Just a random Project Planning post.

Yes. I need one of these.

A project here will mean a lot of work. This includes: Other language, major VSQ/MIDI editing, PVs, alternate lyrics, or VCV stuff.

So, uh, besides the fact that I'm epically lazy, I guess I'll try to finish these?

Projects started:

-shinningray SOFT (oh, laziness. I'm just going to draw a nicer image.)

-Memories REDO (w/ the harmony that I can't figure out)

-Summer's Melancholy (will appear below too)

-Migikata no Chou SHIZUO ver. Not gonna be Len's because Shizu's voice doesn't work with it....

-LipSync model for Shizu (need a few tests still..)

-YOUTHFUL DAYS' GRAFFITI (ENGLISH) (oh, need to record some more)

-

Projects Proposed:

-Summer's Melancholy -Telling the story of this girl in English, with PVs and using many songs. Likely will not use chorus parts... Likely to not have Subs, due to the fact that each slide will be at different lengths... Maybe YT subs though... Oh, I'm gonna need a bunch of character designs too.... Oh, and she doesn't lose her eye until halfway through.

Needed for Summer's Melancholy:

-Part 1 - to the tune of KOKORO. -has lyrics, has more notes recorded- -basic sketches of slide for the PV- Oh, and the vocals for this one will probably suck since I'm lazy and just want to get one up. -Has song done, needs to color slides, needs to draw half of the slides still.-

Projects unrelated to songs:

-A new blog design? Don't know where to begin.

-MMD model? Ehh... maybe later...

-Configure teh OTO.INI

New concept.

Art, I mean. Info on page.

Shizu's new concept art:

Name decisions. Cuz I'm not sure right now...

Who I'm renaming? CH Shizu and Shizuo.

Both of their current names are kinda... eh.

Anyways, both will still mean some form of "quiet". Just need to figure out which to use... Any ideas?

I'm thinking something like Annon for CH Shizu, meaning something along the lines of "peaceful-quiet". I'd use Shizuka, but I kinda want something different...

Shizuo ideas:

Heizen (cool-quiet)

Hissori (silent-quiet)

Shizuo is CH's older brother, btw.

Erm, as far as personalities, Shizuo has a very slight sister fetish, and CH Shizu has a very slight older brother fetish... bleh. CH Shizu is one of those people who wants to be cute... She's a young child around the age of seven or eight.

Shizuo tends to be more in a foul mood. He acts kinda rash, but is still pretty shy.

It's also been decided that chibi-Shizu is really just an image now. CH = child, anyways.

Fanfic.

UTAU Secret Reports:

aka UTAUSR. (I keep calling this thing UTAU-saur. xD)

Y'know how TWEWY had those secret reports? The voice in my head told me to try writing them on UTAUloids.

These are just for fun. But, uh, since I'm bound to fail completely at this, give me permission to use your UTAU? Or suggest a Japanese one?

A Story With No Name:

aka ASWNN.

A Shizu fanfic.

I always need help with casting and names: HERE.

And if anyone actually cares, this may help define Shizu's personality a little more. When it's done, though.

Pre-chapters; the negatives; side stories: These are more fun than the story itself...

Chapter -.01: http://stateofdep.deviantart.com/#/d2sk46n

Gacha Gacha Cute~!

Harhar.

It sounds kinda funny in parts.

Another new image decision: Shizu's clips are now thinner (just slightly fatter than Rin's), and are of a strange pattern. The pattern is to be of the artist's choice.

Migikata no Chou REDO

The version I stuck on Nico. Fixed the image, but the last verse is a little out of sync.

More randomness: I google Shizu every so often, and I'm not really surprised that she doesn't appear much. What I think is sad is that her google images aren't really of her... Bleh. Not even to my dA page. Gotta get more art done...

Marisa Stole the Precious Thing.

Well, it sounds kinda funny.

Oh, and YT's embedding thing only lets me go this small. No smaller than that. Of course I can change it, but I'm too lazy to.

Random fact: First time Shizu appears in something other than my own videos: a preview for a 16 chorus magnet. Ehh, she's kinda nasally/fail/accent there... Bleh. Oh well, there's a first time for everything.

