Whoa! That's why Ayu never disappoint! She's an awesome person!
ALL for FANS! She's definitely one of the most Amazing people on this planet! And I can say it only about few people... (Jade Valerie is among them)

[TITANIC]

Thanks for the update..
hmm it sold less than 10K

[Fairily_Spark]

^ woo, the sales aren't too bad.
Hoping for another 70+K DVD

[aura~]

good sales I hope it will reahc also what past CDL did ^^

[truehappiness]

Wow.. I wonder if it'll hold up!

Watching the DVD version, it looks like they filmed it like the ARENA TOUR with a ton of HD cameras rather than the standard definition ones they usually use! Awesome.

[noidea]

all her concerts are recorded mostly with HD cameras, many concerts are recorded only with HD cameras, theres nothing special about it, we have HD recordings of many of her countdowns, CDL0506 was filmed completely in HD already, same goes for 0607,0708 and 0809(dont know about 0405) and we have a HD file of cdl0304 as well(but i havent watched it, so i dont know if its HD or a mixture between normal resolution and HD)
they always did that

[SolarAngel]

Wow, huge fall in sales. Somehow, i don't quite see it reaching 80k...

You can't tell the difference between her CDLs and PCDL?

There's a huge difference in the way things are picked up.. the nuances of the lighting are picked up better in the PCDL/ATs. If not the HD cameras, then something changed just specially for PCDL.

How do you know that they use HD cameras for the CDLs? I don't believe that they usually do that, since they make such a big deal about ~high definition cameras x 43~ when they do it for the ATs.

I think they use a different frame rate or something, so it looks more cinematic as opposed to.. uh.. whatever isn't cinematic, haha.

[noidea]

Its possible that they are recording in higher quality(the colors look better to me as well, especially GREEN/WILL, the colors are amazing!)

I know they use HD cameras because I watched HD files of them

[dreamland2.0]

@truehappiness: I think so too. The picture semmed to be much clearer, and not so 'concert like', if that makes sense. Her ATs are like this too. More like a movie.

I also noticed that... not only the quality of the image but also the way they record from diferents angles, the lights were impresive as if it were an AT, i have all CDL DVD's and any of the previous has all this perfection in all details... so many costumes, coreographies, all the changes of stage, the lighs (this was the first I noticed) and finnaly, as truehappines says, the way they edited the concert is so cimatographic, I love how everything is put together!


great CDL and grat DVD ^^ also with the best cover imo

[truehappiness]

I know they use HD cameras because I watched HD files of them

Does that make sense? Do you mean the TV recorded ones? I think they use different camera footage for the DVDs usually.

[noidea]

the second tv broadcast of CDL0607 used the DVD version in HD, Im watching No Way to Say from the second broadcast ATM and it has the same angles the DVD has(and the already edited audio), but its 1440x1080 with perfectly sharp image

i think the tv versions use the same cameras, less cameras, yeah, sure, there are some new angles in every dvd, but they use the same cameras because i see the same camera angles sometimes, they are just newly cut

[truehappiness]

I think the cameras are on different settings depending on the show then.

[noidea]

possible

I took a random screencap of nwts from CDL0607 for you to show you that its HD, took it in 1280x720(my comp doesnt show me more xD) and in the playing movie, so quality is not that good, but you can see that its hd and the same angle from the dvd

dont look at the left of the image, i first wanted to take another one and didnt notice that when i put 2 images over each other xD

[truehappiness]

I never said that the CDLs were never in HD, but the camera settings used were quite different for PCDL, is all.
