lol

Um, yes.

Two new tracks have been added, another one soon-to-be, I think. The proper, highest-quality sources have been obtained for pretty much all tracks. All tracks have been properly resized, encoded and prepared for merging. Work is going on with the 'extras' like introductions and commentary tracks, part-way done.

Jasper has been doing an excellent job as project leader, though I'll leave it to her to set a final release date here. It's getting done though; since the change of leadership, it's been moving forward steadily after unfortunately standing still for a number of months. I hope people have some sympathy for what's involved in putting together a project that's over an hour long (and most of the work right now is being done by one person).

And, gosh, Song...

She's adorable! xD

I'm compiling video samples of the widescreen commentaries right now. Kalium, if you have any takes other than the one from way back, let me know soon!

I somehow don't think that whatever we could muster forth would be at the same level as Song's earlier narration.

I'm not quite sure what to think of this idea... does anybody else have an opinion on this?

Yey, I've completed the widescreen commentary samples for Oto's and Pen's recordings. Check my AIM profile for links, and post comments here.

You'll probably notice that there's no smoke in the video. I've left it out for the time being, because I haven't had time to figure out how to make it follow the moving pipe.

One other thing: I kinda threw the arm movements on the timeline randomly, so don't worry if they don't quite make sense for now. What kinda bothers me is that they look a little too smooth to be natural. Any thoughts?

I'll only make a note that this is NOT my final attempt here. Seriously

I'm having problems getting access to a good microphone, and I screwed up with the multiple takes and de-noising a little. I can assure you that anything more final that I do would end up sounding at least better technically.

Pluss I was ultra-tired (or rather, frustrated) when I was recording it, too.

Excuses, I know. But I need those

Jasper, do you think theres any chance that we can get this to premeire for AWA? I can speed up on the naratives to make it in time, but what about the other aspects of the project? If we think its doable, I may wanna try and secure us a spot somewhere to show it... especially since theres no DDR this year .

Doable? I doubt it, though I'd need a solid deadline to tell.

The two things that we need to do ASAP are [1] vote on dwp's video and [2] decide who's recording the widescreen commentaries.

Here's the complete to-do list:

1. get HQ files of Oratorio and Requiem, pt. 2, and encode them for joining (me, though it kinda depends on Bakadeshi and Penpen)

2. record commentaries on new videos (Song)

3. complete fullscreen commentary video files (Bakadeshi)

4. join all fullscreen files together; encode (me)

[Done with fullscreen section.]

5. record all widescreen commentaries (I'm leaning towards Oto because he seems to be the most accessible and least busy. And a seductive voice, eh? That might be a useful tool to have on our side.

)

6. complete widescreen commentary video files (me) - this one's going to take a week or two.

7. complete credits (me, though I still need materials from TJ and dwp)

8. join all widescreen files together; encode (me)

[Done with widescreen section.]

[Done with project.]

Guys, let's do as much as we can within the next week. I really want to get most of the work done before I have to bury myself too deeply in these college applications. @__@

If you mean AWA 12

From what I've seen of the AWA schedule it's freakin' packed, so I don't know if they could jam it in on such short notice (I believe that VG3 took DDR's spot, but I could be wrong; and three other projects that I know of are also being shown).

I'm still pretty much waiting on trying to get a better headshot of myself for the credits (although I can get you the one i have at anytime)
