Hi guys, how are you doing?
Tonight i would like to present you my latest project wich is set to be underway very soon, with its first chapter. I premise with saying that i really appriciate Dragon Ball Super, expecially since Future Trunks came back, as there was a nice tonal shift.
But there are rooms for improvement: very often, good moments are interrupted by useless fillers or dialogues, wich really bothers me. Also, i don't like at all the colour palette used by the serie, and some of the audio effects expecially during the fighting scenes wich lacks "Impact".
Also, i noticed the total lack of of blood during the fighting, wich made me miss Z a lot.
So i've decided to accept a challenge: trying to improve Dragon Ball Super by smoothing out its viewing experience. I use the Blu Ray version to start with.
That's the list of changes i'm going to make.
Fillers
Dragon Ball Supper is FILLED with fillers, so i'll try to make the viewing experience smoother by eliminating useless scenes (Who said Goten & Trunks fighting with a giant snake?), or doing a different montage take of some. Expecially during the fights, i'll stay on the battle as much as possible, skipping those useless parts.
Colour Palette
Let's face it. Dragon Ball Super's original colour palette is has some issues. It's too bright, and the main problem is that the light shading on carachters faces are too heavy.
Can't solve the shading, but i can tweak the colour palette a little bit!
I still have some doubts about the right parameters to use. I would love to have some opinions about it, in order to find the perfect balance!
Example 1 (above is standard super, below is current modification)
Example 3
Blood/Visible damage
I'll than add in some key frames a number of battle scars, some blood in stabbing scenes as well in order to give a slightly more realistic feel to it.
Audio effects
Always found the lack of great battle effects in Super quite disturbing! They are ok-ish, but they don't give a proper feel of the impacts. So i'll try to improve that aspect, by adding some key Z sounds effects. Not in a huge way, just in the key points of the fights.
Well, that's it!
Hopefully later this week i'll upload the first episode of the Serie, wich covers basically the first 3 episodes of the Anime.
Still have some doubts about to where upload it. I fear that it might be taken down on my YouTube Channel, so i may link it trought my website. We'll see!
Good night all!
