Guy Fawkes Redone

Research following tutorial - Henry VIII title sequences.
I can see exactly the point about my typography when I look at this sequence compared to my own. I do really like the effect from the light writing but when I did it I was a bit concerned about the rounded shape of the letters and how it doesn't really fit with the period the personality is from. I have looked for typefaces that look like handwritten text from Guy Fawkes' time. I want the type to still look like it is being drawn out but I want it toned down and created in a more subtle manner. The typeface that I have decided to go with is 'Aquilline Two' but I want to work on the kerning slightly as it is uneven.

Titles revisited

Tutorial feedback
Things to work on:

Blake - 
  • Some parts a bit slide show like (esp. at beginning) try to alter this so less like this.
  • Need to fade all things at the end together (title, series titles and figure)
Cook - 
  • Slow down the quote and ending so both are up on screen longer for the audience to read. 
  • Slow down the place names - have several appear together, add blending effect or move over long period of time so not looking like they are just stuck there.
  • Perhaps zoom out on map only instead of following the vector paint line
Fawkes -
  • Try different typography - Uppercase old style?? see prologue show reel and Henry VIII title for Channel 4 current series. 
  • Ideas for sound - Apex Twin - dark mood, melancholy

so far..

I am going to take the work I have done on all my titles so far to the RSA. 
This is where I think I am at with them: 

William Blake - Completed






Captain Cook - Needs some reworking of timing and sound






Guy Fawkes - Needs sound
