Animated Title

[Staino]

I have two titles I have been toying with the second may be overkill while the first is not quite "themed" enough... Well you decide.

or maybe they both suck :-[

I like the first one, maybe make it a little shorter.
Did you do this in After Effects ??? How did you make the pic at the beginning?

Staino, first of all, you have an intresting concept. Personally I thought it was a tad busy or too much bluring going on. As far as the speedomitar & chart menu thing, it needs something. What if possible if you can have the letters & numbers animated? Same goes with the speedomitar. The Impluse title is alittle hard to read. Maybe have the shine or blurs fade out or something. You should end it with a crisped look to the text. If you're using AE to do your title look at the animated text option for some inspiration. It's a good concept just keeping tweakin at it.

Thats what I was thinking bluespider is making the formulas on the screen written out or something, maybe a little eaiser to read. Its still a rough animation, getting feedback before progressing too far.

Mr. Tech, the design was created using paint shop pro and animated using keys in Vegas.

i might sound dumb, but what are keys ???

I think he meant keyframes. ;D

I like the red needle and I think it's easier to see in the first one. I agree with Bluespider, you need some more animated parts, probably speeding up as the engine revs faster, and try and do the whole thing in half the time.

Good start, everyone has good suggestions. The one that should be stressed is that it could absolutely be done in half the time.

This is true, I do intend to make it at least half as long, I always start projects at a snail pace to see if what I am getting is what I want then use a velocity to get the quicker reaction. Yes by keys I meant Keyframing. I intend to add text that spells itself out in the formula and other actions in behind. A better engine sound, as it gets faster maybe a wind action with the screen shaking. Basically I wanted to see if it was headed in the right direction or if anyone had a suggestion or too. TX.
