Cypherplex

Forgot about the file size... *LOL*

I'm looking at a 5 hour total download. That puts it at 11pm.

I'll sub it up tomorrow and Friday I think.

May yet work on Aria tonight, then.

Yes and no.

I've created a new video for the dvd menu, and I still got 16 hours until Cypher receives the video cause it's a slow upload.

Then with what free time he has will be putting in the hard sub and trying to blur out the Japanese text.

I also got to figure out how to make a possible commentary track which could be a second disc or just non existent.

Chances are this wont see a holiday release.

I hear the upload's finished. I will get on this as soon as I'm home. Planned to model for Aria, but I figure I'd better have more than a couple of hours free for modeling, whereas I'm confident I can do your subs in the evening of the rest of the week.

Blurring's easy, timing the sub isn't a problem, it's how I do my end credits on Headmasters. you still need to confirm the font you'd like, and what colour it ought to be, Hik.

Whatever I get done tonight I'll render as a test for you, so if you can give me the info on what I need tonight, I'll get on it. won't be on a messenger so as to avoid being disturbed, but I'll check this thread before I get to work.

Are ye deaf or mad? It's ear-splittingly painful! Most of the people on the DYRL? thread preferred VM, but didn't care enough about it to protest.

For that matter, it sounds NOTHING like it did in the anime. VM is almost there, man. I'm not bitching, I'm BEGGING. I watched the sample of DYRL? again, and my ears farting bled. No lie. There was red, coppery liquid flowing slowly out of my ear canal. Perhaps I'm just a bit sensitive, but the point stands: Voice Mail is easier on the ears, sounds more like they have a helmet on and not a fishbowl, and is more like what they used in the actual anime.

It is your production, but I can't see how it's humanly possible to like the effect. Dude, I was just asking you to change it to a better effect. Nothing more.

Oh, and I haven't seen anything about DYRL? since the Act I sample.

Talk about beating a dead horse. If someone pestered me about the Trypticon voice effects on Headmasters, I'd definitely add them to some form of ignore list.

Indeed! I can't take much more of him telling me how bad he needs model help XD HELP HELP HELP!

I'll still record my audition tonight along with other auditions. Worse comes to worse, you can delete my stuff if it doesn't work

I mostly model Transformers, but I'm game. Here's a sample of stuff that isn't Transformers related. As long as there isn't a rush situation, since my personal time is stretched thin as it is, but then again, considering how many people turned me down on my 3D fan project, I feel obligated to contribute where I can.

I work exclusively on 3DStudio Max. I've no time to learn another tool of the trade. As long as it's props, ships, vehicles, planets, and backgrounds, I can probably help.

These are in order of age. The first is my earliest work, and the last is my most recent.

Just released the English version of Do You Remember Love? As a music video using the footage from Flashback 2012 with vocals from the Fandub movie.

*Grabs jaw from wherever it landed on the floor and tries to put it back where it goes*

*ends up tossing it over his shoulder*

eeeeewwww Vista

Actually.... Vista's one BIG plus is making DVDs. Very nice, with animated menus and all if you take the time to learn how. It's the ONE reason why I have kept it on one computer when I regressed everything back to XP

REJOICE! A cast has been decided, for the most part at least.

I haven't chosen a Jackson for the project as no one seems to fit what I'm looking for. Chilly's been pretty good at supporting my decisions on who's who so I can say the cast will be grand.

Shite mate, Jackson sounds like he's right up my alley! Why you no bap me upside the head?

Gimme 'till this week end, unless you already have your sights on someone.

Ah, it's been a few months...with the completion of DYRL it's time to move back into the driver seat of this lil badboy.

I've casted a new Ivanov who will also be playing another role in macross aria.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5yctflNpWQ this is the latest sample of about 4 minutes worth of footage. It's a bit hiccupy as I haven't fine tuned it but it's not bad for now.

No due date yet as I still got alot to fine tune, and a few members to recast and getting some others off their butts to finish.

If you need anything for Edgar, lemme know, I'll get on it ASAP.

As for the blooper reel, sadly, no one had any bloopers to offer, so I doubt anything will be used.

I had bloopers. They were in French, it never occured to me you might have been interested in them

Thanks for the heads-up! Finally managed to sew that sucker up!

Good work, one and all! The High Quality imagery is excellent and I really do sound competent near the end!

Advice for anyone wanting to try Zentreadi, really study! It's bloody hard work!

*LOL* I think I got it in one shot Knowing Klingon paid off

Final half will be up this weekend. I just sat and watched a good portion of it, finding lil things to fix again but nothing that'll slow the production or really be even noticed if I don't fix it in the end.

Everyone who watches this, please take note, everyone did their best, played their heart and souls out for this cause they were fans, and want other fans to enjoy it as well. No one got paid, no one did this cause they wanted to get famous or recognized in some way. they wanted to do it cause it was an anime they have grown to enjoy ,and because they're doing a happy they really like.

So don't just play favorites, be kind and courteous to everyone as they all did a great job.

Remember, if one person didn't do their role, this film wouldn't be out.

I have a solution for your credits as well, since you can't alter the video. It's what Grimbot usually does on his dubs.

First is to credit everyone involved in a separate text file, along with production notes you wish to include, and package all that in your final zip.

The second part is that when the original japanese credits roll, you use your subtitler to credit the fandub's cast. Granted, the fandub cast's credit will be able to be turned off, but since we'll need the subs anyway for the alien speech, just add the credits at the end of your subtitle file.

And... it's always a good idea to leave the credits unaltered. Less things for the owner to complain about if they ever get on your case about fandubbing and stealing their rights

Sadly nothing yet, 1 person has turned in his final recording....I still got 3 ppl left for one liners...I don't think it'll be completed tonight as I hoped but it's still possible.

