Time for a new post.
I've been really busy the last days trying to get a lot of work done, not only for HelloFansubs but Mognet too - but I'll tell you all about Mognet at some other time.
Right now, it's time for my update on Hello!Fansubs for which I did two new songs. \o/ YAY! (two less to do off of my to-do-list).
Anyway. Since the release of °C-ute's latest single DVD "Temari no Uta II" was delayed for two (?) weeks I decided to work on some other stuff meanwhile. I already had some lines for the latest BerryZ Koubou single "YUKE! YUKE! Monkey Dance" done but wasn't finished with it yet. To make a long story short - I needed about 72 hours total work time to finish up yuke yuke which I split up across about 2 weeks, because I had some work for the magazine to do (as you can read in previous posts). So after Drazic told me 'what I was working on' (which was a quiz that only he answered) I decided to make an endspurt with the project and get it done as soon as I can.
I needed 2 more days of working nearly 8 hours to get it finished but I think the end product exeeds all expectations. With the help of fellow asscalc-mate Meitei I was able to pull of some really awesome effects like clipped \K effects and individual start/end/fade and shake options - which is awesome. I did learn some new stuff while working on this so I'm really happy about how this went.
The end product was well recived though people tend to be sparse with comments. But fellow typesetters who commented on it were really astonished and happy to see such a good outcome. And I totally agree with some, that this video might just be my best - so far.
The other song I was working was the Rakuten Eagles support theme by °C-ute, which was released late march. I was thinking along the lines of: "to make c-ute fans happy since latest single won't be out for another two weeks at least". Unlike yuke yuke this video went fairly fast. I only needed one forenoon to get it out and it had some nice effects. I drew two parts of the official logo by the team the "E" and the "S" as shapes and let them fly. I also used stars and baseballs in it. Generelly I tried to keep the theme of the song in mind and the predecessor with GAM and what effects we used there. This wasn't as hard and therefore not really worth talking about though I was happy when I finished it. One less video to work on. Next will probably be the new °C-ute song which will be out next week.
As always I included pictures. The files are available in both Xvid and H254 encodes on the Hello!Online board tracker.
Well, that's it for now! See you again next time.
ps: I finally had time again to clean my flat. Goooooood, I'm so happy!
