go to work soon so I might not be able to send it till sometime tonight. XD

Okie dokie!

I'll work on those things and send out the fixed things via pm later. These are small fixes that shouldn't take much time, but I do have a few minor things to accomplish today. So exxpect them later in the afternoon sometime. Plus, I still haven't heard from riccard, iCard and a few others.

And TC, I'll post the version that you created, but I personally like mine better. We'll let the group decide.

I too was wondering about the copyright thing at the end. I guess your credits editors went a little overkill. XD

Also, I still don't have Inan's final, so we may be looking at a pushback on the release date.

[Inan]

sorry guys to hold this back but i wont be able to send my worked on beta in till tonight ;-;
but im headed off to work now

[Kousaka]

I pretty much agree with what everyone has said so far especially that the credits need to be louder and the copyright thing needs to be removed.

[CodeZTM]

Ok, so let's re-evaluate our release schedule. I won't have time to work on Inan's part this evening when he can send it to me [family obligation].

Soooo... I'll do Inan's addition tomorrow afternoon.

From there... Well, it's kind of a heads up from when release gets made. I have college obligations that are first priority [assuming the MEP needs more work after the first bit of fixes]. So I'm going to say... Tuesday or Thursday. [October 4th or October 6th]

Release it on October 6th to celebrate the P4 anime

THIS MAKES SENSE OK

Alright guys. I love the feedback everyone is giving. Yeah. Next beta you render out Code, use the credits version I made. We can let the group decide which one to put in.

So, key points to take from everyone's thoughts so far:

1: Copyright Thing Get's Cut.
2: Flash or a nice fade into Ah, My Goddess.
3: Fade the masked transition into Elemental Gelade or leave as is.
4: Use my Credits transition in next compile beta to see how everyone likes it.
5: Turn Up The Credits Audio
6: Ocober 6th Release Date.
7: Drunken Hot-Tub Party?

STATUS REPORT INAN!! NAO!!

The MEP has been rescheduled to an October 6th release since not all the final's were turned in at the expected due date that was given a month in advance. Just a heads up.

Inan, you're the only one that needs to turn in your final. Get to work.

[CodeZTM]

TC, take a deep breath and relax. Inan has already been in conference with me about his final.

He had extenuating circumstances beyond his control, so please lay off him. We already have this worked out over Skype.

Well, I do wish to be informed of these things you know. Nobody told me a thing.

Also, Code. Forgot to ask. Did you find a way to implement CascadaThon 2 somewhere in your track? If you can't then it's fine. People know what they are watching anyway. I just thought that it would be a nice touch since we did it in the first CascadaThon. If you can't do it then that's fine. It's not really necessary anyway.

Was just curious was all.

[CodeZTM]

Ok, just a few minor updates.

1) Had some issues in my own personal life, so this may be pushed back until the weekend if more changes are requested. I seriously hope this isn't the case, but it's like living hell at the moment with school/work. I don't THINK it will happen, but if something pops up on Thursday [saaaaaay my economics professor being a bastard and giving our exam on Friday or my boss requiring me to do MORE pre-audit work on a client].

2) Either way with what you've read in #1, expect things in your pm boxes tomorrow night.

3) I personally reviewed Inan's new track, and I've already requested a final version. If you want to make any changes after the fact, he's already stated that he's willing to do that. But for the sake of expediting this process, you'll see this first version on the next compilation.

4) TigerxBunny and Penguin Drum are really good, and everyone should go watch them now.
