Creating a title sequence for my show reel.

Today, using after effects, I decided to 'animate' a intro of my name and specialities for my show reel and website.  I chose this font ( trajan pro) as it is clear to read, the use of  serif adds slight delicacy, connoting my care for detail.  It also signifies creativity, but with its spacious lettering that is thin and tall, and almost bold, it gives off a professional look. I choose to have white a background as white has symbolism of fresh, pure, innocent and clean. I want to give off positive, trusting and professional vibes. If I had more time I would done a 2D animation name intro, but a simply ran out of time management. Perhaps I can add a logo In the background to give some colour to make it more creative and interesting.

'The television Genre Book'

In-text: (Creeber, 2015) Your Bibliography: Creeber, G. (2015). The television genre book . 3rd ed. London: British Film institute. in early tv era, animation was dismissed as 'illustrated radio', 'animated programming had to adapt to much-reduced budgets and ultimately, drew more heavily  on heavily on comparatively minimalist contemporary idioms in graphic design and art.' p.177 'with its oft-repeated  and limited movement cycles, Hanna- Barbera created animation which was necessarily more  character- and performance-driven and relied on witty scripts and amusing vocal deliveries.' p.177 '(with the success of his shows) Joe Barbera was justified in his view that 'kids don't give darn if there is 4000 or 40,000 drawings, so long as the entertainment is there" (cited in Wells, 2007) ' p.177 'animation has flourished and is increasingly recognized as an extraordinary vers...
