Default Work in Progress - Opener

I've been thinking of a way to start this shot off from a blank screen. As a work-in-progress I've got this so far.

As a pheasability study it's ok i think it's a buit 'busy' and there's certainly stuff I will change.

Please critique.

Pretty fine work Alan. My only thought really is... Is this a bit psycadellic for what looks like will be a fairly normal video? I can see how brilliant it would be in, say a music vid, but an award presentation? Not sure. Very good job though, none the less.

Nice work.

maybe easing the keyframes would be an improvement.

Can't disagree with most of these comments.

But as it;s all done in Premiere Pro I can't easy-ease the keyframes unfortunately. I should have though of that though. d'oh!

If you right click on the keyframes you will get ease in/out options

That'll teach me not to open any video editting software for a few months won't it? I'm forgetting what you can do. :(

Hi Alan

That was a great opener, really grabs your attention, and yes I see what some of the comments are suggesting but it rather depends what the presentation is about.
The opener suggests to me "the coming together" or "fitting together like a jig-saw" which if it applies to the overall concept is fab.

Simply, for a new comer, hows it done!
