still trying to figure out how you edited the plates in The Mythsters Reloaded to say "Mythsters" so cleanly. amazing work
Thanks! Sometimes I get a little ambitious with the visual gags and make them higher-effort than they deserve, but this one was actually much simpler than it looks! Just a video mask with a feathered seam.
You can see the video this effect was done for here (appears at 1:17)
When this effect appears again at 5:43, the seam takes on a different shape because the straight line would give it away.
After those two turned out so smooth, I thought it'd be funny to fully break the illusion when the bumper happens a final time at 6:23. The stop-motion toy cars just become fully cut off when they drive past the seam, making the edit painfully obvious.
(Video shortened from 1h to 5min because Tumblr wouldn't let me upload it LOL)
We were joking on Discord about what it'd look like if Tails just kept repeating himself over and over... here's the result after a lil bit of editing (Had to freeze Sonic after the first loop, he shifts slightly every time)
Additional bit from one of my viewers who just stumbled onto the video on Youtube with no idea about any of this:
Additional note:
I have been trying. To upload this damn video. Since 6pm yesterday. BUT TUMBLR KEPT EATING IT
Anyways yeah even though the original was under 500mb it kept failing to upload so I shortened it to 5mins lol
