| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 01:44 AM | ||
| This is the deal: I would love to have the http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5HYD8MD0 of Initial D with a dub-over made by some of the wonderful members of this forums. After hearing the songs by the fabulous group formed by Nomake, Pikachu, Ryosuke, Jake and Yosuke, (YoNoPiJaRyo for short) I think we could really do something epic. Character List: Yuuichi Tachibana - Pikachu Fragger Itsuki Takeuchi - Alastair Takumi Fujiwara - SgtXDNX Natsuki Mogi - Nomake Wan Papa - Alastair Koichiro Iketani - Ryosuke63 Bunta Fujiwara - Saint Kenji - JZX100 Keisuke Takahashi - Tesso Hiroshi Fumihiro - Kiroshino Ryosuke Takahashi - Ayako Watanabe Narrator - Yosuke Random voices (Akina Speed Stars and Red Suns members) - FC3SSavannaIII Script: Going by what the poll is currently saying, the majority wants a crack-filled script so that's what we're going to do. Each of the actors can help write up the script including as many funnies as they want. Once the script is ready, we'll need to record the lines maybe using Skype for when there are interactions between the characters. Only then we'll work on the editing/re-encoding, et al. The script will be kept a secret from anyone not directly involved, this way it'd be a surprise for everyone when they see the finished product. Distribution: The final product might also be posted on streaming sites such as YouTube but, it should get posted here first so that IDWF members can see it before anyone else. And yes, the "premiere" will be done through the TV stream, for those who were curious about it! Media:
Future Projects: As per people who didn't get the chance to be part of this, we can always dub other episodes. This is just the pilot, many epic things can happen from now on! |

| I'm so in. If we don't get any real girls to take care of Natsuki's part, I'd be more than happy to offer my FAAAAAABULOUS services. Otherwise shiz, I'd love a lulzy character like Kenji, Itsuki or Iketani. As for SFX, ahahaha. I bet HashiriyaR32 could dig up SFX for every single car in the show ever if need be. |
| Posted by: Pikachu_Fragger Nov 14 2009, 01:47 AM |
| You don't need to ask me, I'm down for it as well. XD As for who to voice, well, I could be the gas station manager. That man's hillarious. |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 14 2009, 01:51 AM | ||
His name is "Yuuichi," which I find to be highly ironic considering some of your side-plots. I can put some clips of myself trying out some lines of characters together. Heck, might even do that now. |
| Posted by: kou yuuzhen Nov 14 2009, 02:04 AM |
| i can't wait to hear the voice of "Takahashi Ryosuke" looking forward to it only the first episode? |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 02:16 AM | ||
Kou-chan, I thought we could start with that one but it's not a limit.... That said, do you want to take part in this? Other than Natsuki, I think that there were a few Ryosuke-groupies who could be your cup of tea.  |
| Posted by: Godot Nov 14 2009, 02:22 AM |
| Guess Ill be playing the RedSuns Racers or the spectators since they all sound somewhat the same. |
| Posted by: SgtXDNX Nov 14 2009, 03:02 AM |
| Well, I'm definitely in for this. Any male voice is fine, I guess. |
| Posted by: kou yuuzhen Nov 14 2009, 03:40 AM | ||
huhu thanks for asking, but no i can't speak english  as for the female redsuns fans who just scream "ryosuke-sama!!!!!!" in the background, that would suit me more, but that doesn't come until episode 3 |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 14 2009, 04:56 AM |
| Sounds nice and I'd love to be a part of it (I admire Bunta and Toshiya). But too bad, my Internet speed is too embarrassing. Lol. Anyway, exactly how is that going to be done? Any remuneration of any sort as well? |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 14 2009, 04:59 AM | ||
Your internet speed has nothing to do with it, really. You'd get a script with lines and record yourself saying them, then send the recordings in to be dubbed into the video.  |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 14 2009, 05:31 AM |
Cool, let's do it.  When?Edit: If I'm 'hired', that is...  I had the impression that it's done over the radio, or something like that which requires streaming (considering this thread being in Broadcast section). |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 06:18 AM |
| Saint, you joking about the remuneration right? This is done for the Love of Bunta and for the lulz that will be had because, I should have mentioned this earlier, the dub-over is probably going to be full of crack unless everyone involved prefer otherwise. I think it's a lot more fun of we can come up with our own script instead of repeating the original dialog and for this, I'm honestly hoping Tesso will want to give us a hand, not to mention the fact that, I think, he'd be an awesome Keisuke. Anyway, I've edited the first post with the names of the speaking characters, pick the one you want to play so we can start completing the cast. Once we have that and the script, like Nomake said, the "actors" will need to record themselves saying the lines and send them over to the person who will be in charge of putting the sound together so that it can be encoded with the video. If Hashi can help with the SFX that would be awesome too. Alternatively, I would like to know if it's at all possible to somehow keep the soundtrack while removing the voices. To everyone who's up for it: huge thanks!!  |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 14 2009, 06:41 AM |
