This is the opening title sequence for the first season of 'The Bazura Project', a weekly entertainment news satire made for Channel 31 in Australia. I've included both the Season 1 and Season 2 openings as a comparison to show how it evolved.
Starting with the concept of a fly through the inner workings of a film projector, I decided to eschew realism in favour of a more emblematic and simplified design. This approached proved successful and was very popular with the audience.
The Bazura Project Opening - Season Two
For the second season, we decided to revamp the opening and make it less abstract. The models were given finer details and redesigned to more accurately represent a projector. Volumetric lighting was added and a focus matte was used to give a sense of depth and scale. The animation also includes a less extreme camera pass and creates an overall effect that feels slightly more realistic, whilst still holding to its abstract roots.
Everything was modeled, textured and animated in Blender, then exported in layers to After Effects, where I added the atmospheric, focus and lighting effects, such as the light streaks and flare from the projector lamp.
