Let's Read: Homestuck! - Thread #2 [Now on Act 5!]

[Yayz]

Unless Hussie pulls a Bill Watterson and decides to live like a hermit in a cabin in Montana doing nothing but painting landscapes...

I love you for saying this. Bill Watterson is best cartoonist.

And the schedule information was okay too

[Voxstuck]

Commenting with an obligatory "Hooray for the news of possible imminent auditions." I am excited to take my shot at the voices that will be offered up. Beyond that, after watching the third bloopers video, I must say how pleased I am that Skittles appears to be a Game Grumps fan.

[NickyTheRat]

Hey, if anyone would like to do me a colossal favor, I'd be wicked grateful.

We have no record of what songs we used in many episodes of Acts 1 and 2, and for CoLabHQ I want to be more comprehensive with our credits, but simply don't have the time right now to go back and watch four hours worth of videos to determine what music is in them. I'm not asking anyone to comb through all the uncredited episodes by themselves, but any help you could spare would be fricken huge.

[Shockwave]

Oh, cool!
Now I have a mighty need to try out my Mituna voice!

Sorry to disappoint you, but we are not opening casting for the troll ancestors save for Meenah and Aranea. The others will be handled in house or by cameos. Mituna specifically has already been assigned to our very own SeñorPacman.

It's alright! With SeñorPacman doing the voice, I bet it'll be pretty damn hilarious!

Here, I did the first four episodes.

Episode One 0:03 - Showtime (Original Mix)
Episode One 2:06 - Sburban Countdown
Episode One 2:46 - Aggrieve
Episode One 5:16 - Harlequin

Episode Two has no background music.

Episode Three 9:00 - Showtime (Piano Refrain)
Episode Three 9:47 - Lifdoff
Episode Three 11:41 - Unknown (I couldn't find it anywhere, so I'm assuming its from a fan album.)

Episode Four 0:03 - Skies of Skaia
Episode Four 2:40 - Skaian Dreams (Remix) (As part of the Unused MSPA Music Bundle, lucky I got it recently.)
Episode Four 3:28 - Carefree Victory
Episode Four 3:37 - Never heard that one, so I'm guessing its a fan composition since I literally just scoured all over the homestuck bandcamp searching for the last song of Act 3
Episode Four 5:37 - Ohgodwhat
Episode Four 6:43 - Guardian (Again, part of the Cut MSPA Music Bundle.)
Episode Four 8:48 - Vagabounce
Episode Four 9:47 - At the Price of Oblivion
Episode Four 10:22 - Sburban Jungle

I'll continue later, just helping out the CoLab.

[NickyTheRat]

Hot damn, thanks.

If you keep going, keep in mind that select videos from Act 2 have music credits. I don't want you to do a ton of work for nothing.

[BizarreMonkey]

Thanks for letting me know, seems I only had a little to go.

Here's your full list of credits in spoilers. I like that you use a lot of the Cut MSPA music, really glad I found that recently (thanks to you guys, no less) so I was able to accredit that stuff as well.

Glad I could help. I couldn't find the music used for Serious Business, though given its incredibly old fashioned Beethoven-worthy accord, I'd say its not relevant to Homestuck in any fashion, though it certainly fits with the theme its used for.

If there's any beyond Act 2: Episode 3 which are lacking credit, let me know. Though I checked up until Episode 6 and I'd find it fairly odd that credits would cease for one or two episodes betwixt.

[NickyTheRat]

Incredible work. This fucking guy, ladies and gentlemen, is a prince among men.

[Sporkaganza]

Now you just gotta find some sap to add the Homestuck page counts to all the episodes that don't have them. Also, I have a question about bringing the videos over. How exactly are you doing that? Is there a way to bring over the annotations, or will you have to do those from scratch?

[NickyTheRat]

Ugh goddamn you're right, I'm going to have to redo annotations. I fucking hate doing annotations. Luckily there aren't that many of them.

I took care of the page credits myself. I'm actually almost done. It also just hit me that we're launching in 3 days got damn.

[Sporkaganza]

That is a got damn. Is the new episode still a work in progress, or have you just been delaying it because the channel migration is so soon?

[Rafe]

The Serious Business music in A1E5 is not just "Beethoven-worthy". It is Beethoven. Symphony 5, naturally.

The last track on A1E3 (not counting Showtime at the very end) is de Bruin's "White Host, Green Room" on Vol 7.

I guess I was onto something, I didn't want to say it was Beethoven because I didn't know. If it turns out it infact was Beethoven then I guess I'm not as musically inattentive as I thought.

The last track on A1E3 (not counting Showtime at the very end) is de Bruin's "White Host, Green Room" on Vol 7.

Damn it, I actually opened that but it sounded unfamiliar, checked it just then and yeah, it doesn't start the part used until about 55 seconds in.

No idea the song that plays in the section of Act 2: Episode 8 either, where Rose is going through her Gamefaqs Walkthrough.

Also this exercise has given me something to do with this 12 dollars I have sitting in my account, gonna buy The Wanderer's and the Prospit & Derse Albums.

[Rafe]

No idea the song that plays in the section of Act 2: Episode 8 either, where Rose is going through her Gamefaqs Walkthrough.

That's "Maibasojen" on LOFAM.

[NickyTheRat]

It's here! It's here! It's final-lully here!

The first new video on our new channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/CoLabHQ
Youtube is taking some time to catch up to the massive select all-make public edit I just did, so it make take a while for the channel to un-chunkify, but rest assured that everything is there. If there are any problems, let us know either here or on our new twitter, http://twitter.com/CoLabHQ

Huge thanks to everyone who cameoed in this episode, the credits for whom can be seen in the YouTube description.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm fucking sleepy.

[Rafe]

Wow. Wow! That is a great episode and a great new logo. (Might wanna update your sig?) All those salamander voices! The first one gave me serious cute overload. Also, is the one at 5:03 doing an Obama impression? Funniest shit. I love what you guys do.

[BizarreMonkey]

Ahahahaha oh god oh god oh god oh god that was the cutest slew of Salamander sing alongs ever. Kate is the prophet of the Secret Wizard, behold her robes!

Also, that Obama Salamander for president, actually, scratch that, let him be ruler of the world, he's got the idea!

I really like that I can identify who did which Salamander, I can't decipher all of them yet and I think some were done by cameos, but oh god this was great and gave me a great lift after a mildly irritating day.

[whitehelm]

Yes, part 2 of Alterniabound was edited by Pacman and he didn't upload it at HD. When we transfer to the new channel, we'll re-export it at 720p.

I completely understand that moving channels and editing the most recent episode has been a lot of work and you may not have had time to do this yet, I'm just wondering if it's still being planned at some point in the future. Act 4 Part 11 is also limited to 480p by the way.

Also, the prophet of the Secret Wizard was really awesome.

Edit: and the mushroom farmer...and the snack vendor...and basically all the salamanders.

[Atarlost]

Wow. I missed more than half of that flash before.

[Argie]

Oh my goodness. That Obama impression was the best American politician salamander since Elbridge Gerry Also the chanting from Kanayamander the Secret Wizard storyteller, that was awesome.
