Rhubarb Titles

Here’s the rough cut version of the titles of my Brief History of Rhubarb animation. There’s lots of little improvements I could make to this but I need to see the whole two or three minute film first before I get into those final touches.

Like so many wildlife photographers, I’ve gone for a bit of slow motion in my opening shot of a mammoth discovering that rhubarb leaves contain oxalic acid and other chemicals as a defence against grazing animals. The slow motion wasn’t deliberate, but I’m still getting used to the timeline in Adobe Animate.
