ELEMENT TEST AVAILABLE
I’ve had a very productive day - I’d call this me now being thoroughly over the hump, and almost ready to get cracking.
(Note: Actual video is only 3:30, there’s a dead 2 min at the end)
This is a test of all of the ‘elements’ that compose an episode of TCW: Refocused.
The actual ‘meat’ of the episode is only about 20 secs long, just as an example of lossless video and audio from the original source, and surrounding that is all of the opening titles, text, and closing credits.
I’m interested in feedback on two things:
- How does it feel? Obviously the actual episode itself doesn’t amount to much, but does the surrounding content tell you “this series is worthy of your time”, and position the episode within the wider tragedy of the clone wars? Are the production values high enough that it feels like it could have aired on TV? Does the opening draw you in and build anticipation? Does the closing let you mull over and digest the episode, and let you reflect on the creative process?
- How does it work technically? Any visual glitches? Any colours off? Any stuttering? Any bad transitions or fades? Is everything timed well, did you have enough time to take everything in without it dragging?
Feel free to absolutely savage this - it’s best it’s torn apart now rather than later!
Once I get this into a state where it’s worth taking forward, I’ll convert as much of this into universal assets and templates to make future episodes as repeatable as possible, then get to producing the first episodes!
