I have been working on an idea for a video series. Here is one of the trailers for the project. Feel free to add ideas of what you might want to see covered and I'll see what I can do. Its a work in progress. Thanks.

Couple of observations:

 

Typefaces / Fonts - Use only a few different typefaces (2-3) and don't very their form. For example, don't take a typeface and make it 3D extending in one direction and then make it 3D in another direction. Don't make it skinnier, etc. Too much variations in typefaces isn't a good thing. Even varying the color too much or too frequently isn't the best. I think at one point you had a red and blue colored typeface that varied in the 3D effect and the angle on the screen. It's busy and can be too distracting. Type is there to compliment the view and subtly notify the viewer to be aware of something, not dominate it.

 

The music transition was somewhat abrupt. More than likely it's because this is a quick edit. But be keen on the music transitions and how it affects the overall mood. This one was a bit abrupt.

 

That aside the videography is nice, shots are clean, edits are good (you didn't go overboard using every edit you can, which was a good idea).

 

Not a bad start. Can't wait to see the final production.

Sapere aude.

Audeamus.

When you cannot measure, your knowledge is meager and unsatisfactory.

Thanks for your observations, Haskell. Points well taken. As with anything it is all subjective to how it is interpreted. I realized after rendering this that the titling was too varied for the short piece. Sometimes the quest for doing something different goes too far from the rules. To think I took Graphic Arts in high school...

 

The music is too loud to start. A delay between the changes would have helped to a degree in slowing it down and speeding it back to the action. As mentioned it is a work in progress and I welcome any and all input. Thanks again.