| ^ Of course I was. Everything's supposed to be free on the Internet. Lol. Let's do it. I want Bunta; can I? Lol. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 06:55 AM | ||
Funny, me too. j/k Added you and a few others. They're of course not final so we can shuffle things around as needed. In Bunta's words: 'I'm getting excited about this!'  |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 14 2009, 06:59 AM |
| f**k YEAH I'M IN! Iketani plzthnx. ^^ |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 07:03 AM |
| ^ Done To the YoNoPiJaRyo members: how doable would it be to do a karaoke version of the opening? I know it's got a girl singing but that has never been a real problem, correct? |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 14 2009, 07:07 AM | ||
I could do it all!! I know that song by heart! I've listened to it so many times it's scary (I don't even know Japanese) XD |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 07:11 AM |
Puurrrfect!  I'll be on IRC for the next couple of hours in case anyone wants to discuss things. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 14 2009, 07:14 AM | ||
Oh shoot that's right. I don't have the kareoke, so if someone can give me a link to DL the single, that'd be great! |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 07:40 AM |
| Since I fail and I don't have the song myself, I posted a request at the Music Section thread for m.o.v.e. Hopefully someone will want to help us out there! |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Nov 14 2009, 07:43 AM |
Sounds like an interesting project. To everyone who is/becomes involved in this, best of luck.  If you ever become really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really desperate for another male voice, let me know. I've always wanted to try something like this, but I probably have the dumbest sounding voice out of all of you, especially when recorded. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 07:48 AM |
| Kiro-kun, would you be really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really interested and play either Kenji or Fumihiro? They don't really have heaps of lines in that episode so you should be fine. So, want me to update the cast list? (y/y?) |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Nov 14 2009, 07:52 AM |
| Seems like I'll have to rewatch Initial D. I don't remember who these characters are. XD Put me down for Hiroshi Fumihiro for now 'cause he drives a MR2.  |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 08:31 AM |
| Done. Minna-san, we still need Itsuki, Kenji and Ryosuke. Who is up for it? Also, here's the actual episode, in Japanese with Eng Subs: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5HYD8MD0 |
| Posted by: kou yuuzhen Nov 14 2009, 08:53 AM |
| wow this sure is getting interesting. i'm surprised that nobody's gonna be ryosuke...... yet. i thought he's one of the most popular characters to be voiced when everything is done will it be broadcasted? |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 14 2009, 08:57 AM | ||
I'd be him, but he doesn't really have any lines in that ep IIRC. |
| Posted by: HashiriyaR32 Nov 14 2009, 08:58 AM |
| If Hashi can help with the SFX that would be awesome too Sorry guys, but I don't exactly have the resources nor the audio mixing skills to work on that part. I'll try if I can, but I'll let my college midterms pass before I think about it. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 09:43 AM | ||
He does! It's when he claims that the Red Suns will become a Kanto no densetsu! I think it's one of the coolest, most expressive lines he has in the whole series..... And, Hashi, don't worry about it, I'm sure we can somehow keep the soundtrack. We're all busy so we don't want this to take too much time from our schedules! That said, I'm off to *finish* making dinner. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 14 2009, 10:15 AM |
| If no one else can do it, I can be the producer. Just don't expect much from Windows Movie Maker... If NO ONE ELSE... And Sanae, that's not good enough. I want to tell Takumi to drink gasoline demmit! |
| Posted by: kou yuuzhen Nov 14 2009, 10:29 AM | ||
ahh... ryosuke-sama......  and yes sanae's right. ryosuke didn't have much scenes in the first episode, but he can kill with just one sentence |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 14 2009, 10:46 AM |
| Damn, I wish my voice wasn't so deep and odd... Otherwise, I'd do it. |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 14 2009, 11:07 AM |
| I guess I could give Ryosuke a try. I have a deep voice, so I could play the part of Ryosukes character. So count me in. If all fails though, any other characters available besides the ones mentioned? |
| Posted by: Alastair Nov 14 2009, 11:19 AM |
| i want to be a part of this epic project, i have no idea who i want to voice but anything is fine and a iggy is fine to |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 11:35 AM |
| @ Ayako: I'm booking you for Ryosuke then. @ JZX100: You could do Kenji, he doesn't really have that many lines. @ Alastair: Asides from the fact that several people want you to play Papa, you could also do Itsuki if you feel like it. Regarding voices, I don't know what the others think but, in my opinion it's not so much whether your voice sounds like the original but, rather, what your acting abilities are like, remember that the lines have to be acted, not merely read out loud. That also means being able to modulate your voice a little so it sounds different than usual. Regarding the editing, encoding, et al, I think we could take care of that later. First of all, we need a script, then, everyone will definitely need sometime to practice a bit and record their lines. Then we'll work on the actual video which, hopefully will be uploaded here and/or streaming sites. For now, I'll just complete the tentative cast. |