Shiningray

Oh how I fail at UST editing.

The new stuff. A 4.1 test.

Just japanese + VCV. +Soft set too.

http://www.mediafire.com/?qk2n2wndzov

Soft = an up arrow after romaji, a dash before hiragana. This one's for people who aren't going to use any other language besides Japanese. Or manipulative English. It's also for people who can't DL large files.

And the whole shebang.

Now with Spanish, and parts of a lot of other languages. And with redone Chinese, a modified version. I hope they sound better.

FOR BOTH VBs, the image that's supposed to pop up in UTAU hates me. The image is in the folder, but if I add it to the character.txt, it will say "bad picture" and not show the readme.txt.

How to use Shizu's Chinese

Random note: Two more plans that won't get done or even started for a while: First off, I'm rerecording it again, cuz some of the notes sound funny when merged/overlapped together. And then I'll use Wang Fangmei's reclist because (I'm too lazy to use my own methods, orz) and I hear that reclist is good.

So, the TUT thing for 4.1 is below, and the one for 5.0 is here:

U with two dots on it is "u:".

Everything else is in PinYin. There are no CVC sounds, but there are VC sounds that you can merge together. I don't have all of the CVV sounds either, but I have the VV sounds...merging again.

Most of it is very CV VC. Not quite like how Cz does that awesome Japanese and English CV VC, but something a bit like it. Like "tang", for example, you'd have to split it into "ta" and "ang".

Tuang, on the other hand would end up being tu/ua/ang. Or maybe you're good enough with it to just use tu/ang. I dunno.

See how much easier that was than whatever's below? :D

-------------------

For VB 4.1:

M'kay. Here we go. Cuz it's easier to read it here than to make people download it... And I can fix it easily.

=================================================

|C = Consenant |

|V = Vowel |

|U: = U with two dots on it |

|etc = et cetera, et cetera, you get the point |

=================================================

If you're reading this, it means you at least have some interest in using Shizu's Chinese. Thanks.

Though you may want to know basic pinyin.

Oh, and this is Madirin. But it can probably be manipulated for Cantonese.

Everything has a tail of "_c" on it. This is due to the fact that some Chinese pinyin has the same spelling and different pronounciation. etc etc.

I've rerecorded her Chinese, and added a few more things. In other words, no more worrying about whether the Chinese is the same as Japanese.

U: has a tail of "_cc" this time. U has just one "_c". (IE, "lu_c" and "lu_cc". etc.)

There aren't recorded CVV, but there are VV and CV. ( No VCV either. Those are a pain. )

I also recorded "bmpf dtnl gkh...etc". These serve no purpose other than the fact that they can substitute for the others.

It's a matter of whatever you think sounds better. (Same goes for the ones that are pronounced the same as Japanese.)

Please let me know here of anything I missed/need to fix.

Huh, what?

Guess what. What? What's coming up? Nothing. Then, what?

A new, updated version of Shizu's VB.

Yay.

That's what.

Anyways, since my lack of update on even covers, I've been working on these:

-Adding Spanish, some German, some Latin, some Dutch, some Filipino (Tagalog). (done)

-Redoing Chinese, with a much needed update. (recorded. done.) BTW, due to my naturally soft voice, it's a softer set.

-CHINESE WILL BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. Easier? Maybe. Will fix the How To on it...

-Fixing FRQ files

-Making two different VB. (One just Japanese and Triphonics, the other with everything.) (Sorted.)

-Attempting to get rid of useless pitch arrow notes and other useless stuff that only makes the file unneededly larger. (done)

-Getting rid of those notes from the OTO file. (The oto file wants to refuse this... There will be some random blank spaces in the updated version. Shouldn't make much of a difference... Just annoyance towards tweaks)

-Soft set of Japanese. All ready to use w/ her already soft VCV. Only cause I can't figure out the prefix.map stuff. (done)

Will be uploaded here when the FRQs are done.

The errors will probably be in the soft set of the Just Japanese + VCV bank. Ehh.
