One down, 6 to go…

Well, I’ve managed to recreate the title sequence in Final Cut.
Hello Tokyo title sequence. 0’46” (4.2 MB QT)
In terms of fancy editing, this is certainly the most challenging of the seven segments. It incorporates superimpose edits with image masks, super track fades, scrolling text and some other trickery. This version isn’t exactly the same as the first one (check it out if you missed it) but it’s acceptably similar.
Now I’m stuck into the next sequence, Phrases, and it’s going relatively smoothly. One good thing about redoing the entire project is that I get to review and rethink my original edits. I’m paying closer attention to the audio sweetening this time. Tomorrow morning I will be creating a loop of “street noise” to play behind some of the voice overs.
