Currently working out a series of videos for theater intros. Using Unreal Engine.

Slow going but I hope to make one for every genre. At least I have one. I customized the Regal Cinemas 1990's roller coaster to my theater. Used some AI to change some wording in the narration and Davinci resolve to edit the text on the marque scroller.

Gruelling work as unreal Engine is hard to learn. Nothing is straight forward. Everything is a task. But I hope in the end it looks great.

Doing an old West town for westerns. A spooky gothic castle on a hill for horror. I plan to do a parody or homage to the Disney Castle for family movies.

But I really like watching the playlists on YouTube that feature simple CGI that reminds me of bowling alley animations. That is probably more easily done now with Unreal.

I will probably sparingly use AI but for home theater intros it seems tempting. But AI programs seem expensive.

Anyone else have customized intros?

Yea but just the simple stuff Warner Brothers and other studios intros changed to my theater name , simpler stuff like that

I was working on a customized Intro with Davinci Resolve. The mixing of the atmos sound was quite time consuming, why I lost motivation at some point. But I will give it another try and add a voice and test, if it still sounds super cheap. If not, I will maybe be motivated to continue on it

I am a bit lost on how to do even basic surround in Davinci Resolve. i was able to doa faux oen by duplicating the fronts to the back but if there is an AI tool out there i might do that. When i get to that point though, i may review some youtube videos on resolve. There has to be an easy way to sort of program sound.

We work with a variety of intro templates that can be found on various stock sites, like Envato. They typically require apps like Adobe After Effects to render custom content into the template, but it's quite effective. You can search for a variety of known studio intros or work with logo reveals that are completely different from those found at the head of major motion pictures.

There are also some people who you can pay to have intros built in the style of known studio intros. We couldn't find a Marvel style template for a student film festival, but found someone who had the ability to make one for us for about $50. It was incredibly similar to the comic book style Marvel intro - the kids were confused at first as this Marvel style intro began and then they lost their minds when they realize it was the title of the festival. They are out there. Just need to Google ;-)

That is cool! I remember seeing a website that did all kinds of video intros for like $5-10. Could have sworn one was Marvel. But I can't find the website anymore.
