Progress & "Finalization"

So here we are - end of the term. I finally made it all the way through Art328!
Differences made to my title sequence are a mix of subtle and blatant. First off, after working in Audacity for a few hours trying to get the song editing correct, I decided to just drop it and find a new song that could still fit the emotive qualities inherent in my imagery, and could be edited with greater ease. I spent about 5 hours running through all the music I own, and narrowed the field down to three new choices:
"Company Town" by Painted Saints
"The Lament" by Painted Saints
"Mr. Goodnight" by The Kelley Deal 6000
I ended up settling on "Company Town," and it was much easier to get it edited down.
Unfortunately, I was planning to re-shoot my footage on Saturday, however when I arrived at Fairbanks, it was completely locked up. As a result, I had to time stretch some of the footage that I was already using to make things fit, however the result of slowing down some of the footage made things a bit choppy towards the middle of the sequence. Overall though, I'm fairly pleased with the end result.

title sequence: draft 2

So here's the same thing with just a few slight changes. Nothing too drastic yet, such as the pacing for the latter portion of the video.
"Trainspotting" rough draft 2

title sequence: draft1

Here is my rough draft for the "Trainspotting" title sequence. I think it's a decent start, but I feel that the end is pretty rushed, so I'll have to look more into the pacing. Other than that, it seems like a pretty good point to leave off at for the weekend.
