[Robbie Comeau]

Here is a little video I whipped up, that I will put before my little comedy skits like this on:

nice, but it's hard to read your text.

Thank you

I didn't like it at all (the comedy skit was pretty good, but it was very hard to hear what God's "punchline" was). The text doesnt match the background at all, the sounds are very cheesey, and the movement through the Andrew Kramer Tunnel was unmotivated and ugly. When I say ugly, I mean that your brick texture isn't appealing to the eye. Its filled with too much clutter, and is just plain awkward. Also, why is the tunnel like 4 feet long? If you really want to use a tunnel, then it should be hundreds of feet long, with a super fast camera move through it, since that kind of effect is all you really get from moving through a tunnel (still don't get why a brick tunnel is related to a Comedy Series).

Sorry if I came off as offensive, that wasn't the intention. You obviously know how to use After Effects, so its just a matter of finding an appropriate style for the task at hand.

Well, it's all done in motion, i donit have after effects here at work.

Thanks though

Yeah, it's a disconnect. It's pointless to tweak the technical details of the animation when the direction is completely off base. There's no connection between the animation and the subject matter. I would scrap the entire thing and start from scratch. A "concept" is your starting point. A brick wall and a tunnel is not a concept. The creative direction for a comedy intro should be quirky and fun. The mood of the current piece is ominous, a complete disconnect.
