i was expecting better...

[spk1983]

@goerigi I know right? I wasn't too happy with how it came out either, but I was trying to work with a deadline at the time.

[goerigi]

@spk1983 i mean isnt wasnt bad or anything, just idk. there were a lot of fades. yeah it did feel a bit rushed haha :)

[spk1983]

@goerigi I hear ya about the fades, I guess I don't generally like to use hard cuts much. Thanks for your input though, it's always appreciated!

[spk1983]

Just a request; anyone who is attending Anime Boston, could you please record the showing of this video? I will very much like to see the crowd reaction to this. Thank you in advance.

[spk1983]

@XxContestCharlie Thanks for enjoying it, the contest version to be aired at AB, is slightly different from this though - there are no live action scenes, otherwise it's just slightly tighter in editing compared to this.

[spk1983]

@kuronekochan1992 First off, thanks for liking my work, it's greatly appreciated.

Before I can help, are you using WMM for editing? Or are you using a more professional-level application (e.g. Vegas/Premiere)? As I mentioned, most of my techniques are VERY simple to implement, but you'll need higher-level apps to accomplish them (e.g. masking). Message me your answer, comments can only fit so much.

[kuronekochan1992]

waaaah I like ur work ! I was just talking to ur bro and he mentioned u did this !! can u teach me how to use some of the software i have ? onegai!!! i'm just self taught and i really would like to know how you do ur effects !! * pretty plz with coca -cola bubbles* lol

[ShionSonozaki2]

@spk1983 lol I'm actually going to take a photoshop class for my jr. year next year to help with animating and such, but it'll probably also help with masking too since vegas' masking thing kinda sucks. and yeah I see =o little effects like that really add alot to the video XD its really hard to choose, but I think I might like this vid a little better than the "It Means Nothing..." one ^^; I think mostly since I like the song a little better, and I absolutely love Ef A tale of memories XD
