kill bill the whole bloody affair ibleedspeed edit (Released) — Page 2

got the dvd fully authored today. a lot of work went into it. main menu went through vegas for animation. the dvd is loaded with extras and i learned how to manage the size quite well the entire dvd without the main title is down to 1 gb. so this leaves room for the main title to be about 6.9 gb. should be very good video quality.i have gotten very friendly with vegas,dvd architect,and after affects. all that is left to do now is edit the video and create soft subs. i think it may be easier to compose the soft subs then to manually add all the subs in vegas i will have to resync all the subs after the final video renders. again this will lead to the best video quality i can get. my final vol 2 uncut source will be here tomorrow and it is looking like the finished product will be done much earlier then i thought. i had no idea this project would turn out this well i expected a lot less of my first effort but this is going fantastic. not to toot my own horn but damn!

thanks for the interest imperialfighter. hmm you have me wondering about the qthegaijin edit. most comments i have seen on it siad that the video quality was poor. in my copy it was badly interlaced. scan lines real bad and fuzzy. wonder if the copy i got was manipulated after the release by people who did not know how to do it.  the new font is the same font used in the original title i found it on chance its a windows standard font called "bookman old style" i kind of decided on it to keep it original. i continued with the bookman font in all the menu,s on my dvd. butt if you prefer the keetano kill bill font then maybe others do too. i would like opinions on that if your checking out this thread let me know what you think. keep in mind that my twba title fades in and out exactly with the kill bill above it.  impfighter i would like to use the demoe bill scene but for me it was a little too campy for the rest of the movie the only scene that seems this campy in the movie is when she is driving in the open of vol 2 and that scene is getting cut also. and the missing graphic of the sword scabbard killed it for me. i would not know how to add the graphic in after effects and it would be too much work to learn to do it. i would like to release this before Q.T releases the real thing.lol    the intermission was just a thought Q.T. spoke of adding kung fu sounds and various elements to make the intermission fun but i  am with impfighter on this it wont be done. let me know what you guys think about the 2 fonts. thanks impfighter for posting the comparison and all the input.

ChainsawAsh said: but the words shouldn't be nearly as thin and tall, and the font size should be small enough to fit under "Bill."

i agree the font is too thin but i dont think what your saying is possible. if i make the words fit under bill it shrinks the whole font. how could i make the font wider yet shrink the total size? does that not require making a custom font? i am sure that is what Q.T. did but i dont have a clue how to make a font. if i made the font as big as the "kill bill" it was still thinner then "kill bill". maybe i will work on the size but i dont think i can make it any thicker.

yeah you are right about having the words be smaller to fit under "bill" that does look better. but i still dont see that the font is any thicker. what i did was i created a huge text in photoshop 1920x1080 layer. in bold. then drug that over to my composition in after effects and free transformed it to shrink it down without ending up with jagged edges. is this the right way ash? or how should i do it? thanks for the help.

sounds like a good plan ash. i will do just that. thanks for clarifying guys.

cool! nice links imperial fighter. btw i did mess around with some red in the title trying to get a blood spattered affect. but in the end it just felt too homemade,ish for what i am trying to accomplish. good news guy,s i am here taking a brake from doing the subtitles manually in vegas. it,s hard to tell what they really look like on my 15" screen but i would say its looking awesome!! i am almost halfway through the 1st volume on the subs. its a major job doing it like this but chainsawash was so right about doing it this way. i can sync it all to perfection and keep the subs down in the letterbox and out of the picture. the subs are yellow with arial font. cant post a pic just yet until i render it out then you guys can get a glimpse. but hey! who needs a pic when i will be releasing it in just a few days. the editing is done and its glorious. tough first project for me but worth it all to learn everything i have. i owe a lot to the members at ot.com for sharing their wisdom. KILL BILL THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR is coming soon. and i think you all will be pleased.

the bluray releases are the us cut. it is sad that the uncut edition has yet to be released on bluray because i have the blurays and they look stunning. considering the number of years it took to release bluray editions the fact that they still went with the us cut of the film is just a smudge on the otherwise flawless record of Q.T.   but i blame mirawacks not the great director. it seems he has been left to his own device to release the whole bloody affair. to the point of he had to buy a theater to get the fim shown on the bigscreen. i have hope for a bluray edition but if it is spread across 2 discs then its pointless.      chaisawash  i went with the standard arial font. i looked at using the bookman font but arial just looked cleaner.  and me personally i love the subs in the letterbox. i have always felt that subs in the picture takes away from the cinematic quality of a film that relies mostly on visual elements. i would rather see heads chopped off without words stamped across them.lol.   i will never forget the day i was in blockbuster buying some movies and was approached by a suburbanite couple in there 40,s, a real soccermom and conservative lawyer type. the lady was clutching kill bill vol 1 and 2 in her hand.   she looks at me with that  donna reed haircut and says are these movies any good?  the husband was like  in shock his wife was gonna let him rent them.  and all i could do was smile wide and say um well your holding 2 of my favorite movies ever made. so are they good? i would have to say no they are amazing! but do i think you should watch them? i would say if you do not mind a little bit of blood then i would send the kids to bed grab a cocktail and get ready to have a one of kind viewing experience!   i left that rental smiling just knowing that they would get maybe half way through the first volume before the wife suddenly gets "really sleepy" and goes to bed with a shocked disgusted feeling and the husband stays up late and watches both films while pounding back beers and loving every minute of it. it just goes to show film violence in the usa is both loved and hated. and the exec,s in hollywood are subdivided by young people who know what america wants to see and conservative tightwads who still think we want to see martin lawrence dressed up as a fat women.  as a result of this segregation we ended up with kill bill split and chopped.  all i can say is the only way Q.t. is gonna make his fans happy is by adding the 7 extra minutes to the oren anime he talked about and releasing the entire film on 1 glorious bluray disc. i have hope! but the truth is he will have to work out his own distribution to give us what we want. sorry for the run on rant guys my grammar is lacking!

i rendered this clip out to mpg for those wondering about the subs. however after resizing it to fit here i think the text color faded a little. its brighter yellow.

ChainsawAsh said:Don't forget that when the picture is stretched back out to make it 16:9, the subtitle text is going to get shorter/wider, as well.  Just something to keep in mind.

yeah i thought about that. even asked about it but didnt really get an answer. well i hope they come out ok because they are done! i am currently rendering the ac3 5.1 track now. then the video when its done in about an hour. and the final render in cce. the dvd is already pre authored all i have to do is add the movie and set the chapters. if all goes well you guys will be the first to know. i will be uploading it to public bt and 1 or 2 private trackers to be announced. i am very happy so far with how the edit looks. very clean! this could become very addictive for me.  i already have 2 more planned. 

i was going to give you guys a sneek peek at the dvd main menu but its kind of a spoiler. i am revamping it right now but i may post it up later today.
