Composing Shot 6

Shot 6 was also fairly difficult to get right, and I'm still not 100% happy with it, but I feel it closes the title sequence quite nicely in a sketchy style.

The shot is made up of modified & colour corrected green screen footage of a desert road, some desert hills as a backdrop, and an orange / blue sky gradient.


In this first segment, I animated together two mirroring shots of the truck, with the characters driving it, so that it had a flipbook animated feel to it as it drives closer to the camera. 

The truck was animated by enlarging it, and adding subtle left & right movements as it drives along the road. A solid black layer with masks was added and animated to act as a shadow of the truck.


In this final shot, the characters and logo come from behind the camera, to the centre of the screen to show the show's logo. Like before, they have the shadow & lens flare effect along with a slight vignette. I applied a wiggle effect in post production to simulate a bumpy road at high speed. The title sequence comes to an end with the truck transition covering the screen into blackness.
