WIP: Mahjong video begins!

Added 2024-12-13 09:48:44 +0000 UTC

Hello! Back to my WIP updates because there's WIPs to talk about again~

After the poll it ended up...tied between Mahjong and Champion of Eorzea. Well, it's my fault for having 3 options. I remember seeing Mahjong winning most of the time I checked back and most comments were about it, so I went with that one!

And this week I started working on it! First thing I did for it, was make the mahjong tiles.

I don't plan on showing them in detail, but I want to try to include a few things here and there that mahjong players would get, yet not too much that the video depends on understanding what's there...because I wouldn't either. But I'm doing my research now! Asking mahjong players when I need to, watching videos and a mahjong anime, for dramatic reference. :P

Maybe by the end of the project I will be able to finally understand basic mahjong rules.

And most importantly, I got all of the Scions voice packs and recorded more lines, and translated the ones I'm going to use. Most of those are from G'raha, but Y'shtola, Alphinaud and Estinien are also beeing used a little. These are all soo good!

This time I'm setting up the majority of the audio first, with sound effects, voice and music, and based on that, get an estimate of the shot durations and orders. I also got a few references from that anime I mentioned, and recorded some myself! There will also be textboxes with the dialogue text, and since I already have those pre-made from other projects, I've been adding those already, too.

So far I've got around 50 seconds in my initial planning, but that would be only the first part. I think this one might end up being 1 minute long? I'm going to be working on it in 2 parts, like I did with the Late Night Visit, so right now I will focus on this first one.

I'm very excited to start animating it!!! I hope you all like it.

Thank you for your support!
