Hikuro Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 Hopefully soon Macross Zero Ep1 will be available thru Bit Torrent, course the original file right now is in VSO format and is over 700 megs when unzipped. I'm currently in the process of getting this handed over too my provider I'm also on the way of giving the second part of DYRL to my cast members giving them till Feburary 4th to complete their lines. I should easily have that part mixed SFX/Music wise alot sooner. Like <<<<working on it now. Quote
kung flu Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 WOW WOW WOW! I only just discovered fansubs and now i find fandubs, You guys are totally brilliant and to have undertaken such a incredible task, i commend you all, keep up the great work! Quote
Skullsixx Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 What are your cast members using to record their voices? MP, Quick Time? Just curious. I'm thinking about contributing for ya. Quote
Hikuro Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) They're just using the typical sound recorder that comes with Windows, nothing special. I'm stuck however, I can't seem to find the song (I thought I had it) at the bar scene between Roy, Claudia, Misa and Hikaru. Anyone know the title to it? I've got just about every Macross song I could get my hands on, and I'm not having problems finding the other BGM's in the movie, but this one is just tricky for some damn reason. Otherwise, besides THAT song, and Zentradie foot steps, the segment is ready for vocals. Not bad in just 1 night huh? Crap, I've got everything I need done except that one BGM....I know it's like an acoustic version of My Beautiful Place, but I just can't seem to find it. Anyone got any clues? Edited January 15, 2007 by Hikuro Quote
Hikuro Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 A minor update on production. SFX's are 95% complete, minor touch ups in certain areas have been marked for remixing during final production. All audio is being kept in a safe place just incase. I managed to substitute the acoustic bar version of My Beautiful Place with a Kareoke version which works just as well as the original, you can't even hear the original audio I used for sfx's since I didn't have anything to sound like the phones used in the movie. So far i think my favorite scenes are going to be the ones with huge amount of dialouge, like the Bar scene with Roy being plastered (Should be interesting to see how that turns out) and where the squad wants the juicey details on the 3 days alone with Minmay from Hikaru. (I tried to make myself sound so innocent on that one) Vocals are now being inserted Hikaru and Hayao lines are complete. I'm still waiting on a few for Segment 1, and Segment 2 isn't due till Feburary 4th. I'll try and give you guys a taste once Segment 1 is complete. Quote
promethuem5 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Sounds awesome... can't wait to hear some... wish I could do a Zentradi extra voice or something for you but I don't have a mic.... Quote
Hikuro Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 That's okay......I really wish I had more actors though, it'd really limit on the amount of voices I myself, and a few others would have to do to really make this a big production project. But I didn't get many hits on it, some I did but soon those died. I'm hoping in March, when we hit well into the half way mark I can get a big trailer out.... Quote
Hikuro Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 Great news! Part 1 is nearly complete with just waiting on one person to go. Part 2 though, well that'll be a while. Quote
fansubs2000 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Wow! I don't normally hang out in this neck of the woods, but I'm sure glad I stumbled onto this thread! Amazing Hikaru, awesome work so far! Keep it up bro! Quote
Dobber Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Hikaru, where should we go for the bit torrent site. Will you post a link when this and Macross Zero pt. 1 are finished and/or available? Can't wait to have these!!! I would also be willing to give this a try if you need any more voices. Chris Quote
Hikuro Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Always need more voices espically for the next few segments with all the Zentradies freaking out over the Minmay doll and when the group is captured. I can't give an ETA on when DYRL or M0 will be on BitTorrent, boinger has been gracious enough to help in the distributing if I give him the files. Quote
Hikuro Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Great news, my Roy Fokker VA turned in his lines, haven't been able to check them out cause my email is still loading them *counts*...lil over 120 megs of lines 0_o yeah lol wav format I think. And Allison playing Misa turned in a few lines as well, but got a new job and will have a bit more difficulty doing them. (hence why I'm giving ppl almost a month per segment) and 1 Bridge Bunny is done.....so woot. Quote
Hikuro Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 A few more ppl turned in lines this weekend, just one more week left to do so. While I had nothing else to do I've been working on the DVD cover and was gonna print it out and scan it since I can't remember how to do screen caps on my computer or where it saves. So I instead took a cheap picture using my digicam. Took me 3 hours to do all the font, and editing and picture gathering. I'm also in the works during my bordem periods on a Macross Music Video......any suggestions on the song? it can be any song Macross or none Macross related, English, or Japanese, but it must be a song you are either willing to send me, or can easily be found online. Quote
Hikuro Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 The final stretch for Part2....I'm still waiting on the final set of voices for Part 1 : / blah. Quote
Hikuro Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 My Breetia turned in his lines today, and you know if he can turn in his lines that's a good sign lol he's probably the best Breetia you'll ever hear outside of HG's Robotech voice. Quote
Knight26 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Sounds good, hope to see the finished product soon Quote
scott8539 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 to hikuro,what are you using for the zentraedi voice fx.that is if your going to do it that way. Quote
Hikuro Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 Since I can't seem to find the right vocal effects to do it like in the movie I'm using Cooledit Pro 2.1 for all vocal effects, but for the Zentradie I'm using a Smalldryroom mixed with a Trippyvox. I've tried several ways of doing the echo that's produced in their voices, but nothing sounds right. Also, because certain actors just don't wanna obey the due dates, I'm probably going to look for a new Max Jenius....the actor isn't taking the initative to download even the files now and doesn't seem to care he's going to be already a week late. Quote
