Title Animation
I made another title animation in Motion, this time 20 seconds instead of 10. That turned into around 16 hours of work and another 9 or so for export.
The texture I used for the floor and wall came from cgtextures.com, who appear to have a very reasonable terms of service regarding commercial and non-commercial use. The reason it took so long to export was because of the text. Since I wanted the camera to fly in so close to the title I needed the text to render at a very high quality. That takes time. The settings I used also did some hardcore anti-aliasing for object intersections which helped sell the point where the wall and floor met.
To compress for the web I ran it through an iOS droplet I made from Compressor with a data rate of 1Mbps. Any higher and my web host seems to have a problem delivering the video fast enough to iPhones or iPads. The Ogg Theora (Firefox) version was encoded in Terminal with FFMpeg2Theora at 3Mbps. The WebM version was done with Make Web Video, a Firefox extension (also at 3Mbps).
