DescriptionIt's times like these the Moriya shrine questions why they picked Youkai Mountain for their home...

Since I've already done a beats0me tribute and Stevothehuman tribute, it's about time I pay homage to one of the most prolific walfasers out there (and a fellow music remaker): TheGapYoukai. This one was inspired by the "Kanako Vs. The Bird" series, linked below:

Production Notes:
I also used this video to experiment with a new image capturing software, AndySnap. If you saw my previous tutorial, I had a pretty long discourse on aligning images and anchor points, but AndySnap speeds up the process by automatically centering each time you hit Print Screen. So I was able to shoot this 93-frame sequence in little under an hour. Better yet, the images only take up 8.4 megabytes (as opposed to the 500+ megabytes of typical video), the video is super-sharp, and the render time was only two minutes. The only downside was I had to do all of the animation by hand: roughly six hours of positioning/lip-synching, compared to the typical twenty-thirty minutes with video.

So, here's my conclusion:
Camstudio Advantages: Waaay faster, smooth motion tweening within create.swf.
Camstudio Disadvantages: Lower-quality video (without the right codecs, at least), takes up more hard drive space, hard to do elaborate animations, harder to do high-motion video.
AndySnap Advantages: High-quality images, allows elaborate animations, takes up much less hard drive space, perfect lip-synching in post, more elaborate facial expressions.
AndySnap Disadvantages: FAR more time consuming in editing, choppier motion.
