Weather you like it or not - it looks very cool. I like it! It's not exactly what I had in mind, but I like it.

Well, not sand, of course. I was just trying to give an example...
Think more, like, Superman opening - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qHDWdGPomw
You see how those letters disappear with a little visual effect? What if every line in the opening crawl would do the same but backwards. At first it's kind of blurry but then you can see it clearly.
Do you get the idea?
Ok, I'm gonna try and explain my idea.
You see how in the Star Wars crawl every line appears from the bottom? It just slides over on the screen. Slowly. With no effects.
What if this line (destroy an entire planet), for example -
- instead of just sliding over there from the bottom - appeared more like this -
?
Of course the speed needs to be changed and probably the color, but you get the idea, right? The cool thing is that you can still have the crawl fade out in the horizon an keep the same music and opening scene. It's just the way those lines appear that changes.
