Hence my decision to work on the titles instead. This has been a big project as it turns out, but having fought my way through the ins and outs of After Effects [Finally!] I am now more than halfway through the process. It's looking quite good for a first attempt, and I did scrap two half done ideas along the way, but I've now narrowed it down to one final plan. The following is an image taken from it, bear in mind this isn't finalised and could very well change before it's complete. It should give you an idea however.
I went for dark purple as my colour of choice in an homage to the real series, and also to class it up a little. I hope to be able to show you the full sequence once it's done.
My productivity, as usual, has hit the slowdown I am used to upon coming home. I have however packed a lot more into the holidays than normal, including a trip to visit my friend in Maidenhead [Documented in an earlier post] but also Easter weekend saw me and my family spend a lot of time together. We went to Brecon, which is a beautiful market town in Mid Wales, to visit the famous Farmer's Market which only occurs once a month. It was really nice to be able to stroll along the canal towards the town, and once there tread the streets of such a wonderfully vibrant place, all the while soaking up the sun from a cloudless sky.
The market itself was a little smaller than I had anticipated, but what it lacked in size it made up for in the diversity of products on display. Hand made soaps and toys, locally produced chocolate and beer, food products ranging from fifteen varieties of scotch eggs to a stall dedicated to milk and cheese all made from goats milk. There was a lot to spend money on and if I hadn't been so broke I certainly would have come home weighed down with stuff!

Easter Sunday meant a trip to Mums to eat a delicious roast dinner, and I was really enjoying spending the time with my little sister too who I see only once or twice a month these days on average.
With three excellent weekends in a row, I only wonder what the following one will entail, but most likely expect it to be largely quiet due to having no plans made. Oh well.
