Valentine MEP 2012 - Phase 1

[TritioAFB]

Ok Sashiro added a new beta. Check the spreadsheet

So... We've sorta abandoned our original idea... mostly because we couldn't find the facial expressions we wanted.

We've made an abridged version of an unreleased romance AMV using Millennium Actress & "Until the End of Time" by Sarah Brightman. The length is 1:33.

I wanted to make sure the change was OK with everyone before uploading a beta.

[TritioAFB]

Hmm ok then buddy, let's see what you made

[Warlike Swans]

Well assuming I can operate a spreadsheet it should be up.

Spoiler :

Looks much better with it completed! I'm fond of the text overlay now. XD I still think the bar transition is a little strange considering a majority of scene changes are done through crossfades and hard cuts, but it's all on what you're happy with.

Sashiro -

Spoiler :

Watched both this and the first beta, and this is much better. I'd just like the point out that there's still a watermark of sorts, (flashback stamp for the episode? I'm not sure), at :47 that you may want to crop it out. Also, I'm not so sure that the dialogue is even necessary in the beginning, since the concept is pretty much understandable after :34. If you consider getting rid of it, maybe just give more flashbacks for their relationship and expand on what's already there. But in any case, good stuff so far!

Spoiler :

Interesting concept! Can't seem to find anything to critique about it. o.o; Great job!

Thanks! And yeah, I agree with you, it's a random transition, but the beat there was really different from the rest of the ones in the song, and it seemed weird to ignore that and give it crossfade like the rest.

Ok Warlike, I've watched it and I'm pleased with the beta.
I reviewed it just to see if there was something else to check, but it's ok. Unless Code or someone else has anything to say, I think this one is ready.
Send the info about the beta so that I can update the first post.

I was curious since you´re collabing: Who edited which segement? the beta for itself looks like it was edited by one person.

Since more betas are appearing, seems I´ll have to hurry with mine. And also about transitioning:

I was thinking that instead of using the standard transitions, I was thinking of creating a kind of crossover story in the MEP. The reason is thanks to the differences between the songs, since I got down-beat and up-beat songs, and let the betas appear between the story. But this is an idea, if anyone wants to say something, welcome

So basically doing the MEP inside of a story-based amv? (amv-ception?) I like it, but perhaps I'm reading this wrong...

[TritioAFB]

exactly, that´s why I need the WAVs. Although the first method is easier for me (standard transitions)

but there´s time left still before February so this may change, it´s just an idea as I said before
