I've just been able to work on the first opening, i now have a rough copy finished. I forgot to save the file at some point and my transitions got messed up, i didn't notice this until after rendering o.o But it's fixed now so it will look better in the episode. I also can't figure out what else to do to the "presented by: hawknet computing" at the end, i tried changing the font and position of "presented by:", but something is still off about it. If you guys have any ideas, let me know :3

Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Maybe instead of "Presented by:", have: "Affiliated with" (without the colon). It may also be an idea to match the font, or something along those lines.

I'll definitely try that, do you know what font you used for the logo?

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Mon 18 Jun, 2012 - 4:54 pm ]

Andy font?

Author:  Setsuna [ Tue 19 Jun, 2012 - 3:08 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Tried andy font, still didn't look right. Also tried "Affiliated with", and that actually looked worse T-T Oh well, I'll worry about it after the ending is finished.

Hmmmmm
Try System Font?
Also, when will the filming for the second episode begin?

Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

The font is called Venus Rising, can be gained here

The colour is a full scale gradient per two lines (so 0% and 100% (or four colours at 0%, 49%, 51% and 100% for four lines) with a 2 px black stroke. The colours used are: #4C76FE and #69D9FF.

Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

I can't input color codes in vegas pro titler, and i cant just do it in an image editor because then i wouldn't be able to use the text effects i want. I matched the color the best i could though and it looks much better than it did, tell me what you think.

Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Make both parts vector based text, and we're good. You can greatly see the difference in quality between the vector text, and the pixel image. ^^

Also, you must have been able to input colour somehow (or was it purely from a multiselection interface without any input boxes?). Surely you can convert the hex colour into RGB values using online calculators.

Author:  Setsuna [ Wed 20 Jun, 2012 - 3:16 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Alright i found a way, the colors are now perfect.

However the "vector based text" went right over my head xD I did a quick google search and this seems like something i would have to do in a program like photoshop, but then i would have to export it as an image file and i would lose my text effects.

Author:  Zion Fox [ Wed 20 Jun, 2012 - 4:50 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

No, it just means you type "Presented by Hawknet Computing" into Vegas, instead of using an image.

Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Also I'm having trouble figuring out what to put in the credits... I have the actual video done, but there are 6-8 screens that need to be filled with text. The cast list would only take up a couple screens, music would take up one, then website and server information would take up another. So that leaves at least two D: Any ideas?

Edit: Oh and I'm changing around the cast list a little, I'm removing inactive users and adding more active users in their place, also added watari as a character.

Author:  Hardscope [ Wed 20 Jun, 2012 - 8:03 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

It's great. The only thing I could think of at the end slide is one of those screens where there's all the episodes/trailers and links to them on the screen in annotations...

I like the font. Seems to go with the scenery. Also, nice opening.

Author:  Zion Fox [ Thu 21 Jun, 2012 - 8:14 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

I'm not overly keen on the pixelation. If you want to keep the pixelation try a font that is designed to be pixelated, otherwise add antialiasing to this font. ^^

Author:  Setsuna [ Sat 23 Jun, 2012 - 10:13 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Alright here is the unfinished ending.



I've been trying to finish it but i can't figure out what to put for the last 2 slides. I've exhausted the main characters, and i don't want to use anyone who was introduced in season 2 ._. Any ideas?

Author:  Zion Fox [ Sun 24 Jun, 2012 - 3:57 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Try disclaimers? You can never have enough. Or a "special thanks" page to people who weren't cast members, but helped in the development of sets, or environments?

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Sun 24 Jun, 2012 - 4:48 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

@Zion
What does antialising mean?

Author:  Setsuna [ Sun 24 Jun, 2012 - 4:54 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

I actually meant the background for the last 2 slides, i can't just have text over a black screen T-T Also i forgot to add text to the last slide, but it will probably just be another "presented by hawknet computing" screen. Any ideas for the last 2 backgrounds?

walrus: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/antialiasing.html :3 Also I'd like to point out that the text looks a bit smoother now.

Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Do dramatic shots of the sun setting or something. You can never have too much dramatic scenery. Also I don't ever remember being Naomi Misora o.o Is my memory that bad?

Author:  Setsuna [ Sun 24 Jun, 2012 - 9:20 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Naomi misora is a character i added a couple days ago to balance out the cast list, i also removed inactive users from the list. Your idea is brilliant btw :D I have a feeling the ending will be finished today...

Author:  Setsuna [ Mon 25 Jun, 2012 - 12:40 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Here it is :3



The text placement on the last slide is off a little bit, but i was too lazy to render it again :p

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Mon 25 Jun, 2012 - 5:15 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Ohhh,
Thanks Red, now I know what antialising means ;3
Also, I like this ending A LOT

Author:  Igloosaurus [ Mon 25 Jun, 2012 - 12:25 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

I agree, the drama factor was greatly increased XD

Author:  Zion Fox [ Mon 25 Jun, 2012 - 12:55 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

I like the last two slides. Colour could be boosted a bit on the second to last, but only a little, the sand looks greyscale.

I do like the last slide, especially with the book opening. Maybe you could reskin the book to make it black? :3

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Mon 25 Jun, 2012 - 4:02 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Oh yeah, Zion reminded me of something. You should retexture the base of the enchanting table making it look like a wooden plank. Actually, I can reskin that for you along with making the book black.

Author:  Setsuna [ Mon 25 Jun, 2012 - 8:45 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

That would be great walrus, I'm no good with textures anyway xD

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Tue 26 Jun, 2012 - 6:41 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

So, when I retexture the enchanting book, should I put white symbols on the cover so it looks like the legit death note? Also I'm gonna retexture the item book itself. Anything else I should retexture?

Author:  Setsuna [ Tue 26 Jun, 2012 - 7:00 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Yes definitely put white symbols on the cover. I cant think of anything but the enchantment table and book, but if you have any ideas for other objects let me know :3

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Tue 26 Jun, 2012 - 6:30 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Oh yeah, I just thought of something else. Should I change the bow into a pistol and the arrows into bullets?

Author:  Setsuna [ Tue 26 Jun, 2012 - 8:58 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

If you can, yes :D

Any progress walrus?

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Thu 28 Jun, 2012 - 3:56 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Well, I haven't been able to use my PC much due to family activities and such, however, I have completed making the Death Note and have made the base of the enchanting table look like the default wooden plank. Also, should I change some of the paintings to look like monitors for episodes with the Japanese Police and L involved?

Author:  Setsuna [ Thu 28 Jun, 2012 - 4:07 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

That's fine, i don't have to have them right this second. And any screens will be added later through editing, much like i did for the hawk-note preview.

Author:  Walrus Prince [ Thu 28 Jun, 2012 - 7:01 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Finished making the textures. Sorry, but the enchanting book doesn't have symbols on the cover because I couldn't get them to work. However, the enchanting book is black, the stand looks like the default wooden plank, and the item book has a white title on the cover.

If someone could add symbols to the cover of the enchanting book, I would be very grateful. But for now, this is what we got.

Hey guys, I plan to start production of episode 2 in a few days, i know things have been slow, but the real world has kept me from working on this project. Right now I'm working on episode 1 r2, which will have the updated opening/ending, some new audio, and possibly new visuals for the disclaimer. it should be up in a couple days.

There is one thing i need to do to the opening before adding it to episode 1, in the part where light and L are standing on igloo's castle, I'm not happy with the camera movement, so if a couple of you could help me out on smp for a few minutes, that would be great :3

Author:  Setsuna [ Mon 24 Sep, 2012 - 4:17 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Hawk-Note (Youtube series)

Episode 1 R2 is out, this version has the new opening/ending, removed black frames, shortened kool aid man entry, shortened classroom scene, and improved audio levels. This is basically the way i intended it to look, let me know what you guys think.
