Is that clear enough?
Yup, that's much better
So you're the one in charge of the download website.
There was also talk of making a PV to garner more interest, but we don't seem to have anyone who could do that.
(19:57:16) Squidtentacle: I'd say you can go ahead and post it, Nameless
(19:58:59) CAsercan3: but post it!
(19:59:11) CAsercan3: if a miracle happens, it might actually work
There's your permission to post this.
You know what. I just had a great idea for a
PV trailer, and since I'm also having some HD video editing software here, I'm going to do this. It's not sure anyway if I'm going to submit something on the musical side, so this is the best thing I can do for this project at the moment.
Still, I need your support.
The first thing required for the concept is a list of around 5 or 6 songs sure to be included in the album. Short samples of those songs are going to be included in the video, and the visuals are designed around those songs. Like, if it's a Septette arrange, I'll show a (highly image-processed, of course) replay of a lunatic Remilia fight and add a fitting text on top. The submissions at this point cover a range wide enough for a trailer, so if the music judges would start right now, I can start with this.
Then, I'm going to need the artists.
For the background, I imagined any number of
random locations of Gensokyo. Just draw whatever you like (
although I'd like to see one of those bizarre psychedelic PC-98 backgrounds, especially from HRtP). Those don't have to be of particularly high detail level, since most of the screen is obscured with other stuff anyway, but make sure it's colored and in 16:9 aspect ratio.
Then, one drawing fitting each single song included in the video. This can be as simple as just a picture of the character of the theme playing, but I'll take anything at this point. This can be in any aspect ratio you like to draw it in (although portrait would be preferred). If it's in a non-rectangular shape, please take care that the background is clean enough (PNG alpha transparency would be even better).
Most of the artists do have pretty fitting stuff in their individual threads already. Just submit it when the time comes. It's not required to draw new stuff for this, but if you do, submit it in the album submission thread to include it in the judging.Optionally, if one likes to draw fancy text, I may include this as well instead of some fonts. However, PNG format with alpha transparency will be recommended for this.
Also, since we want to reach Japanese people, someone to translate the little pieces of onscreen text from English into Japanese would also be helpful.
So, to sum up:
- Music judges need to give a list of like 5 or 6 tracks sure to be included in order for everything to start
- Artists
draw submit a small number of random Gensokyo locations as backgrounds, not that high detail level, 16:9 aspect ratio
- Artists
draw submit small image for every one of the tracks in the video
- (Optional) Someone draws fancy text, else I'm using stock fonts
- (Optional) Someone translates onscreen text into Japanese
For the artists, please reply immediately if you are interested in contributing. I will create a new thread and regularly update it if I can get enough participation.
Edit: The background artists may start right now, since those will be independent of the songs
