Nothing!
So I’ve sorta taken a bit of a vacation from subbing after Mospeada. I said I’d begin work on Jecy 6, but I guess I lied. Between work deadlines, summer heat, and my birthday (my girlfriend got me the entire series The Tomorrow People on DVD, which is AWESOME), I just haven’t felt up to doing any timing. Until today that is. Jecy 06 is 50% done, will probably have the timing finished this weekend.
I’ve also begun work on raws for The Visualist Collection, which are hour-long art collections for Haruhiko Mikimoto and Kenichi Sonoda. Filtering has proved tricky, as they are a mix of live-action segments and static and/or pan-and-scan art slides instead of the animation I’ve been working with – but at least they were mastered well, so no grain, jitter, or other oddities. But the filtering process took 18+ hours for the Mikimoto collection, had to run it while I was away last weekend. I assume Sonoda will take just as long, so I’ll run it while I’m out this weekend. I don’t intend to subtitle these – there isn’t very much to subtitle, really.
If only they’d release Blake’s 7 on NTSC R1 DVD…

The first three seasons of Tomorrow People are pretty decent, but after that it gets progressively worse (or progressively more awesome, depending on how much of your enjoyment of the series is for the camp value).
Useless trivia: years before The Skaro Hunting Society was a fan subtitling operation, it was a local club that I founded in 1985. It was similar to most of those anime clubs that met at local public libraries, but with one difference: in addition to anime, I used to also show British SF series, such as Blake’s 7 (before it had aired in the US) and The Tomorrow People (after it had stopped airing on Nickelodeon).
I actually do like some of the later stories (The Living Skins was one I distinctly remembered from my childhood). But yeah, you gotta use your imagination to accept what are obviously balloons as any sort of credible threat… I’d say the camp value is a definite factor. Same deal with classic Doctor Who. I was actually quite pleased to see a bad greenscreen effect in the newer Matt Smith episode, The Vampires of Venice. ^_^
Thanks for continuing work on Jecy! It’s good to take breaks though so you don’t get burnt out! I look forward to any future projects you work on! :)