| Posted by: Alastair Nov 14 2009, 11:45 AM | ||
wait..papa? who is papa?? |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 14 2009, 11:55 AM | ||
Papa is the old dude in the Benz that has been tapping Natsukis booty before Takumi even showed up |
| Posted by: Alastair Nov 14 2009, 12:10 PM | ||
alright so i get to be 2 characters. the annoyance and the pimp im cool with this. |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 14 2009, 12:33 PM |
| Sanae, can you provide me the script early enough? My college has a media center with a clear mike I could try to use. |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 14 2009, 12:55 PM |
| Come to think of it, should the dubs be more close related to the original, or be done in a hilarious matter? |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 14 2009, 01:04 PM |
| I think we should make it a poll. By the end of the week we'll see what we should do, but keep in mind a funny script would take time to write. https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=37944&hl=abridged+manga |
| Posted by: Alex Nov 14 2009, 01:31 PM |
| Oh my god, this sounds like so much fun. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 01:34 PM |
| Okay guys, here's the ORIGINAL script taken from the subtitle file. I've kept the timings of each sentence so we know how long we need to speak without being out of synch as well as added the name of the person speaking so that we know exactly how many lines each character has. I'll try and get a poll added so we know what the people want (original script vs funny one) like Ryo-chan said, a crack-filled one will take time to write up so it's just a matter of how fast we want to get this done vs the amount of lulz we want to have. @ Alastair, blame the bunch of guys who were at the chat during Nom's show, the instant I suggested doing this, it was an unanimous opinion that you would make the perfect Papa. If I were you, I'd take it as a compliment so that you don't lose sleep over it. |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 14 2009, 01:58 PM |
| Now that Tessou's on-board, he'll probably be willing to write up a lulz script for us. I'm totally in on having it re-written. Al: You as Papa came up after I suggested myself as Natsuki. Apparently the chat agrees. |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 14 2009, 02:01 PM | ||
Only three lines? I can do it.Now I gotta go practice to find the best tone and such.  If only Ashley is still here. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 02:08 PM |
| Even though I'm with Nomake and would prefer a crack-filled script, I've added a poll so that the people can decide what they want so, go and vote, minna-san! |
| Posted by: Möbius Nov 14 2009, 02:18 PM |
| A poll is a good idea, let's people choose what they would like. But there is no "both"option? ( j/k ) |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 14 2009, 02:27 PM |
| Well, I guess we could have an "Original Eng Lulz" option with people reading the actual lines in a weird/cracked up way for the lulz. |
| Posted by: Pendulum Nov 14 2009, 03:39 PM | ||
If you're planning on doing a parody, it better be 1000000000000000000x better than this...
^FAIL. Liked the script, btw. |
| Posted by: SgtXDNX Nov 14 2009, 04:31 PM |
| Well, I guess I could do it. Lemme know when the script's done. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Nov 14 2009, 04:37 PM |
| Interesting, how is this coming along? Any open spots? |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 14 2009, 04:48 PM | ||
Sanae already put the original script in her last post. So just take it from there and re-do it in a lulz way BOZZY: Read 1st post. All spots are taken, though two are still pending. |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Nov 14 2009, 04:56 PM |
| Voted for lulz, though I'm fine either way. Better be better than the https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=39633&view=findpost&p=1118957 though. I'm sure we can do it. |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 14 2009, 05:04 PM |
| I voted lulz, because I've no idea how the original script can be spoken in a lulzy way. Lol. Unless we make funny accents/pronunciations. Btw what format of recording is required? Mp3, wav, aac, or we can use whatever format convenient to us, since I believe most guys here are expert in converting things anyway. |
| Posted by: Godot Nov 14 2009, 05:08 PM |
| Hmmm I guess I needa get a mic and the lines as soon as I can. Perry as Bunta woulda been funny. |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 14 2009, 05:10 PM |
| That's mine, but I'll make way for the man if he really wants it. |
| Posted by: Godot Nov 14 2009, 05:19 PM |
| Oh. I know you're playing Bunta, Saint. Im just saying if Perry were to be in the dub, He would be Bunta. Thats all, not taking the spotlight from you. |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 14 2009, 05:29 PM |
| I'm cool about it, dude. Don't worry. I don't have experience about it, so I don't know if I can be good too. Like William Hung once said, 'I've no professional training.' |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 14 2009, 06:01 PM |
| Holy shit, this thread moved fast while I was plugging away on Live. I would be honored to take the role of Keisuke, owing to the fact that this is a totally non-serious dub and I can play with his character. Also, I highly recommend doing what Initial D'fective did by adding music to the drivers' radios. I already have some ideas for what Keisuke will listen to. |
