Moonrise Productions – Final Intro

A7 — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:00:31 +0000

Edit: I’ve posted the final version.

Notable updates to this version include a proper full 15 second animation, updated mountains, more “shine”, and a fade out at the end to reveal just the company name. Note that the music is just a temporary filler until the proper music is written.

(Original post)
I put together a rough (yet completely polished) draft of the intro video for Moonrise Productions (the company Dave is releasing his short film under). It is actually a 15 second intro, just like the Hotcakes “chomp” intro, but it got sped up a bit when I exported, and the YouTube version loses a lot of detail (like the sparkling letters). The final High Definition version will be a full 15 seconds. Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas for improvement!

Hotcakes New Media: Animated Intro

A7 — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:56:04 +0000

In case you haven’t heard, I’ve been getting a number of calls lately for video work, including editing a feature film shot on Red, and producing a docu-drama for the Ontario Parole Board. I’m also in the process of putting together my “client spotlight” pieces that will be featured on the Hotcakes website. I found that I needed to create my little animated intro, similar to the “20th Century” spotlight intro, or the Dreamworks “kid fishing on the moon”. Here’s what I came up with:

I have a few other ideas I might incorporate, but so far, I like the simplicity and light-hearted nature of it.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thoughts?

HOTCAKES NEW MEDIA IS HERE!

I promised you all something big, so here it is! I invite you to visit Hotcakes New Media, my new video production and design company. There is still a bit of organization left to do before I start taking contracts (getting a business bank account, setting up accounting, and awaiting delivery of my new lighting and chromakey kits) but everything is registered and well underway.

Today marks the official launch of Hotcakes New Media.
