Casino Royale-Style Intro Cinematic
« on: February 23, 2013, 01:34:28 am »

Ye Olde Link

It is, as you may have inferred, a Casino Royale-style intro cinematic. It's for a DnDish campaign I'm running (not technically DnD, but the game is as-of-yet unnamed and reasonably similar to DnD) with a group of friends who are unused to such tabletop goodness as DnD. The video has references to the plot, which will become apparent as they play the game, but I'm hoping it'll make them be all like 'whoa this is actually pretty cool I should give it a try' before I smack them upside the head with narration and role-playing. Fortunately, there are a couple of people there who are reasonably interested in the whole idea of the game, so we'll see how it pans out.

Any thoughts on the video? I have until tomorrow afternoon to make adjustments, but I think it turned out pretty good for something I made with After Effects and Illustrator in less than a week.

That was pretty good, actually. Especially since I have no idea how to do any of that. :P Only thing I would say is possibly cut down on the spinning things. I know it's plot-related, but I think there was rather a lot of it. :D

Thank you! :)

If I go back and redo anything in this, I'd try to add some more non-spinning motions. The thing is, spinning is an easy way for me to add 'busyness' to the video with my limited knowledge of After Effects. :P
