Chalmers goes to Skinner's home for an unforgeable luncheon, not realizing he went to Lenny's house by mistake. Hilarity ensues.

For context, I'm not doing this video to try and cash in on a four year old meme as I'm typing this; though it does still seem to be going on to an extent. I remember seeing a specific "Steamed Hams, But..." video around 2018 (link below), which while fairly simplistic in its editing, was humorous if not for the ending alone. I wanted to produce a remake of that video with higher quality footage and proper masking to help enhance the original videos vision.

Original Video (by guigal2): youtube.com/watch?v=hvvb-7lxtPk

I originally started editing this video around March/April 2020, and was close to finishing it before my previous laptop's hard drive abruptly died on me, meaning I had to start this project from scratch. It was actually for the best, since there were some things I missed the first time, and it gave me the chance to both improve the cropping and timing of this video.

*Production Notes: (It's pretty lengthy)*

* I originally had a difficult time cropping Chalmers at the beginning, since the original footage would keep moving, so I had to repeatedly work on the timing so his movements would be corrected.

* I briefly cropped Ned's mouth from a different scene while he said "perfect" so his other movements (mainly his arms) were consistent with the scene; I also had to layer Ned's hand over his cropped mouth as well. It's barely noticeable; I think I did a really good job making it look natural.

* I'm still getting used to the 3D aspect (with the house crashing on Chalmers), so it can look wonky when it's slowed down. Otherwise than that, it looks fine when played normally.

* The most time consuming part of the video was when I had to work on both the arm cast, and the background so it looked like part of the original episode:

With the cast, I found a picture of the cast, but realized that was too long for his arm (Chalmers arm was too short, given the odd angle), so I literally cut and spliced two different parts of the cast together to look more natural. It's not perfect, but I think it came out well all things considered. I also cropped the bottle so it was layered over the cast. I would also spend time placing the cast in the proper place while Chalmers was moving his arm/the camera moved.

The second half that took forever to work on was Skinner's head changing near the end, since I not only had to crop the original head out of that scene, add/crop another head from a different scene and layer part of his body over it, but I also fix the door behind him as well. I achieved this by copying and cropping different parts of the door and pasting it over the missing parts of the original video so it looked complete. It's slightly off then what I'd preferred, but I could only do so much.
