Special Demonstrations ver1.1 #06: Mushihimesama Futari BL (God Mode - NAK, 7.18bil ALL, Reco)

This is a re-release of the original Special Demonstrations #06 replay, except:
- the annotations (which were lost when YouTube removed the Annotations system from their services) are now burned into the video,
- the video is now in 1080p 60fps, and
- the design of the video layout is now updated to match more recent releases in the series.

These are the Special Demonstrations, a series of high quality replays by some of the best shooting game players out there, donated by the players themselves. As with the past SD releases, the motto is "great players deserve high quality replays", and I hope to continue that with every successive release.

The series is captured by the players themselves, and the raw footage is then processed by myself using Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor into something that hopefully resembles a commercial replay release.

SD #6 was a little surprise. CHI, a good friend of mine and one of my Stunfest travelling buddies, visited Japan for a concert in December 2013. While he was there, he met up with our many friends from Stunfest who both travelled over and organised the show. When CHI got back, he told me NAK gave him a copy of this replay, which I asked for a copy of, because I wanted to see it.

Well, lo and behold, I find the original copy that NAK gave him in my post box a week or so later. After watching it, I asked NAK via social media if he'd be okay with working with me on an SD release, and after thinking about it for a bit, he agreed, and we set off to work.

This edit was a bigger challenge than it needed to be, mainly because the original replay on the disc had a problem with a red colour cast that needed to be removed and neutralised before actual proper processing could occur. It took a while, but with a combination of avidemux and Final Cut Pro, I managed to almost completely neutralise the red cast in the video and rebalance the colour so that it is back to original colour levels. The rest of the edit was easy.

Many thanks to NAK for working with me on the replay, and to Keiko, our mutual friend, for helping NAK out with the translation of his commentary script to English. Thank you both for your hard work, and hopefully we can work together on more edits in the near-future!
