Really? I thought that scene was actually really good. It was the first M0 scene I had ever mixed originally since it didn't feel like I was ever going to get the episode off the ground. I'll have Lionel be a little more careful on that. His first rendition of Roy was a bit week, but it wasn't horrible, that was way back when i was messing with the TV series before I caught wind of the ADV dub. Okay lemme ask this real quick, if you had to choose a dub style to listen too, which seems better? The cast I got going on right now? Oooooorrrrrr ADV's cast?

I'm slowly working on a DYRL dub, course it wont be like Clash of the Bionoids at all.....hell I'm even having the VA's that are playing Zentradie roles study the language and how it's pronounced so it sounds more accurate to the film.....course, this is a slow slow process.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtfVz1rC_n8 conclusion to the episode with just a quick credit roll at the end of just the voice cast. The full movie will feature all the credits of everyone in Japan who made the episode.

k, doesn't look to be the scenes, it just's the length of the movie......it just doesn't seem to like it so I'm going to have to break it back into pieces and get back some quality....I tested the theory out with the 4 parts I originally divided them into for Youtube, and it synced perfectly where I was having trouble.........hmph....I shall remember this.

Hmmmmmmm I hit a really nasty snag when I was working on the final product tonight.....I think it all revolves around the Nakajima/Roy scene....there's like 4 seconds I think missing of footage....RIGHT after that scene, the audio is WAY off from the raw video I'm using to create a "clean" visual....I basically used an old version of the Nakajima/Roy scene and just plastered it right in the video side....so I'm gonna have to remix all but the audio for that scene to get it timed out better......really pisses me off but it puts the final version a day later again.

She finished her final line, came out great! I'm putting in all the finishing touches right now, should see the final part of the episode out in the next 3-4 hours.

god that clip of "fan Prime" there is getting a little old, I keep seeing it posted up there......I know it's good, but ugh ...everywhere I go....

Here at Dark Heroes we only get our VA's thru the internet, afterall alot of the people who do this sort of work take it very seriously, so when a director asks for redoes cause a line didn't come out right or something, they go and jump right back at it without going "Bah I give up, find someone else" Everyone who plays a role in this sort of gig really enjoy doing it cause it's very difficult to go pro in such a field, it's a competition litterally. Sara's VA doesn't have a lot to say in the series.....only a few key speaking points like where she warns off Shin, argueing with Mao and then being a bit compassiont to Shin at the end........her role greatly increases as the series progresses. I was trying to target that with Allison, try not to let Sara sound too emotional till Episode 2 where Sara begins to worry of all the laws broken as Shin's kind starts to invade the island with their culture and technology....Allison is really geared into giving Sara at that point a real good shot. Allison is also the VA for my DYRL FDP project, though is off to a terribly slow start now for the last 2 years....I just haven't had alot of good chances to get to it. Mao's VA, Lila, she's recovered but her voice is still a lil raspy, but she did finish all but one line I'm having her redo.....if anything I'm being very stuborn on the pronounciation of "Kadun"....keeping it VERY close to the Japanese phrasing....sort of like keeping Macross, Macross, and not Muh cross. If I heard any of my VA's saying it like that I'd whip them till they got it right and coward in fear each time they said it. So currently I'm just waiting on Lila to finish that redo line and I can finish Episode 1.... The Prototype DVD case is finished as well, looks really well with AKT_M's fabulous artwork. I do need to make ONE lil correction near the spine, but other then that the cover is flawless....and the Disc at this time carries the M0 logo with a shot of the VF-0S...however I may change that depending on how things go. Also, the subtitled version has been scrapped....I just don't have the space to release this as well with the English version, afterall, this is a fandub, and if people wanna watch it Subtitled, they can download it, it's only been available for the last 4 years (meaning episode1). So it's close, very very uber close. I wont be offering it to anyone but cast members for a while...so yeah Youtube will be the only way to watch it until I give out the cast members SVCD and DVD case. I had an idea at one point, when the series is finished, on making a DVD box set....where the spine colomn would have a piece of the VF-0, and when you have all 5 volumes you can form the VF-0...however it's just an idea.

Okkkkkkkaaaayyyy......another meaningless, pathetic, hatred of M7 check........NEXT!

