Well, I've been sort of working behind the scenes for a while, and I've (To a point) been released from providing MAD material specifically to certain parties due to the Earthquakes. I might do my day work as a playtester and freelance journalist, but I sort of moonlight as an im@s fan.
I figured I'd mention both, and the special conditions, because I'm used to VERY strict recording rules (At times, it'll take me and the requester a DAY to just settle on shots, and there's usually about 5 reels taken before being posted) so if the information requested seems overkill, I do apologise, since I lecture the people I work with because they DON'T give me enough information, and they complain.
Idolm@ster 2 doesn't have the voice modification, nor can you blue screen (yet) or the ability to erase lyrics from the screen from what I could see yet (Ala im@s L4U).
They DO have camera angles, as well as specific appeal setups (Namely, single, double, triple and quintet) and appeal variations, as well as any appeal transitions, since during bursts, they'll dance out part of it, prior to their special group appeal.
I'm sure there's people out there with good eyes for making nice video.
Yep, I really am used to people being that strict, because I've worked in production environments.
They suggested I open recording services on a freelance basis while they fix up things over there (Which will take they estimate anything between 3 to 6 months, due to rolling blackouts and the like, and you can guess that rendering and the like is difficult when there'll be no power for 3 hours a day and various renders take between 12 and 24 hours.) considering the equipment I sit on and my projected upgrade schedule.
I think they're also hoping to see some serious competition from outside Japan for MAD work by letting me loose for a while.
