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)
