One thing I’ve noticed with movies that have a lot of CGI is that it tends to look more convincing under darker filters or muted tones. Bright color grading exposes fine details and lighting mismatches, making the effects appear less realistic.
Intros need to go man. I don’t care if it’s five seconds long, just get straight to the point. no fading in, no buildup. when I click, I want you speaking directly about the topic. and don’t even think about showing highlights as some kind of teaser intro… absolutely not.