| Posted by: Pendulum Nov 14 2009, 06:04 PM |
| Is there going to be a YouTube page, in the future? |
| Posted by: Alastair Nov 14 2009, 06:07 PM |
| I know what song should be put in papa and natsuki's car *insert in super thanks for asking here* |
| Posted by: Alex Nov 14 2009, 06:23 PM |
| I wonder if/wish something in the tune of DBZ Abridged could be done. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 14 2009, 06:43 PM | ||||
What?! I love "Stage 5"! Check out part 2! |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 14 2009, 08:45 PM |
| Just to fill my free time at the moment. From the subtitles Sanae provided, only Bunta's lines were changed. Bracketed words were the original ones. ~~Edit: Removed due to spoiler. |
| Posted by: Rudy Nov 14 2009, 08:56 PM |
| Grr. I wanna do Takumi. >.< |
| Posted by: Godot Nov 14 2009, 10:49 PM |
| But Wait Sanae. Theres no Narrator! |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 14 2009, 10:50 PM |
| Oh shit, who is going to be the narrator!? I wonder if I should do the narration for the lulz. |
| Posted by: Yosuke Nov 14 2009, 11:01 PM |
| I see my name mentioned here, so I figured I'd say I still express interest and all. |
| Posted by: Godot Nov 14 2009, 11:02 PM |
| Since Sanae wrote it up, She should do it! |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 14 2009, 11:05 PM | ||
Sweet, we should do a duet. I'll take the female parts. You do the rap dude. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 14 2009, 11:33 PM | ||
Yes, yes, that's all fine and dandy but we need a kareoke!! |
| Posted by: kou yuuzhen Nov 15 2009, 12:21 AM | ||
i voted for the original eng subs, til i saw this i thought the part where ryosuke called nakazato a "dirty b*stard" was hilarious, but the conversation in ryosuke's room (with keisuke) was epic |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 15 2009, 12:24 AM | ||
Somehow, I feel I should have expected this... |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 02:12 AM | ||
Yosuke: I know it's just a few lines but, would you do the Narrator? Jake: You'll be an awesome Takumi, I just know it. Thanks! Tesso: I like the music insert idea and thanks for accepting the role of Keisuke. Regarding the script, I think most people (including myself) would like to see it done in a crack-filled sort of way. That said, can we count on you (Tesso) to help with it? If so, how fast do you think you could come up with a first draft? And do you want anyone to help/provide with ideas? Saint's one was funny. PS: I'm seriously looking forward to Nomake x Ryo-chan's duet! PS2: I've edited the first post to answer all the questions and add more info. |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 15 2009, 02:42 AM |
| Tesso is my younger brother in the anime.... I only get to say a few lines in this episode, so I better make it lulz worthy |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 15 2009, 04:17 AM |
| The narrator is Fumihiro, so whoever plays that role should be the "narrator" as well. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 04:26 AM |
| Oh....I wanted to have Yosuke play him...we don't really need to stick to the seiyuu's original distribution, do we? |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 15 2009, 04:27 AM |
| Probably not. This is OUR version, after all. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 04:50 AM |
| Cool. Moving on to the script, in order to speed things up and since Tesso is a very busy man, I think it's best if everyone who is involved in this project gets to contribute with their own ideas. For this purpose, here's the list of the IDW Official Dub Over Project Team: Pikachu Fragger (Yuuichi) Alastair (Itsuki AND Papa) SgtXDNX (Takumi) Nomake Wan (Natsuki) Ryosuke63 (Iketani) Saint (Bunta) JZX100 (Kenji) Tesso (Keisuke) Kiroshino (Fumihiro) Ayako Watanabe (Ryosuke) Yosuke (Narrator) FC3SSavannaIII (Random Voices) Sanae (Team's Moral Supporter) Now, what we should do is, from the script you can ALSO find in this post, pick your own lines and tweak them around to make them funny/insane/whatever. Don't worry though, if you need help/ideas, get in touch with one of the other members, I'm sure we'll all be happy to help. Also, if you have suggestions for any of the characters you aren't playing, let the member who is playing him/her know so that he can tell you what he thinks/be forever grateful for your contribution. Once we have a draft put together, we should meet up in AIM or IRC to talk about how to get this done. Skype will also be helpful to record conversations so they flow more naturally. At any rate, from now on, any script issues should be kept within the group as to not spoil the surprise for everyone else, okay? PM any of the members if you guys need an opinion on what you've come up with, ok? |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 15 2009, 05:14 AM |
| Luckily, Itsuki, Papa and Takumi are the only people interacting with Natsuki, so I just gotta drag Jake and Al into a Skype chat and bang out some lines. WOOHOO! This should be fun. |
| Posted by: Yosuke Nov 15 2009, 05:36 AM |
| I don't mind being the narrator, really. I just want to be part of this in some way xD |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 06:23 AM |
