i am new to motion graphics design for tv, but I am starting to work on the pieces to build my demoreel so it would be great if someone out there who has the experience can give me some advice on these:
it is a work-in-progress storyboard - i am wondering if the font i used would be legible on tv, and if the color would be ok? any comments/constructive criticisms are welcome. Many thanks -

goodmorning ernie, this is sweet! Id be more careful with this green on scene 5, make it more ''relative'' with the brown on scene 4. Why start with black ? How about trying a dark brown? :) keep moving, I like it

looks good. I really like the colors. But can use some work on your typography. Your storyboard looks good but it needs some style. Right now it looks pretty generic. Inject some of your own personality or style to make it sing.
Also would be interesting to see some texture in the background.
Love the flowers! good work.

Thanks a million you guys - these are very helpful --! Thanks for the color advice and suggestions - This is basically the second after effects piece i ever work on, so it has been hard for me to guess the color and font legibility when I don't have that fancy 14" tv..
I totally agree on the typography design and personality - I am hoping to add more type play once it animates (don't know yet how it would look!) but I just don't have that much personal style to sprinkle onto it yet especially when I just finished reading those two "Creating Motion Graphics" books -- hoping to establish it as I move along to more projects down the road... but any suggestions / good examples I should look at is more than welcome!

Your boards are stylish and elegant but the font choices are not good for TV. A TV image is made up of interlaced scanlines top-to-bottom (625 lines PAL, 525 lines NTSC) that result in a slight blurriness in the vertical detail. Consequently, type should be 'open', large and widely spaced for optimum legibility. Film is much better but sooner or later, most movies will end up on TV, so the same considerations apply.

thanks scanhead - i just am having the hardest time to find an art deco font that is legible and matches the style at the same time... sigh...
any suggestions?
