Good news - I have uploaded my guitar .AIFF files in the face of adversity, aka Malaysian broadband speed.

Unlike the mixed .mp3 version I added to the drum+rhythm guitar guide track, these mono tracks are provided in their original 0dB level. There are four files and it'll be obvious what they represent and are provided in such away to facilitate further tweaks during mixing.

Main track - http://www.mediafire.com/file/qsmz80e3la8qc0b/TMO_KUDO_MAINECHORIFFS.aif

Pre-solo guitar riffs + post-solo power chords - http://www.mediafire.com/file/6fa8euwd65vtp88/TMO_KUDO_PRESOLORIFFS_PWRCHDS.aif

DD3 riffs + chorus riffs - http://www.mediafire.com/file/u644dh10mw4lsau/TMO_KUDO_ECHORIFFS_CHORUS.aif

Guitar solo - http://www.mediafire.com/file/jz4dakrxxbb02x0/TMO_KUDO_GTRSOLO.aif

As for the video - once again, I'd rather not complicate things.

1. Performance videos as how everyone has done them, although I welcome innovative approaches to your individual videos. If you are feeling a bit keen, multiple angle shots are encouraged! Mine will be in the vein of my Onegai Navi (with the head this time) and TMO (mounted GoPro shots) cover vids, like so:




2. Marco - I have to admit I haven't looked at your BV vid as it's 625MB and it'll prolly take a year to download in Malaysia. Did you record this segment with a mic or mic-free (like how astuffds does hers in the past projects)?

3. Papara papappara! If possible I need mug shots of people in the band doing the papara papapparaa bits please. If you have a mask on (like shirokun) - so be it! I know pinq is a litte shy... if you rather not, that's fine hehe.

For this I need the head shot to be dead centre, pretty please - like this:



If it's a bit off centre I guess that's fine.

I also have an idea of getting other SHCB members involved in papara papappara-ing with us, what do you think?

4. Theme - I'm using #SCEU2016 as the theme. I'll include rapid non-SCANDAL performance shots of Amsterdam, Vienna and London, as well as a bunch of SCANDAL fans in London doing the papara papappara bit as well. Was supposed to get one from Paris, but it seems they weren't, well... too keen on the idea.

I hope to get this done before the MANIA tour starts, ie before SCEU2016 becomes a distant memory for the band (yup, we're spamming their Twitter again, folks).

testing astuffds and marco vocals, not done with the instrument yet and my track its just a guide for shirokun bass, still finding suitable time for taking my part

I don't know how you do it, but you never fail to impress @pinq T__________T otsukare~

@kudo I recorded video with the mic; if it helps, I put some "emotion" into it. Lol

pinq's magic touch is here once again. It's virtually on repeat on my iTunes at the mo.



Otsukare sama deshita.

Marco - looking forward to see the emotion for this one! And... LOVE THE HARMONIES, the two of you!!!

As it happens, to answer your Pa-pa-pa-ra videos on #SCEU2016, I asked fellow Indonesian fans for a gathering next sunday (Oct 16th) and also their help to record pa-pa-pa-ra together with me (which means Noor, Pinq, I obliged REALLY WISH you two could come, too. I'll PM you the details)

As for vocal videos, pleeeease be patient kudo lol I'll try to do mine asap within next week. Haha

PINQ! yooooou


Love the rough mix! What did you do to my voice xD Is that coming from me, really?

Anyway, I think it would be great if you could get marco's BV a bit louder on the entire chorus, especially on PA-PA-RA (I think those PA-PA-RAs will be nice if they are as loud as my vocal, even louder, to sync to kudo's plan with the MV (Crowd singing together))

Other than that,
wow
Magic touch indeed xD

You made my rushed bass sound pretty decent! I'm gonna clean and string up my bass as it's been collecting dust for the past year.With that, if I have enough time, a new bass track will pop up. lol

Jeez, I need to step up my game and purchase new equipment! The multiple angle shots look great, and frankly I don't think my S4 will satisfy what I want.

I hope to get this edit done just before the end of the month when they play their first MANIA club date on 30.10.16 if at all possible.

Besides, I will be editing SCANDAL BABY / project #13 first when I get back from my holiday. Which is really soon.

astuffds wrote:As for vocal videos, pleeeease be patient kudo lol I'll try to do mine asap within next week. Haha

Had a thought, astuffds.

Could you try one shot when you have the gathering where you'd be in the middle of the shot singing the chorus with your friends around you, and they then go pappara papappara with you? They need to sing that bit in sync though for this to look good.

Do this is as an extra shot please, and we'll see how it goes.

Tell me where it'll be possible to land my help, kudo!

...that'd take...a lot of confidence........standing in the middle of everyone. lol
.wtf.
but I'll try..
.pinch.

keep it up :D

As you know the video has a SCEU2016 theme to it, where very fast cuts of the city and scenes around the SCANDAL gigs at Amsterdam, Wien and London will be included in between the cover band's performance shot.

What say all of you if we have... karate in it a la the actual TMO PV?

Either I fit it in or actually produce an alternate version of a video (some bands do different versions of music videos).

It'll be done by a SCANDAL fan, actually, if you guys agree to this and the video shot in central London. Like outside under the neon lights - because we don't have Shibuya. Just to let you know, she does actual karate, takes parts in competitions around Europe, and... she knows the kata the girl performed in the SCANDAL PV.

Let me know what you think.

I think that's a very nice idea.
it'll take our video onto another level!

But who will help her record her karate moves? She has someone to help her?

Yes. I'd love to do the shoot myself but I can't be in London. I'll do a quick storyboard or something.

I have a videographer friend who might be able to help out but as it is his profession (well, photography is his profession so might be able to borrow a video camera) I also know of another member who is willing to help! 
If anybody knows any London-based videographers that owe you a favour do let me know 

Oh yes, band - say hi to Jasmine. And Jasmine - this is the band.

Sounds sick! Hi Jasmine :D

Not really surprised to see this sounds awesome. Good job guys.

By the sounds of it, with all that SCAEU2016 footage, this video will be epic.

Pinq! check your PM xD

Hello Jasmine! Thanks for your help, welcome to the project ^^

Thank you clem84 .toj.

Hi all - I am still in the thick of completing the SCANDAL BABY project video.

But please send in your performance videos if you have done them.

Additional requests for the TMO performance videos.

1. I would be doing the video in wide screen at a 2.35:1 ratio. As far as you are concerned, you don't need to do any adjustments to your video cameras, but if you could make sure the top of your head and the musical instrument you are playing are in view that'd be great.

What a 2.35:1 ratio looks like:



So if you head is too close to the top of the screen, it'll get chopped off in the widescreen crop.

2. Multiple angles, although not necessary, are very much welcomed. This includes out-takes, as I may use them as fillers if needs be.

3. Just a reminder, the video is to be in 1080HD please and at least 25 fps.

The original instructions for the TMO video can be seen here - https://www.scandal-heaven.com/t13340p50-the-14th-shcb-project#744657

And how are we doing for videos?
