I'm now looking for female VA's for Canaya, Monica, Ram and Mina, and also a Bobby. So hopefully I'll have some new members here so I can start recording in the next few weeks.

Agreed, I'd love to have the same VA's thru all 5 episodes, but considering how long it takes to complete an episode if I'm consistant, like 2 months or so, they just end up leaving. Allison will more than likely not return as she's married and had her first baby not long ago and pretty much just dropped out of it all. I'll probably hold auditions to replace her very soon.

yeah, it just takes some motivation to get him doing a recording. He was suppose to do Episode 2 a long time ago but I haven't popped on googletalk to check on him and most of the time he's set on idle. I also need Mariavu to do her recordings for Episode 2, that'll kick a pretty good portion of episode 2 out of the way leaving Nutuku (Gotta work up on that voice to make it better) and extras. Episode 1 needs...Extras, 1 Edgar redoline, and a few missing Sarah lines if I can ever get Allison to reply. But I'm almost tempted to just replacing her completely because she wont be returning to future episodes.

Yeah that's pretty good, but total bummer we can't have sigs on here.

I'm gonna put some focus on zero this month now that frontier is out of the way. Try to fill some spots on extras since I got a wider voice cast that'd love to work on these projects of mine. I also need to fix one of edgars lines it came out real bad. Hammer a few VAs on episode two who should of finished months ago.

http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category...7998474XtYKWc4c Managed to get a veoh upload in, someone pointed out a site called Vimeo, but they wont play the movie, dunno why.

I think Henry still said Michelle, but that could be me. I instructed them to say Michelle. In either case, youtube refuses to put the first 9 minutes up, so I gave up, I'm putting the entire episode up on Veoh and Vimeo.

Well...Mikhail is one of the names he IS called so yeah.....meh. Youtube already took down part 1 : / damn you bandai channel, they also took down another Macross clip of mine, luckily it wasn't from DYRL, I'd of been devastated.

Okay, finished rendering, watched it from start to finish and it seems okay, I have no reserves about it so I'll begin uploading it...it's a 400 meg file with a 720x480 full screen resolution (Sorry, no widescreens on this episode) I'll have links in the morning.

Oh yeah, it's gonna be REALLY late at night when this finishes...I had a few hicups I caught, and then had to fix the ending credits. So it's all rendering now and it'll take 2 hours, then I gotta upload 'em for download.

Frontier will be out tonight, both in Youtube and HJ Split format in the highest quality I can do.

Yeaaaah, it's kind of lame cause SDF Macross is the only show I can rip vocals out of thanks to Anime Eigo. So depending on the quality I want an episode in, can take me a day, or a month, or several months if it's a movie. Episode 1 even as MY version didn't take very long to mix. I think it took under a week. Episode 2 will probably take me a little longer cause there's a lot that's happening in the start of the episode and that's where my attention will mainly focus, the dog fight in the city. It's trying to match a lot of what's going on to be fairly accurate to the original sound. After that the rest is pretty much dialogue, clothes being thrown, and Ozma car, which sadly, I'm not gonna be very accurate on that one. Oh by the way, so far, no episode release. Didn't hear back from Cristina, I'll send her an email tonight to let her know the pressures on.

Pretty much what I had to do. thankfully the ranka/sheryl diamond creavess was on cd. ep1 might be tonight. cristinas got 2 lines left, and the female extra turned in this morning.

Well despite 2 missing voice overs, I watched a mock version of the episode, it's pretty good. I saw a few areas where I need to amp some voices just a bit to make it more audible, but this'll really big good! I am having issues with Episode 2 though, specifically the music score, half the soundtracks in that episode don't even exist, like a secret stash of Yoko Kanno music locked in Kawamori's vault of no public allowance. I tried my best to sub what I could, but episode 2 will not have a lot of music in it, and I'm sure that's gonna happen with a number of episodes.

Patterns help too....if you can create your own.

Okay....so nothing today so far *squirm* so while I'm waiting.....I aaaaaaammm..........mixing episode 2..........!!!!

Not really sure, it could be just for listings...sometimes you'll just see the same costume listed 5 consecutive times when you're scrolling ebay. Here's another version of the sms uniform which to me looks like crap and we've seen here in the cosplay forum before. There's also the Mihoshi Academy uniform Here My biggest issue with cosplay is that you really don't know what you're going to get. 99% of these on ebay are from Hong Kong specifically....and if you want it done by a local group in the US it costs almost 3-5X's more money cause they'll use the best materials they can find. I remember, and I've stated it before, one group wanted hundreds and hundreds of dollars to make my DYRL uniform using the same kind of spandex material that was from Superman's outfit in the Return movie ...3 years ago? While I thought that'd be pretty damn cool, just fatties don't look good in spandex. And I stated that to them, but they still wanted to go with spandex like material though the price wouldn't change! And you can't find patterns to these, nearly any cosplay outfit is made from scratch and it's difficult for parents who are conned into making these costumes to understand that.

COSKINGDOM MACROSS COSPLAY SITE It's ebay mind you, but I'm sure after having my photos for the corrected versions they'll keep it up. If not, they'll let you keep the failure and give you a new one at no charge.

yeah, just needs that god damn zipper. I looked around for Cargo pants, couldn't find any in my size and Walmart was having a HUGE sale on pants of all kinds for like 3 bucks. I guess I can always just look online or make 'em myself, phooey!

Spent half the day pondering that and no, don't think he looks like ben affleck. http://www.drunkduck.com/Tozzer/index.php?p=496480 this place comes to mind when you talk about Ben Affleck. Sadly, wont make it tonight, one VA said tomorrow, the other 2 I dunno. I'm thinking if I want to do the 25 episodes or not...I got scripts for some episodes, buuuut mixing...mmm.....and waiting on lines.....eeh.....always the hardest part.

Took some pictures, not much for appearance though on showing off the jacket right now. I'll try too when the uniform is actually finished...I still need good quality Cargo pants, and boots and a brand new belt. Atleast the patch is right this time.

Okay, so I got the last two samples I'm ever going to show off until the episode is released, which I'm waiting for 1 redo, and 2 Main VA's and 1 Extra and BOOM it's done...hopefully this weekend will be it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HICXawLrwkA this clip contains a good portion of the big battle between SMS Units Ozma and Gilliam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5of2uBfSyU and here you finally get to hear Mippa again as Sheryl Nome, Shudo Ranmaru as Catherine Glass, and Rashinban as Alto Saotome.

NICE, we could really use your skills for Macross Aria man, great lookin art!

See, I don't get why everyone keeps going for Crispin on anything, he's not all mighty to me. And yes you can dream, just stop bringing that dream up here lol do your own production. Either case, Frontier is 90% done...I don't think there's much of anything else I can cram into it to make it anymore better. Just gotta wait for the remaining VA's.
