To change the routine of learning quadruped animation I've worked on the title opening sequence. Quite simply , using after effects, I tried to make a nice introduction of the title. Having in mind the animation is talking about intricacies of our mind/soul I tried to build relatively surreal and dreamy feel to the sequence. I suppose,and again, having the title quit early on will be usefull for other videos such as character turnarounds ect.
and the revisited title:
Feedback from Phil:
ReplyDeletethere's something about the adult, sophisticated, rather edgy tone of the film that doesn't somehow suit the branding/font of The Wolves Within - I'd suggest the tone and feel of the film is less 'carved from wood' and 'cosy' - which is implied by the current branding - and is actually moving towards something more minimal and a bit ominous-seeming - it also feels wrong now in terms of colour palette - your world is more cool, blue, black and glow, than 'warm, wood, and soft' - what do you and Leo think?
Yes I think I agree with Phil on this one, the title feels a little too bright and perhaps not ominous enough with a sense of tone and atmosphere. Perhaps the colour and brightness needs to be darker as appearing from the mist of darkness? I also think 'The Wolves Within' should appear together as one, as well as read on one line as it feels the balance and emphasis is lost.
ReplyDeleteI got your point :] and agree. So do you think the design of the title should also be rethought, or just the colour pallet ?
ReplyDeleteUm not sure, maybe try the colour pallet first and see? Otherwise some subtle tweaks could be in order, perhaps to do with the thickness of the lettering so it has a less rounded form and something more angular to invoke a more mysterious feel.
