3. 26 Oct 2011 -- my Rawhide opener -- 2-41 -- no cre…

My friends keep giving me good suggestions!

I sometimes forget that not everyone likes the details of history as much as I do. So, this latest version cuts out some of the "history lesson" slides. It also interjects some pictures, so that there is even less of a "classroom" feel. (Some of that feel, however, is necessary -- and thus intended -- for the opener. I want the movie viewer to identify with why the soldiers are on this mission.) Many thanks to "DD" (in Tennessee, not the one in Hollywood) for her time and excellent comments on this angle.

Another friend, who has a professional graphics background, commented that the original B&W slides were too stark. She suggested black print on a tan background. When she mentioned "tan", it made me think of "Rawhide". But, the closest good-quality background texture that I found was "parchment". So, to keep somewhat of a "leathery" look, I made the print dark brown instead of black. (If this ever goes into full production, then I'll put her in charge of giving the slides a "branded leather" look. She's very smart, and would be worth her portion of the zillions that she could help my movie to earn!)
