At 6:30 AM this morning, I awoke from my slumber with another fine idea for the title sequence project that I spent all day working on yesterday. I’ve been implementing this idea since 7:00 AM and it really has made the piece seem all the more realistic.

Considering I was completely satisfied with yesterday’s finished outcome, I am oh so incredibly happy with what I’ve done to it today. (Now it fizzes and sizzles!)

I am perhaps most pleased with this project because I took a fairly simple brief and aimed for something really high - something quite ambitious. And because of this it’s probably the only Racodac project that I’ve actually enjoyed working on. All the other briefs have been far too restrictive. In fact, the only other project that comes close is the end credits sequence I mentioned a couple of weeks back because of the starscape background that I put together.

I’m of the mind where if you want to achieve something, you should just go for it. And the fact that a fairly complex idea I had a week or so ago has ended up on screen looking EXACTLY as I imagined it really is rewarding. Especially given I consciously didn’t worry about technically being able to achieve my desired effects. Truth be told, I didn’t know how to do it - any of it. I just didn’t stop working until it looked like what I wanted. I’ve always worked like this where I can. But it feels more rewarding on this occasion because of how depressing some of the other projects have been.

I just hope it gets the laughs in the critique tomorrow. Although saying that, I’ve a feeling that one of my tutors will completely slate it anyway.

Sod them, eh?
