Okay, folks, let’s talk about “derrick lewis my balls was hot.” I’m going to walk you through the whole thing, start to finish, just like I experienced it.
The Setup
First, picture this: It was a scorching hot day. I mean, ridiculously hot. I had the idea to create some funny content, a sort of tribute, meme, after seeing that legendary post-fight interview. I mean it’s instant classic, right?
The Sweat Begins
I started by gathering images of the fighter, and some other visual. I wanted the visual effect to be hot.
I opened up my trusty video editing software. I’m no pro, but I know my way around the basics. I imported the pictures and laid down the images on the timeline.
- Dragged and dropped that legendary clip of Derrick right in.
- Trimmed the clip, I only want the “my balls was hot” part.
- Adjusted the audio.
Fumbling Around
Okay, here’s where it got a little tricky. I wanted to emphasize the heat, you know, really sell the “hot balls” concept, but the first effects looked cheesy.
I played with fire effects, like the visual looks hot. Too much. It looked like I was trying too hard. Then I tried some heatwave distortion effects, which was getting closer, but it was still missing something.
Honestly, I spent a good hour just messing with different effects, deleting them, undoing things, and basically just clicking around until I found something I liked.
The Final Touches
I finally settled on a combination of effects: a subtle heat shimmer, some color correction to make everything look warmer, and a bit of a red tint. It’s all about layering, I guess.
Finally, I exported the whole thing. It’s short, sweet, and hopefully, to the point.
I upload it on social media, with title and description.
Done.
So, that’s the story. From a random, hilarious interview clip to a finished little meme. It was a fun, if slightly sweaty, afternoon project.
