WINNING.

Unlike the last video, this one was done completely sober.  My goal is always to learn something new with each PMV, and this time around I started using masking, and rotoscoping.  I've got quite a bit to learn yet, but hey!  Progress is Magic.

Thanks to all the bronies who previewed bits of this in the Filly and Filly2 Synchtube rooms, and thanks a bunch to Nirvash for providing the mumble server (DerpyMail.org - http://www.DerpyMail.org ) that a bunch of random discussion / ideas came from!

PS: Just because Nirvash always needs more love, if you want an email address with derpymail.org, send an email to reg@derpymail.org and get set up!


Original song: Songify This - Winning - a Song by Charlie Sheen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QS0q3mGPGg

Video sources: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Season 1, and LOTR #3

Art sources: I have no idea.  I raided my Pony Pix folder, and most of them have nonsensical names.  If your art appears in this PMV and you would like credit, please contact me so I can give proper credit!

Here's what the Vegas file looks like, as well as how the masking job looks for Fluttershy and Pinkie:

Yes, all those points are placed by hand.  There's no magic wand tool.  Yes, you have to do that for -every single frame- of the animation.  Masking something like the picture frame behind Twilight is easy.  This stuff is...time consuming.
