Well, just warning you ahead of time... it's gonna be a good amount of work. It's not going to be like an AMV. Let me restate for everyone's sake what this job will require...

- Editing the "video" is actually a bit misleading, since most of the work is going to be with audio. The Video Editor's job will be that of properly inserting the multiple types of audio (Dialogue, Sound Effects, and Background Music) into wherever they belong on the already-existant footage.

- Whoever's in charge of Audio will have the job of gathering up the audio, and cleaning it up. I believe Tenken, with his apparently impressive home audio equipment, will be able to do this for us. He'll then provide what he's worked with to the Video Editor, along with some sort of guide or script as to where things go. Obiously, he should try to give it in a manner that will make the video editing go smoothly.

- Also, the Video Editor should be able to put out the "final product" in a good quality. Since this is merely for the enjoyment of those on the board, and probably won't (or shouldn't) end up anywhere like Ou-yayUbe-tay, I'm thinking those of us involved might want to burn it onto DVDs or something in the end. So we should aim to end up with something that is visually good-looking.

Needless to say, doing this for 50-something minutes of footage is going to be a lot of work, which is why I suggested that it should be at least a two-person job. But as this is practically the last thing to be done for the project, everyone who's participated up to that point would try their best to make the Video Editor's job easier.

Me, me, me! I'm practically BEGGING you. Can't you see all the You-tube stuff I've posted? I've even had to use a piano!

Do you know how embarrasing it was to ask a teach-

Oh, never mind.

Yes, I was about to get to you. I take it you'd like to cover the music aspect of it, then, and have QD handle Dialogue and/or SFX?

QuantumDestiny · Post by **QuantumDestiny** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 6:06 pm

OK sounds good. Although, it would probably be easier to work in small sections of video/sound and then just put the whole thing together at the end. I'm assuming capsuleman (I like that name!) will be ripping the footage in parts so it would make it easier to transfer? So maybe I would work with the dialogue and have you guys A-OK it, and then Steven Perry will work with the rest of the audio and eventually we'd work out the kinks?

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 6:15 pm

That sounds good. I hadn't completely worked out a system for that yet, but I figured we'd be splitting up the work somehow and doing it in chunks. Sound effects and Dialogue should probably come before Music, too.

I might help on Video Editing. Nothing too fancy, but I'd just serve as a checker in case QuantumDestiny makes a blunder =P

Wow, this seems pretty cool. I would definatly like to have some part in this. No matter what the position.

KinoFourpaws · Post by **KinoFourpaws** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 6:50 pm

Oh, wow. Five hours away from the computer, and all of these updates! @_@

But, yes! We have video editors now! That is awesome.

(Hey, Kaboom, are auditioners REQUIRED to post their recordings attached to audio? I was thinking of just posting some lines here and there, myself... o_o; )

Oh, and, if any of you haven't gotten your info to me yet, please make sure you do so. I'll be needing you to tell me your email addresses, at least! (Some of you don't even have those on your profiles... ^^; )

So, are the auditions gonna be able to start tomorrow? Gotta know so I'm ready for it...

I assume you mean "video?" Nah, that'd be silly, and a bit too much. Audio alone is more than fine.

KinoFourpaws wrote:So, are the auditions gonna be able to start tomorrow?

I hope so. ...And they're gonna remain open for at least a week, so don't worry; there'll be plenty of time.

Yeah... I meant "video".

Okie-dokie, then! I'll most likely be back home before the thread ends (away from this blasted school work! Hurrah!), so I'll probably be able to punch in a few recordings for my audition as well. Then comes the decision-making. Dun dun dun!

I've got a question about the script and what not.

I seriously hope you're not going to do this, but I need to ask, are you going to try and keep the dialouge "as Japanese as possible"? Like, are you going to include suffixes (Kaio-sama, Gohan-chan, etc, all kinds of weeaboo crap), 'Japanese' Names (Son Goku, Piccolo Daimao, Kuririn, Yamucha), and random thrown in 'fan favourite' japanese words (Baka, nani, all of that ridiculous crap)? Because if you are, seriously, please don't. I've worked on screenplays and ADR before so maybe if I could look at it, I could give a few hinters/pointers on making the script flow a bit better/freely.

I'm sure he does. :3

By the way, Kaboom, I was wondering: is there a limit to how many people we can try to audition for? I was going through the list to see who I could try out as, and there are like, eight (seven if you group the twins together) roles I want to try out for. Not to hog any of them, I mean; just to see if I can play any of them well enough to submit. At this point, I'm trying to figure out which characters my voice range could match...

I'm thinking, if there's any of that, it'll likely be restricted to certain names, like Son Goku. Other than that, I don't really see why we would use the Japanese suffixes (especially since we can switch them out with the proper English words, I think), and I would seriously hope that we don't go into the whole "Baka", "Sugoi", "Nani", etc. word usage. We're not trying to do this all FUNi-style, but I don't think we're going to go all otaku on this, either. You're right, over-usage of these "fan favorite" words does sound quite a bit out of place in an English dub, even fan-made.

However, Kaboom will probably have the last word on that. What's your take, Master Freeza? o_O;

... And do I smell a proposal to help with the script?

Hey! "Baka" is my favorite! So is "yousoy". I'm sure I spelled it wrong but, uh, I think they mean fool and really respectively.. Thanks Gotenks episodes... Anyway, I recall other members who were willing to help with the script like Mr. A and I think Eclipse. Let's just keep in mind that this project has no specific deadline and don't hate me for being the Simon... ^^;

LOLers. Well, again, it depends largely on whether Kaboom sees it fit to keep terms like those in the script. But don't you think it might sound just a tad weird to be listening to the movie in English and then all of a sudden someone just screams "BAKA!"? o_O;

Yes, we musn't forget Shinpan and Eclipse as volunteers to help with the script, either... I'm probably gonna make a note on the list next to their names so we know they have a job besides auditioning. We do need to figure out a way to get everybody who's working on the script together at some point in the future, though. ^^;
