The plan here is to go onto cooltext, and using the 'Wizards' template to get a metalic look to the title, type in the name of the film - Gaia's Army - and try out different fonts. The first three images are different ideas, with blue backgrounds which would be keyed out in AE (After Effects). In the program I animated them to fade in at a distance, and float towards the camera before blurring out. Afte Louis stated he felt the title should have a link to Earth because of the name 'Gaia', I duplicated the titles, colour corrected to make the second layer blue, and then masked out a random shape to make the title green and blue. After feathering, I animated the mask to make the blue swirl around over the green, just like actual water.
When this was done I put over an adjustment layer and keyframed a colour correction, so the title starts off blue and green and fades steadily into a swirling browny/grey colour.
Bear in mind these are just ideas, by the way. Here's one of the tests, rendered out and uploaded to my youtube. I'll upload a few different versions and use a 'Ask Your Audience (Respond and Vote)' module to vote on a favourite style, and advance from there.
I viewed the first version on YouTube. I look forward to seeing how your ideas develop. I wonder if you will use any of the short-listed fonts that you showed me last lesson? I don't recognize the font in the After Effects version as one of those. All is going well with your group's work!
