Final Once Title Sequenced

Critique

At the in 60% progress critique there were a few things my classmates pointed out that they felt my title sequence needed work on. Timing was one of them, which I went back and worked on a lot of that to make it fit perfectly with the music. One of the comments was on the music itself, but I wanted to stay true to the movie in as many ways as possible and this song is how the movie's title sequence already starts and also just a great song. Another comment which I thought was very interesting was how I should specify who the actors are. It looked like they could be more directors, since Once was a very low budget film I didn't want to just use "starring..." so I chose introducing since this was the first movie the singing duo were featured in. The last thing people commented on was my typeface. I didn't argue much with what they were saying because I saw where they were coming from when making the comment, but I disagree with changing it. They felt that it should have a more elegant feel, but there is hardly anything about the movie that is really elegant. Since no one in class has actually seen the movie also it was hard to go off of what they were saying. I had a few people who actually have seen the movie once to take a look at it and they agreed that the typeface worked as is. It has a foreign look to it, which the movie is based in Ireland, and also contrasts nicely with the more elegant line work of my animation. So in the end I decided to keep my original typeface. I did try a few different ones just for kicks and none of them gave the same feel as the one I already had.
