Our Film Production Idents

Before our filming we needed to create a film production company to credit in the opening tites. we came up with three ideas and then several idents for them which I created using text generators and will be animating over the weekend.
I apologise for the intial lack of animation.
my first idea was more filler than anyhing else and was initially unliked by the rest of the group until they saw the design choosing it after an initial change of font to a sharper design.

Black cat studios was the first idea and the one which was eventually chosen. the final design will be animated with a slightly diferent font colour.
The idea of white chapel studios comes from the white chapel murders of jack the ripper. the intiial design seen above is a small section of victorian street designed in google sketchup the font is old english and it was initially supposed to contain a fog effect to add an old london setting.

the second design featuring a sketch of several inspectors pursuing a jack the ripper suspect went through several re designs concerning text font and colour.

both designs for crusader entertainment thought of by Zander Parkin contain a woodcut of a monk, a crusader and a priest one has been given a charcoal redesign and the other a flame effect which if it had been chosen would have been animated.
