Where do I even begin with this episode? The raws out there for this episode all look like dog shit because half of the episode is dark as hell. We had to filter the shit out of it in order to get it looking decent.
Encoder’s Log
Due to the dark scenes in this episode, we had to crank up the aq-strength and CRF in order to preserve any gradients and details. But, we didn’t want to make the file size absurdly large, so we split the file into ten different sections and encoded all of them separately. The total file size is 544 megabytes, but if we were to encode the entire episode with the high quality settings that we used to preserve the dark scenes, the total file size would have been 1,341 megabytes. That’s a 60% reduction in file size for the same exact quality. I don’t think it gets any better than that.

Wait, that’s Elcea(or w/e you spell it)?!
Kyon would disagree:< I like it though…
