Today I started working on the FX clip that I have been most worried about. I'm changing the text on something that is constantly in motion, changing direction, folding, slightly rotating, etc. I had several ideas on how to do it, but I really wasn't that confident that any of them would produce a seamless, professional result. There's too much motion blur for me to do any automatic tracking. And since this clip is integral to this fan edit, its really something that I've been worrying about. I've been procrastinating even attempting it since I started a year and a half ago. Back then I definitely didn't have the skills to pull it off.

I've been working on it for the last 5 hours, and just got to the point where I could partially render a half second of the clip, and I'm happy to say it's looking great! I still have probably another 12+ hours that I need to devote to it before it's perfect, but I'm so relieved that it's working that I had to tell somebody.

Back to work!
