Sorry guys if I haven't been posting much here on the topic. I have my exams and am spending some more time in studying. I'll get working on a portfolio after classes.[/Friday, 6AM here] Internet's kinda sucky recently so I'll download everyone's samples on a Net cafe later.

As for honorifics, I support that we put in on the translated text whatever name a character says (i.e. When referred to as Yayoi-chan, we put in Yayoi-chan and if referred as Yukipyon, we put in Yukipyon).

As for color of the text, yes, we only need one color for anything outside songs or dialogs where two or more people are talking at once. In songs, we use the character's image color to signify that person with corresponding image color is the one singing. For specifics, I guess Makoto can use black, but maybe Yukiho would use gray or silver. Seeing as both Ritsuko and Miki have greens for image color, we could use darker shades of them for the text (kinda like what Katsuyuki said).

Though that just gave me another thing to talk about: What color do we use in the instance that more than one idol is singing at the same time, singing the same lyrics?

I think we should write down two separate policies for how we should subtitle the anime and how we should subtitle songs this way we have a clear concrete standard set forth. Kinda like our own constitution. Who knows if we do well enough Namco may reconsider putting iM@S in the west. If you all don't mind i would like to draft this constitution.

also your Omoide wo Arigatou sub was nice. Should we make an official youtube page

I think just a solid colour we can all agree on will work just fine as long as it's different from the other colours (or at least the one in the videos).  Rainbow coloured fonts could hurt the eyes XD

I say let's hold off on the youtube page for a bit until we get a bit more organized.

And subbing PV7 guys?  (although we would be missing those SMOKY THRILL lyrics)

Picup, Danketsu video size is 790 x 480 16:9.

As for an official youtube page what will be calling it project-im@s or something else?  Will everybody part of the project have access to the youtube page? I was talking about IRC if we would run into legal issues with Namco because they do after all have copyrights to project im@s.  The only differences between the two is just that dash.

I was just reviewing the Danketsu video and something happened with the text...  This is how it looks in soft format Makoto and normal.

Well, we need something to agree on first...  While back you suggest doing an SP drama about Chihaya and Prodicer magically switched bodies.  

Oh, did we want to keep doing the Karaoke for music videos?  Should we change our current text/colour to something else?  Right now i'm just using Arial for out basic and Comic Sans MS for Karaoke.  Do we want character colors also for Karaoke if we do Karaoke of course.


Okay thanks for that.  I'll be trying to fool around with Danketsu some more sometime tonight.

As the youtube page, Project-im@s Fansub Group?  Something cheesy like that. XD And as for the IRC, the forum as two IRCs (#idolmaster and #project-imas) so I don't think we would run into any legal issues (maybe not use the @ sign as our a to be safe?)

As for the subs...

... I'll see what I can do about it because I noticed the change in subs between soft and hard...

And ... uh, yeah I was kind of jumping the gun there, we'll see what others think about what we should go with.

I like the karaoke for the music videos, so I'm fine with sticking to it.  But we should probably come to a consensus as a group.  As for text, I think it's okay, but in the future we can always play around with it with different videos and the sort.

Edit: What the heck, I'm going to kill you VDub Mod.

We should call ourselves Studio 765.

as for our constitution i'll get to drafting that as soon as possible. and if we decide to have a youtube page i'll destribute the password to everyone.

 I'm still waiting on the contact info for a few people. then i'll send all of said info to everyone in the project

Well, its different when it comes to IRC chat names.  I mean its just a chat and won't effect anything but when you are writing a copyright names on videos, songs, files, and etc then giving them out to people on the internet...  that because a different story.  I could just be paranoid about something happening.

How would you feel if we made two different versions of music videos?  One just plain English and the other with English + karaoke.

That's pretty much the issue with (mostly) everything nowadays.  At least we're not passing around .iso files and stuff, then we could get in really  big trouble...

I'm set for two versions if needed to be.  Soft subs can have two subtitle tracks as well.

