Food for Thought - Production and Distribution - A Mixture of Things 3

After the designs for the title cards were confirmed, Cara started working on the credits next, we decided to keep things simple and simply listed down our most major roles (So not to make matters too complicated). And seeing that were wasn't much time left, all three character voices were credited to our dear voice actor, James Wood. It was a good thing that I had asked him to voice Johnny just in case I did not have the time to do it myself.

One of the changes made was the sizing of the test to create a slightly better hierarchy and to allow the names to stand out more (Much like the title card examples I looked into), other than that, not many changes were made.

Fiona was doing up a promotional poster for all of our animations about two nights back, after much consideration, and despite the funny pun-filled titles that was suggested to us, we decided to go with something simple for our animation so that our audience would understand straight what our animated documentary is actually about, and so we decided to go with "A History of Cake" ("Brief" was taken out as it made it too long).

Fiona later on mentioned that our characters looked incredibly thin as compared to the rest (Which would throw off the balance of the entire layout), and so quickly, I sent in one of the close up shots that we did for our animation of Johnny where he presses his face up against the glass, which I think looks much more interesting and fills up the slot so much better.

While Cara started working on our promotional materials yesterday afternoon, I was asked to at least write a synopsis for it as well as think up of a tagline, and so this was what I came up with (I thought up of tagline after realising a possible running gag should this short continue as a series):

Synopsis:
When taking a bite out of an oh so sweet slice of cake during teatime or whenever, have you ever wondered, just for a brief moment, when and where these lovely things actually first originated from? Join Johnny as he gets taken on an incredibly brief but interesting trip through time to learn about the history of cake, with an overly enthusiastic cake salesman as his guide. But oh, you want more? Do not despair then, as this is just the first of many adventures that Johnny gets dragged along on… without getting any ‘samples’ whatsoever.

Tag Line:
Just let him eat cake.
