Gridcoin is a cryptocurrency that rewards compute towards scientific applications, instead of POW hashing. Recently, the Gridcoin community has voted to adopt a new logo that is more in line with the logo art styles of the digital times we live in. To coincide with this, I have been generating some concepts for introductory cinematics that can head up or tail tutorial videos, content announcements, etc.
After the last two introductions I generated, I was inundated with feedback from both within and outside the Gridcoin community. Thank you all for taking the time to respond and provide feedback! On the whole, the primary issues were:
The introduction was too long at 15 seconds
The audio track was too relaxed, and the piano received generally negative feedback
The logo was too small at the end of the cinematic, or not clear enough
The highlights across the logo were sometimes perceived as rendering artifacts
Having taken all the above into account, I present to the Gridcoin community my third rendition of an introductory cinematic! We have a full 7 seconds of hyped up high fidelity audio, video stripped down to the core features, and high definition lighting!
As usual, any feedback is welcomed either on Steemit below or in the Gridcoin Slackchat. I am less active on the other channels - there are so many!
P.S. If no-one notices the shadow I may have an aneurysm.
