Chrono Trigger Trailer

[Cecil]

Here is the Chrono Trigger Trailer (http://www.illuminatedvisions.net/ct/ChronoTrigger_Trailer.ZIP)! *does a little celebration dance* YAY! Thanks everyone! More to come soon!

[Sukisho]

That was nice, and everyone sounded good though only complaint is that the pronuncations of Epoch and Ayla where wrong.

[Cecil]

I looked it up, Epoch can bepronounced either as E-pok or Eh-pok

And Ayla, that's how i have always pronounced it as well, how do you do it?

I looked it up, Epoch can bepronounced either as E-pok or Eh-pok

And Ayla, that's how i have always pronounced it as well, how do you do it?

Well usually it's Eh-pok. Ayla is Eye-la not A-la

[Cecil]

Noted, change from E-pok to Eh-pok. I don't know about this Eye-la...it's going to be a hard change to make because i love Ay-la *take a poll* jus add to your response either Eye-la or Ay-la which ever is picked the most i will succumb to, especially since I don't know what the majority calls her.

....it's pretty though...eye-la :oops:

can someone delete that message up there, it posted twice, thanks.

[Darth Mongoose]

You're sort of both wrong and both right actually.
Ayla's name in Japanese is Eira which would be pronounced 'Ae-rah', as it's written in English, I say it as 'Eye-la'. Epoch though is generally pronounced Ee-pock, though actually I pronounce it with a german/scottish 'ch' sound at the end (as is 'loch' or 'Munchen') Not everybody can say that sound. Masamune was pronounced wrong though, that's Japanese, so it's said: Massa-moo-neigh

As for about the production:
I love Marle's voice, it suits her well. And Robo's voice is great! Love the distortion. Ayla wasn't as fierce as I imagined her, but is pretty cool (and sex-y!) Lucca I think sounds chirpier than I imagine her, but meh. Frog's voice is good, but lacks expression sometimes.

...But Chrono talks!? What the!? CHRONO TALKED!?

You used music from Radical Dreamers as well as Chrono Trigger, which is great, I love the minimal, atmospheric music of RD and it really sounds great here! The mixing was good, no glaring problems, which means it's a good mix!
Diggin the 'Chrono Trigger!' thing at the end! That was cool! ^_^

[Cecil]

Thanks so much for the feedback! Appreciate it so much! I am, just so you know aware of some of these issues and they have already been taken care of, I wanted to mix so bad that I couldn't wait to have redos and since it was a trailer I figured it would be okay. It was so great to mix again! I love it! I hope you all love it and enjoy it! There is much more to come soon! Thankies and take care and thanks for the words everyone it is greatly appreciated!!

[Cecil]

Just out of curiousity did you not like that crono talked? I chose to have him speak since this is not the video game and you are not following his specific choices and stories. I like to touch on things that they just pop in and out and help create a deeper and more interesting story that way. We all know that if you didn't edit it in some was, video game scripts can be very bad. ^^ or at least in my opinion, some of those translations are awful

[Merr]

You're sort of both wrong and both right actually.
Ayla's name in Japanese is Eira which would be pronounced 'Ae-rah', as it's written in English, I say it as 'Eye-la'.
As for about the production:


Actually Ayla's name comes from some cheesy romance novel about a cave woman and her umm... "adventures." (please don't ask how I know this)

The name of the book escapes me now but I specifically remember that the name was pronounced A-la. Of course it really doesn't matter.

EDIT: According to my aunt it's called "The Clan of the Cave Bear"

[YdocNameloc]

I've always pronounced it Eye-la personally. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. A-la is just as good.

As for the trailer: Great job! I liked pretty much all of it. My only problem was with Frog's "ribbit" sound effect. I know it's from the game and all, and I think that worked for all the others. Since Frog is a character, I think the sound effect was either too low in volume or just too synthesized/fake to be able to easily distinguish it as a part of the character's normal speech. That's it. The rest was pretty awesome.

[Cecil]

thanks so much, the ribbit effect is noted, ill play around with it and see if i can come up with something better. thankies!

[Katie]

Ehh... so Ben plays Marle? That is one GOOD female imitation. XDDD

And I agreed, Ayla didn't really sound fierce enough... Sexy and feminine, yes. Cave woman, no.

[Aleema]

I included both pronunciations of Epoch (my first choice being eh-pok), but I left it up to Cecil to correct me. :) I loved everyone else in the production!

[Cecil]

it's cool, don't worry there is no right and wrong in this situation. ^^ my longman pronounciation dictionary says both are correct and I believe it over anyone and anything else, it is the bible of standard american and british rp speech. :D

[True_Blue]

I got into the game a few weeks ago and I just beat it today. This caught my eye and I thought I'd give it a listen. All of the cast did a great job and a job well done for staying in character. :)

Crono (ASW): Sounds pretty heroic to me. I rather like the idea of Crono talking. :)

Marle (Ben): Man, I didn't know that you were a guy until I read the credits. That is a very impressive imitation!

Lucca (Aleema): The voice fits her very well, especially the Frog part.

Robo (Maverick): Very impressive. Sounded just like a robot from the future.

Frog (ChronoCrossed): Very nice, I didn't have a clear idea of how a talking frog from the Middle Ages should sound. Now I do.

Ayla (Shannon): Sounds strong and sexy, just like she should be.

Magus (Ry-Guy): Evil voice, scary laugh (or maybe I have that in reverse), and sent shivers down my spine. I fear Magus a bit more now.

Cecil: The music, editing, and cast was very well done. I'd call this a success. Um, one question though: is this just a one-shot trailer or were you planning to do the whole Chrono Trigger game? :D

Again, everyone did a good job. I've taken a liking to this game and this trailer has gotten me to like it even more. Great job guys and gals!

[Cecil]

thanks so much! and I should clairify

MARLE is played by JULIANA

I must have made a mistake that's not in my .txt file. Sorry for any confusion.

This is going to be a full fledged production. In fact, Act 1, Scene 1 will be released within the next couple days along with the Anime Scenes from the PS2 remake.

:D

[True_Blue]

Heh, I was wondering about that. Well good job to Juliana then for playing Marle. :)

A full fledged production? Awesome! Freakin awesome! I look very forward to it when it comes out. This is pretty exciting! :D

[watermagic]

I've always prounouced the name All and then la or lu. So it threw me off when I heard the name. I really liked the trailer! ^^ I really liked how you chose to make Chrono talk because it would have been really odd having not.

[Lilium]

Magus' voice isn't sexy enough.. ;_; *lol, just kidding*

Aww, I was so hoping Frog would sound less nasal! Just kidding too.

Honestly though, I'm such a Magus fangirl, I drool at the sight of Magus so I'm obsessed with him having a sexy voice =3 His laugh is great and evil, but made him sound vaguely like some sort of crackhead O.o

Robo;s voice is great ! ^^

Ayla's voice needs tobe a little more gruff, methinks, but was well acted =3

I like Marle's voice ^^

Lucca sounds a little less nerd-ish than I imagined her....

Blah, I'm being nit picky!!

*goes away* O.o
