Re: title sequence

I totally understand, and I am not trying to be harsh at all so sorry if it comes across that way.

My point is that tutorials are only meant to illustrate concepts and techniques, not be taken literally point by point. You have to put your own spin on it, or you never develop your own personal style. In the professional After Effects artist realm, it's all about personal style, originality and creativity.

A similar example is people who learn to play guitar purely by playing the songs of their favorite artists. Sure they may be able to mimick songs written by other people, but can they make up their own, original, good songs? The choice determines whether they play in a cover band their whole life or go on to be a true rock star.