| Thanks Yosuke, you will definitely be a part of this. To Nomake and Ryo-chan: using Audacity, I managed to remove the vocals from the opening theme: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4B17MT57. It's not perfect but it can be used as a base. Also, I've applied the same process to the actual episode's soundtrack and it works quite well, the voices are mostly gone and most of the SFX are still there. Unfortunately, it also removes the vocals in the two insert songs. If anyone here knows any trick on how to do this better, please let me know! I'll be posting the links to the actual Japanese audio track from the entire episode plus the one where I removed the voices and the audio-less video in the https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=39633# so people can start playing around with them to see what's the best solution for when we'll need to do the final encoding. |
| Posted by: HashiriyaR32 Nov 15 2009, 06:24 AM |
| Sanae, I am very interested in knowing how you removed the vocals from the audio tracks. |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 15 2009, 06:26 AM |
My IP is shared, so I can't use Megaupload...  But I'll download the first episode elsewhere using torrent. I have the complete VCD set (1st to 3rd Stage), but it's not with me right now. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 06:30 AM | ||
Hashi: Import your stereo file into Audacity. Open the track menu (click the arrow next to the track title), and choose “Split Stereo Track.” Select the lower track (the right channel) by clicking it in the area around the mute/solo buttons. Choose “Invert” from the Effects menu. Using the track menus, change each track to “Mono.” Select All and Export as WAV or MP3 Saint: You can now find SendSpace mirrors on the first post. I hope they work for you! |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Nov 15 2009, 06:50 AM |
| Before I begin, I'd like to know what theme we're writing about: racing, sexual anxiety, etc.? For my one scene, I need Keisuke (Tesso) and Iketani (Ryosuke63). Let me know what you guys want to "discuss" during this scene via PM: Iketani - We've got visitors. - 00:13:15,888 --> 00:13:16,912 Iketani - <i>The Red Suns? </i> - 00:13:17,556 --> 00:13:20,047 Iketani - <i>Are they the Red Suns, </i> - <i>the fastest drivers in Akagi? </i> - 00:13:53,959 --> 00:13:57,486 Keisuke - We're the members - of the Akagi Red Suns Team. - 00:13:58,297 --> 00:14:00,197 Keisuke - I don't want to be rude but... - 00:14:00,599 --> 00:14:05,195 Keisuke - Who's the fastest team, or driver, - on this mountain?

Thanks a lot, I'll try it. I really appreciate it. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 07:37 AM |
| No probs. To the Team: Not that I need to say this but, now we have the cast and the necessary media, I trust you'll follow Kiroshino's example and coordinate with each other so that we can make this truly epic. As for me, if there's anything else I can do, please let me know. I'll be happy to help as much as I can. |
| Posted by: Rudy Nov 15 2009, 09:12 AM |
| Oh this sucks. I wasn't aware of the project until it was way too late. I really wanted a part of it. :/ |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 15 2009, 09:37 AM | ||
There'll be other episodes with different characters I'm sure. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 09:44 AM | ||
Dori:
The Team is just the list of people who will provide their voices and help re-writing the script for the first episode. It's not a closed membership since, if we do more episodes, we'll need new people to do the other characters. Also, if you have any encoding/audio mixing skills, you're more than welcome to help. |
| Posted by: Alastair Nov 15 2009, 11:04 AM | ||
i like this idea right here |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 15 2009, 12:40 PM |
| Probably going to have to work from scratch on the audio if we want SFX and our own music. The voiceless track is fantastic, no doubt, but if we go that way it should be to make a serious dub on top of the funny one. Two audio tracks, anyone? Funny + Serious...? |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 15 2009, 12:50 PM |
| This is going to be fun as hell. I need to work on Ryosukes original and only line in this episode and see if I can flick it and toy with it around to something more... interesting and lulz. |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 15 2009, 12:58 PM |
He has to have some sort of crazy epic line at that point where he gets all serious anger face. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 15 2009, 02:13 PM | ||
The link is down! Also, ROFL, Tessou!!  |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 02:20 PM | ||
Weird...it works for me. Anyway, here's a sendspace http://www.sendspace.com/file/rcol1u Tesso: Two tracks would be good. We could encode the video as a mkv or ogm to have both tracks so people can select whichever they want to hear. It's entirely up to you though, you're the artists here! |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 15 2009, 02:26 PM | ||
Oh thanks! I dunno, I can still hear the voices a bit. I think just singing over the original would do, since this version removes the beat. Thanks for trying this though! I've used that technique many times before. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 02:29 PM |
| No worries! Like I said, it's far from perfect...unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a proper instrumental version. At any rate, I'll look forward to listening to you two sing. It'll be "Around the World - ft. Natsuki&Iketani" |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 15 2009, 03:09 PM |
| No worries about the lack of a proper instrumental version of the title track. DJ Tessou took the time to throw the original tv length track into audacity and work his magic to make a karaoke mix. http://www.sendspace.com/file/js1hlx |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 15 2009, 03:22 PM | ||