scott8539 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 i just tryed it with a vocoder but still sounds like a cylon.but yet i still keep looking!!if i come up with anything ill let you know. Quote
Hikuro Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 I did a lil bit of remixing on the background atmosphere, basically just things that fit in better with what's going on in the background that doesn't sound like the same sfx repeating itself in some areas. I'm diffenetly gonna have too replace my Max Jenius. My Misa VA is nearly done with her lines, she didn't do to bad on this segment...and bridge bunny scene in the cafe is nearly finished.....maaaaaan falling behind, tomorrow is when I start sending out the next wave. Quote
scott8539 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 do you think i could get a small sample of misa talking?i just got a lipsynk program for my 3d misa,this thing takes wav files.on the voice fx if i can find the right carrierwave it should come out a lot better. Quote
Hikuro Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 sure I'll get you something a little later....I might post up a lil sample of how the movie is looking for segment two. Quote
Skullsixx Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I gotta admit, I'm really looking forward to seeing your finished product! Quote
Hikuro Posted February 12, 2007 Author Posted February 12, 2007 You and me both, I'm working really hard, I'm gonna give another week for some ppl because, we all do have lives, and no one is gettin paid for something like that, hah like I could afford them. I'm hammering at one of the VA's right now to get her lines done 0_o shouldn't take so bloody long gaaaaaah she lost the script lol dammit! Oh well, with any luck she'll have the line done in a little bit, then I'll tinker with the mixing again and you guys get to taste a rough draft of the first 13 minutes Quote
Hikuro Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 SFX's, Music, and Vocals have been tightened up, retimed, and remixed...everything sounds more smooth and not missing anything that makes the film seem like a void in spots like the first draft did. Still waiting on vocals. Quote
Hikuro Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 Nothing really new to report right now. I'm still waiting on Claudia, Minmay, Vanessa and Max VA's to turn in lines and I think I'll pretty much be done for the majority of Segment 2, and hell even 1 and I can show that off to you guys. I began retooling for Segment 3 and 4's script which will be sent all together for cast members. I'm going ot need to look for a new Badolza since I haven't seen the original actor in like......2 months. If anyone wants to make some history with a deep powerful voice lemme know. I'm really hoping to get this project done before DYRL's original theater release date so I can retool anything needed and release it late july or early august. Quote
Ultra Leader Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Hey Hikuro! You've got mail! Well...not really mail but a PM! Quote
Hikuro Posted February 19, 2007 Author Posted February 19, 2007 got your message, I got some stuff I can give you, just not right now since I'm not up to meltran extras just yet. Quote
Star Dragon Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Hello, I rarely visit and just noticed your thread. I've been a mod voice actor on occasion and if you are still looking for a male voice here are some samples: "What the??? Look Out! Command, PSI Wing is Attacking Alpha One!" http://upload2.net/page/download/cfgnYBC44...38+006.wav.html "Enemy weapons locking onto my ship... Lots of enemy weapons..." http://upload2.net/page/download/Dy6sOhk7l...38+011.wav.html "Mercenary Fighters closing to attack, Looks like we're in for a fight..." http://upload2.net/page/download/NNXJGBVJE...38+009.wav.html Refuting SOC's orders... http://upload2.net/page/download/jg2ligUMh...rival2.wav.html I hope you find them satisfactory, personally I don't liek my voice or think I sound like anyone but I still get used, I'll check back more intensely for a bit and here's my mail Stardragon1@hotmail.com Quote
Hikuro Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 I can use you for a role, Kamjin's open right now, it's small since he only appears and dies, I got other roles I can use you for too that are Zentradie. Anyways, out of the request of some fans who have been really impressed with my work, I did a lil demo of what I'm working on while I wait for lines Surprise! I've mixed the whole dog fight scene from entering the Earth to the revelation point. The mix is phenomenal if I do say so myself. If anyone has a movie version of this without subtitles, I'd gadly take it so I can maybe work on this on my spare time. Quote
jwinges Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 please say that this will be made available to everyone. I'd buy 2 for sure. Also may I suggest you make a dub of Gunbuster next. Please Quote
Hikuro Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 please say that this will be made available to everyone. I'd buy 2 for sure. Also may I suggest you make a dub of Gunbuster next. Please Well, anyone with high speed connection can download it, I think Boinger is going to distribute it like he's doing with Macross Zero Ep1. DVD versions will more then likely either A) never come or B) only be given to cast members who wish to own a copy...by selling it to ppl I'd be doing a copyright infringment big time, and I already got busted recently from Sunrise doing a G Gundam clip. Hence why that lil demo in my previous post was on Megaupload and not youtube, I'm laying low for a while. As for Gunbusters, I've never seen it, I don't know how available it is movie and OST wise...I try to stick very strickly to the original format of the show/movie. Not too mention, if it's a series it'll more then likely NOT happen. 1 episode can take 1 or 2 months, the only group I know who is being patient with their voices is TFCog.net who do Transformer fandubs...which I'm in the Beast Wars II series as Tasmanian Kid and we haven't had an episode released in 6 months after Ep3.

yellowlightman Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Anyways, out of the request of some fans who have been really impressed with my work, I did a lil demo of what I'm working on while I wait for lines Surprise! Why bother fandubbing something that has, by most accounts, a pretty competent dub? Quote
Hikuro Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Why bother fandubbing something that has, by most accounts, a pretty competent dub?' Some people had been asking me to do the movie version of Macross Plus, this was just to see if I could even mix the movie, I probably wont do it, but this was actually fun to mix though it's not complete.
