HAY TAKE REMEMBER THAT MEP YOU SIGNED UP FOR?

So um. An update from me, here. My track is about halfway done, the beta that I posted . . . however long ago has been tweaked and IMO looks better. Due to a slight problem involving the location of my hard drive (a.k.a. it is temporarily misplaced), I won't have a beta/lossless track clip for Sayde tonight, as I'm sure it's the deadline, but I will do my best to render one overnight and have something up by tomorrow.

Classes recently finished, I'll probably have my track finished in the near future if I can get to it and concentrate.

And find my hard drive.

You're not the only person who'll be handing in their footage late. No need to feel embarrassed.
Anyways, as of today, (May 1st) these are the following people I need footage from.

-dj
-aerialesque
-inthesto
-Arkada
-IcyCloud
-bluetrain
-OropherZero
-AMV4000

To those of you who let me know beforehand that you'll be late w/ your submissions, I thank you. To those who didn't, well please either get 10 seconds of footage done soon, upload some footage from your game for me to use instead, or at the very least, send me a pm stating when I can expect something from you.

=S Sayde, a little confused. That beta that I posted a while ago was XviD compressed (I'm fairly certain) and thus looks horrid. I do hope that's not what you plan on using in your credits >.> Not to mention the track has changed slightly since then.

Argh, being banned and schoolwork has kept be behind on this projec.

Sayde, I'll upload some footage for you later today. But first, this paper needs to be written, and I'm gonna have to sleep off the excessive grump.

It should'nt matter believe it or not.
-My idea for the credits requires I shrink the resolution down a noticable amount on each amv. So even if the footage quality of your amv isn't all the impressive, it should look just fine regardless.
.
-I also didn't care whether or not you made adjustments to your footage after I got your beta. All I care about is just having something to work with.

Case in point, if you have some more footage you'd like me to use instead, send it my way. If you don't get around to it Take, then don't worry about it. Because as far as I'm concerned, I've got your 10 seconds of footage already.

btw, thanks for the heads up inthesto.

I've been working my ass off to finish teh henta mep and website work and all that so i guess i can start on this now

still working on tweaking footage with avs, will upload soon

bluetrain · Post by **bluetrain** » Wed May 02, 2007 9:44 am

I tried uploading already. Failed.
I'll try again tonight.

Also i think i will definately change to "S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow Of Chernobyl" as i pretty much want to be the First to Music-Video-Alize that game. And i just finished it tonight and got the "true" ending - man its 900% better and makes so much sense..!

Also Sayde i'll be sending the full intro movie - you can use whichever scene you want from the video. Its about 3mins long and FULL of some awesome footage. It is however 170mb. But the quality is fairly tasty. Oh and don't worry about the "noise" its part of the game - something to do with radiation - its on everything.

Okay, made a few small changes and one major change.

The major change: for various reasons, angel234 (now known as Dark Seraphim) is no longer on the project. Takefuji and I discussed it afterwards, and we both agreed that "Switchback" doesn't fit as well stylistically with the rest of the songs. Thus, the last track has been changed to "The Heart of Everything" by Within Temptation, because it will end the mix well. To keep things simple, Take agreed to edit the track herself - she's using Kingdom Hearts. A new link has been put up for the new mix, but nothing else was changed, so it shouldn't affect anyone. It's just there if you want to hear the song, basically.

@AMV4000: loli golf, lawlz. XD I've changed your info on the main page, but let me know if capturing doesn't work out or if any other problems crop up, alrighty?

@bluetrain: I've never heard of that game - at least, not that I remember. I'll be interested to see what you do with it. Main page has been altered for you.

@everyone: if you're still lax on your lossless footage for sayde (like me...

), please step it up a notch and try to prepare some. I'm not sure if he sent this to everyone or just me, but he said he'd basically be gone through the 14th, so keep that in mind as well.

First beta deadline is on May 20th. I'm not expecting much. Just basically a sign that you're working on your segment. I probably won't really get on anyone's ass about this deadline, but I'll become an unholy terror by the second one, so beware. (Not sure when the second deadline will be. Depends how far everyone is by the 20th. I'll most likely leave it up to you guys to determine a workable timeline - within reason, of course.)

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves. ACen convention timeline starts on Thursday night for me, so I'll be unreachable from then to probably Monday morning. Hope to meet a lot of editors while I'm there, and if any of you are going, maybe I'll get lucky and bump into one of ya. =^.^=

See ya, folks.

- Jen
