A year later, are you anywhere near scripting and filming?

Oh the ambitious teen-aged fan filmer... good luck with that! I was there once.

I've created a draft for the opening titles using dalekium's "lucky thirteen" theme
the first two names aren't 100% going to be final and I've also spelled executive wrong but apart from that, I'm pretty happy with them.
The "vortex" is made from two images I took of some water and some clouds. And then I animated them.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist and everything has to look perfect so that's a blessing and a curse, I take to long on everything as shown by this thread.

Be great to hear some thoughts on it! ;D
Looks great. Especially as the Doctor Who logo merges together. Can I make a suggestion? If you are having a pre-credit sequence, why not have one of your cast members scream at the camera from some unknown horror and blend the scream into the start of the titles as the sting? I always think that would be a good intro and I'm not sure it's been done before.
Looking amazing so far!!

Wow! I'm loving the concepts so far and that opening sequence is simply fantastic! I hope the production of your series goes well! ;D

WOW! Those titles are simply incredible! Combining the classic, visual tones and alien, ambient music with a crisp, clean appearance/effects. Looks very promising, good luck!
My suggestions:
Grain match your created elements to integrate with your captured footage, and (assuming you're at 1920x1080) in After Effects, write yourself a little micro-gate-weave expression as part of a Distort>Transform plugin on an adjustment layer - I'd use: wiggle(13,.3) on the Transform property of that Transform plug-in. A .5-1 pixel blur on the text elements will help, and I'd perhaps consider a little exposure flicker there as well. The stars aliasing you're getting you can avoid by rendering the field at 2x resolution, and then scaling down while blurring by .5-1 pixel. The captured footage is really your biggest liability in the composite, especially with its evident compression artifacting - if it were me I'll pull all the grain out of that and then grain-up the entire comp as one.
Hope that helps - Off to a great start!!
