Assets

I really liked this effect and it worked really well as an overlay using the soft light filter. It was very easy to slow down and speed up in premiere to match the length needed. This is where I learnt that movies failed to export without a background in to premiere and turned the background black - this usually made the edges look black. To battle this in later videos, I exported with a colour similar to the paint colour but I think for the fire, I liked the discharge it made in the final shot. 

The way this test unveiled the logo ended up being the only one kept in, as it was fast, could be sped up and also helped move the scene along as well as unveiling. But the part revealing the words itself was very clunky and didn't work well with the colour key background removal. 

I did really like this second outcome better than the first, but I think it was too slow and didn't reveal as much as I'd have liked it to. 

WWW - Smooth. More aesthetically pleasing, More legible. 

EBI - A bit too slow. Doesn't reveal all that much. 

I designed the logo with some transparency so that it looks liked the colour ink is etched in, similar to on the urns. This is a style I try to carry through in a few other assets like the flames and the Priam's treasure to make the 2D digital look more hand made.
