Titles test
-
jemi 37 posts07 Apr 2008I'm doing a series of title exercises just to flex my brain outside of work.
Here's a quick test from tonight. Kind of inspired by the amazing titles from Dawn Of The Dead (2004).
If I were going to actually replicate the title from DOTD, I would probably film some ink on paper being blown around. Thats what I presume was done originally.
Comments, crits, and suggestions my next exercise? -
07 Apr 2008Hey man, I really like it. The only thing I would change is the dark red against the black really hard to see.

jemi 37 posts07 Apr 2008Thanks
Yeah, I suppose it may be a bit dark. My monitor is "ultrabright" which can be misleading. -

11 Apr 2008Hey, well it looks good so far...but it didn't originally appear to be blood to me.
I'd suggest maybe starting it off with more of a "splatter" effect? Right now it seems to be more of a whiping effect. Just getting some little drops that plop on after the blood splats down would really sell it....then having it whipe off works fine. -
Pierre 61 posts11 Apr 2008Nice work Jemi. Maybe a bit too dark and too quick?
Can you elaborate on the how to? -
jemi 37 posts12 Apr 2008Thanks ty, good points indeed.
Pierre: It all starts with a grescale mask image. A streak of paint/blood with a horizontal ramp on it. This then gets a brightness+contrast filter, with the contrast at 100. As you animate the brightness, you see a transition from right to left, as it hits each value range in the image. Just do this twice, one for in, one for out. The ending wipe-away was done by moving a splatter shaped mask that was red, and a copy of itself 2 pixels down-and-over that was black. This whole thing is on top of the text and masked by a rectagle around the text region. -
Pierre 61 posts13 Apr 2008I knew it didn't get there by itself. lol
Thank you jemi: clear explanation.
