I've just gone in, frame by frame, and entirely reanimated a 3-second shot.

It's a shot from Calvert's cut, a wide shot of the Nurse, Yumyum and Tack. In Calvert's version, the Nurse is insulting Tack for no reason right after he's fixed her glasses. I needed this shot to show the Nurse walking out of the room.

So I reanimated the Nurse's face to have a calm expression as she walks away. I used three frames from a closeup of her with her glasses (a Williams shot sticking out like a sore thumb in this Calvert mess), and just cycled them. I also fixed some of Calvert's shooting errors - frames of Yumyum misplaced suddenly on the pegs, bits of dust ...

I could have only used part of this shot, but decided to reanimate the whole shot, because at the end of it, Yumyum starts talking, and her lips match up perfectly, timingwise, with her saying "Cobbler?" It worked quite well.

(EDIT: Looks like I reanimated more of it than I needed to, too - I've cut out a bit of it for the timing of the edit.)

A lot of work, but I think it's worth it - this is EXACTLY how I wanted to edit the scene, and now I can. It's much much more Williams-y now.

This replaces another shot I had reanimated for the rough cut, a closeup of Yumyum saying "Cobbler?"

I've reanimated/altered most of the shots in this scene now ... it's unrecognizable from what it was. I'm quite proud.
