Editing on LiveType

After long filming we finally got to the editing part which was done on LiveType on the Apple Mac. Because I never used the LiveType ever before, i received a lot of help from Nick, Andrew and Annabelle. But it didn't took me that long to get the grip of it, as long as you know the simple basics and tools. LiveType allows you to make use of 5 options which are livefonts, fonts, textures, objects and affects. And from there you can pick whatever font you like. What me and the group wanted was something which is a bit related to handwritings of a little child. So what me and Abubakar done was go first through every font and category. After long searching we have decided to use the "Itchy" font from the livefont option in the category "collectors edition. The original one has a white background, but instead of white we have decided to change it to black to make the opening sequence look more mysterious. After editing the credits on LiveType and rendering the clips we moved on to work on the soundtrack, but which was not done by me. It took place on the monday workshop between half term which i couldn't come to. But thanks to Patrice, Abubakar and Cassie, the  soundtrack and editing was all done which brings our opening sequence finally to a completed stage. I hope you all enjoy the opening sequence.
