Well, that's an interesting one. I'll have to load it up and have a look. I really can't remember! First off, I used Vegas Video and some plugins. The following two parts (Text and Golden Circle) are placed on seperate video tracks and then overlayed over each other. THE TEXT Basic text = "Data Corrupt". Switched on text effects = Deformation (Curve Bottom) + Draw Outline + Draw Shadow. I won't go into great detail about the exact settings, cause we all need to be individual! Added 2 plugins = Pixelan "Chromawarp" and "FlowTexture". Again, not giving specific settings here. GOLDEN CIRCLE It's the built in colour gradient plugin = elliptical shape. The movement in and back out is created by the use of the "Event Pan/Crop" option on the colour gradient part. That's all I can really tell you. I remember sitting playing with the golden circle and that's what I came up with. Then I just stuck a couple of sounds underneath and it seemed cool. Btw, the pulsetone sound can be heard on BigBrother in between their update clips. Hope that helps. Adam.

Well, to be honest, we've always had a title. But we never felt that it really lived up to what we had on camera. We called it "Data Corrupt". There's a reason - check this old note out: The plot is very simple and sounds very much like an action film: The year is 1985, a company is planning experiments with deadly results(!) - Their first experiment, Stephen Walker, will become their personal asassin - Over the years they experiment on few more - 17 years later... Present day... a young worker called David Crow is targeted but James Knight will stop them - this sparks off David and James investigation into the corrupt company - And also leads them on a path of revenge. I think it sounds really cool and although we want some nice AlamDV effects, we don't want to go overboard. Btw, I'll have to remember to post the full 6 minute version so you can all see the entire thing. Adam.
