Intro animation change - Page 3 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

montitech · 05-14-2007, 09:16 AM

You may be able to view the eppisode online, check CN video for your county to see what episodes are availible. Many of the shorts are on CN UK and I can view them here in the States. but I know many places have issues accessing the CN US from overseas.

I would partially agree with Ditchy. but I have my own reasons for not being fond of Torrets. I personally prefer RAR formats, but I understand the Copyright, Bandwidth and hosting issues associated to them.

WinRaR is not free, but neither is WinZip. WinRaR can be downloaded and used as an evaluation copy, and it can continue to be used without registering. I have switched over to using it over the past few years because of the enhancements that it offers above WinZip.

AS for Torrets, they are complex. and they do require a bit more knowlege then using just anything. for torrets you first need a torret client. I use UTorret, but there are others. Some are a bit more complex to use than others. the key for using torrets is to make sure you turn off the torret software when you do not use them and ignore Warning messages if it is working. also make sure to give it 5 min to start working. when choosing if to download a torret or not, the big thing is How many Seeders, and how many peers. If the seeders are lets say more than 1/3 of the peers then it should not be bad to download. so take the # of peers and divide it by the number of seeders. if the number is less than 3 the time is not so bad. the eppisode took me 45 min to download at this 1:3 ration. do not base your choice on number of peers unless you are technical enough to make sure that the ports have been opened against your ISP and firewalls, and properly fowarded through your Router if you are on wireless network or hub.

Either way, WinRAR and Torrets allow you to download the file to view offline at High quality through a vidio player (provided you installed the CODEX). while utube and other online streams are lower quality and require bandwidth to the internet to watch.

And if this appears as a WinRAR file, I can't watch it either since WinRAR isn't free. What about uploading the credits to YouTube or even better, DailyMotion? I would really like to see the credits. And there is no hope for me to see it on CN for another year since I only get the Nordic version of CN. I can't find the credit sequence anywhere.

there is a free alternative to winrar. Try 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/

Just saw the opening credits tonight (5/18) and they've changed the first fifteen seconds becoming more colorful to say the least.

Chaos Wielder · 05-22-2007, 08:35 PM

Hmm...I haven't really noticed the change, actually. Maybe I need to pay more attention to the opening scene.

So the characters have been altered a bit, huh? I don't really know what else to say about that since I haven't really seen it, but change CAN be good, as we all know, so I'll probably like it.

Ok, now that I've seen "The Buck Swaps Here", I've finally seen the Season Five intro, and yeah, it has been spruced up. The most noticeable changes:

- The mansion is a little more ornate on the initial "draw-in", and the landscape is much sharper and more colourful
- Mac really bounces up those stairs now!
- The shot of Mac meeting Wilt is much smaller
- Ed's pupils and eyebrow are proportionally smaller, making his stare a bit more focused
- The shot of Mac meeting Coco is a bit bigger
- Frankie's finally been upgraded to her Season Two redesign, with the pronounced ears, larger eyes and without the dangly sideburn-thingies (what's the correct term for those?)
- Madame Foster's slower to wave, and Mr Herriman is slower to turn and point
- Bloo looks a lot bigger, as do his facial features, especially for his big smile as he turns around, and his leap onto Mac's head has a bit more oomph to it now
- Coco doesn't flap her mouth any more as she runs back and forth
- The title portrait is wider and lighter

Yes, I am a very, very sad man.

I guess once you've seen something about a hundred times, even the smallest changes become glaringly obvious...that's my excuse, anyway.

So she has; I wish I'd noticed that sooner. Bad fanboy! (smacks self in head)

Seriously though, I wonder why they chose now to redo the intro, and why they redid it at all. It does look better, granted, but it wasn't that big of a deal, at least in my book.

I like the animation change for the intro. It looks they use the character models from Season Two to Season Five.

InsaneFan · 06-04-2007, 08:00 AM

Also, Wilt takes two steps into the room at the end, instead of one big one. He kinda slides farther into the room.

Sadly enough, that was the one thing that made me notice "Hey! The opening is changed!" xD That's when I watched through it again and saw the rest of the little details.

Heh.

Chaos Wielder · 06-04-2007, 05:29 PM

Yeah, I finally noticed it today when I was watching "The Buck Swaps Here". I like the change, actually. It will take awhile to get used to, but it's still nice to look at. The designs seem to be overall improved and I also noticed that Eduardo is now smiling instead of looking neutral when Mac goes into the next room where he is. It's a nice little change.

I kinda like this new animation, but at the same time, I really miss the old one (especially at the part with Bloo; now he looks fat

)
