5D’s 28 Dub-Uncut (WIP) - First They Smear You…

Happy with how this came out! After that bit of translation help the other night, I managed to transcribe and translate the entire smear piece Angela wrote about Yusei that Rally and co (and eventually Carly) were looking at, since I might be a bit too much of a perfectionist for a side project, haha.  But I figured I translated that Bommer email back in 21 so if I can, why not? 🤷🏽‍♂️ Had to take a few liberties in spots so I could fill in the space nicely, and tried to get my best “journalist” voice on as I did, lol.  Transcribed text and my original translation below the cut, if you’re curious.

I did do what I could to stitch this up together nicely, though I gave the Duel Stadium photo and the second headline next to it a slight rotation since it being off to the side a bit bugged me as I added the text; shouldn’t be much of an issue once I work it into the footage, since I’ll be masking in the original shot as the photo scrolls up.  That’s why I didn’t try to unblur the TV Domino/etc text at the bottom, since I’ll be masking in the original screen there above it.

Now comes the fun part–since the original shot zooms out while Rally scrolls through the article, I’m thinking it might just be a matter of zooming out the article and moving it with each keyframe with the monitor masked over it, but I’ll see what I can play with. 🤔

Bit of an update, but I spent some tonight after some Zooms (and getting GX 58′s script done this weekend [have one last quick quality-of-life animation fix to do there before getting onto 59]) getting started on working this translated article into the footage in Sony Vegas; after about 2 hours listening to a podcast or two, I’ve gotten 38 of 83 frames or so done!

Basically started by first zooming in at the top where it starts and zooming it out into position at the end of the shot, then going every few keyframes re-positioning the article and zooming it out gradually accordingly; not as hard as I thought it’d be to work it in, lol.  Now, what I’m doing is working off of a duplicate video track for the original shot and masking in the monitor’s sides and the rest of the shot over the article itself, which shouldn’t take too long over the next few days.  Once I do that, I might brighten/tint the article in a few frames for the blue light effect that was originally there, and I’ll also do something about the jitteryness I see in the one frame here and make sure it’s smooth throughout.

Thanks for the kind words, @waazuchan​! 😄🙏🏽 🙏🏽
