That's A Wrap!

After making version #3 I emailed 5 people of the focus group with the new and -what I personally consider- the best version. The response was so good that I sent it to some of the other members of the focus group that I hadn't originally emailed and they agreed, this version was just right! At the request of one of the members, I sent it to her husband who works supervising the editing for TV production; he was very impressed! I am really proud of version 3 and very confident in it does its job right!

 All I did to finish it was add the opening credits! For the Actors, I simply put their names (including mine because I did the voice over which is voice acting); after looking at some movie opening credits non of them put the actor's name along with the character they play, just their name. For every other role, I specified the role in its credit; for example, "Cinematography: Luis Andres Lageyre". Since my dad and I share the same name, I included our middle name to help differentiate us in the credits. I manually made sure every credit was the same font size and was roughly in the same position so the transition from name to name would be seamless.

FUN FACT: In an interesting coincidence, all the names shown have either a "Luis" or an "Enrique" in them.

I like the way the 2011 film "The Help" introduced its title, I'm doing something similar since I already had included that last shot! Instead of simply superimposing a picture on top of my video, my title is much more subtle; it doesn't break the flow of the opening, it's embedded in it.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but THAT'S A WRAP ON MY FILM OPENING!!! Now it's time for my CCR! Can't wait to have an update on that later tonight!
