Second phase up!: http://kh-vids.net/threads/the-kh-vids-net-mep-2013-second-phase.141448/
Second PhaseFeel free to shoot any of the coordinators a PC if you need help:Send a message to Guardian Soul |Send a message to StardustSend a message to Plums | Send a message to Ienzo [View the First Phase Thread]Information:What is an MEP?MEP stands for Multi Editor Project. Multiple editors working together on one project. Despite most MEPs usually using one song, one band, or one theme, this project will be more like a worm. Everybody makes a small video and in the end, we'll combine them together to form a whole video to showcase our editors. - Video Sources - Since this is a Kingdom Hearts community, the allowed video sources will be Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and Disney. Other sources unfortunately won't be allowed. - Song Selection -Anything you want it to be but keep it PG-13. - Editing - The editing style all depends on the track. If the track is fast-paced, the editing should reflect that, and likewise with a slow song. Use whatever style suits you best, though. Having different styles in this MEP is what I'm shooting for, as having all the tracks look the same isn't fun or appealing at all. This is a collection of our styles all in one project and I want it to look that way. - Rules -- Several of our lovely staff members, Plums, Ienzo, and Stardust, will be helping me coordinate this project. Their words shall be law! Listen or fear the banhammer or the infraction chisel*shot*- If you join the MEP, I expect you to be active or I will hunt you down. You are to keep everyone involved in the MEP up to date with your progress. Be it a little or a lot. I would like to know where everyone stands on their tracks. So try to keep us updated.- Song changes this year will be limited to TWO CHANGES PER PERSON, so pick your song wisely.- It's not a rule per se, but please keep in mind that this isn't a race: you'll have plenty of time to put your part together, so don't feel like you have to turn in anything right off the bat! We want you guys to turn in parts you're really happy with.- There is no limit on participants and no restriction on who can participate based on post count or join date, so everyone is free to join up!- At the moment, the time limit hasn't been decided on yet. It'll be determined by how many editors will be participating in the project.- No bumpers, watermarks, or anything of the such. They're very distracting and people will be able to find out who made what part just by looking at the description.=== Due DateTBAList of Possible Participants:Damon Salvatore [Cat~]FearlessHayabusacstarstarlight2011studiosNemesisPrimeLeblonkIenzobenjizzAnkokucloud<3darkhorseDLucideffectivemuff monkeyVivid GreenKnuxy64Mixtjackdaniel0Anti ☢ SoraSaitainaThe Hero of Time Greetings, MEP participants! Now that we've got a list of people interested in the project, it's time to move forward with song choices and MEP parts.The second phase is rather simple. We will be working on and collecting the parts of the MEP to be compiled.Here's what we need from you:- A post confirming that you are currently still able to participate- Your song choice- Eventually, your MEP part.Simply posting your song choice can double as a confirmation of participation, but if you haven't decided what song to use yet, you can just post to let us know you're still interested.We will give the people on our master list three days to post a reply here, at which point we will start a PC with any who have not replied to confirm their status. Those who receive the PC will have three more days to reply before we remove them from the list.Even if you posted your song choice or part in the last thread, we ask that you please do it again to keep everything in one place.FAQ [by Guardian Soul]Question - How will I send my part to you?Answer - To send your part in, you'll have to upload to a hosting website. There are many sites to host your file, such as Mediafire for example.Q - What format should my part be in?A - We don't have a specific requirement for formats, as we understand you all use different computers and editing software. We do ask that you save your file in good quality, however. If there is a compatibility or quality problem with your submission, we will let you know.Q - When's the due date?A - At the moment we don't have a set date, but we will let you know as soon as possible.Q - How long is my audio cut allowed to be?A - 1 minute. I will not allow anything over this.Q - Should I render my part in High Definition?A - No. Many participants do not have the software needed to do so. Also, in order for your final product to be in HD, your clips must be in HD to begin with -- KH-Vids.net's clips are currently not recorded in High Definition, so