Stills Of Animation

Finishing off the title sequence, I needed to add the title of the Film to make people know what they are watching. After this scene it would fade to black and then the movie would begin, but with real video footage.

I added a few extra effects which was from a plug-in called particular, to give the title sequence a more moving and entertaining title. I also created these effects because there would be similar effects in scenes when they are travelling through Europe.

As the car looks like it is moving forward, due to the wheels rotating and the scene moving, but it looks boring without any buildings or props, so I added the famous buildings which would be visited in the film by the characters who are in the car.

This is now the main part of the title sequence. The wheels rotate round as if the car was moving and the hedge and road move to the left constantly to also give it the effect that the car is driving forward.

I scaled the scene down, so that it would zoom into the Tv screen. When the scene is being scaled down the Tv starts to blur out into the main part of the title sequence.

I created a spot light on the composition layer, where I then moved it left to right to make it look like there was a light swinging in the room, hanging from a wire. I downloaded all of the images from www.cgtextures.com and I edited them in Photoshop and added a drop shadow on most of the textures.

The Animation - Finding Cindy

This Animation was created using Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Adobe After Effects CS4, for the storyboard unit. I create this animation for the storyboard unit where I had to make a a title sequence. I decided that I would make a comedy style title sequence which is similar to eurotrips, but also unique. The animation that I made has been re-edited from the first draft, as the title sequence seemed to go on for alot longer than aimed to be. This video shows in under a minute some activities which would occur in the film.

If I had a longer time on this unit I would have added more effects and maybe used 3D, to make the title sequence look more professional. I would have also included a bit of video to make it look more like a real title sequence.

Title Sequence Research

Eurotrip - The reason for uploading this title sequence is because, the story of my film is similar to the film eurotrip. I like the way they do not use any actual video footage in the trailer.

Bedtime stories - This is a good way to show a title before the film as the film is about storys and then use a book to tell the beginning. The reason I have used this in my research because I want to make a title sequence which looks like it is made of paper or animated in 2d.

Enchanted - I have picked this title sequence as it is also similar to the bedtime stories title.
