Rough cut - Critique and improvements

A frame displaying both of the most visible problems
The majority of critique we gained from peers and our teacher was that the cast credits (where we highlighted their names) was unclear and could be overlooked as credits. To fix this problem we opted to not redo the scenes but instead add digital credits beside it like the other non cast had. To make it look better, the letters will change colour as they are highlighted (from black to pink).

Storyboard final



After filming the first few shots of the previous storyboard, we decided that some scenes couldn't be filmed due to lack of resources (and sources from which we could get them..) therefore, we redid the storyboard and reordered the scenes already finished, as well as added new ones we have yet to film.

Font choice

little curiosities
Illumination Productions

Anon Studio

For the title we decided to use Two Turtle Doves for font.
The reason we chose to use this font was to display the childlike behaviour of the main surgeon character.
Final result:






For our Illumination Productions logo we decided to use Ariq as font. There were several fonts that we found suitable, but Ariq was the final choice as we wanted something bold and neat. The unfinished filling was attractive as it reflected the light bulb logo.
Final result:







For the Anon Studio logo we used Adler. For this too we had several ideas, but we stuck to typewriter fonts to give it an old eery look (we used a typewriter for the final animation of it as well). What attracted us to Adler was the inconsistency of thickness in the letters, and the inkier look of certain characters added to the creepiness of it.
Final result:








For all of these we used white letters on a black background. This is to create a abnormality by reversing the usual colours of black on white, and we wanted titles that would reflect on the dark theme of the opening. Anon studio has a grainier background to represent age and paper, to give it an older look.