WE are recording right now. Depends when your night ends

Beep me about the end credits, I'll just need a high quality render of the vid you want as background, no audio since that'll be up to you, and your credits listing.

If you need help for your end credits, wave my way

I've only seen that in Frontier. When Isamu's is like that, he's at low altitude, so none of that happens. If you're talking about DYRL? (which I have never seen before), it was just a movie... VF-1s, like all fighters before them, are unpressurized. The VF-19 on, apparently, aren't. So...

And I'm not saying I coulda done better, I'm saying Hik could've done better.

*shrugs* Considering it's the movie itself, I believe that what it shows on screen is the only reference it needs. Minmay and Hikaru look like they're in a pressurized cockpit when they're cruising around the rings of saturn.

It being "just a movie" doesn't really apply. The fact is, it's shown onscreen, that does make it canon for this dub, and I believe that since it is meant to be stand alone, any other outside references should be disreguarded.

As for Hik's skills, frankly, he's at least on par with me, if not better. I can guarantee you that doing better is something that would have been very hard, this is definitely one of the most solid fandubs I've seen in years, considering the length of it and all.

And even without the speaker, the cabin isn't pressurized, so it's a soundless vaccuum in the cockpit. I always insist when a pilot is speaking, you're hearing his radio transmission. Even in real life, it's true.

Surely it's pressurized every now and then, there's a nice scene where the helmet's window is all gone

Well, I like it... And my biggest problems were with the LQ sample... I just pick on the little things... And I mean, it does get annoying. If there were fewer lines with that effect, it woulda slipped right past. Moving on...

Also, Cypher, those helmets are not at all fishbowly... The visor is, but... The mic's right there in front of your mouth, mounted where the respirator should be...

Also, I've heard this effect elsewhere, heard other effects for this genre (and in fact this anime) of dub, and in my experience, this is something used before. It's a common sound effect.

The mic may be there, but does the helmet have an exterior speaker? If it does, I can agree that it would sound like a voice mail effect, but if it doesn't... back to talking in an enclosed bubble of glass (which is all I meant by fishbowl).

I'm not really gonna let that drop considering how much you've insisted the whole thing makes the entire production save three female voice actresses suck

*nods* I'd say that settles the issue

The effect is meant to be an in-cockpit sound thing... talk into a fishbowl, people on the outside do sorta hear a warped sound like that. I'd just call it "spaced up" and leave it at that.

Voice effects are tricky, after all, especially when you're trying to go for something that's not been used before. I should know

Awesome, great you VA's came in to talk some with us! Can't wait to see the finished product, i'm not going to spoil the

suprise until it's all done and ready. Good luck Hikuro!

Always a pleasure to break the "snob and silent" stereotype

Well, it's no big deal, just constructive criticism. Also, I didn't mean watch it. I meant watch the Low Quality video. Any idiot can see the bad syncing. And yes, I am naming myself as said idiot.

I did note some synching issues myself after the crash into the engine compartment. Minmay was off slightly, but that may be because it's the low quality encode, and I think Hik had to rearrange his sound track to follow the clipped video. It's off by one or two flaps, though, which I've learned is acceptable in a fandub

I admit that Fokker's voice did surprise me at first, but I just figured that's what this version of him is about. He is rather gruff in his on-screen action.

As for the loud voices and the ones that need to speak up, a leveller would solve that problem. Hit me up on AIM before you do the final high quality, Hik, I'll toss a little program over that calculates the averages of your voice track and adjusts to the specific volume you require.

Out of sync? Last I checked there was nothing out of sync on it. And stuttering? The only stuttering i did was when he got nervous introducing himself.

The HQ subtitles will cover up the japanese ones, but there's no way I can actually get rid of those, I've stated that about a dozen times. I could use COB but the screen quality would be crap, like you would be mixing SC and Megazone again.

And stated the mic noise, can't be helped, but I've heard more people say that this is so far much better than COB by a long shot and if that's the worst I've heard right there, than I know I did a good job on it.

Well, I'd say he was waiting for the HQ version so obviously he was expecting something professional. Hik, for a bunch of amateurs, this is definitely one of the higher quality dubs I've heard. It's on par with TFCog's Beast Wars II stuff, which is quite possibly their best material.

*shrugs* I delivered what I was asked for Hayao. He does seem like he's more of a hyper-type persona than what I saw of Robotech, so I think the younger brash voice works well. At the end of the day, though, it's what Hikuro wanted, and he's the boss.

Like I tell the people in France when they complain about the French Canadian Transformer names in my dubs: Outdo us Best way to get it the way you want

That's why I didn't say anything about the helmet effect. Plus, I've no clue what it's supposed to sound like. If I did, I could probably help, but like you said, I wouldn't be able to wait that long

Then again, if it takes that long for the rest of the lines to come in, next time you see me online, I've spotted a few tweaks you might have missed. Nothing major, just stuff that can get fixed while you're in a waiting zone. And a run through a volume leveler of your voice track wouldn't hurt either, especially for a DVD release.

You pointed out on TFCog that you were worried about eBay Sellers stealing your audio as a "Rare English Version". Report them on eBay, if you ever see one, or let the buyer know what they're actually paying for. Or simply report to eBay that this is a non-profit project being stolen. That's what the guys at Star Trek: Phase 2 did, and they got their point across.

Personally I'm happy with all the voice actors on this. I haven't seen anything of the originals, and have only Robotech as reference (and I never liked their voices anyway).

BTW, you've got some spellings wrong in the terms of your 2008 credits Nothing major, and it's not meant as a public humiliation or anything, so that's why I'm letting you know here instead of in private. I'm not enough of a jerk to actually mean it in a bad way, and I'll relay your compliments to Cassa about her Claudia. She wants to wait for the final version in order to watch it, me I'm happy with Low Quality
