an edit.

Storyboard

in this edit, I want to explore how love influenced the events of Arcane S1.

It’s not true
Tell me I’ve been lied to (silco confronting powder) Cryin’ isn’t like you Ooh (should show both vi and cait here) What the hell did I do? (cait helping vi up after sevika type) Never been the type to (add cupcake dialogue) Let someone see right through
Ooh (show jinx looking at cait and vi)

(can show jinx and ekko as kids vs now) Maybe won’t you take it back?
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothin’ has to change today
You didn’t mean to say, “I love you”
I love you and I don’t want to
Ooh

Total time taken to edit: 4-5 hours?

I think I actually spent more time figuring out how to make the text zoom with the background than actually putting the edit together (both around 2 hrs…). But for future reference, here’s the workflow:

  1. Open the relevant clip in Fusion.
  2. Use “Planar Tracker” to track some surface in the video. If we just need zoom, we can just select “TRS” for the tracker settings.
  3. To zoom some text along with this, we can choose “Corner Pin” to place a screen into the background.
  4. Also to make the text appear between the background and the foreground, we have to make a copy of the video with the background removed. I used wide.video for this, but there might be a better alternative to this in the future.

Also, dissolves (cross/dip to color) seem to be pretty nice for soft songs like this!