Shin's personality in the very beginning seems very flat, so I wanted to just highten that a bit, I don't think i did a very bad job myself, the original VA last year I had picked out was very good, but like I've been saying, finding guys to VA is a very difficult thing, they just don't like to audition, they tend to wanna be scouted....but you can't scout them if you haven't heard them before right? Edgar's VA is a good friend of mine, he worked for US Manga CORP before they laid him off due to bankruptcy 2 months ago....he's still very bummed about that too. He's very good at what he does for me, he has no problem on giving out what ever I ask, be it a minor role to a major warrior type character like Tekkaman Blade. But yeah, the dub isn't completely finished....my Mao VA is currently recovering but should be back to normal any day and sending out her lines. As for the "radio" or "helmet" vocals, those are tough....I gotta give 'em out to other people for the Radio comlink stuff....for the Helmets I improvise by playing the audio clip over my speakers full volume infront of my mic, then I record it. If I got it just right it sounds like talking thru a helmet, but the audio level is so quiet for some reason that I gotta turn up the volume during mixing and sometimes you hear a "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.............." faint sound like that. But if there's music or background going on, you don't notice it at all.

What ever happened to the days when you could go see a movie, and not hear about people battying on things that just don't make sense....I mean....it's a movie...a popcorn flick, a time to kill, a make out session....god I miss those old days, damn you internet and you're ability to let people rant, damn you....

For the moment it'll only be on Youtube....but I am working on a VCD/DVD version I'm just not getting a whole lot of time right now to run some more tests. I'm having trouble making the DVD, no matter what I'm doing, what setting I mess with, the DVD becomes curropted after burning. I'm pretty sure I can make a Super VCD which will keep a good amount of quality to the film, and can easily cover the Fandub version and a Fansubbed version I did. Next week I'm planning on buying some DVD covers that I FINALLY found at work.......they're just hiding in the very back of the store.....which in my opinion is pretty funny.....CD labels in one end of the store, DVD inserts at another end.

Great news, I was talkin to my Mao VA, she's much much better and is gonna start recording her lines again to finish her scenes in a few days.

Likewise, it just doesn't mean much of squat when ya got a shadow of a "giant robot" kickin a rover.

oh finally saw the trailer, god blessyoutube, ummmm it really wasn't much.........I mean we see a shadow of a transformer pounding the crap outta that rover and dats it....

Oh god, this is where we should all tell Shoji "PLEASE stop messing with Starscream, we loved your prime, but keep Starscream loveable"

No kiddin fashion seemed pretty bad. But man Mari in her younger years....god I miss the freakin 80's.

I managed to see a First Look at it, Spacey seemed pretty happy with his performance and was even making a crack "Yeah Lex has got his world domination plans set, and then superman catches on to him pretty quickly......................dammit" I'll see it tomorrow maybe, it was on my list to do today, but my gal and I had to spend some quality time and she can't go to the movies with me so I have to go alone.

I didn't realize till I saw some concept CG on Season 2 where I went "WOW! Hey that Rhinox looks like my BW toy" and sure enough it was....same with cheetor. But Turantulus doesn't have that same head does he? Or does he have the same thing where he can switch from a "mutant" head to a robotic version? I think all I got left to collect is Turantulus and DinoBot and I'll have all the Reissued BW toys....I think I might pass on Primal and Megs reissues cause they look like complete crap.

I dunno......is it just me........or is there something about that picture which just doesn't seem right? Seeing him and the human's around just doesn't wanna focus well with my eyes, like it's a photoshopped picture or something. Anyways, I was at Fredmyers where they had another lil sale and I managed to pick up Rhinox, Cheetor and Waspinator (that's all they had) so I thought meh why not. Sadly Im' not impressed with ANY of these beastwars toys, they just don't make me go "ooooooooooooohhhhhh" compared to some of the newer stuff. Also, why in the hell does Waspinator have 2 heads?

From what my friend Maria told me (cause she fandubs Aquarion) that it's going to be an all new series starting in October.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCwC11gtaWc Part C That's as far as I can go till my Mao VA finishes her final Scene so I can release the final part.

So yeah in other news, found out a guy I sort of VA with at TFCog.net named Daniel Ross has been trying for several weeks to land just an audition with DreamWorks to do some voice overs for Transformers. However the CastingDirector said hell no to his agent over and over again and even hanging up several times. Well Daniel came to us at TFCog and asked if we could shout out to the people working on the casting to atleast give him a shot. Then he just heard recently that they finally agreed. If none of you guys have heard of Daniel Ross, he's actually a very good Ameature Voice Actor who can pull off an AMAZING G1 Starscream ever so similar to Chris Latta.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-_4lrBJcVE Managed to get Part B up, this one features me as Nutuku, which I think was a mistake, and some extra work since I was so short on male extras.

Thank you, I played Shin.
