🎉 Takeshi's Castle Extended
Happy New Year!
I'll start by saying that if you're only interested in full original episodes, this is not for you 👋
2022 marks the 20th anniversary of Takeshi's Castle in the UK! Which is terrifying. BUT! I thought I'd mark the occasion, by 'rerealsing' the very first episode - this time with all of the game footage that was cut added back in. A special anniversary extended edition! With a little refresh and update too.
This is how a lot of us would have liked to have seen it, with none of the games cut, and still with Craig. So, if you're one of those people, enjoy!...

Re: 🎉 Takeshi's Castle Extended
This would also work for a late Series 1 episode where the music was removed, seeing as we now have access to those original episodes now.
I kind of skimmed this one, but what I watched looked really good

That's weird 🤔
Here's a backup that should work for you:

I was thinking that, but sometimes layering the two tracks of audio over each other creates a weird echoey effect, so it may not work too well. Certainly might give it a go sometime though.

Re: 🎉 Takeshi's Castle Extended
Yep the backup worked. Great work Dan, well done
Funnily enough I was thinking about the 20th anniversary not long ago. Scary it’s been nearly 20 years, but I’m honoured I discovered the show right from the beginning

Oh yeah, it would absolutely have to line up perfectly

Re: 🎉 Takeshi's Castle Extended
I finally got a chance to watch this! Great job as ever Dan. Those extra guard bits make it feel so much more “whole”, makes me sad again that TC unedited with Craig never happened.
Honestly the whole thing felt new to me for the most part because it’s been awhile, it’s definitely weird that he had some of his lines down from the start (“I’m innumerate”, “happy clappy chappies”, “laying on of hands”, etc.). Also interesting seeing the slightly tweaked version of his Wipe Out explanation and not yet calling Popcorn the Rainbow Warriors. I know I just said most of the episode felt new, but did you add a couple of Craig’s lines in where there used to be nothing? Totally possible I just forgot a couple of lines being there, but curious.
Still love the new graphics and like what you did with the credits having fails over them, kind of a more time-efficient Flashback. I feel like that’s more likely what they would do with the credits if they were editing this show today. The pacing felt different without the coming up segment (even though there wouldn’t be a break anyway!), but it makes sense to ditch it considering there aren’t any ads anyway I guess I’m just used to that denoting the halfway point even though I’ve literally never watched TC with ad segments haha.
Also never realized how successful the women were in this episode!

Re: 🎉 Takeshi's Castle Extended
Nope, I didn't add any extra from Craig! It took long enough as it was, I couldn't go searching for more lines to match up
Yeah, I was surprised how many of his catchphrases were there right from the start too. The majority of them really! Was just missing wazzock and as my old dad... But they didn't turn up until well into the second series.

Re: 🎉 Takeshi's Castle Extended
I figured that, just ones of his lines in Rice Bowl in particular sounded out of place/delayed to me. Not that anything sounds off when you edit, but it just felt like it wasn't meant to be there. Well, we know Craig was sometimes quiet and lacking enthusiasm in the first episodes so it makes sense anyway
Glad to hear the episode had good timing on Twitter - I was mildly surprised at the view count considering this isn't YouTube and I doubt 100+ people would've read this thread at the moment, so that makes more sense. I do hope it at least stays up here for a long time. I think I remember hearing somewhere else that Rumble is one of the better places these days to post things without them all getting taken down and/or copystriked

Re: 🎉 Takeshi's Castle Extended
Well, isn't this nice? I was thinking about the 20th anniversary too, so had been working on something myself. Well, I say 'work', I mean slapdash cut and paste with my limited skills which remain largely stuck in the KHE era. Put it this way, if this episode and its old graphics, new style is Windows 11, what I've been doing is Windows Vista - The system I was using when I voiced VS Arashi, itself over a decade ago, jeez...
It's an attempt at a 'remaster' of the Takeshi's Castle Fusion special Messup and me did a while back. With the 'old graphics' and the Unseen titles. And I re recorded a few lines and made up a couple of new ones to fill in some gaps, which make me sound tinny on the headset mic I'm now using. Oh yeah, get me, down with the kids.
