Alright guys, Here is a video done for my church that takes a little longer, but they had a kinda terrible video that they were using for intro'ing the videos etc... and I got asked to make one for them that wasn't so... what it was ( which worked for the time but not anymore ).

Anyway, I post because, I like it and want to share, and also because I'd like input on the text not the font etc..., but what it says. "coming soon" and then the church logo in a custom font that i can't replicate and they don't want to spend the time to have their graphics guy make the text, so plz don't ask, it already tweaks me enough.

I'd like suggestions on the color of the text, the wording, and the placement ( and this is going onto a projected screen which has much more of the image showing beyond the safteyzone and this shows where it is.

15 sec back to back clip

Thanks for any and all input, I just have coming soon there now and I've got one good alternative but I'd like some further input.

Dave

You want feedback on the "COMING SOON" portion - yes?

1] The type face looks too close to the brand font, and is looking like a compromise - choose a different rougher font

2] Using all UPPER and then a lower font size is weak. Choose one case and stay with it

3] White against a Yellow b/g? Not for me!

4] "Coming Soon" is NOT part of the brand - delay it from appearing and let it fade prior to the rest.

5] There is movement in the Sun rise - try a little horiz Gaussian blur over a sort period to sequence

6] Also regarding 5] above, there is a nice "stinger" sound, sequence that to it.

7] Use MORE of the quality of the Sunrise to "influence" appearance of the "Coming Soon"

Only thing I can add is to check it out on the projector. From my experience unless it's an expensive projector in a dark theatre things can look very different on the screen to what they look on your monitor.
Rereading what Grazie is saying at 3), moreso on a projector, subtle they don't do well, so absolutely, white text on yellow. regardless of artistic merit could just be unreadable.

projector was around $20K give or take, rear projection, I've checked it compared to my screen, and I am quite likely planning on changing the white text ( but thought I'd show it as white to see if it received negative feedback ).

Thanks guys, keep em coming, I can't have too many opinions ( at least when I can read them at will :) ).