YOU ARE A HERO. Will work on the vocals later tonight! |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 03:58 PM |
| This is perfect Tesso! If we apply the same tweaks to the actual audio track I think we'd have the perfect base for the "serious" version of the episode. For the parody one we can just do what you suggested earlier and work with the audio-less video to create our own soundtrack. |
| Posted by: brian mayhem Nov 15 2009, 04:05 PM |
| I was just thinking and I came up with an idea. The finished project should be broadcasted on the TV stream, aye? |
| Posted by: Möbius Nov 15 2009, 04:10 PM | ||
I thought that was a given? But yes, it should be if it's not. |
| Posted by: Perry Nov 15 2009, 04:12 PM |
| I can't wait for more progress on this project. It sounds like a little fun group project that we all have done in high school. |
| Posted by: brian mayhem Nov 15 2009, 04:15 PM | ||
It's our gift to you. Just won't be an apple. More of a mindfu*k when you watch it, I suppose. |
| Posted by: PandaApex Nov 15 2009, 04:25 PM | ||
... KAITO 1412 uses hacks on soundtrack Soundtrack obeys! Anyways, GL with the project. Its going to be funny/unusual/crazy, to say the least. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 15 2009, 05:13 PM | ||
It was a given. I thought of showing it on IDW TV stream first, then post it here and on YouTube, et. al. sometime after that because I think IDWF members should see it before anyone else does. Now we only need to get the recordings/re-writes started but, I suspect that won't take too long. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 15 2009, 05:19 PM |
| Are we switching the soundtrack? I can kareoke the eurobeat insert songs if we're gonna keep them. |
| Posted by: Alastair Nov 15 2009, 05:36 PM | ||
I think that we should use toe original eurobeat song's it would be more true to the original series. |

I'm unsure what everybody's sense of humor is like, so I called it fail. I saw part 2. It's okay. I rate it 4 of 10. @ https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=39633&view=findpost&p=1118993 Man, if that ever happened to Initial D, I'll die. TFS= genius. Watched Bardock: Abridged? |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 15 2009, 06:35 PM |
| Anybody telling me what program to use for recording for a occasion such as this? I'm on a shitty laptop that's pissing me off but still requires a few things to make it ready for my everyday needs and use |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 15 2009, 07:13 PM |
| Uh... you guys do realize there was an instrumental of AROUND THE WORLD featured on the Initial D Vocal Album, right? Track 3? Yes, it has to be trimmed down to be 1:30 like the intro, but that should be WAY easier than editing out vocals, am I right? EDIT: Link removed because I just realized that Tessou did EXACTLY what I just suggested to create his file, therefore it's superior. f**k YEAR. PROTIP: I have every Initial D CD ever. For serious. EDIT: Ayako, I recommend http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ since it's free. The only thing you have to be careful about is that by default, it's set to record in mono. If you can't figure out how to set it to Stereo, let one of us know and we can help you out. EDIT EDIT: I think that we should keep the OP (for the lulz), but the insert songs can be whatever we want. For instance, there should DEFINITELY be lulzy gangster rap in Papa's Benz. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU CALL ME BIG PA-PA etc. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 15 2009, 07:43 PM | ||
Don't wanna derail the thread, but do you mean you physically own every ID CD ever?!  |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 15 2009, 08:05 PM | ||
Just downloaded it. Thanks Don. Will begin trying it out in a few and then begin recording |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 15 2009, 08:39 PM | ||
Shh. That's for me to know and for you to be in awe of. EDIT: Just tried to edit some lines in the Papa/Natsuki scene and came across something I should've realized earlier. The subtitle script is not going to be easy to work with, since the English translations aren't close to the actual "lip-flap" syllable count (which is based on the Japanese syllable count, not the translation). We'd be better off with a script that uses the Tokyopop Dub, if anyone's willing to give it a shot. I have the DVDs, but they only have subtitles for the Japanese version, like the fansubs. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 16 2009, 03:21 AM |
| I see what you mean and, I took some time to re-write the script while listening to the TokyoPop dub and now my brain hurts. I'm really sorry to say this but, the music, the voices and the way some of the sentences sounded made me want to throw myself down the nearest cliff. I had heard it was pretty bad but, seriously, I wasn't expecting it to be this atrocious! They make Bunta sound like a low-level thug....*runs to a corner to cry* At any rate, if any of you feels like doing a quick proofreading and/or quality check just to make sure I didn't miss anything/understood the heavy US slang correctly, I'll be forever and ever grateful. There's one word Itsuki says that I didn't understand at all, you'll see it's followed by three asterisks. *is off to re-watch the episode in Japanese* PS: If we do use this version, can we possibly keep the original names? Pretty please with a cherry on top? |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 16 2009, 04:59 AM |
| So, no more lulzy version? |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 16 2009, 05:17 AM | ||
