FMP Episode 1 Pre-Release Test Version

Saturday, June 20, 2009 | Posted by OZC | Edit Post
I decided to play around with prep on the first episode, like getting the OP/ED lyrics set up and doing some other styling, and then decided to do most of the episode. In working on it, I found that I need some pre-release feedback.

First up, my desktop only has 2ch speakers, and I don't have my rear speakers hooked up on my media center, so I need some people to test the 6ch audio. I just need confirmation that the surround is working.

Next, I decided to try some new things with the release of FMP. One of these is a semi-logo replacement similar to that of the R1 DVD. There are three other parts of the episode that use the same replacement technique, that being the episode title, the mid-episode bumper logo, and the (quite odd) notice about the story being fictional right after the credits. The only reason I was able to attempt this is because the background of those frames are black, so I was able to cover up the footage using a softsubbing trick. What I'm concerned about is performance. It's only two lines, so I'm not too worried about it, but I'd like people to test it out. Just let me know if you had any slowdown that dropped things out of sync. If you did, please post some basic PC specs for me like CPU and RAM so that I can get an idea of what I'm working with.

Lastly, feedback on the fonts for the location titles and ED credit lyrics. I'm pretty happy with them but I'd like to know how others feel on them, and the positioning on the ED credits (and no, I will not split them top and bottom.) I really like the font used for the OP and for the episode title, so I don't plan to change those. Also, the font used for the show logo is as close as I can get to the R1 logo, but as far as I can tell, its the same font ADV used but they modified theirs a bit.

Because I don't want this going up as a torrent right now, I'm posting it solely on MegaUpload. Please don't redistribute this or post the link anywhere else as it is simply one of my work builds, and doesn't necessarily reflect the final version, although if I find that there are no issues, it will be able to be renamed to the final version as I have completed the subs and chapters.

FMP RE-LICENSED TO FUNIMATION - DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED

Oh, and am I supposed to be getting A-Team vibes from this music? Because good god, there is one song around 8:40 that sounds like an altered version of the A-Team theme, and it's used again for the Next Ep. preview.

Also, Zeta Gundam is being worked on now, I hope to get episode 5 out tomorrow and Episode 6 out on Monday or Tuesday.
