This is the initial test of what could be a potential intro for my videos. I have needed a intro for a long time and a bit of a new years resolution was to create one. At first I did not know where to start or what the intro should be like. While watching some youtubers I enjoy (and some I do not enjoy) I noticed the main thing that made the intros memorable is that they were all so drastically different from each other yet so simple. The way they were designed also greatly reflected their personalities and likes. Then while watching a few older animated movies that I enjoy and some new age classic cartoons I noticed that the title cards were just like this! They were simple yet held a lot of meaning behind them. Things like Over the Garden Wall and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind had this timeless style to them. So I decided to pay homage to my favorite film of all time with my title card. Castle in the Sky. A lesser known work of Hayao Miyazaki but in my opinion, the best he has ever done. The way I recreated the slightly shaky text that was seen in the original film was as simple as first creating the text and having a grey backdrop. Then simple hold a older camera in my hand and record the text. I then used the grey backdrop as a Grey Screen and inserted the text atop the actual digital background. A Green Screen would have been much more common and easy to use but I wanted to make sure there was no even the slightest bit of a green glow around the text so I went with a Grey Screen which ensured that kind of thing would no show up in the final project.
