    When the Seagulls Cry
    Episode Four - Alliance of the Golden Witch

    Cast:

    Music and SFX: Umineko no Naku Koro ni VN


    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhN4VExtK5w"]YouTube- When the Seagulls Cry FINALE Unofficial Animation (English dub)[/ame]
    Download

    Filesize: 23.1mb
    Format: avi
    Runtime: 7:16, though the last minute is credits that I couldn't cut or it'd end abruptly


    Well, when I got into Umineko, I knew right away I wanted to get a couple scenes fandubbed. However, I wasn't happy with the anime. But then someone showed me this. This is a fan-animation of the final scene between Battler and Beatrice in the first series, and it's so much more emotional than what DEEN has produced so far. A friend got me in touch with Fairuza, and she agreed to play Beatrice. Thus, this clip was born. I'm so happy with it--it's the first clip I've really mixed from scratch, and I think it turned out pretty good. Fairuza did a fantastic job as Beatrice, and I enjoyed playing Battler.

    Note: The subtitles were impossible to remove. No raw exists. If I cropped it, it'd be even more obvious. Just ignore them, please.

    ShiroKaisen: I think you could've used a little more emotion during the first part (like, when Battler started talking), but I think your voice fits him really well. The softness to it really helped in the later parts.

    Fairuza: I thought you did wonderfully +_+ Really nice delivery and the contrast between Beatrice in the beginning and end was brilliant; well done~

    Mixing: Knowing what I know about how you edited it, I'd say you did a pretty good job. However, I'm no expert in visual editing, so my opinion might not hold that much salt >.>; I did notice that the rain SFX suddenly stopped while Beatrice was speaking though.

    Gets better everytime I watch it =)

    Battler (ShiroKaisen) - I find that your voice can be placed pretty much anywhere, which is always a great thing. Your emotions fit with the face and I think you've got Battlers character to a T.
    Beatrice (Fairuza) - Your emotions were fantastic! The voice was chosen very well. You did a great job at portraying what Beatrice was dying.

    Very good job both of you =)

    Mixing - The final product is clearly the best test that came out of mixing this. The mouth flaps are perfect and sound effects and BGM fit nicely. I still think the Truth SFX could have been slightly lower, but that's definitely not a big deal.

    I really thought that this clip came out really awesome. I really enjoyed your delivery for Battler. After watching the japanese dub and then watching this fandub I really think that you nailed down his inflection and tone very nicely.
    The mixing was very nicely done as well. It was an honor to work with you on this clip. I had a blast and would love to work with you once again in the future!

    For an unofficial animation, that’s really impressive animation. Haha.

    Mixing: With the little knowledge I know of mixing, great job on it. Bgm, sfx, was right on. The rain sfx seemed to disappear at 3:32, though it came back 3:37, but still, really no complatints.

    ShiroKaisen: You have a great voice for Battler, emotions were great too; really fitted this character.

    Fairuza: The emotions were absolutely amazing. Like Jess Chan said, the difference in the beginning and end was great.

    I enjoyed every second of this. Great job!

    I haven't seen this anime before, so my critique is based solely on the clip. For a fan made version of an official anime this looks really well done.

    ShiroKaisen as Battler: Your first line sounded normal, and how I am used to hearing you. In almost all of the rest of your lines you adopted a lower pitch, and your voice and the delivery didn't sound natural to me. Additionally, I don't think your voice suited the character. He seems that he'd have a slightly deeper and more arrogant voice based on appearance, and his dialogue.

    Fairuza as Beatrice: Emotion was pretty good, but there were a couple of times when you I had a bit of trouble understanding you. Even though she's suffering, the dialogue needs to be clear.

    Mixing and timing: I thought the mixing and timing was done really excellently. The only thing that was a bit distracting was the sound effect for the rain. The rain disappears about every minute and eleven seconds, for a moment when the loop for your rain sound effect ends. Otherwise, I thought the mixing was really really great.