Yeah, I just trimmed that track down to the appropriate length and added in the car ignition sound from the tv length track. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 16 2009, 06:17 AM | ||
There should be two versions: One the "serious" English one using either the TokyoPop dub or an adaptation from the subtitle file (since it doesn't lip-synch well); the other one will be the crack-filled script you guys will come up with. EDIT: There's no deadline for when you guys need to record everything but, of course, the earlier get them done, the better. For that purpose, I think you guys should really make a final decison on whether you want to use the TokyoPop script or the subtitle one. As per the crack-filled one, I think you could use either one as a base, just make sure you keep the words as similar-sounding as possible to the original ones so that we don't mess up with the lip-synch. So, to the Team: please come up with a decision as soon as possible so that you can all get things started, okay? |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Nov 16 2009, 06:40 AM |
| Well, like I said, I don't mind either way. I'll start recording using the Tokyo Pop dub seeing as we don't have to work together for that one. |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 16 2009, 10:54 AM |
| Okay, let me teach you all something about ADR and scriptwriting. Tokyopop's lines are following a design that scriptwriters for anime created a long time ago. In simplest terms, it's simplification to fit the lip flaps. You have the literal line translation in English, the number of lip flaps, and a thesaurus on hand to complete this task. LITERAL: I was delivering tofu for the last seven years. (14 syllables) LIP FLAPS: 10 ADAPTATION: I've been running tofu for seven years. It's not difficult. You don't have to run from the existing Tokyopop script. You can just take the generally faithful subs and adapt them from there to match the flaps. |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 16 2009, 11:05 AM |
| Ugh, funny lines with Kenji? Greeaatt..... |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 16 2009, 11:36 AM |
| To the Team: I've just sent you a PM to all of you (except JZX100: your inbox is full!!!), please get back to me as soon as you can, okay? Thanks! |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 16 2009, 11:43 AM | ||
You can now resend it. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Nov 16 2009, 12:06 PM |
| If we go with a lulz script then we NEED to put in some "Airplane!" referances! I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you. |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 16 2009, 12:11 PM | ||
I have someone in mind to play Kenji if you wanna give up the role. Tessou and Sanae: When I said to use the dub, it was strictly for syllable count. No way do I want to use the TP names or anything. My only thought was, those of us who don't have immediate access to the episode itself (to synch along to the video) would be able to write lines that match the 'flaps if we had an English script that already did. That's it. I've got the DVDs so again, doesn't bother me too much either way. Was just thinking in general. Back to perverting this script~ |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 16 2009, 12:40 PM |
| Nomake, it does make sense if we use the TP one but changing the names to the original ones. That said, let's wait for all of you to express your opinion and then go with what the majority wants to do. As per the crack-filled one, I'm really looking forward to what you guys are coming up with. |
| Posted by: Rudy Nov 16 2009, 05:09 PM | ||
Oh okay... I REALLY WANNA DO TAKUMI FOR THE NEXT ONE! =0 |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 16 2009, 05:47 PM | ||
Unless people flat-out drop out, let's not change up who plays who, okay? |
| Posted by: Möbius Nov 16 2009, 05:56 PM | ||
That would be a bit weird, wouldn't it? |
| Posted by: Rudy Nov 16 2009, 07:55 PM |
| Grrr... Sorry, I'm usually not this enthusiastic about things but I'm freakin' talented as a VA. >.< |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 16 2009, 09:19 PM | ||
I'll think about it till tomorrow, since me, with anything hilarious... Yeah. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 16 2009, 11:06 PM |
| Dori: like Nomake said, unless people drop out from the project, it's best not to change who plays who. Also, it's not like Initial D is short of characters, right? JZX100: if you don't feel like you can do something you'll be happy with, it's totally fine. I don't want you to feel pressured to go ahead, after all, this project is supposed to be something fun for us to do, okay? SCRIPT - SERIOUS VERSION: Judging by what some of you guys have told me via PM, the general preference is to use the TokyoPop one with the original Japanese names so, I'd say you can all start recording using that one. For that purpose, Pikachu has given me a really good idea: let's have a naming convention for the audio files audio files, "EP1_00_03_18_21.mp3", this, as you can see, uses the first timestamp of the sentence you're recording. That way it'll be easier to look for a specific timestamp for the people who will do the mixing. SCRIPT - CRACK VERSION: The time limit for this one should be pretty soon. I'd say we should aim to have something ready for next weekend. If you guys need more time/ideas, please let one of us know, okay? Once again, thanks to all for your help! |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 17 2009, 02:09 PM | ||
A little look at what I'm writing for the lulz version.
