NOT FOR REUPLOAD Please share this around! I'd like to get this one 'out there' a bit more than my other intro's :D The idea of having a title sequence based around the concept of glass has been floating around inside my noggin for a while now, in fact I remember first having the idea in around April, but never really made any thing of it. I say this is an original concept, as I like to think it is, but sometimes on some Doctor Who related bits and pieces, you see shards of glass as a design implication too, more recently featured in the cover for 'Dark Eyes 4', where shards of glass hold images of the characters in the audio, but I've never seen it in a Doctor Who title sequence, and I'm glad I could get around to doing it! The Design Process: I started the sequence back on November 16th. I rendered out a short test, of a glass vortex with the TARDIS spinning through it, simple enough. I then developed that idea, and over a couple of days had about 10 seconds finished. However, these 10 seconds of footage didn't make it to the final product, for many reasons, but I hadn't decided that at the time. Next, I produced a section for the names, again not featured in the final thing, but remained fairly similar to what was included. I then produced the section for the logo and final section where the TARDIS spins and fractures the whole of the screen, both of these were included in the final sequence. I then went back and, as I said, replaced the two sections I felt were lacking, firstly the name section. The unused name section had a nice, but bulky font, which I felt didn't fit the sleek, precise feeling of 'glass', which led me to change it to a thinner typeface. The whole environment of a glass vortex, nebula and stars stayed virtually the same though, but with a few changes here and there. I then decided, literally 4 days ago, that the first section had to be replaced too, as I previously mentioned. It was far too busy and had, to my misjudgement, way too much Trapcode Shine, and the TARDIS dominated most of the screen, which I wanted to also rectify. So whilst I was away from home for Christmas, I literally drew on a piece of lined paper what I felt could replace it, which was uploaded to my Facebook page, the link of which is down below. I drew layers of space, with fractures through every one of them, behind which were planets, nebula and stars. I was happy with the idea, and the next day when I arrived back home, I produced the new planet section which features at the beginning of the sequence, which has gone through a number of changes over the last few days. I have failed to mention the logo sequence in detail, mainly because there isn't really much to it, aside from the logo being stacked, a suggestion passed to me by a good friend Ronan Goron, who you'll notice in the 'Special Thanks' list at the end. A number of friends gave me suggestions for the sequence, for which I am very grateful, but without a very close friend Ned Warren, who manages Gwylock1 (a channel which I co-manage), who produced a new theme rendition and also sound design for the titles and the post title sequence scene, the sequence certainly wouldn't be as fluid as it is.
