TITLES & CREDITS

Possible Title Sequence:   Not sure if I want the jewels and lace to move in opposite sliding motions (e.i. the left side coming from the top, and the right side coming from the bottom of the screen to meet in their current places).  I want the Title itself to reveal itself as if it was being written--lots of masking in After Effects.  Maybe I should zoom out from the center of the page, with just the blue patterned background...  

Anyways, the sequence will then fade into the first scene with the Castle seen from far away with thorns and blue roses...

CREDITS BACKGROUND POSSIBILITIES:  

The Age of Innocence title sequence:  HERE

Stepping to the Castle's entrance...

COMMONERS

The Prince cannot turn back into the Castle as the wind blows thru the entrance.

Our main character walking down the steps of the Castle's grand staircase...

After descending the stairs...

I think I need to show the Old Woman walking by differently...

The Prince's feet seen walking into town...

The Prince feeling bad as he first enters the village...

The siblings he passes by....shivering from the cold, even under firelight...

We cut closer to see that he feels even worse with the next thing that he's about to witness...

BURNING SCENE TRIAL:

Hate how the flames move...  I want a more heat-wave type of thing that replicates real fire movement, I guess...

Thorns surround the Prince...

MOTION TESTS

This is the cel animation that I would like to go over the scene where the Prince just got outside the Palace (with the entrace of closed double doors right behind him)...

I want the Old Woman who passes the Prince after his descent from the staircase of the Castle to walk over the camera--us, the viewers.

A motion test for how the transition would be like from the previous, and the next feet animations...

This is the Prince walking from the transition of the Old Woman's cloak, into the village, out of his Castle comfort-zone...
