Touhou Sketches YSE

Director's Commentary: • Touhou Sketches YSE Co...
Note: Since I know somebody will mistake this for beats0me's stuff, I'll let you know this is only a fan homage. Though, beats0me did help develop the skits from 7:22 onward (not counting the stinger).
Note 2: I am aware of the dropped frame at 2:13, and there doesn't look like an easy way to fix it. It doesn't show up in the editor and renders seem to randomly keep the frame or drop it, and since rendering takes two hours and uploading takes another two, it just wouldn't be worth fixing. (The same can be said about the misspelling in the Resurrection Butterfly text.)
Note 3: I am aware Youmu eats the smaller Pocky in the M1 Grand Prix skit, but I had originally planned to recreate the ENTIRE M1 skit, only with one change: when Youmu asks to stick to the smaller pocky, Yuyuko rejects it and menacingly says, "That's what we're building up to!" Of course, this bumped up the runtime WAAAAY past twenty minutes. I may show the full version in a future sketch.
Well, folks, this is it: my first Walfas-related video, clocking in at a whopping fifteen minutes long. Although this is mostly inspired by beats0me (who I must credit for inspiring this thing and... well... other things...), all of the skits here seem to run the gambit from blunt a-caveman-can-get-it jokes to obscure Touhou in-jokes. What's even crazier is I must have cut at least fifteen more minutes worth of sketches to cut it down to a digestible size.
The animation style is nothing like you've seen before, but not that it's a good thing (or a bad thing if you like it). Where most people do frame-by-frame videos and some better Walfas create.swf users do animation (and this video features both at some points), I do what I call "Walfas Puppetry"; the act of binding keys to synch mouth/eye movements and then use them to move the characters.
Also, I'm not using text boxes; I'm going for original voice acting, which I find easier (and more fun) than positioning text boxes all day. (I already spend enough time doing that with annotations, but at least I can change those.)
When I do another episode, it won't be in the style of beats0me's typical credits. Plus, I'm wanting to shoot for more original content than just "Yuyuko's Recipe For Instant Comedy Gold" (see the episode to find out what it is). Also, I'm planning to do another full character related episode eventually (most likely revolving around Chen since I have a few ideas already), but I need time to recharge my batteries (and next time, it'll be more polished).
And, of course, the sound clips in this video are short low-quality snippets used for non-profit purposes. All copyrights belong to their respective owners and usage of these short and low-quality snippets are (theoretically) protected by Fair Use. (And besides, don't you think it's kind of asinine if one video gets blocked for an eight-second clip of a song while somebody else posts the whole song in CD quality and gets completely ignored?)
And if you really want to know, my Walfas DNA is 3.39:Spaz:100:225:134:216:209:2:0:0:0:136:0:42250D, which is based on an actual outfit of mine. Just be wary about using him this early, because he's barely had one line.

blara2401 Don't see the joke here.

[@starforce9740]

+adam001_- I was actually asking what ghosts had to do with sexual orientation .

[@blara2401]

StarEmblem97 It's a comparison of probability. Sakuya tells her she's as credible as a ghost she is as a heterosexual ; which, given her fandom image of a lolicon, is highly understandable.

[@hleghe810]

StarEmblem97 So basically, sakuya doesn't think yuyuko was actually a ghost (for some reason). This means she compared it to a similar (in her eyes) peice of information, her being straight. Even if yuyuko was a ghost, this was her claiming homosexually

[@hleghe810]

@beats0me Actually, my remedy for voice acting is green tea and Halls mints. I just made that joke at the end since my voice is vastly lower than the characters. Again, thank you thank you thankyouthankyouthankyou for participating in this. I'd say those final two skits were probably the best in the episode; especially the adlibs. (And Cirno struggling to pronounce Saaaaiiii-giiii-yuuuu-jaaaayy was waaay funnier than I expected.)

[@Spaztique]

It was my first time using .png images to animate, and my old technique was to use a chroma key filter with Cirno against a green screen, but chroma key filters can sometimes be finicky if the images don't match up. These days, I cut out the green/blue screen in an image editor.

@TheIshizawa In the Objects menu, you'll find a bunch of detached arm objects. Just set your character's arms to None and then attach the arm objects. Also, to everyone else, I've gotten started on another (shorter) episode, which won't focus on a particular character (but another character-centric one will be coming soon).

[@Spaztique]

@Donqco I know she killed herself. I actually know quite a lot about Yuyuko: the daughter of a famous poet who wrote a lot about cherry blossom, her powers over death made her go mad and she decided to kill herself. Her body was then used to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi, presumeably by Yukari Yakumo and because her powers of causing death canceled out the youkai cherry tree's power of soliciting death. As a result, she is now trapped in the Netherworld forever... Yeah, I did the research.

@MiniWitch3 In the description, I mention I binded the mouth/eye keys to puppet the voices, but to be more exact, I used Camstudio to record the video using the Camstudio Lossless Codec, then I had them re-converted to another codec in Vegas to prevent artifacts, then I pieced them all together in the video you see here. I was thinking of doing a commentary track for it after 2000 views, but if you want me to make it sooner, just ask.

[@Spaztique]

@Donqco It's the "Sword in dirt" object since there were no mounds of dirt without swords, and I was too new at the time to make a new object. Besides, what's wrong with an extra sword to make sure she stays dead?

[@Spaztique]

You can buy them from doujin reseller shops like JBox and Paletweb (you may have to use both in case their stock runs out), and you can occasionally find them at anime conventions at reseller merch booths. Translation patches are linked on Touhou wiki. It is impossible for me to recommend playing the Touhou Project games more than I already can.

@halohell100 I'm still working on a Monty-Python-esque sketch series and Touhou Sketches: Chen Edition, plus I promised someone to make an Alice edition, but I'll put that on queue, too. The reason the next video is taking so long is because I'm getting voices from a bunch of other actors, but the sad thing about getting others to do voices is that I can't instantly have them (which is one reason I liked doing the voices alone). As soon as I recover from my cold, I'll do the uncasted voices.
