Creating the Title Animation...

(created by Bradley)
I produced our company logo/name animation for the beginning of our opening sequence in conjunction with a friend of mine. we both advised each other on improving our groups original design ideas and helped each other out with operating the design software(adobe after effects), this is what me and my friend produced:



We used a simple design of text for our production company name(ChairEdge studios) which is in viner hand font and a maroon colour.

The text is an overlay ontop of what appears to be a layer of glass that has been misted over, with the vague image of a bloody hand coming through the misted glass, this effect was achieved by creating a light blue colour layer with a light placed appropriately behind it, to which another darker layer was placed behind with the bloody handprint on top.

the text(our production name) is placed on glass, which appears to be smashed by our production logo(the 6 fingered bloody hand) which is both original but yet intriguing as the hand has 6 fingers on it, something which only eagle eyed audience members will spot. This idea is an original one and is a conventional feature of most horror films of this type.

The smashing of the glass and therefore our production name, makes the transition into the next clip/sequence of the opening sequence very easy to create and perfect into a flowing motion because the smashing of glass will slow down, and create a nice ending to this part of the sequence, the transition will be achieved by either a fade out from the smashing to a black credit or an actual filmed clip, depending on which looks better in the edit stage(something to be discussed in one of our group meetings).
