As suggested by the title of the film; God of Gamblers is generally about gambling and triad but with a typical Stephen Chow comedy twist to it. I wanted to keep the theme quite straight forward therefore decided to use casino chips as the main imagery. The ident starts off with subtitles again taken from the actual film, the chips will then start to fall, covering up the subtitles. I had the idea drawn out quite clearly on the storyboards and technically it wasn't too difficult.

First attempt, the chips were first drawn out on Ai and imported into Ae for the animating.

Another hour or so was put into this, I changed the font and the background colour, hoping to steer towards the theme/ colours of a casino, I also added more chips falling onto the surface. I wanted to cover up the whole table, but this was rather time consuming and I started to question whether it would be necessary to cover the green completely. Although it wasn't technically complicated, the amount of chips I had to animate made this quite time consuming and confusing, particularly after working on so many layers, speeds etc. I'm not particularly happy with this due to the motion of the chips flying onto the surface, but will see what the feedback's like from the crit.