|
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 17 2009, 02:10 PM | ||
It was only a little bit, and already I laughed out loud. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 17 2009, 02:29 PM | ||
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks Keisuke WAS actually thinking that while he was talking to them. I-LOVE-IT. |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 17 2009, 02:39 PM | ||
Ohh, that kind of lulz. |
| Posted by: Godot Nov 17 2009, 03:10 PM |
| I think I needa buy a Microphone to start recording. Dont think my laptop can handle it. After that dilemma is done, Ill start on the Lulzy one then the serious one. |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 17 2009, 04:50 PM |
| So Tokyopop (instead of the fansubbed) version and the crack version both? I'm fine with the Tokyopop version if that's what the majority wants. But when I first watched the TP version last night, it sounded horrible. They talk ghetto. Lol. A suggestion: if we're making both versions, lets make the video dual language that we can switch, if possible. You know, like we can switch between English and Japanese audio in mkv and ogm? I think it'll be really great. Completing the series would make it even greater and every ID fan would probably wanna watch it like another anime series. Lol. (Hope we don't get sued for copyright, though...) |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Nov 17 2009, 05:23 PM |
| Nice, Tesso. I think I know where to start now on the "lulz" version. Will definitely start doing my part by this weekend and might have everything done by next Monday, including recordings for both versions. |
| Posted by: Drew Nov 17 2009, 06:56 PM | ||
No, what you guys should do is what a lot of abridged redubs do; have some disclaimer about for some whack tokyopop line in the middle of all the new dialog. |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 18 2009, 01:21 AM |
| A disclaimer WILL be added along with the credits. Not that it makes what we're doing in any way legal but, as long as we don't make a profit out of it, we should be fine. Saint: The idea was to have the double audio track encoded with the video track in an ogm or mkv file. This way we can easily switch from the serious one to the lulz version without having to change file. My only question is this: what formats are currently supported by IDW TV? |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Nov 18 2009, 02:58 AM | ||
Everything. IDW TV merely rebroadcasts what you have on your screen. You can do anything you want. (Keep in mind, I use it to broadcast erogame playthroughs) |
| Posted by: Saint Nov 18 2009, 03:28 AM | ||
Splendid! I better hurry up. Lol. |
| Posted by: Tessou Nov 18 2009, 05:20 AM |
| I'm doffing the plan to read the amount of lipflaps. It's ridiculously hard and tedious and it will never be done in time if we want to have this done by the weekend. All I'm doing now is matching the audio time for time. If Keisuke talks for 5 seconds, I'm talking for 5 seconds. Watch the "Juggernaut B*tch" videos and you'll see that this can still be hilarious without even attempting to match flaps. |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 18 2009, 08:52 AM |
| Can anyone help me come up with lines for Kenji that sounds good? |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 19 2009, 09:58 AM | ||||
Super-pathetic attempt coming up:
Anyway, someone here will very likely have a better idea. Nomake: great to hear we'll be able to broadcast this. All we need now is to find a free slot for the "premiere". |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 19 2009, 05:35 PM | ||||
... Sanae, you're a lifesaver. Edit: My mike stopped working >_< |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 23 2009, 10:10 AM |
| Since I've basically been away from my laptop most of the weekend, I thought I'd ask what's everyone's status so that we all know how forward/behind schedule we are. @ JZX100: is the mike still non-functional? |
| Posted by: Shirogane Nov 23 2009, 10:13 AM | ||
I got a Rock Band mic to work. Did you get the PM? |
| Posted by: Sanae Nov 23 2009, 10:18 AM |
| Brilliant. And yes, I did get the PM, I'm saving all the audio files you guys send me so that when he have them all, we can start working on the editing. |
| Posted by: Alastair Nov 23 2009, 10:36 AM |

| Posted by: Kiroshino Nov 23 2009, 11:10 AM |
| I'll try to record it now and send you the audio file for the Tokyo Dub version. Still need to work with others to finish up the script for the lulz version. Edit: Voice sounded really tired so I deleted the recordings. Next time I get a chance to record will be Wednesday. Edit 2: Sorry for wasting everyone's time, but I really don't feel comfortable/confident doing this at all. If anyone doesn't have a part but wants one, they can have mine. Thanks for giving me the opportunity, but I can't follow through with it like I originally intended. Sorry. |
| Posted by: Sanae Dec 23 2009, 05:17 AM |
| @ Kiro-kun, it's fine if you don't feel like doing this. I appreciate your honesty! To the rest of the team: sorry for dropping this for so long but I got busy with my writing again so I haven't had the time to coordinate this properly. That said, what do you guys say if we try and pick it up after the holidays? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Dec 27 2009, 08:36 PM |