Anyways:

Danketsu (Again)

I think I lost quality on it, even if I had 16:9 aspect ratio, it automatically went to 720 x 480, so I resized it to 790 x 480, and there was still black strips on the side (when you full screen it) eventually just went -__-; and changed it to 880 x 480...

QCers (and the rest of the population) take a look at it, subs are fixed now and etc.

I guess, we can take the next couple of days to get settled into a new home (once we get permission?) and possibly IRC, and then decide what to do from there.  on top of that, gives me some time to actually study and clean my computer -- because I went from having 15 (or something) GB left over to a mere 800 MB...

What I should really do is find a raw of iDOLM@STER XENOGLOSSIA and sub a part where they say "Riffa!" of her standing there and replace it with "Miki!" and post the image here.

?

she only refers to herself in third person (isn't that like someone we know...), i don't think anyone actually SAYS HER NAME.

  • I have name suggestions below.
  • Normally, we should, but let's just wait and see......
  • By twisting the meaning of a word, preferably im@S, we could bypass the similarities. But if you're worried about Namco getting in our way, well, they're not exactly stopping every single person who had done what we're about to do. (Though if we do get a page, We'll just not post full episode videos and preferably previews only).


I was just reviewing the Danketsu video and something happened with the text...  This is how it looks in soft format Makoto and normal.

Hmm. Say, Aria, in the Makoto sub. Can you do it that the text is white and the outline is black? And perhaps for other song subs, white text with idol's image color for outline?

We should call ourselves Studio 765.

Well, if you want my suggestions......

Project 765
765 Corp.
765 Inc.
765 Station
765 Squad
765 Avengers *shot*

.....Maybe we shouldn't have "765" in the group name, since that would look like we're associated with Namco.....Maybe twist the meaning of iM@S to fit our group?

I will send Kami a PM then requesting for a forum then if nobody else has done so already.
We can use #idolmaster #project-imas for now since nobody talks in there anyways.
Well I was planning to, but since you want to take the initiative, well ask Yuna too. He usually responds faster. lol *shot*

I don't really use the IRC. A private subforum does sound nice. A place where only the workers can access? XD

I kinda like the sound of that. it sounds very Professional and if we ever decide to work on subs for other anime we could carry the name over.

I like the sound of it too.  Although, we're probably not advanced (yet?), and we don't create the media...  But it still has such a nice ring to it.

And I like Makoto's second one (the grey and black).

The image got updated!

Just something random...  22 songs that I haven't sub!  What are they?

9 02pm
Agent Yoru o Yuku
Aoi Tori
Colorful Days
Do-Dai
First Stage
Futari no Kioku
Here we go!!
I Want
Kamisama no Birthday
Kosmos, Cosmos
Massugu
Me ga Au Toki
Meisou Mind
Ohayou!! Asagohan
Overmaster
Positive!
relations
shiny smile
Start→ Star→
Taiyou no Jealousy
Tonari ni...

Of course i'm not counting iM@S2 songs!
Advanced Media Creation Group does sound nice but I still like Ritsuko's Angels!

Still prefer the bottom one myself.  Although, maybe more people might lean towards the top one (if we go with black inside, idol's colour as the outline)

Are you going to sub those with videos you recorded (or already have?) with that new happauge -grumbles-

and at Ritsuko's Angels, we're worked to the bare bones, and if we dare slack off...

I would like to use high quality videos, so none of the videos I have now really match that well. Rifht nowi will just use whataever i have just to get the timing set.  Most likely when I get my happauge or if somebody else has one they can help as well.  When I get that happauge I need to cover my friend in hugs and kisses for getting this.

Thank you for the new forum avatar! <3

Once im@s 2 comes in, I can rush to my friend's house and use her happauge to record some videos.  Just gotta name whose singing, costumes, and song.  If it's up to me... bad things can happen XD

nah just kidding i'll just go rk with ritsukop and...

chihaya. aweyea.


and your... welcome... boss...?
