Quick thing. How late can the reaction videos be sent in. Because I want be able to actually watch the episode until late Saturday till Sunday. So if I send it in then is still alright.

 

A day or two wait is fine. Someone else already asked this in PM and Feld0 says a little delay is okay. Just try and not take too too long.

Who am I sending it to? Where can I upload it? Is a laptops webcam fine? When is the episode released? Does it matter if I accidently tape unnecessary stuff, like starting/stopping the video? Will you edit stuff like that out?

GRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Okay. I've made up my mind. :/ I'm not gonna be part of this. I can only do it with a clear conscience if I know nothing bad is gonna be in it. So, yeah. Unless you can guarantee that, I'm out...

 

Sorry about my fickleness. :P

You're uploading it here once it's made possible later on.

 

Yup.

 

Dunno, we'll see.

 

It'd be better if you not do those things, yeah.

Can I? Can I? Can I, Can I Please? I WANT TO DO THIS SO MUCH. I'd love to be in a reaction video!

This is so cool! yay. I never thought I'd get the chance to be in a reaction video because I'm not big on Youtube.

 

Feel free. I'm posting details relatively soon and then everyone will be doing this at ten AM tomorrow morning when the show premieres.

I'm gonna drop. One of my bros doesn't wanna be on the Internet, so I won't be filming video of us in order to respect his wishes. You can take me off the list.

Eh, why don't you film only yourself then? I mean, he doesn't HAVE to be in it for you to be in it.

 

Also, my webcam can only save in .avi and .wmv, will this be a problem?

If it's all you have, it's going to have to suffice. The chicken says .avi is preferred to .wmv.

 

I'm going to be posting a huge-ass response with all the final info and such regarding this for everyone, shortly.

Alright. .__. I'll figure it out. I'll just not swear for an hour.

 

Wonder how the specs'll be. Might have to borrow a friends decent camera.

 

Break stuff in a violent rage. I'll assure you it's the next best thing~

 

If you're going to borrow a friend's camera... Don't break that in a violent rage for obvious reasons. >_>

We're all throwing this sort of season premier party though (all the cool kids are gonna be there, and by "cool kids" I mean "roomies"), so he's gonna be there. I can't exactly duck out on that.

Yeah i'm definitely keen to give it ago i'll probably record just in case. And if an extra hoof was needed in editing I know my way around after effects pretty darn well.

Ignore this spoiler and read below, I'm just getting everyone's attention :D

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

Everyone who has signed up for this in one way shape or form needs to read this.

 

It is now about nine or so hours or so until the season three premiere airs. I'm now going to be getting into listing every last detail, specification and info you'll need before you will be all set to go and record your footage tommorow morning.

 

Q: "Where can I find season three? I don't have the HUB."

 

A: For those who can't get it on the HUB, our forum has our Synchtube party which will be airing it upon it's premiere at 10 AM EST. we have two seperate Synchtube rooms, because the rooms can only hold so many people. If you can't get into the first one, use the second one.

 

First Room: http://www.synchtube.com/r/mlpforums

 

Second Room: http://www.synchtube.com/r/mlpforums2

 

Q: "When is the footage due?"

 

A: Honestly, most of you guys should be able to make the footage and give to us relatively immediately. However, if you can't, we can wait a day or so for you to give it to us. Don't take that as an excuse to not give it to us immediately if you are capable of doing so, though :P

 

Q: "How should I edit my footage?"

 

A: You don't. The footage you all should be giving us is 100% raw. The editors who will be working on this project are the ones who are doing the only editing.

 

Q: "Video and audio formats? Resolution? Other Technical stuff?"

 

A: Video should be H.264, audio would be preferable as PCM. If that's not possible, then the highest-quality AAC you can get. If AAC is not possible, then the highest-quality MP3 you can get. Audio sample rate should preferably be 48 KHz; bit depth 24 if possible, otherwise 16. Resolution should be the highest your camera can record. If your camera cannot record in H.264, do not convert the video. Video quality should be set simply to the highest setting the camera has.