if you are using our clips, you will only decrease the quality of the video since you'll only be upscaling the video. If you export a HD video using Standard Definition clips, the result will not look better than rendering it normally (and will take up a lot of extra space!).Q - Should I fade out my part?A - No. For consistency's sake, it's better for it to be faded if need be while being compiled together. I would also like that everybody add a blank 2 seconds before and after your parts. These blank seconds don't count as part of your video. They're just there to facilitate me editing everything together.Q - Is there a filesize limit?A - Yes, there is. Please keep the size of your files under 100 MBs.Q - What should the framerate of my video be?A - 29.97 This is a problem that I noticed before. There were different framerates being used and as a result of this, some parts were out of sync with their songs because they were either sped up or slowed down. This year I would like everybody to use the same framerate to avoid that problem. You can set what framerate your render will be in most non-linear editors like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere. WMM only exports in either 29.97 or 30 so it shouldn't be a problem since the difference would be so small. If you aren't sure how to set the framerate of your video, just ask and I'll be glad to help.Q - What resolution should my video be?A - If possible, 848x480. If you cannot do this, it will be adjusted when the MEP is compiled.Q - Any other things that you would like to address?A - Interlaced video. Don't render your part as an interlaced video. If you don't know what interlaced video is, it looks like this. Spoiler: Interlaced video It's when those lines appear. Normally footage from games and films aren't like this and are progressive instead so you wouldn't normally have to worry about this. The problem is that some video editors can render footage as interlaced. Please don't do this. Removing interlacing is both a chore and the end result isn't always pretty. Like setting your framerate, if you don't know how to do this, just ask and I'll be glad to help. Participating Members and SongsEgoGrumptor [The Hero of Time] - I Burn by Jeff Williams feat.

Ughhh dude sorry about all that. Sucks. I hope you get it worked out okay :c I haven't run into any problems with the online work yet myself (except my physics prof hasn't put up the homework yet :L) but they ****ed up my I.D. stuff at move-in and sent me all over campus to get it fixed. I still won't be able to get mail for another week or so because I wasn't in their mail system or something. Sighh. Guess there's no such thing as a smooth start.
It's not that I don't like them per se, it's more like those are less tailored to my interests and more core requirements, lol.
In terms of my schedule or how it went? I have a pretty nice first semester tbh. I do have at least one class all week, but I don't have any...
Not preparations anymore, haha. I started classes today (already done though). Went pretty well!
Noooo problemo
It's not about the word fap itself. Just don't go into detail. EDIT: Closed on request.
Beat around the bush, then. General subject matter is okay, explicit discussion is not, sorry.
BUMP: LAST CALL for sign-ups! They will close tomorrow, August 24th, after which we will not take any new participants. Those who signed up will move on to phase two when they close.
Yeah I was flying out and moving in, didn't even have my computer until last night & I had a bunch of mandatory stuff to go to on campus so. No...
uhh? lol
Haven't started yet, I'm just finishing up preparations for leaving haha. But all that is okay so far. What about you?
Yup.
A'ight, let's drop that subject please.
In modern games absolutely, but I was talking about Ninja Gaiden relative to other retro games, which I assume has fairly simple AI. Take your standard Ninja Gaiden enemy, do they have more than a few attacks at their disposal? Are they not either randomly chosen, or chosen based on specific parameters (ex. the player is a certain distance from the enemy, so the enemy executes a certain attack, and perhaps when they are closer the enemy randomly chooses between two different attacks)? My argument was that it's just as unfair to kill a player in DuckTales for not having endured tons of trial and error as it is in Ninja Gaiden for not having enough time to respond to a semi-random attack they haven't seen before. In that respect, I wouldn't call Ninja Gaiden especially better designed, because that still sounds like trial and error to me. Patterns are an important part of any game in the genre, but a well-designed game should give the player a means to react to and learn the pattern without getting killed immediately.
