As some of you know, I started work on an entry for STAR and ended up with a minute of footage before I decided to quit, since it was not turning out as I had planned. I just thought that I'd post the thirty-second title sequence for you all to see. I'd love to know what you think. All of the effects were done in Blender, with compositing in AE.
Thanks for watching!

Wow! That was great, I loved the camera movements.
Very well exciting. Not sure about the soft look. Could use a tiny bit more clarity, More animation.
That was cool, though slightly artificial looking. If it were in a film, I think it'd be rather long.
It seems that most of your films always have that 'soft' look. Is this because of the style, or because you just like it? (this is not to critisize you btw).
It has that, sorta, fake and real look, you know?

That's the simple version of my post. God, I wish I was better in English.
No way my title sequence would own yours.
Wow, I like how Blender makes it look real but not real at the same time. It's very amazing. I love it.

I know what you mean, and the whole film was supposed to be like that - have a sort of dreamy quality to it. In the original shot that would have been included in the film, the flame was not moving. It's 3d, so it looked kind of cool as the camera moved around it. The point of the film is that it was a single moment frozen in time as a king was assassinated. The entire film was to be one camera shot - we rotate out of the hallway to the king's chamber, up to his goblet, rotate around a drop of poison falling into it, then turn and move up through a hole in the ceiling until we see the assassin in a room above, then out the window down the rope he climbed in with and out to the forest, where an army was waiting.
So the entire film was to have this sort of soft, dreamy look to it. The title sequence is definitely lengthy - 30 seconds is pretty huge, but I wanted to use it to establish both the mood and the concept with the still flame. (I replaced the flame before I uploaded it to Vimeo just because I thought a moving flame was cool)

I like it. But I think it would be cooler if you made the text look like its written on the wall.
That film would have been awesome, though I might have changed up the order in which I showed the story's elements so we wouldn't know until the end what was going on. The credit sequence was pretty cool, though a bit long as others have mentioned. And I thought the text looked fine as it was. Only thing I might add would be making the flickering light of the torch onto the wall a little more prominent, possibly overlapping onto the text as well.