 

Q: "Are there any questions or topics I should talk about? I don't know what to talk about!"

 

A: First and foremost, don't rush. This is not something you need to feel like you need to tackle full force. Relax, watch the episodes, laugh or comment when appropriate. Aside from your reactions and casual verbal commentary to the episode, you can talk about any of these topics as they pop up, or when you feel like you can give them answers.

 

1) Was this a good episode?

2) Was it worth the long wait?

3) What was your favorite part?

4) What could have been done better?

5) What are your thoughts about this new villain?

 

Also feel free to talk about other things yourself, as well. Always remember to look at the video in the first post of this topic to get an idea for what might be good.

 

Q: "The OP video has a little episode screen. What does that entail for our footage?"

 

A: To make things easier with our editors, it'd be great if everyone could try and maintain a consistent position. If you could be more-ish on the right side (which means on the video you'll appear more on the left side. Your right is the video's left.) that'd be awesome. So for example, if this image was a Youtube video, this is what it'd look like:

 

Posted Image

 

Q: "How do I upload videos? Do I use Youtube?"

 

A: Nope. We will not be relying on Youtube, a third-party service, for our purposes. This entire project will probably a be a forum-only thing. Feld0 and the chicken have worked out a way for users to upload videos to the forum itself, where the editors will go and retrieve them all for editing later on.

 

If you have signed up to provide footage, then this is the form that you will use to upload your video:

 

To add your video file, use the green 'Add Files' button. Then press the blue upload button.

 

Upload videos through this page: http://mlpforums.com...eaction-project

 

Good luck everyone. If you have questions that aren't answered above or need clarification, we'd rather you submit a Support Ticket to the Tech Admins. Please use that instead of posting in here. God knows I can't help you with techy stuff :P

Is it ok if I upload the audio and video separately?

 

Windows Movie maker only records video, so I have to record the audio from Audacity, which will create 2 files. One with the video and one with the audio.

I'll try to stay to that side. It'll depend on how I have to set things up here. Should I be forced to sit on the opposite side, I'll try to flip the video before sending it in.

 

 

I'm going to look more terrible than usual, thanks to no sleep and all this cider. You're going to get the raw, unrefined me. You've been warned.

Can't I just videotape myself? Just asking. My camera only records 29 minutes in HD, and is really crappy on the others. I'll do what I can, but does the format have tobe that format?

I think that will work just fine. The trick, in this case, will definitely be for the editors to merge the two files. Offhand, do you know what type of media files you will be uploading?

So I cleaned my room for this ;)

I can't decide what to do for my hair, so can I film my react three times (mighty morphin' hairstyle)

Also I'll defiantly have it submitted before the end of the day. I'm a girl and I'm bat-crap crazy.

So I'm going to film myself 10000 times before I think it worthy of submission.

D:

but don't worry, something will go in before the end of the day :) thanks for your understanding ^.^ ~

It would be a .wmv file for the video and and .mp3 for the audio, but they can both be converted to another format fairly easily. Either I can convert it, or the editors can convert it.

 

I can also merge the audio and video into one file, but if I do either one of those things, the footage I submit will not be raw.

Hey guys, I've edited my post; if you have a question it's probably something technical related. Please make Support Tickets in the technical category for those, instead of posting them in here. I can't really help you with tech stuff, and it's easier for Feldicorn and Chicken to help you if you use that instead of posting out of their way, in here.

 

Thanks~

Hmm, just make certain that the quality setting is cranked to maximum for both the video and the audio. The uploader will work for large files, so don't worry about file size.

Hey guys.

I really hate to do this but a sudden change of plans has occured and I will not be able to do this. I really hate to back out but I can't. I'm sorry.

 

Also, I still don't have cable or internet from Sandy, so I wouldn't be able to anyway :/

Of course! Everyone who is able to record a reaction video during their first time watching the premiere is welcome to join this project. :)

 

I've added you to the list.
