Hikuro

Great news, I was talkin to my Mao VA, she's much much better and is gonna start recording her lines again to finish her scenes in a few days.

Likewise, it just doesn't mean much of squat when ya got a shadow of a "giant robot" kickin a rover.

oh finally saw the trailer, god blessyoutube, ummmm it really wasn't much.........I mean we see a shadow of a transformer pounding the crap outta that rover and dats it....

Oh god, this is where we should all tell Shoji "PLEASE stop messing with Starscream, we loved your prime, but keep Starscream loveable"

No kiddin fashion seemed pretty bad. But man Mari in her younger years....god I miss the freakin 80's.

I managed to see a First Look at it, Spacey seemed pretty happy with his performance and was even making a crack "Yeah Lex has got his world domination plans set, and then superman catches on to him pretty quickly......................dammit" I'll see it tomorrow maybe, it was on my list to do today, but my gal and I had to spend some quality time and she can't go to the movies with me so I have to go alone.

I didn't realize till I saw some concept CG on Season 2 where I went "WOW! Hey that Rhinox looks like my BW toy" and sure enough it was....same with cheetor. But Turantulus doesn't have that same head does he? Or does he have the same thing where he can switch from a "mutant" head to a robotic version? I think all I got left to collect is Turantulus and DinoBot and I'll have all the Reissued BW toys....I think I might pass on Primal and Megs reissues cause they look like complete crap.

I dunno......is it just me........or is there something about that picture which just doesn't seem right? Seeing him and the human's around just doesn't wanna focus well with my eyes, like it's a photoshopped picture or something. Anyways, I was at Fredmyers where they had another lil sale and I managed to pick up Rhinox, Cheetor and Waspinator (that's all they had) so I thought meh why not. Sadly Im' not impressed with ANY of these beastwars toys, they just don't make me go "ooooooooooooohhhhhh" compared to some of the newer stuff. Also, why in the hell does Waspinator have 2 heads?

From what my friend Maria told me (cause she fandubs Aquarion) that it's going to be an all new series starting in October.

So yeah in other news, found out a guy I sort of VA with at TFCog.net named Daniel Ross has been trying for several weeks to land just an audition with DreamWorks to do some voice overs for Transformers. However the CastingDirector said hell no to his agent over and over again and even hanging up several times. Well Daniel came to us at TFCog and asked if we could shout out to the people working on the casting to atleast give him a shot. Then he just heard recently that they finally agreed. If none of you guys have heard of Daniel Ross, he's actually a very good Ameature Voice Actor who can pull off an AMAZING G1 Starscream ever so similar to Chris Latta.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-_4lrBJcVE Managed to get Part B up, this one features me as Nutuku, which I think was a mistake, and some extra work since I was so short on male extras.

Thank you, I played Shin.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGsc4coCXOg There ya guys go, it goes up to just before Shin awakens on the island.

Ohhhhh you know wha? I'd pay money to see P.W.Anderson and Uwe go at it in the ring.

It also shows how he's gonna loose so much creditability now that he's blown his wad over something so trivial. I was being being told over and over that my movies sucked, I'd expect people to tell me what was wrong with 'em so I can fix that problem in later films....... Crap I almost rented Blood Rayne, wasn't that directed by him? I don't even remember seeing it in theaters, but here it is on DVD....glad I passed it up.

there is a tiny peg on the bar which is connected to the shoulder area....it snaps if you apply just a tiny bit of pressure while you could be rotating the shoulder around for robot mode or back to bike mode.

Well since it was in a parking grage with not alot of light it's hard to tell if it was brown, yellow or a rustic orange. As for the replacement bar, i was excited at first but now I'm having my second thoughts....was just mentioning it to someone and they think it might be offered to those Japanese stores.....since they don't ship their replacement parts over seas.

Right, if I end up distributing this I make ZERO profit off it, infact I'm more taking a hit off it with the shipping then I would for the materials since I buy this stuff at work where I get a discount at...not much, pennys, but it's still something. And I even take that discount into account on the pricing. The most I think some people would pay would be like 5 bucks with shipping and DVD. I'm wondering also if Screen Saver running would have any affect on the encoding process either......or maybe drive speed? The DVD's are meant for 16X, and I've even gone ahead and lowered the speed for better quality....meh I'll try it again tonight without even a screen saver running. The DVD menu for the movie is also very cool, I took a small amount of the scene between Roy and a SV-51 going all the way to him shooting down the missiles, course it's edited down to about 24 seconds, from a minute and a half clip. So the menu has become completely animated. I'm also wondering why chapters don't seem to pop up when selected on the menu screen......it might be the same issue, stuff going on in the background. Well just more experimentation before I finish the movie yep yep! I'm about 98% complete.

Lastnight I guess in my sleep I knocked my garland off my desk. Course the right arm went FLYING off, found it 4 feet away by my TV center, but the left arm was still in perfect shape and the Garland in general was just fine.

That's my initial goal is to do all 5 episodes. The projects been in the plans since I think right after Episode 1 or 2....the biggest problems are hitting area's where the BGM isn't existing in the 2 OST's, or there's an Sara singing, but it's a unique variation and I can't somehow drown out some of the japanese vocals or there's a special sound being used and the japanese vocals are going off, shin's talking or what ever, or grunting, so it sort of makes things difficult to use. I've hit those snags in Episode 1 as well in many moments, but the English dialouge was able too drown that out so you really don't take notice to it unless you listen in very carefully.

Thanks, sadly my VA for Mao caught a cold while she was in Alberta last week.....so I gotta wait another week or two before she gets better enough to do her lines....I'm now 2 weeks behind schedule and now gonna look at a July release. Episode 2 wont be released till August or September.

Lil lacking in detail, pretty simplistic design but I reallyc an't complain on it since it can be used to mess around with. Wish I could do just make my freakin own like I knew what I was doin.

You're right, they shouldn't and I'm very upset with Yamato for not doing anything about this when they could of. I'm very upset that mine broke so easily and now that right arm flops off cause all that's holding it together in Slave mode are the magnets and they just really aren't powerful enough to mess around with.

Thank you, she's a pro from FUNImation, she's been in Fruits Basket the last I heard....she was also doing some auditions for leading roles that FUNI managed to get the liscenes too but I can't remember the titles....she also does some fandubbing work of her own like scenes from Aquarion and Sailor Moon etc etc...she even did Minmay for a few of my old SDF Macross scenes that never got released online. Also the girl playing Mao is a professional who I think works for Ocean Group. Last role I remember her doing was just some extra work for Inuyasha and was auditioning for a role in Hikaru no Go. Her and I were in an ameature VA Panel at Sakuracon back in 05, dont' know if anyone was there from Macross World though, doubt it. Also since it was just a rough draft, I deleted Scene 6 from Youtube.com I know ppl who read this board will want too watch it to see for themselves, but seeing as it was just a rough, there's no point in having it up when the final is completed. But if you guys wanna see just a cheapo trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dFtcd9vQxk It features the voice of Allison Rose who plays Sara Gnome for othe dub. She did a fantastic job in starting scene as Sara when she tells Shin to leave the island. One of the toughest things about Fandubbing is finding people to do voices, not because fandubs suck, but because alot of people are shy OR one of the dumbest reasons is because it's not Sailormoon, Inuyasha, Dragonball Z or Final Fantasy....or .Hack
