It seems that we lost the original file for the second scene (barn door zoom), so I had to reconstruct it. I've attempted to get it as close as I can to the original! We made some slight tweaks to the transition between the exterior and interior of the barn — The cross dissolve has been slightly lengthened and now occurs a bit later. The panning on the inside of the barn starts out a little slower to match the speed of the zoom, which hopefully looks better!
I made a minor adjustment to the zoom on the blueprint — I slowed it down just a tad, to help give Sam a little more room to play with in terms of sound. The only downside is that now the blueprint isn't dead-centre and you can see some of the table on the left-hand side. It looks a bit weird but that's something we can come to correct later on.
We also slightly altered the side-on shot of the crow walking through the field. Originally, she came to a complete stop, but then in the next scene appeared to be walking again. This looked a little odd so we trimmed a bit off the end so that she doesn't stop moving. It's only a small change but it helped to keep the continuity between shots.
The last notable change is sticking Sam's logo on there as a placeholder. There's absolutely no animation there, it's by no means finalised — it just kind of pops up and disappears. I would have tried to do something a little nicer for the timing, but my laptop started shrieking and whining about having a low battery, so I pretty much had to get it exported on the double. Sam has very kindly offered to animate the title sequence for us, so I shall leave decisions regarding the timings and whatnot in his capable hands :]
Seems to me that it's really coming together now, but as always, suggestions and comments are more than welcome!
