I think we're focusing more on "pivotal life moments," not just the aging/maturation process itself. So ages shouldn't really be that big of a concern...

But bum is right about the importance of sharing ideas and planning. So far I think only a handful of us have actually posted in-depth descriptions of what we would like to do with our requested tracks. It'd be nice to see more of the potential editors here develop their ideas a little bit more.

ok I've started to write things down a bit now. Im just puting down scenes which I could use, as I go through watching the series. Oh and I've also started righting out a basic plan

Death (gf dying, event leading up to her death)

Hate (bf's hate for the moster he blamed for killing his bf)

Memories (good and bad memories of time togeather)

Revenge (revenge against killer)

End?

Thats the current plan I've got, in a sort of chronological order. However I want to mix things up a bit, and creat a transition. For example, having scenes which are a part of the Hate section mix in with the memories section as one is ending and another is begining. Also having scenes which fit into one section, go into another at around the mid point.

My problem is that I dont know what section of the song Im using yet, so planing remains a little "abstract" and Im throughing around idea's without being sure if they'l realy work.

Ditto.

There was a suggestion a while back to have the segments in age order but it was discarded for the same reason as trying to show a single life, it's just too limiting. Having an age order would add something to the final project but it would reduce the quality of the individual segments, and that's the important thing.

Yes I realize this is a problem. I was hoping that we would have only one or two conflicts and that I could fill up the roster without to much trouble. Unfortionatly things didn't pan out that way.

At this point I will wait a little bit more for things to settle into some kind of order and to see if I can't get some of the undecided people to go for one of the short sections. Looks like I might end up doing the charicter profiles if I want them to turn out the way I've planed *cringes*

In case you are wondering what's going on with this project. The answer is regrettably, nothing at the moment. The reason? I am dead. I am dead and my finals are dancing on my grave singing halliluah.

Normal brain functioning will resume Wensday night, till then:

Yikes, good luck. I know how it feels.

Heh, yea, it's close to the same with me - not finals, but essay + other commitments.

That, and I'm still somewhat at a loss for scenes I could/should add into the middle area to improve the flow.

Perhaps I should resort to trying to implement some effects instead - if I knew how

Anyways, no rush - I'm sure I'll have another beta by christmas, at least.

Ok I've decided to do the driving rhythm, seeing as no-one els wants it. I spent alot of time yesterday just siting infront of vegas, wondering what the hell to do. its alot easier to plan than to work. I seriosly considered backing out. But I woke up today at 5am and managed to get a few seconds of edits in thier without geting frustrated. So things will probaly turn out ok.

OK, I'm finnally done with finals, at home and settled in. I've opened up my editing software and started playing around both for this project and a video I have planed to Zero 7's "In the Waiting Line."

I hope to have track assignments done tomorrow, If I have to I'll leave some short peices open in the hopes of convincing Bakadeshi, Godix, or AMV_4000 to take one. As for the people who have made requests, I think that with some tweaking there's no reason we couldn't have everyone contribute somthing. Anyways, I think it's going to work out. Sorry for the delay and see you tomorrow.
