After a lot of tweaking this is the final intro to the film.
The bird flight was made in maya with toon lines. The line looked a lot cleaner than the lines from the mountains and the humans so i added noise to the toon lines to ruff them up a bit.
Sunday
Titles improved
Improved on a lot of things from the last blog. but still a timing issue and need to sort out the camera work.
Saturday
Introduction progression
**THIS BLOG WAS WRITEN LAST WEEK BUT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS UPLOADING THE VIDEO**
This is a render of the intro I've been working on. really happy with the drawing on effect and the images but there are still a few things that need sorting out, such as the doggy camera work. I've been working at Luisa's today and disusing what could be improved in the intro. we've decided it needs to be a lot faster and that it would be nice with some more animation from the bird, I'm working on these things right now and can be achieved quite easily . We also thought it would be nice it the lines would look like they soaked into the paper and spread out after they are drawn. This is an idea we got from the intro from Disney's Mulan which you can see below:
or if that doesn't work at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhSs24DXInY
I've spent most of my day trying out different ways of achieving this look on After Effects but they all ended up looking a bit naff. I'm gonna give it another go in the morning and hopefully it will come to me.
Hear is the intro so far:

Friday
Festivals and promoting our film.
I have been looking to festivals that we could possibly get our film shown at. so far i gathered a good amount of application forms and will be sending them off at the end of the month with the DVD of our film. 
Yesterday I had a great day of networking. In the morning I email an old friend Steven Van Grinsven.
Steven put on art exhibitions all over the world with his company 'Zinger Presents.' The exhibitions are usually mix medium and often incorporate some kind of moving image. In February 2008 Zinger Presents took me and my band to Rotterdam to play his exhibition. The exhibition was us playing a gig on a stage built by sculptor Graham Hudson with visuals by illustrator Julie Verhoeven.
Knowing that Steven was interested in mix mediums i asked if would be able to help in getting our film into any festival or exhibitions. Luckily he text me within an hour saying he had an exhibition opening in london yesterday night and told me to come down with some clips from the film.
The night went really well and he said he look at the clips and meet me for a drink later in the week to talk about it. He told me it is hard to get animations into exhibitions but he know some people that might be able to help. finger crossed that he likes what he sees and is able to help us get it shown somewhere.
At the exhibition there was a really interesting animation by artist Markus Vater and is well worth checking out. The exhibition will be open for 2 more months at:
92 Hoxton Street, N1 6LP nearest tube Old Street

Title test 4
I really don't like this one but i'm gonna carry on developing this technique because i think something good could come out of it. I had an orange glow on the letters as they fly past the screen but the haven't shown in this render. i'll have to sort that out for the next clip.
Monday
Title test 1
I'm doing some experiments in After Effects that could be put towards the title sequence. This is a working progress so there are a few more to be uploaded.
Wednesday
Water and land
i've been creating this scene in after effects. i was hoping to create a nice reflection in the water. i think it needs a bit more tweeking.
