If you refer to the Evas as "she" there will be hell to pay. ;)

I also don't think this will work. It will be too much trouble coordinating everyone to get online at the same time, starting the episode at the same time, and figuring out who's going to talk about what. This method will inevitably lead to very uneven commentary content per individual.Shiro wrote:Here's my idea. Host a vent server on your PC,
I think that's a necessity. Although I think the beginning will be most often used as an outline or as a place for discussing the actual opening animation, which has quite a bit to talk about. Though I don't want to go deep into details on the opening animation - that's what the FGC is for, but I do want to point out certain things.slothen wrote:Also, what do you think about using the intro and ending things to outline the main things we want to hit on and cover anything we missed in the end?
I want to make this more for newbies. For one thing, veterans do not need an audio commentary. I do not think we're going to shed light on the series in terms of the real NGE vets. So first and foremost this commentary must be aimed at the newbies. We really don't need basic plot descriptions, but a noting of the more confusing plot elements in the series. I mean, most episodes - especially the early ones - are self-explanatory in terms of plot. But towards the end things pop up and are given no explanation, and it's these elements that confuse newbies.slothen wrote: What assumptions are we going to make about the listeners familiarity with the episode? Maybe they've watched it once, maybe they watched it twice a year or two ago? Veterans that know the dialogue nearly by heart? We don't want to bore the veteran with very basic plot descriptions, and we don't want to intimidate the NGE newbie.
I still don't have a mic and, believe it or not I checked th local Walmart and they didn't have any either. So it might be a while before I'm available, but I definitely think we need time to work this whole thing out.slothen wrote:Also, we need to make sure we have no feedback from speakers back to microphones. Echo is bad. Some people never seem to have this problem, sometimes closed-cup headphones is a must. Do a simple voice recording with your microphone and see how much noise it has.
Exactly what are you talking about here? You guys will have to excuse my ignorance with recording and mixing audio over the net as I have no clue.slothen wrote:In my experience it would work best if I just recorded the whole thing on my computer, and I'd send you copies for backup. It would take a bit of figuring out, to be able to record the microphone and vent at once, and play the episodes at the same time, but i think i could do it.
I'm assuming so. No dub.slothen wrote:As for subs and dubs, both by ADV?

Using Audacity, right? How are we going to, uhhh, all know what's going on? I mean, how are we going to hear/connect with each other?

1) And I really think it's best to discuss the bookend at the first episode because there's too much going on during the final scene to get it in. I swear, EoE will be hell. We might all have to record a separate one for the final scene, for instance.Themaninblack wrote:1.) When Rei-III appears we breifly go over the bookend theroy

3.) We begin to discuss Misato and Shinji's relationship
4.) We begin dicussing Nerv's function.
5.) We can breifly go over some production notes while nothing elese is going on and relate how this ep fits in with the big picture

Yojimbo: This scene shows that Rei is hot.
Shiro: Yeah, it really shows off her sex appeal.
Slothen: I disagree, Asuka is by far sexier.

I think my computer has some serious kind of problem with ventrilo. It crashes my computer every time i try to use it. It didn't use to do this, it even happened when I played guildwars with Seele08 and i tried to connect to her guilds vent server. Worst comes to worst I can run it off my desktop with no problem.
slothen wrote:right now i just want to see if you can connect to my server. open vent, connect to 71.156.82.55 port 3784. I'll say a test phrase. If you can hear it too, then we're like 80% of the way through all the foreseeable technical problems. If I can figure out ventrilo's built in recording feature, the honestly we're home free.
