Here's a cool into I created for my future Blockland videos. I wont use it on every little thing I upload, only for the finished productions. I gotta have a signature right? :P

Also since this will be used for future Blockland videos, I figured this relates to Blockland and is justified in being posted in this board.

Also, I was just messing around with effects and produced this:

Yes, Eksi did the same thing, that's where I got the idea.

Maybe you shouldn't use the blockland style text?

On my intro? Or the title thing?

What program do you use? Lemme guess, some big thing like "Adobe Premium Pro CS5" or something like that that's mac only :(

And did you use some sort of animation program (blender?) for the signature opening?

No, I just got Final Cut Express, and for the intro I used LiveType which comes with Final Cut packages.

I liked the intro.
It was pretty cool.

For the Blockland title thing, however, don't make the word scan across the screen in that direction.
If it moves from left to right, then the end of the word gets seen first.
If it moves right to left, the beginning of the word is seen, and it rolls on as if saying it.

It's like watching someone say DNALKCOLB instead of BLOCKLAND.
You read the ending before the beginning which is just weird.

Great!

Impact in the first video looked funny. Use a fresh non-overused one from somewhere like dafont.com.

Good job!

Ya, I should have switched it. I was actually going to when you posted that, but I lost the editing file for some reason and now I only have the video file. Woops

It's good, but i don't want to watch a 10 second intro when watching videos. Try a really fast intro or an outro :C

Blockland one is way to long.

Unless it's a long video worth watching, any intro over 10 seconds is annoying to me. I think you should just crop off the first 7 seconds, and speed it up if it is possible without the original file.
