Feedback On Intro Desired

[budwzr]

I'd appreciate some honest feedback for this intro. I'm getting ready to launch a tutorial series on advanced Vegas concepts, and I'll probably use the same intro for all of them.

I know intros are annoying, but they help branding, and I have a lot of competitors. My tutes will all be advanced topics. Mostly I'd like to know what kind of sense of feeling does it impart.

There's no voiceover yet, so after the intro you can click off.

Thanks in advance.

I think "vegas pro" title is too a bit dark, you can barely see it

[budwzr]

That's because the "secrets" are hiding in it, so it's hard to see them, they're in the shadows, get it? So it doesn't work? OK, thanks.

The "shakers" in the music are supposed to be the sounds of the shaman (me) chasing away the locks. Did you get that part at least?

Hahaha, I'm kidding man, LMFAOROTF

LOL sounded like 80's music

The loops are from "Nu Disco" collection, good ear. Hahaha. The "bloom" sound in the beginning represents all the little guyas flourishing and showering down from heaven. Did you get THAT part? Hahahaha.

So the subliminal message is: "Guyas are good, locked secrets are bad, so if you stick with Guya, you're in, no more locks".

The red 'Guya' at the beginning is kind of ugly and all aliased?

So you sayin that guy is ugly

Can't help the aliasing, that's flash's typical chroma upsampling quality. Red on black shows it nicely, it's visible on any flash site youtube , vimeo, etc.. video

What! The red represents the blood and heart, and the jaggies are a reminder of how fragile life is, you didn't get that? ... hahaha.

All well and good but I could not figure out why you are a vacuum cleaner fanatic.

You might try a larger mouse pointer. It would be easier to see and follow on a small screen. I use the 'extra large black' on my laptop and it helps.

Hahaha, a "hoover" in music is a particular sound. It's two sawtooth oscillators detuned, but it sounds much better than it reads, MerryMerry.

Didn't know there were bigger ones, thanks, yeah that IS a problem.

Edit: That's much better!
